    I don't see Pacquiao going up just to meet Mayweather. If Mayweather wants him, he will have to lose alot of weight. IMO

      I doubt Mayweather wants him. He said Pacquiao is a good fighter, but is pretty one-dimensional, which I think is pretty on-point. I think Mayweather could box circles around him easily.

        I disagree as to both of those statement. Pacquiao is not "one dimensional" IMO. Mayweather has explained in interviews what he means by "one dimensional." He considers that to be a boxer that comes straight forward. Pacquiao gives you all angles. Athletically, that kid is amazing. This would be a great match-up if the weight was right.

          Paquao's maing attribute is his punching power. Anything above super-feather and he can't crack an egg. Just look at Diego corrales who was one of the hardest punchers at super-feather/lightweight. His power was completely gone at 147 even though he was a tall fighter. He was competitive vs Clottey but lacked power in that fight. Castillo at 140 in his 2 fights at 140 had no power at all.

          Paquao might carry his speed to the upper divisions but without any defensive skills and any real boxing fundementals he can't compete with any decent 140/147 fighter. Floyd has also lost his punching power but his boxing skills carried him, even at 154 where he has not business beinga at.

            Wouldn't Kessler beating Calzaghe be a bigger upset?
            Kessler Calzaghe is quite a bit closer than Hatton Mayweather. Hatton winning would be an upset although I wouldnt be that surprised. Mayeathers style has changed enough for him to be beaten by someone like Hatton.

                Mayweather throws about 20-25 punches around.

                  Mayweather has already grown into his frame. You have to remember, 10 years ago when Mayweather was at 130, he was still a growing young man. Pac would have to blow up to at least 140 imo to even consider a bout with Floyd, in which case he'd lose in embarrassing fashion.

                    Only Willie Pep can win fights doing something like that.

                      Pac was weighing 140 at fight night against morales in their third fight so no he could be in great shape at 140.
