Boxing is all about styles, but aint no style is gonna beat PAC !!

[sultanisking]

pacman is doing well but this is his first fighter he is fighting at his peak, odlh was drained, hatton well past it, cotto gettign beats in the last 5 fights and was lucky to beat clottey, clottey is close to his peak so pacman wont win so easily

[El Protagonista]

It's hard to tell because guys that have a style like Mayweather are not exactly a dime a dozen. I have that fight 50/50. I think the majority of people do. Pacquiao has amazing power and speed but he has to be able to land in order for it to be effective. Not saying that Mayweather is impossibe to hit but he's probably the hardest guy to hit and when you miss he makes you pay. Mayweather won't be as easy to hit as some of Pac's other opponents. I just don't know how Mayweather will react if and when he gets caught.

[THE REED]

Pac can be beaten... anyone can be beaten.

It will take someone with the defense, speed and abillity of Floyd Mayweather, or the Height, reach, and work output of Paul Williams, though.

Outside of those two fighters, I don't think anyone can beat him as of right now.

This is boxing and anything can happen. There is always somebody out there with you number. Pac is not unbeatable, even a hurt wore down Cotto when he got on his toes was frustrating Pac

Frustrating is another thing to winning.

Getting on your toes and not engaging is getting on your bike.

As Judah said "WTF WAS COTTO DING DNACING LIKE THAT, I DIDN'T KNOW"

As for him being beaten, Floyd has the style and athletic ability.

Floyd is the only guy that is perhaps overall superior to Pac in terms of athletics and boxing know how, however Pac is improving (apart from his speed) while Floyd may be slipping.

Then again, Pac is the cloest athletically to Floyd that has the tools to cope with his stamina and footwork, and his power and accuracy seems to be better with his current body at 147.

This fight needs to be amde or when I'm 60, I'll still tell my gran children the best never fought each other.

Pac is a great fighter, he does not *** around! Once you sign to fight Pac you better be ready for a fight. I don't see him losing anytime soon.

That is why we see the fight in the ring because these are actually legit points that both of you have brought up. And kudos to both of you.

The sport of boxing can be talked about, discussed to death and impose intellectual/scientific argumentations. But in the ring, those can easily be deterred by a simple hit.

A master boxer can also be defeated by a well-timed super punch whereas a an average boxer can be defeated by a master boxer almost every time.

The thing is that both boxers have attributes, their personalities, their tendencies and "luck" or karma that can turn a fight into the FIGHT FOR THE AGES or simply, a boring fight.

Anything can happen. Such is life and the sport of boxing.

That's why it is so exciting.

I would love to see Mayweather's masterful footwork, shoulder roll, fades and angling to Pacquiao's volume/flush punches, footwork, strength and stamina.

Or the other way around.

It could be an offensive output of Mayweather (to reverse a trend) to test Pacquiao's seemingly porous defense.

What would it be? Would it be a combination of both or Pacquiao exclusively on the hunt for the big punches to land while Mayweather defends at ease? Would it be a quick fight or a laborious and strategic fight for Mayweather? Would it be an easy fight after all for Pacquiao after landing a big straight left?

See these things are obviously POSSIBLE. And for me, it could be a boring fight as well....who knows!

At least we could all be civil about it.

Floyd outpoints Pacquiao fairly simply in my estimation, but Shane would beat Pac like a dog Im telling you. Roach knows why they don't wanna fight Shane, flat out Shane would punish that boy cause Pac always wants to go toe to toe, and you can't beat Shane like that period, especially if you are smaller than him. I stick to guns on that one.

Styles that beat Pacquiao, 1. counterpunchers, 2. fighters with big right hands. You notice he only does well against converted southpaws??? Cotto, DLH, Hatton, Diaz, etc. we saw what JMM was able to do twice, and we saw what a war torn Morales was able to do to him, so lets be real. Anybody can be beaten

[xxxboxfrank]

A great jab and footwork, accuracy, and angles will beat pac man

great jab and footwork would be nice to have but a good right hand beats Pacquiao anyday, hence Shane would commence to beating him like a dog....I'm telling you. Thats why Freddie wanted to make him come down to 140. Shane said he'd do 140 and take 40/60 to fight Pac and they turned THAT down smh.
