Pac v. Floyd = Sweet Pea vs Buddy Mcgirt?

[mikelovesfood]

Where on earth are the similarities there ? McGirt was technically superior to Manny, he was not left handed, he had a good defence and counter punching was his game.

Manny is a Southpaw who's activity and footspeed are his defence, totally different fighters.

While I was watching the fight I couldn't help but to think that from a standpoint it looked like it was pac and floyd in there ( sweet p being pac and mcgirt as floyd). I'm still watching the fight to get a better examination.

No similarities.

even then, it would still be a little 'off'...meldrick wasn't as defensively polished as floyd nor did JCC have the speed of PAC


im scrambling my brain right now tryin to find a similar matchup but there really havent been too many fighters like pacquiao and mayweather facing off

I said Whitaker vs Meldrick Taylor would have been similar to this. Since Pacquiao fights more like Taylor than he does McGirt.

Whitaker vs McGirt I was a really close fight. It could be that close. McGirt was underrated at WW, only difference is, Pacquiao ain't anything like Whitaker and Mayweather has a better defense/ footwork then McGirt.

i think they are comparing whitaker too mayweather and mcgirt to pacquiao.

and i see this being a shutout if they fight. not a close fight like mcgirt and pernell

I am pretty sure they are comparing Mayweather to Whitaker, and Pacquiao to McGirt.

I was thinking more like Pac as Whitaker and Floyd as Mcgirt.

Just based purely on their stances.



I'm just curious as everyone else here is about how the most anticipated match of recent years would turn out or at least look like.

other than stances pacquiao fight nothing like Whitaker at all, and Mayweather is better defensively and got better footwork and speed than buddy.

/Discuss.

floyd and pac don't resemble mcgirt or sweet p at all.

I think McGirt and Mayweather have the same hand speed.

And Pac has better footwork/upper body movement than Whitaker. His work rate is pretty much 2x greater.

I agree w/ you on the Floyd comparison. He's better defensively and probably wouldn't have allowed that many punches landed.

their stances...sort of.
