Manny Pacquiao vs BJ Penn at 150lbs...

[Miburo]

Mercer is slow, bad example.

Not a bad example: no boxer is accustomed to avoiding blows coming from that angle. They would be just as effective and unsettling a tactic. A faster fighter might not be stopped by them, but as I noted they could be used to set up the takedown.

In a boxing ring, MMA rules, three 12 minute rounds with MMA gloves.

Remember Manny used to be a kickboxer.

YAyyyyyyyyyyy............

Penn vs. Pulver

Penn vs. Pulver

I'm not sure what citing that fight is supposed to prove. Pacquiao certainly wouldn't be able to sprawl on Penn Nor is Penn remotely the same fighter as he was at that time.

Pulver is a stand-up fighter and Penn tried all his tricks to get him on the ground and ate some shots while doing it. If Pulver can land on Penn, I'm sure Pacman can.

Pulver indeed has a reputation as a boxer but he was also a collegiate wrestler if I recall correctly. No striking-based fighter succeeds in MMA without an expert sprawl, which comes from wrestling. Also keep in mind that was only Penn's FOURTH professional fight, and he was already fighting for the inaugural title.

Pacman by KO.

The point was will Pacman land? And you said he'd land only 0-1 shots before Penn submits him, I say based on Penn's past fights Pacman can land more, and I said Pacman gets submitted once he's on the ground; I never said Pac will win on an MMA match. What I said was Pacman wins this in less than a minute if it was purely a boxing match.

Why do people make these ****** fcuking threads?

In an MMA match Penn destroys Pac

In a Boxing match Pac destroys Penn.

You do not step into another man world and beat him.

Lewis Hamilton might have all the reflexs in eth world but if you put him on a Bike against valentino Rossi, Rossi would win, And visa versa in an F1 car.

Penn would have a harder time winning against Pac in an MMA match though, than Pac winning over Penn in a boxing match. Let Hamilton drive a Super Aguri and put Rossi in a Ferrari and see if Hamilton's reflexes wins him the race.
