Manny Pacquiao vs Bernard Hopkins if they were the same size?

[therealpugilist]

Pac by outworking him, What the Calzaghe fight, and Pac is a more crisper combo puncher than cal slappy who is an outworking southpaw and he gave Hopkins a lot of trouble from his work rate alone. Kovalev basically used the same strategy that a post KO Pac used, throw some punches when the guy goes in the corner to bait you and get right out so he can't sneak counter.

Hopkins relies too much on sneak countering, Pac would just step to his side, he is a flat foot guy who mainly circles you, in order to really beat up Pac you gotta have some bounce in your step or throw a lot.

Hopkins sneak right hand would KO Pac, but Pac will not hurt Hopkins, Hopkins chin as seen in the Kovalev fight is iron.

Hopkins even said Pacquiao would give him a harder fight than Floyd would. If its a KO hopkins, if its decision Pacquiao.

great post and assessment


I don't see a ko either way.....Hopkins was a sharp puncher but he didn't have many one punch kayos even at middleweight and his defense was too tight and chin too good to be kayo'ed by Manny

Pacquiao by decision.....

Manny would outwork him. Hopkin's has never seen anything like Manny before. He would also be too slow for Manny. Easy fight for Manny. SK and JC showed us how you beat Hopkin's, in two different ways. Ward, without a tune-up would lose to SK. with a tune-up, he has a better chance. Hopkin's cannot handle activity, or a smart fighter who will not follow him, recklessly.

A middleweight or light heavyweight Pacquiao with about the same speed, power and footwork would annihilate anyone that blocks his path.

Hop couldn't even beat Roy Jones Jr. Puhlease.

as if pacquiao is better than a prime roy jones. this site is complete **** because of poochiao fans.

Proportionally, if you created larger and larger clones of Pacquiao for higher weight divisions, he would annihilate everyone from Ward all the way up to Klitschko.

A 225 lb. Pacquiao is the stuff of nightmares.

Only Tyson might touch him.

Manny would ice him, look at what kovalev did to hopkins with just a 1,2 and some distance lol.

is it just me? but NSB is the only site I visit that someone will lead a poll and none of the people explain their pick....Pac fanatics do this all the time



All the people picking Hopkins give a reason why



Manny Pacquaio has to be the most beloved fighter in history.....if it was a poll that asked if he was better than any fighter or beat them, he'd win on Non Stop Boxing 10/10


Most people who pick Pacquaio pick off emotion....the real boxing fans like me thinks he wins some and loses some like everyone else

i pick pac and i don't feel the need to explain the obvious.

[GOD-FR33]

Nope........

Only Tyson might touch him.

Nope. He'd get KO'ed too. Why? Because he cracks when pushed back. Manny is too tough for him.

Pacquaio wins a decision

Pacquiao's speed would give Hopkins fits but I don't think Pacquiao would stop him if they were the same size.
