    Pacquiao would have given Mayweather hell at 130

    I know mayweather at 130 could one of the greatest boxers of all time

    but Pacquiao at featherweight had all the things that would have given him trouble. He's a southpaw, he had a strong fast jab, the conditioning to stay with mayweather, and the chin to keep boxing with mayweather.

    There's no way he could beat mayweather on the inside, but i think the way pacquiao could beat him was to box but outwork him. Keep the jab and straight left constantly on his face every minute for 12 rounds.

    i'm not saying pacquiao would beat him but he would have given him a lot of trouble.

    I'm not saying who would win but it would have been a fight.
    yes it would have been a one sided beat down coming from Floyd, a fight none the less..

          Mayweather moved better, boxed better and had good power at 130. He would have made Pacquiao more tentative to throw a punch after 4-5 rounds. Pacquiao has always been very open and a gif to a good counter puncher.

          I agree it would be a good fight but not a tough fight.

            The title should be could Floyd have given Pac a good workout at 130, or Pacs hardest fight at 130 if your being generous to Floyd?

                FAWK NO! Pacquiao's best chance was at 147...where he still gets beat.

                Mayweather at 130 knocks Pacquiao out within 8 rounds, if fate is merciful. At 130, we're looking at defense, heavy single shot power, combinations, better movement and a deeper hunger.

                    The only way to beat mayweather is to outwork him, and keep pressure on instead of letting him take control of the fight.

                    You guys are acting like it was easy to take control of a fight back when manny was a monster.

                    Watch more of his fights.
