Has Floyd Mayweather fought anyone like Manny Pacquiao?

[MANGLER]

By style, no. Mr boat buyer is fightin a new animal in Pac, but I still think he wins.

[iron lung]

yes he fought Zab who is both faster and hits harder than Pac. But mentally and boxing skills go to Pac. But Zab is a decent precursor.

[THE REED]

Floyd knows in the back of his mind that a fight with Pac would be the hardest fight of his career.

agreed.....

[Sin City]

no, Pacquiao has a very unique style, very akward.

[VERSION1 (V1)]

zab is near but stamina and power is different story... Plus slight edge on speed..

Btw, pac has never fought a fighter like floyd... Though jmm is close in counterpunching..

cosign..............

[Tankster]

He's never fought anyone as great as Pacquiao, no.

Style wise I guess you could say Zab, but Pacquiao fights more unpredictably and off rhythm. Also he won't gas or lose concentration

Very good post. Pacquiao is not a textbook boxer he is unpredictable very fast, strong and explosive. He is a difficult matchup for anybody because everytime you fight him is a surprise you cannot set a specific style to counter his. And remember a lefty judah clipped mayweather so im sure pacquiao will do as well I don't know how floyd can take it though.

[ACHlLLES]

both fruity.

hahahahaha

[Bullet Bill]

zab judah.

[VaBoriKua 2.0]

Zab Judah 37(25) 12 by decision
Manny Pacquiao 49(37) 12 by decision

KO-ratio wise, they look the same to me so those who say Pacquiao is stronger are basing that on absolutely nothing.
Zab has more explosive power and he is fast as hell.
Manny Pacquiao is the better fighter all-around but for the 6 rounds that Judah can fight, he's a hand full for anybody.


Mayweather probably has never fought anyone like Pacquiao, just like Pacquiao has never fought anyone ike Mayweather.

Difference is, Pacquiao has losses to lesser opponents and a past prime Morales. Mayweather has no losses. Period.

and the other difference is that pacquiao has fought much better competition than floyd has.

yes he fought Zab who is both faster and hits harder than Pac. But mentally and boxing skills go to Pac. But Zab is a decent precursor.

Zab Judah is not faster than Manny Pacquiao in the sense of throwing and landing punches. Zab has quick spurts of punching, but you can time Zab very easily as Floyd and Cotto both did. Pacquiao moves around a lot and makes it difficult for someone who's waiting on his every move to make their own move.

Pacquiao also throws from odd angles but still maintains his speed and power by using his legs to pivot into his punches. That's one of the secret weapons many people overlook when talking about Pacquiao's abilities in the ring.

There are a lot of fast punchers in Boxing, but only a few % actually know how to utilize their speed to its fullest potential.
