Also wasn't as smart, as good defensively, and was matched in speed and power (if not outgunned).
      why do you bother when you never get a prediction right?

      hopkins isn't beating pacquiao if they are the same size, just look at the styles

      a young hopkins will get battered although he'll put up a nice struggle in a very entertaining fight

      a savvy, negative, spoiler hopkins gets beaten every round with the same strategy calzaghe used on hopkins late(use his fast feet to keep the distance from hopkins as he attempts his punch-headbutt-clinch combo), except pacquiao is alot more accurate, and hits alot harder

      look at what pacquiao did to bradley when tim tried that head-down bullrush sht

        I see Hopkins struggling with the volume punching and speed of Pac.

          Pac is tiny. If he was 6feet, he would be scary. He would beat BH. BH in his prime wasn't known to be scary. Rather he hasn't deteriorated much as a 49 year old or whatever age he is now.

          If Pac was floyds size 5ft8 and naturally a WW, Floyd wouldn't even dare take Pac as his 5oth fight.

              So now every fast fighter fights exactly the same and every counter puncher fights exactly the same.

              Seriously, think about it before you post it.
              If you were smart you would know what I'm talking about but since your ****** I'll tell you he would box his ears off got it ?

                Hopkins has turtle shell defense tho....

                      Not throughout, Pac suffered KD and KO early and late in his career, and out of his prime if we consider Pac was prime from 2000 to 2010.

                      Roy's speed was unmatchable, that's why he never was hurt.
                      I think Roy always was chinny.

                      And to be fair, Pacquiao is related to PEDS because of accusations, unlike Roy who, in his case really failed a drug test in his career.

                      F Roy's speed. One attribute doesn't beat a great fighter like Manny. What we didn't know about Roy when he was in his prime, was he had a glass jaw. Manny would KO Roy Jones. And the only reason he was never hurt during his prime, is because he ducked his biggest challenges. He fought a lot of Cab drivers, Policemen, Firefighters, etc. He may be the fastest fighter, ever but SO WHAT!!!!!!!!
