Pacquiao would have given Mayweather hell at 130

[i_am_a_champ]

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.

At 130lbs Floyd would give pac a worse beating than at 147lbs.
Floyd was an absolute demon at that weight class.


This is comming from a boxing fan.

Floyds footspeed was tremendous. His leaping left hooks would trouble pac so much. He could close distance lightening fast.

His evasive footwork was lightening fast. I know pac is fast too but at 130lbs i find it ludicrous that pac would find floyd easily. he would have a damn hard job.

He was a much more aggressive fighter at 130lbs.

His straight rights ( with a whole lot more pop behind them at that weight ) would trouble pac all night long.

He would have more than enough power behind his shots to make pac respect him.



at 130lbs floyd stops pac, toys with pac, vintage pretty boy style. That floyd back then was a demon in the ring.




Pacs best chance to beat him is at : 147lbs , right now.

If he fights a fight where he can get floyd on the ropes, plant his feet , let off quick powerful combos ( with out getting tied up by floyd ) , switch his angles, and GET OUT of RANGE, then i think he can do it maybe.

combo punching nuetralises counter punching.

But floyd isnt just any counter puncher. Manny could have to be tight as hell.

at 147lbs if they ever fight, floyd wins. Too smart, too quick, too sharp.

At 130lbs, floyd would have give pac a solid beating

if you look at Mayweather's competition at 130, it is not all that great. Corrales was good but not ready for mayweather's awesomeness plus he was totally weight drained. Morales's loss to Raheem was mainly because he underestimated Raheem and also cuz he was drinking tequila until like 2 am the night before. Morales was not washed up at that time, he was just being an idiot. After the 1st Morales fight, Pacman got much better and that is the time when he may have beaten Floyd at 130.

lmao clearly someone who has no clue what they are talking about. care to expose your lack of knowledge some more??

floyd beats the dog shyt out of pac at 130.

absolute domination over pacquiao. he'd have to pray that floyd's hands break to even have a chance.

if not it's a beating worse than gatti cause pacquiao doesn't even know how to cover up, specially at that weight. there would be no trading shots. floyd would drop bombs then be on the other side of the ring. go watch the chico fight.

Wish this had a poll

So a more limited version of Pacquiao would have given Mayweather hell? No

I'll admit that limited version fought more competitively against Marquez, against Floyd I don't see Manny having much success at 130.

Joke thread.

The TS argument is by far the worst of the year.

Dude was literally teleporting DBZ style on Chico.

Naw. At 130 Mayweather would have ko'd Pac. Pacs best odds against May were 09-10 at welter.

I think this fight at 140 would have been great.
