Remember When Pacquaio Having A Chance Against Mayweather was Actually A Thing??

[Erratic415]

I think a fight in 2010 would have gone similar, but on a faster pace, better fight, better for the sport.

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

2008-2011 Pac-man was walking through any punch and giving nikkas rapid fire combinations from every angle...he was a monster

that manny was more offensively gifted than Floyd

and yet he still lost to Marquez twice and got gift victories to the point where Marquez had to come to the ring looking like he was trying to hit 73 home runs so he wouldn't get robbed again.

Only lost to Marquez once out the 4 times.. People always cry robbery and call decisions gifts when the favorite to win is in a close fight..

That's how stalling an opponent out works
By the time happened even Manny stans figured he wasn't going win and Manny was fully in the midst of his no knock out streak at that point
The Manny that was running thru Cotto damn near 7 years before was the one ppl hyped to beat Floyd

So if 38 year old version of Floyd damn near blanked him, the younger version would have been the same or worse for Emmanuel......ask Marquez.

Pac-man is Filipino breh, hispanics don't fukk with him like that.

In Texas they do. They love him

The trajectory of their careers and the damage took during the early 2010s is completely different
Floyd would have still probably won but the version of Manny was obviously better then. Floyd Sr himself said that boy was looking scary to them

Name the fight in the early 2010's that Manny sustained "damage"? Clottey literally was a punching bag, Margarito and Shane didn't do anything to him, and he fought a bunch of light hitting or former 135 pounders like Bradley, JMM, Rios, and Algieri before he fought Floyd. Floyd on the other hand had to deal with a game Cotto and TWO fights with hard hitting Maidana right before he fought Pac.

And miss me with that nonsense about Sr saying Floyd was fighting scared. That was just Sr's ego. There's literally nothing in their career's that would suggest the fight would've been close at any period. The way both dealt with JMM should have been all the indication you need to know they were on two different levels.

was in 2012 so thanks for proving my point. People were immediately questioning if Manny would be the same after that. You don't even believe the words that came out the mouths of the people closest to Floyd so no point in me going back and forth forever

Hahaha.....that's literally from maybe the 2nd significant punch JMM landed the entire fight. Manny was landing like 50% of his power punches and had JMM looking bummy before walking into ONE punch. In the words of the late great Roger Mayweather....."you don't know shyt about boxing."

the thing thats easy to trace and you need to watch are his 4 fights with marquez.
they happened at 4 diffeeent stages of his career but he had extreme difficulty in each fight.

thats because marquez used his boxing skills, count punching, and distance to slow pacquaio down.

so it doesnt matter if they fought in the early 2010s, because floyd is marquez times 10 with a size advantage and a better jab. pacquaio woulda had da same troubles and it would of been worse cause he wouldnt be fighting a 38 year old.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Anyone who watched those JMM fights knew Pac never stood more than a punchers chance against Floyd...

Styles make fights and JMM was essentially a Mexican Floyd light who had to take more chances because he's slower...

 

[Reggie]

Floyd can say what he wants in retrospect just like some of the fans but Manny in 2009 up until around the Margarito fight would have given Floyd straight hell. Floyd struggled with Jose Luis Castillo and later with Maidana so it's not a stretch to think a similar fighter with superior skills would have made him struggle as well.
