Pacquiao was spectacular last night. He showed it all.
I believe that Pac has got a great shot at beating any of the WW's.
The only guy I would solidly pick against Pac would be Paul Williams. But Williams would have to amputate an arm to be a WW again.
Pac proved that he can take a punch from a hard hitting WW. Cotto hit him good in the body and head and Pac took it and fired back.
If he can take Cottos artillery then he should be able to take Mosleys shots and could definitely take Mayweathers.
After Mayweather fought Marquez I was worried that Pac wouldn't be able deal with Mayweathers defense and ring generalship.
My opinion has changed after last night.
Pac keeps getting better.
He has enough speed to hang with Mayweather.
He has enough power to hurt Mayweather.
He has enough unpredictability and angle to get to and through Mayweathers defense. Mayweather is an all time great defensive boxer but Pac is a freak with his angles, explosion and constant energy.
I think he is a nightmare for Mayweather. Pac would more than likely win a UD against Mayweather because Mayweather would be moving back almost the entire fight. I believe if he stayed on the rope and did the shoulder roll with Pac then Pac would get him out of there in 5-6 rds. This defensive tactic would be a disaster against Pac.
Another thought on Pac vs. Mayweather: F**k Mayweather and his 70/30 or 60/40 split on a potential fight with Pac. That arrogant f****r. He likes to go on about "My house is bought and paid for,......is Manny's, is yours??" I'm so tired of hearing about how he is IT. "I'm the attraction in boxing, nobody sells tickets like Money Mayweather". That is bull. Pacquiao's weigh ins are more exciting than Mayweathers fight. I'm serious.
It should be a 50/50 split or even 60/40 for Pacquiao. Pacquiao is the draw. People may want to see Mayweather but it is to see Mayweather get beat up.
Mosley is too old for Pac.
I love Shane Moseley. I'm a very big fan of his. But Pac will retire him. Pac would beat up Mosely. There's no way a 38-39 year old fighter is going to beat Pac. NO WAY. Mosely doesn't throw enough punches to keep Pac off of him. Mosely looked great against Margarito. But Margarito is slow and Pac is a speed freak with frightening power.
Oh, and by the way I find it humurous how DeLaHoya said "Pac can't hit hard". LOL. He was hurting ODLH in their fight. ONe more round and that would have been TKO or even KO.
I'm not trying to be a nuthugger for Pacquiao but I just appreciate what he is doing for boxing. He is a CELEBRATION OF BOXING. At a time where MMA is getting so much attention, Pac represents boxing in such a remarkable way.
My MMA friends that watched Mayweather vs. Marquez kept telling me "This sucks,.....this is why boxing is in trouble,.....who wants to watch this loud mouthed ego maniac be defensive for 12 rds??" My MMA friends have a point.
So Manny is a good thing.
Hat's off to Cotto. What a warrior. I had a tear in my eye at the end of the fight last night. I love both of these fighters. It's too bad someone has to lose when there both good guys. God bless Cotto.
