    Winky Wright's style would be the best fit. A tight defense that could block his counters and a jab that could contain his speed plus the height.

      Never faced one.
      Pac has never faced a boxer as skilled as Floyd.

        Pacquiao has the speed and physical attributes to give Mayweather problems but he doesnt have the brains. Pacquiao is a ****** fighter who couldnt even adjust to a tired, bloody Cotto in the late rounds.

        As long as Mayweather is fighting at or below 154 and hes under the age of 36 he will remain undefeated. Just Truth.

          no.


          You can't say that.

          We are talking at 147. Floyd at 147, all he has done is run and potshot. I know Floyd was very adaptable in the lower weights.

            A dude like Marvin Hagler had the perfect style along with the physical attributes to beat a fighter like Mayweather in my opinion.

              I agree.

              which is why focus is important here. Pac has to be fully focused to overwhelm Floyd.

              And say what you want about JMM, but he has great heart, and a great chin. He may have been knocked down in his career, but he always got up clear headed and never has been KO'ed.

              I think JMM's chin is better than Floyd's. But there is no way to really know, Floyd's chin has never truly been tested by consecutive shots.

              And Morales... well Pac has 10 oz gloves in that fight, this fight with FLoyd will be 8 oz gloves.. A very telling detail.

                  Pac's footwork is his reach.

                  If he gets that on point, unlike it was in the Cotto fight, then he has advantage

                      i agree to some... if pac can LAND early and OFTEN while going FORWARD in the first 5-7 rounds then that lil ****er shocks the world..

                      if floyds defense is right and he gets him backing up frm jabs and right hands then its CURTAINS CLOSED
