Pacquiao would have given Mayweather hell at 130

[sammiza567]

nooooo way in hell pac wins at 130. imagine what floyd would have done to mab/morales/jmm at 130. he would have run through pac. he had serious power and combinations at 130. now he just popshots most of the time.

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

Yes .......this

this should go on floyd's tombstone when he dies. it's his theme. his motto.

put Flod and Manny in the same sentence and you'll find words like..could've, should've, would've, probably, if and the most used term when talking Floyd and Manny is "I think"....these words have to be in the same sentence when talking about them because they ill never share the same ring...same sentences all day though...smh

[Atreyu Khalil]

PAC can't even convincingly defeat jmm in 3 fights, in 3 different weight classes over the span of 8 years and I'm supposed to believe he could ever defeat Floyd mayweather jr?? Floyd made jmm look like a scrub and humiliated him with pure boxing skill!! Floyd could've easily walked him down and punished jmm like he did the much stronger, bigger and faster Shane Mosley but he put on an excellent display of skill. Jmm was p4p #2 at the time. Nobody can bring up the rise in weight because he jumped 2 weight classes to fight PAC last year and outclassed manny. Jmm only 2 fights at ww was vs Floyd and manny and he was dominated by mayweather who came off a 19 month layoff then 2 years later and 2 years older he whoops Mannys ass at 147 so nobody can bring up the weight jump.

very good post

[thepower]

It would have been a very good fight to watch, but there would only have ever been one winner in my opinion - Mayweather.

Pbf would have battered and knocked out morales IMO

This is the thing with floyd fans, they claim Floyd coulda, woulda, but reality is Floyd never does.

Common opponnets between Pac and Floyd it is Pac doing the business not Floyd, so why should we all of a sudden believe Floyd would destroy Morales? Thats a big ask!

Pac beat Morales, Floyd has yet to prove he can. Floyd has to beat Morales to prove he is a candidate to be victorious over Pac.

[hugh grant]

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.

Exactly, i think Floyd fans get carried away with Floyd looking great at 130 against limited opposition, and its easy to look special against overated competion. Against common opponnents with Pac he isnt looking that great thats for sure its no coincidence.

And yes Morales did underestimate raheem and wasnt past it when pac beat morales. Morales was very experienced when he fought Pac. Morales is still fighting today and doing well so no one believes Morales was past it, not even Floyd fans.

But no one underestimates Pac, and Morales was up for Pac. Floyd has to beat Morales to be even considered a candidate to beat Pac. Floyd hasnt got off first base yet, hasnt even achieved triangle theory yet.
Thats why Floyd fans are sickening, i think they try wind people up intentionally.

Experience was never an issue with Mayweather, he won the WBC SFW title within two years, and beat Genaro Hernandez. Mayweather at 130 was unbeatable. You take the Mayweather that knocked out Angel Manfredy in two rounds vs Manny Pacquiao who beat Morales for the third time. Mayweather would beat him for sure.

That's all true, but Mayweather was still more offensive, which would give Pac his best chance for a knockout. Again, I don't think Pacquiao's best chance to beat Floyd would be 130, but it would be his best chance for a knockout. 140 would be the weight I'd pick Pac to beat Floyd at.
