    Pac now vs Floyd at 130? C'mon guys, I know a lot of you like to hate on Floyd, but he would have EVERY advantage. Floyd got hit with some flush shots and was never fazed at 130 or 135. It wasn't until he got to 140 that he was actually hurt by a punch. He would be faster, stronger and a MUCH better boxer than Pac. There is no reason to believe it would go more than 6.

I would love to see PBF go down in weight to see what would happen. I would love to see Pac go up in weight to see what would happen. We might be surprised.
      PBF cleaned out the whole division and blasted everyone from 130 to 135 with the exception of Jose Luis Castillo. Pacman wouldnt even come close, he would be smaller and so hittable PBF would end up just kicking his ass up and down the ring. PBF was stopping people with ease in alot of instances at 130 and pacman sadly would be no different. Being highly rated doesnt mean ****, Pac went the distance with JMM and PBF is 3 times what JMM is in terms of counterpunching and overall skill as well as defense along with the ability to adjust which says alot since JMM is p4p one of the best fighters in the world. Pac is just too hittable.

        I dont know how many rounds it would go but it would be a good fight. RJJ didnt get ko'ed by Ruiz but he got ko'ed by Glencoffe, so i dont really like looking at things like that. If Pac was able to hit PBF enough times he would be hurt. His defense is such that he dont get hit a lot. But he wouldnt want to take liberties.
        It dont take much lb#s of pressure on the jaw to be ko#ed

          But are'nt we forgetting that if Floyd goes down to 130 they will be just about the same weight and he just might be soooo much weaker at that weight?

          I know he started at 130 but Pac started at 115 (Am I correct)?

          So if Floyd moves back to 130 what kind of effect would it have on his power and especially his stamina? You saw what those few pounds did to Morales. It completely drained him, we just MIGHT be looking at a different Floyd if they were to fight.

          Not only that but Pac just gets better and better with every fight I see him in. (except the Solis fight because he was distracted by politics even roach said that Manny did a bad job in that fight)

          Look at the difference between Manny in his fight between Barrera and his third fight against Morales, I know Morales made Pac look good during that fight but theres no doubt that Manny had a better right hook and was much much bigger and faster than he was in their second fight.

          As of this moment Manny is trying to develop a right uppercut. So who knows what he'll come up with in a few fights.

          My point is Manny MIGHT improve and Mayweather MIGHT get worse, then again I'm not psychich, who knows?

            its not going to happen unless Pac comes up in weight....no way Mayweather drops nearly 20lbs to get to 130...

            Now if we are talking current Pac vs PBF when he WAS at 130....no contest...Floyd by decisive KO...idk about in 3...but i agree with the statement above about 6rd MAX....

            Floyd was too fast, elusive and strong at 130....moved up....put on weight....was too fast and elusive at 140....was too fast and elusive at 147 and same goes for his fight with DLH....and not to mention while ive seen him get "hurt" at the higher weights he still has not gone down, or been seriously hurt in my opinion....

            Remember....people complain all the time about Floyd not having KO power...but remember he is fighting recently at 147-154lbs....coming up from a natural 130...hell he had trouble getting to 154 to fight DLH....IMO there is a bigger difference between 130-154 power and strength wise than there is going from where Pac started (bantamweight? maybe...) and the jump to 130....guys like Baldi, and DLH are seriously bigger than Floyd...so of course he is not going to have KO power there...

            Floyd at 130 would just be a nightmare for Pac-Man....too fast...too elusive...too strong...add those 3 up and you have a KTFO type situation....

              I think prime Floyd at 130 stops Pac but he never fought agressivly enough to stop him in as early as 3 rounds.n

                Everybody has an opinion we will never know it if they don't fight in the ring. I'd say PACMAN will ko floyd at 130 take a look at how mayweather fight vs hernandez and chaves mayweather had a tough time between this two boxers who will just brutalized by the current pacman. So if u think that pacman will just blown away by mayweather think again. Anyway just my honest opinion.

                  Which Hernandez? Floyd won almost every round on every judges scorecard vs. Chavez and both C Hernandez and G Hernandez and KO'd each of them except C. Hernandez, which is the first time he broke hand in a fight. He hurt it in the 6h round and still only lost 3 rounds on the scorecard that was most even. Believe me, he didn't have much trouble.

                    What he said, but I still like Pac!

                      I cant believe how ignorants you guys are. are we talking about reality here???

                      RJJ went down to 175 after weighing 198 againts ruiz.

                      so you guys think that if PBF makes 130 today he'll be the same fighter that stopped the late chico corrales??? he'll have to lose 20 lbs in a few months and assuming that it wont have a negative effect on him is wishing.


                      PAC will stop PBF @130
                      PBF over PAC @135
                      PBF by stoppage @140
                      PBF by MURDER @147


                      a PAC win @130 is very realistic because PBF will be zapped at that weight and that is PAC's best weight. they are not the same size and if Floyd goes down to pacs domain he'll be kayoed.
