      I like Pacquiao, but top p4p fighters last fights should not be them getting KTFO.
      I see people lowering fighters for unimpressive wins.

        He probably has a better chance than anyone still, he is basically the same from 3 years ago but people let dominating wins over lesser fighters distort things.

        The fight probably won't ever happen and I would favor Floyd if it did though Pac is being seriously underrated because of the ko loss.

        He has an aggressive style with liabilities and he simply got caught flush while leaping forward into a punch.

            pac would have to win this one on the cards ... and i dont see that happening
            He knocked down Mosley, the same Mosley that Floyd and Canelo couldn't KD.

            He also TKO'd Oscar on his debut to WW and Cotto for his first championship fight at WW.

Pacquiao has also shown repeatedly to be wide open for right hands at certain points in his attack and that you can force him to reset again and again (Marquez III and the last 3 rounds of Bradley). How long before Floyd would figure that out? 4 rounds at most? A little movement and timing can nullify Pac in recent years, so even a second Bradley fight would be dangerous for Pac. Throw Floyd's handspeed and reflexes into the mix and it is suicide watch in Pacland.
              Be the best four rounds ever. I remember Zab giving Floyd s few fits for the first 4 rounds but of course he was figured out and soundly beaten. I wonder if Zab had better conditioning and used his jab more would he had been successful for a while longer.

                    This is obvious and has been obvious for the past 4 years for anyone that has half a brain cell.

                      Margarito has huge reach and height advantage and he ripped him to shreds....it's ok for you to apply triangle theories when it comes to Pac but dare to do it with Floyd and all his stans cry

                      Stop the triangle theories dude, people talk like Marquez simply potshotted Manny all day long.

                      Marquez was willing to take one to give one, he didn't just potshot him and he got outlanded in the third fight which I thought was very close and could have gone either way.
