Pacquiao's chances of knocking Floyd down?

[J The UnBiased]

I am not trying to disrespect Manny, but I never viewed this as a competitive matchup. Everyone always say's that Floyd takes easy fights and I always thought that Pacquiao would have been the easiest he's ever had to face. 12 rounds to zero. There is a gigantic gap between the two when it comes to skill and IQ. An enormous gap at that. Just two totally separate classes of fighters. Do I think Manny could have knocked him down, absolutely not. But, this is boxing and anything can happen, so I still wanted to see the fight. But no, in Manny Pacquiao, I never saw a knockdown, knockout, lucky punch, good shot, or flurry as a possibility for him in this fight. Not to mention the fact that not only was he at a disadvantage in skill and IQ, but he also had no physical advantages either. Manny was going to beat a man that was not only smarter and more skilled than he is, but was also taller and had a much longer reach. I'm supposed to believe that Manny was going to win that fight? Sorry, I'm a realist.

Anything can happen in boxing. It's not impossible, but with Mayweather Sr back in Jrs corner, the chances reduce.

Mayweather controls distance so well and Pacquiao is so prone to lunging, he would give away his attacks in a heartbeat. His best chance is to try and back Mayweather up and unload a flurry to catch him with the fourth or so of five punches.

gonna be pretty tough considering PAC will probably be in his 40s if this fight happens

The chance is slim to none. Pacman is done.

The only thing Floyd will have to fear is get his face swelled up or orbital broken if they fought in their prime, the lead left would be the key the same style he used on Oscar, one punch at a time and move to the side.

But how many fighters have been able to string together a combo and land it Flush on Floyd's face?

You can land maybe one shot on Floyd at a time, he will jump out of way or grab you and than the ref breaks it up.

you have me on ignore so I'll point this out that in July 2013 Tyson said Floyd was the greatest fighter of his generation and he would beat Manny. But you knew that.

as for the thread- the same chances Bob has of building an outdoor stadium.

Pac is not dropping floyd . He couldnt knock down bradley whos a 140 fighter that came up in weight , pac would eat floyds right hand all day he would countered like theres no tomorrow , funny how pac was dropping bigger guys until he was called out for peds. Now hes lost 2 in a row . If canelo couldnt drop floyd who is way bigger an stronger then pac then pac aint doin **** to floyd . Everyone says oh the pac from 2010 or 2011 well its 2013 and hes not doing **** to floyd . Floyd from 2010 would of destroyed pac easier anyway

Pac knocks down/stuns damn near every fighter he faces. Floyd's just another one.

They said the same thing about Lucas the machine. Look how that turned out.

Canelo got a biggger punch than manny look how that turned out.

Floyd just too good of a boxer.

If JMM boxing gives Manny problems Floyds boxing will embarrass him.

Stop with the if JMM gives Manny problems Floyd will, two completely different styles of fighter. JMM had success with Manny because he lets himself in danger and trades with Manny off the back foot, Floyd covers up and pot shots, JMM never covers up he counters as his defense its why he gets hit so much. JMM strings together combos, Floyd only throws combos when a guy is cover up or its safe to do so.

The problem here is Lucas and Canelo are not greats like Manny Pacquiao. lol Pacman and Floyd are ATG's, Lucas and Nelo are just young tough guys who haven't racked up great wins against great fighters.

Lucas and Canelo are flat footed, slugger types, Canelo just stands there and throws sneak combos but doesn't pressure, and Lucas has power but many times his punches are slow and predictable.

Pacman punches from angles. And if someone trades with him he will usually stun them, hurt them or drop them.

I don't see him dropping Floyd at this stage, but maybe after Pac beat Cotto, that would have been a competitive fight.

Bradley describes Pac's punches and why they are different than other fighters.

When the inevitable finally becomes a reality, and the long overdue bout between two of the greatest boxers in our era transpires inside of a square circle. Will Pacquiao be the one to sit Floyd down on the canvas for first time in his career? What circumstances does Pacquiao have to influence that would result in the historical knockdown against the most recent version of Floyd Mayweather?

Hs chances are greater if he is on something. If not...let me put it this way.


SPLAT! Snore......heeeeeuuuuuuu....snore heeeeuuuuuu!

No one hits floyd. Hemakes everyones style look bad. There is always someone to beat floyd and then they get in there and look awful.

Not long ago it was a victory when floyd got a bloody nose. A bloody nose was a victory in a combat sport. Thats how good he is
