If you could take boxing lessons from either Pac or Mayweather, who would you choose?

pac is more mentally sound. i'd pick him instead of the master boxer.

Pac is more mentally sound? You think Pac has a higher boxing IQ than Floyd?

floyd, i love his style and contrary to popular belief, those who have spent time around him overwhelmingly describe him as being a friendly,. helpful guy. and this is the boxing circle, and not no silly espn/tmz reports.

I don't doubt that this might be true. Mayweather comes off as a jerk in some ways, but he might be great in others. Some people have very grating personalities, but they can't help themselves. On occasion, they're decent people.

Public personas and "news" reports don't tell the whole story. You can't draw a reliable picture of a celebrity from a distance.

This doesn't surprise me, and it plays into my answer. Besides having undeniable gifts, Mayweather is obviously well-schooled. He's very technically precise. Every now and then, he does things that only his talent allows; but, by and large, he sticks to a very sound style.

Pacquiao, by contrast, relies much more on his God-given ability. The things Manny does, he does mainly by virtue of his talent. How do you teach anyone that? I remember Prince Naseem making a comment in a video about how he (Hamed) really only learned some of the basics in the gym and took it from there. The same can probably be said about Pac.

Being a great athlete doesn't necessarily make you a great teacher, but I think Floyd is more likely to impart useful skills to the average guy.

Well said man

That's one thing I noticed about Floyd, usually when someone gets tagged cleanly he looks to retaliate, with Floyd it's as if he never got hit. I also noticed this with Salvador Sanchez as well.

Floyd can be a dumb ass in cameras outside of the ring, but inside the ring he's as smart, patient, and classy as they come. He never let's any foul moves/hard punch get this head and get him off his gameplan.

Well said man

Thank you, sir.

Agreed. Mayweather is deadly serious about his craft. He's the consummate professional inside the gym and in the ring. Outside those arenas is where Floyd has a little trouble.

Floyd........

I think that's simple you can teach skill, and technique which Mayweather is the master of. Plus I'm a right handed fighter. You can't teach pac's style which is based on repetition and physical superiority.

mayweather would teach u defense and offense. manny can just teach u how 2 beat the **** outta the other guy.

[DondiNeverLeft]

No doubt Floyd.
Anyone can PED up.
