LOL, so you people see Pacquiao destroy a 36 year old guy with cero head movement and that makes you think he would beat PBF?? PBF vs Pacman would be just like his fight against Hatton, except he would now also be the bigger fighter.


On a side note, anyone watch that old dude interview DLH after the fight??? He was bashing him basically, probably the least professional interview I've ever seen. Compare that to the way Rogan interviews fighters that lose, thats how it should be done.

I agree, Pac beat DLH mainly because of his speed, which would not be an advantage against Floyd. Floyd is not only fast as hell, but also extremely skilled. The only way Pac wins that fight is if they do it in 5 years when Floyd is old and past his prime.
I do think Manny would do better than Hatton even though he's not as big.

Hold on there shooter. I'm pretty sure all we said was we wanted to see the fight. We said nothing about Manny winning.

I give Mayweather a slight edge in the fight. Pacquiao has trouble with technical, slick boxers (Marquez). But to say it will be another Mayweather/Hatton isn't close. Hatton's speed isnt comparable to Pac's. Mayweather used straight speed to keep Hatton from effectively pressuring him. That wont consistently work against Pac. He is quick enough to get inside on Mayweather from time to time and land punches. He's obviously not struggling with power at 147. There is a serious possibility of trouble for Floyd.

And we're just hopeful someone will finally shut that motherfucker's mouth.

Hahahahahahahaha....Pacquiao was compared to Hatton? That's straight blasphemy and disrespectful to Pacquiao. Hatton is a one dimensional bully fighter who made a living working over clowns in England, was given a gift decision, then beat a very aged Jose Luis Castillo to earn a shot at PBF. Pacquiao has head movement, way more speed, tons of power, and puts effective pressure on his opponents instead of holding and hitting or vice versa like Hatton did.

Ok I misspoke there, I didn't mean Pac would get destroyed in the way Hatton did, I meant the game plan for PBF would be the same he used on Hatton, and in all probability it will work.

And yea, I also want to see preety boy get destroyed.

Not true. I think Pacman doesn't have the power he had in the lower weight classes. If he did, DLH wouldn't have been able to quit in his seat he would have been KO'd. That was the most flush hits I've ever seen Pacman land on anyone and they still keep standing.

Also, because of DLH not throwing any punches in the last 2 rounds, I'm not totally ruling out a DLH actually passing the torch a little bit voluntarily.

Please don't flame me!~ lol

Haha You know I love you too much to flame you Harlem. To a certain extent you may be right. Manny may not have the same KO power he had at the lower weight, but there is no question he has transferred enough power to do some serious damage. When was the last time you saw Oscar’s face look like that? Plus Oscar has a fairly solid chin. A lot of times you’ll see boxers step up into higher weight classes and they completely leave their power behind. Opponents can simply walk through their punches. That’s definitely not the case here. Anyone who fights Pac at 147 is going to have to respect his power.

As for the Golden Boy passing the torch voluntarily, I just don’t think so. Pac had literally beaten him down. He wasn’t throwing because Pacquiao had taken the fight out of him. And let’s not forget, this is the same DLH that fought Mayweather to a split decision just 18 months ago. How much could he have actually deteriorated in 18 months?

Mayweather Sr. on Pacquaio

Despite his expected biases against Manny Pacquiao, American trainer Floyd Mayweather, Sr. concedes the Pacman is the Man at the moment when it comes to talking about the Filipino icon’s next fight.

This was what Mayweather, Sr. said when interviewed by the daily morning radio show “Sports Chat” heard over Sports Radio 918 in the Philippines recently.

“Manny is the man right now. It all depends on who he chooses - if it's Ricky (Hatton) or Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.). Of course whoever makes more money for him, that's who Pacquiao will choose. But whoever he chooses between the two, they just need to be ready to fight,” Mayweather told the show hosted by this writer.

Asked about his assessment about the recent loss of his former ward Oscar De La Hoya to Pacquiao last weekend, Mayweather said De La Hoya worked with the wrong people in his corner.

“Myself personally, I don’t know what it was but I would have to say I would put a big blame on his camp. Oscar should be training with me and they don’t train nothing like me,” said Mayweather.

“I’m gonna say it right here, it wasn’t a good performance for him at all. But I think if he fought with me it would have been a different fight altogether.”

De La Hoya had a much-ballyhooed training team led by legends Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain and Angelo Dundee.

Mayweather added that if ever De La Hoya fights again and aims to get his redemption, a rematch with Pacquiao is his only way for payback.

“If you don’t want to comeback and redeem himself against Manny Pacquiao he must retire. All he would ever be known for is losing to a much, much, much smaller man, forever,” said Mayweather.

Mayweather also confirmed a report that his son Floyd, Jr. tried to contact him and that the currently retired former pound-for-pound king is set to unretire and fight Pacquiao.

Mayweather is also the trainer of another potential Pacquiao foe Ricky Hatton who was at ringside in seeing Pacquiao dismantle De La Hoya.

This is my point. DLH has arguably fought bigger and better fighters.

I mean come on? Shane Mosley, PBF, Prime Felix Trinidad, an older but extremely fast Pernell Whitaker, and a host of quality game fighters and never in the history of Boxing have I ever seen him stop punching and quit on the stool.

Pacman is great, but I'm not convinced he can hang in there with a prime Mosley, Trinidad, and PBF and DLH has arguably beaten all of these fighters. IMO DLH won the second SSM fight.

It just doesn't make sense man
