How would Mayweather fight Pac?

[Tha_Greatest]

Well there wasn't much going on for him at 130 as none of the guys from 126 would move up! How does moving up to face challenges make him a clown? i think floyd was one of best of all time at 135lbs. Apart form the prime versions of Leonard and Duran, there aren't many who would beat him up. Even Floyd would have a chance V Duran when he became fat and indisciplines. Obviosuly the prime version would beat his ass like he did with Leonard. If floyd takes on all comers and beat them, he is not a clown even if his period was not as tough as the Fab Four's

first of all, do you think hes one of the top 25 all time fighters

NO!!! Where did that one come from? Lol. I'm not one of these delusional annoying newbie fans you talk of, as is alreayd clearly apparent. Do not mistake me for some noob. i just think you need to give him a bit more credit, no matter what the clowns say. I also genuinely beleive although he is no all time great (just a future hall of famer), he could hang in there with a few of them and at least make the fight competitive.

Obviously the likes of a prime Duran or Leonard would kill him, but he could hang in there with most other lightweights and even light welterweights for 12 rounds. At Welterweight his problems begin 9and will never finish) and I won't even compare him against them because that is crazy. However, he is one of the best of the current crop

even back at 130 floyd was looking at featherweights and bantamweights to move up to fight him? how pathetic!

Lol, that is harsh considering it is only 4lbs to move up from 126lbs and at one point he did even say he would move DOWN to fight them but Naz and then his succesor Barrera didn't want any part of it. He said it after Naz said he was a featherweight and perfect at that weight so shouldn't have to move up, because nobody asks tiger Woods to get fat (see HBO footage of Augie Sanchez tune up). That's a fact.

I guess you guys have history. I can't comment on him coz I don't know all his views. I'll let you get on with it. Cheers for the green K!

He would be cautious early and look not get hit with anything early. As the rounds go on he would get more aggressive and land rights hands with real accuracy. What would make the fight good is that I think Pac would eventually take a gamble and force Floyd to increase his punch out put and we would gt to see fireworks.

just remember, Pacquiao is much better than Zab Judah, Mayweather needs to have a creative gameplan, if he fights Pacquiao like he fought Zab he would get knocked out. Pacquiao hit's just as hard as Zab, and throws 3 times more. He's even quicker then Zab and around the same size.

This fight is 50/50 and could go ether way, Pacquiao is way better then anyone Mayweather has ever fought in his career. Pacquiao beat the Mexican trio and destroyed Oscar and Hatton (regardless if you want to use the weight excuse or not). On the other hand, Mayweather is not leagues better than anyone Pac has fought. He's still the best, but world class competition isn't new to Pacquiao.

I'm a Pac fan but I think you're overrating him a fair amount. To say he's "way better" than anyone Mayweather has ever fought is a bit ludicrous. His most recent wins, while impressive, played right into his style and made him look very, very good. Put him in with a slickster, counterpuncher, or defensive technician and he no longer looks like Superman.

I do think it will be a close fight if it ever does happen though.

Look man, Floyd might have been the very first fighter you looked up to. I'll give you young posters that much. I went through my little idolization of fighters when I was younger. As you get older you learn to judge fighters on what they do in the ring not what you hope he will do. He is not unbeatable ladies and gentleman.

Pac has a very high work rate from opening bell till last bell, this is a fact. If Floyd stays in punching range of Manny he might land a pot shot but you know what.. Pac will also land and drive him back cut off the ring. A few times trying this Floyd will get the hint he can't engage Pac without getting caught in the kisser. So he will run around the ring until Pac cuts him off and forces him to engage again. It's gonna be cat and mouse until he tires and finally has to fight. I see most of the action in this fight being on the ropes. Pac can and will beat Floyd. Yes Floyd is a highly skilled fighter I know this. But Pac has ammo to beat him. Imagine the DLH fight with Oscar not tiring down the stretch but with more punches coming at different directions.

Since Pac broke on the big stage after Mayweather, your logic should apply to those picking Pacquiao rather than Mayweather.
