Would Manny Pacquiao go threw Mayweather's 130-135 resume undefeated?

No, Castillo doesnt go down if you notices, he took a knee at age 34 against Hatton and was stopped on his feet against Corrales (and that was after 10 rounds of trading with one of the hardest hitters of 130-135 of recent memory). So how on earth is Pac going to put him on his ass?Comment

2) Mayweather never starved himself to make weight as the small difference between weighin and weight on fight night shows.Comment

I'm just not Impressed by Coralles, Pacquiao was a bit sloppy during his younger years but at 130 he improved a lot towards the end. Coralles didn't have amazing defense ether, everyone knows Manny can hit at 130 I just can't see him losing to a fighter that throws 10 punches per round. Pacquiao has never been 1 punch knocked down other than when he was 18 against Torecampo, and he looked like a little boy.
Yes Corrales hits hard, but Corrales isn't a good boxer, and he's not to quick. The only reason Marquez gave Manny hell is because he's an expert boxer and his handspeed rivals Mayweathers.
Pacquiao has just as much power at 130 as Mayweather did, he's got 35 ko's so far.
and lol @ the bold again...Comment

Y'all must buy into the hype that Pacquiao just likes to beat up on old past prime fighters if you think that all he knows is to stand and trade. Fact is Pacquiao has had just as long if not longer careers than his best opposition. Pac was already a lineal world flyweight champ a year be4 marquez won his 1st vacant world title. You dont survive 13yrs as a pro in these lighter divisions let alone become #1p4p just relying on speed and power like a darchinyan or mayorga.
and the fact that pac is still in shape doesnt erase that he fought shot fighters Morales was coming off losses every single time he fought pacman. Last time I checked prime Morales had a tendency to win his fights.Comment

Pac would work in and out flurries against castillo and break him down the way he did with diaz. Corales would be a much tougher test. I think he would stand and trade with chico. He would slip the jab and trade on the inside. Chico had a tendency to swing wide. By flurrying on the inside it would push chico to play into Pac's pace and cut his power in half.
David Diaz = weakest titleholder @135 in a while (needed a gift against a shot Morales (the biggest win on is resume, KOed by Kendall Holt). About zero skills.
Castillo = best lightweight of this decade after Mayweather. Holds victories over Corrales, Casamayor, Johnston and gave Mayweather his toughest fight. One of the best infighters in the game, excellent timing and control of the ring on top of that.
And also I highly doubt Corrales would be the tougher test of the twoComment

At 130-135lbs, Manny would have blitz the same opponents Mayweather did. Maybe even better due to his power and sheer aggression. His footwork is amazing, the way he setups his shots and moves in and out. Just like everyone else who faces previous Floyd opponents. They usually beat them up equally if not worse. Manny is a beast at 130 and 135lbs. He would blow away Chico probably worse because the knockdowns wouldn't be from flash hits and punches he didn't see coming. It would be from sheer power and that would hurt Diego.Comment

What??? Read again homie. I said he'd use the Diaz tactics against CASTILLO!!!! Against Chico he'd stand and trade on the inside without backing up. It will cut chico's power in half and he's too much of a warrior to clinch and smother opponents with his size even when he's getting outworked on the insideComment
