Would it be surreal if Floyd lost to Manny??

[Dan...]

No it wouldn't. He is blowing out elite Welters, it wouldn't be a big surprise if he beat Floyd.

Not really that surreal compared to Tyson and Douglas, or when Prince Naseem was destroyed By Barreras. At the time. Hamed was seen almost like a god LOL.

What would surreal is if 6 month from now, boxingscene forum members were to create posts claiming that 'Fraud Gayweather is ducking Andre Berto'. Now that would be surreal. I could see it now.

I understand what the guy meant about the steroids if Pac stopped Floyd. I would agree 1000 percent "if" Pac was a righty. I just dont see any righty in history really hitting Floyd clean so I dont think Pac would have any chance of stopping him. However, with him being Southpaw it is very possible that he could catch Floyd with something. Dont underestimate that aspect. I think it can totally change the outcome of a fight.

As for people who say that Floyd can dominae it in a one sided fashion. Ive never been one to say that if this guy did this then imagine what this guy can do. I dont think that hardly ever holds up but if there is any fight where I could see that happening its this one, compared to Pac-JMM. I think some people feel like Floyd is JMM except alot better in every catagory so he can do that to Pac and make it one sided. IDK if thats true but I can understand that thinking.

As for Floyd losing. I think it would be surreal in a sense but maybe thats just because Im a Floyd fan. I think alot of people think that he's beatable but to see him truly get beat convincingly would be a little weird. Tarver beating RJ wasnt shocking at all to me. Alot of people was worried about how RJ would look dropping all that muscle. He looked like a dead man in that 1st fight and Tarver almost beat him so I knew that Tarver would definatly beat him the 2nd time if RJ didnt look like his normal self

If he wins by devastating KO---as a Pacquiao fan--I will start to consider Pacquiao taking roids. No offense to Pacquiao fans. Mayweather is too defensive for Pacquiao to get any signficant shot.

Anyways, Pacquiao will probably lose on my points but I would laugh so hard if pacquiao won with Mayweather crying because of his ruined record.

The same way Vargas put a beating on Oscar?

This fight is nowhere near as competitive as people think.

same thing i was thinking

I literally can't fathom in my mind Floyd losing to Pac. If Pac beat him...........I would need surgery to put ma jaw back in the right place because it would fall right down to the floor.

I cant see Pac straight out just beating Floyd over the course of a fight but I could see Pac hurting him very early. Thats why I keep saying that I think its like a 3 or 4 round fight. I think after that Floyd will adjust, figure him out, and Pac wont come close to winning another round with Floyd maybe stopping him late. However, in those first 3 or 4 rounds I can also see Pac catching him. I think Pac doesnt let the crowd bother him and is the same Pac every fight and he always starts fast. Floyd was the same exact way up until the Oscar fight. Since that fight I think the stage gets a little too big for him at the start and he fights a little nervous and skittish early. He never use to start off in round 1 like he did against Hatton. If he starts that way against Pac then Pac could catch him with a left that I think could rock Floyd before he even gets settled in, due to that Southpaw style.

Thats the only chance Pac has to me. He has to stop him in the first 3 or 4 rounds or hurt him so bad in that time that Floyd is dazed for the rest of the fight or atleast a long time. Thats his only shot. Even if Pac is up 3-0 or 3-1, and has landed some hard shots but just regular hard shots, he still has no chance to win. Floyd will figure him out and shut him out the rest of the way. All that is the worst case. I could also see Floyd just skooling him from the jump and making it a wipe out, e****ally if Floyd is calm and starts fast like he use to before the big mainstream fights.

Oscar was always a big guy in lower divisions with a big frame.

Pacquiao is not built like that. In my view, for the past few years he was a 140 fighter draining himself to make 130 at SFW. He's a lethal 140 but at 147 his power wanes but he still has pop as the Cotto fight showed. He shouldn't be able to KO guys like Hatton at 147 let alone guys like Floyd. Packy would need to break them down first to get a KO. Not even Roberto Duran could carry all his power up at higher weights and fight at an elite level not unless his opponents were bums. There's a limit with how far a fighter can carry their power when going up in weight.

No, Pacquiao is a southpaw. They are difficult to fight, I'd expect Manny to land lots of shots on Floyd
