Could Manny Pacquiao beat Felix Sturm?

[Weebler I]

Say at 157lbs like Cotto-Martinez is rumored.

Would Pacquiao have enough to beat an older Sturm who recently became champ once again?

how old is he

[Jloro]

lol no he could have maybe beat the barker sturm beat though

[Weebler I]

how old is he

35, but he's well past the version Oscar fought. Not saying Pacquiao could beat him, just seeing how others view it.

no manny cant take a middle weights punch

Sturm would knock him into the 3rd row. Manny said himself he had a hard time taking Margarito's punches at 150 because of the weight. A skilled MW like Sturm would kill him.

Likely true, although it should be noted that Sturm isn't a big punching MW, he has a 40% KO record. He tends to cover up Clottey-style when getting hit too.

An equally interesting question is whether Mayweather could beat Sturm today.

[Left Hook Tua]

don't know. delahoya couldn't.

[Spray_resistant]

I would favor Felix, and he isn't the biggest MW puncher but he has some pop enough to ko Manny for sure because of the huge size difference.

[Triumph 916]

Basically a bigger better version of Clotty...the size difference would be too much, Manny gets stopped.
