Manny Pacquiao Might Fight Golovkin

[Viscore]

Hopefully this match can be realized, I am among those who always follow every match Manny Pacquiao.

I'm looking forward for this fight to realized always, at least we will see a good fight before Manny will retire.
This fight IMHO is undoubtedly going to be one of the best fights of Manny in his career, he is going to face a caliber boxer here which what he wants to engage.

GGG is like a raging bull which is fit for the style of Manny, he like a fighter that would fight him toe to toe and GGG would give him that anytime.
If we say the last fight of Manny, there are rounds in the fight that Manny has struggled when he is pressurd and I think GGG is bigger and stronger than Thurman, so this is definitely an interesting fight.

If there's a rematch between the two, Mayweather would still remain the favorite of the fight, despite being inactive for awhile now, that's unquestionable.

We're not sure about that . For sure his charisma to the audience is decreasing, because like what you've said, he doesn't have a fight for quite a long time. While on the other hand, Manny keeps on building his legacy which ables him to attracts more supporters. But to be honest, if they will have a rematch in the future I'm still not sure whether Manny can take his revenge. Mayweather's Shoulder Roll seems impenetrable.

Indeed and I believe he can defy this odds. I think Manny should use to GGG the technique he used to beat Margarito before because they almost got the same height. His speed could be his trump card as we know that he got the reach disadvantage .

As for me, I believe it will still be one of the big payday of Pacman once the game is on for the rematch.
Mayweather as an undefeated and one of the best boxer in the history of sports will still able to sell a fight, man, they know how to hype a fight, and based on personal experience, I've said many times in the past that I would not watch Mayweather's fight again as it's boring but I still end up watching it, for sure some people can relate to my experience, and just to prove my confidence on the fight, I'll bet with you that it's gonna be a big payday fight for both.

Yeah that's right. If you will ask me, I will choose Many Pacman Pacquiao not just because he is my fellow Filipino men but because I know he can win this fight because nothing is impossible for him and he will fight for his belt as long as he can.

Just want to add one point. Even if this fight goes ahead (despite the huge gap in weight), don't expect any fireworks from either of the two. Both the fighters are well past their fame and I strongly suspect that they are trying to earn a few million USD, to boost their retirement savings. Unlike the case with their previous fights, both GGG and Manny don't hold any bad blood against each other.

[asu]

...

If this fight happen, who is your bet?

Both professional boxer.
Both absolutely still an explosive boxer.
Both last fight won.

It would be hard to say for now and I wonder who's odd will favor.

The fight would be awesome if it happen.

@Vishnu.Reang I don’t think that this match will actually take place this year, because Manny suddenly can’t weight up to match Golovkin weights, and the only way this match can take place is if both agree to a middle weight match, but again the possibility of this is less. Furthermore Golovkin has his trilogy matches to complete against Canelo, hence he’ll focus more on those matches, but if anyone has any confirmation about this match do post below because I couldn’t find anything about it online.

When the two professional boxers fight in one ring it will be difficult to make a choice, I'm sure you have the name of choice for betting, my choice is Manny Pacquiao because of the right punch and accuracy and really likes his fighting style that never gives up.

Oh.. OK.. For a moment I forgot about Golovkin's 3rd fight versus Canelo. I watched both the matches where GGG fought against Canelo (online live streaming), and in both cases I lost some amount betting for GGG. There was a lot of controversy surrounding the results. GGG was at the receiving end due to biased scoring (especially by Adalaide Byrd during the first one), and he will be looking to extract revenge.

[serjent05]

As a Filipino, I hope Manny wins the fight if ever the fight plan materialized.  But as we all know, a fight between two great boxers is unpredictable.  So I think the one who has a much better assessment of his opponent will win.  But in case Golovkin has to lose weight to fight Manny, I think Manny will have a little advantage over Golovkin but that is not an assurance of victory for Manny of course.

What do you think about this fight, Manny seems like to break his current record to be the ninth division champion.

At the age of 41, Roach said Pacquiao could be eyeing a title in a record ninth division against one of boxing’s all-time great middleweights.

If this fight happen, who is your bet?

I know Manny is old and not young anymore, but I see Manny is a hard worker, of course, I will choose to bet for Manny's victory if this fight happens

[Twentyonepaylots]

...

If this fight happen, who is your bet?

Both professional boxer.
Both absolutely still an explosive boxer.
Both last fight won.

How about you consider that Manny Pacquiao is the only 8 world division champion? What I'm afraid for Pacquiao is his speed, his last fight I notice that he is not speed as he was 3 to 4 years ago maybe that's one of factor to consider also but it's middleweight and triple G is not that quick also in the ring, all he got is a power punches which I think Pacquiao could easily dodge and hold, he fought Thurman which is a lot taller than him, triple G is thicker in body size so we'll really see if this happens.

It would be hard to say for now and I wonder who's odd will favor.

They both in not ideal age for boxing, that's what I think so I'm just basing my favor for who has the most experience in boxing, most number of main event fights ( handling pressure from crowd ) Still Manny Pacquiao for me.

Manny is not as fast as he was in the past since he has already aged, but if you look at his recent fights where he won, you can see the maturity, he is not as aggressive as he was before but he is smarter now because his defense has improve a lot. He knows how to win a fight and that is the most important for any boxer.

There will be no heavy favorite in this fight as this is more like an even fight, like a Thurman vs Pacman fight.
We can take a look on his previous fight odds.

[Yaunfitda]

I'm one of those who voted that GGG will win. I'm a big Manny Pacquaio fan, but here is my reasoning.

First, GGG is too big for Pacquiao as Manny says. He fought Margarito at a catch-weight, and then Margarito rehydrated to 170++ lbs if my memory serves me right. And for me that fight really 'soften' Manny. He received a lot of body punches that time and Manny admitted that he was really hurt during that rounds. So think of GGG, one of the best body punchers out there could do to Manny.

Second, Pacquaio is almost on the downside of his career. It's hard to accept that fact but sooner or later he will face a boxer that could retire him and it's possible that it could be GGG.

Not unless that Roach saw something in GGG that he seen from Oscar, "he can't pull the trigger anymore". But I think GGG still has something in his tank.

You cant really say he hasnt something on his tank and with this kind of stats?


Do you really think that we would see him without giving a fight? With that KO percentage 83.33%
I would say that this shouldnt really be taken easily by Pacquiao and also he should be ready on
strengthening his lower body even more as we can see with one of GG explosives which are mostly on
solid body shots.

If you see GGG during his last fight, he struggles against Sergiy Derevyanchenko. Everyone says that GGG will win by a KO but it didn't happen and he was in trouble in that last fight. That's why perhaps Roach see something that we didn't see. The same thing he did saw in Oscar that's why they fight him and won.

However, I still believed that GGG can still pull the trigger and even if Pacquaio strengthens his lower body, it won't help him as GGG is too big for him.

We can translate that odds to ;

1.70 Pacquiao
2.1 for Thurman

If this is going to be the same betting odds for GGG vs Pacquiao, I'll take Manny even if he is favored.

Yeah, I know Manny Pacquiao very well (coz I am Filipino). By looking at MP last fight (January 2019), that gives us more insight about his current capability.

GGG won at Sergiy Derevyanchenko at 114-113 score (close fight), but GGG struggled to win the fight. Looking at it, Manny Pacquiao can still (probably) dominate the fight if he is still in the same condition against his last fight K. Thurman.

I agree with you here, this fight won't happen as they may be problem on what weight they would meet and basing on the article, GGG won't go south of 160 lbs and for Manny to fight at that weight is a suicide, besides there are now talks that the later would fight Crawford. This would be less dangerous for Pacquiao but still a dangerous one for him.

One of the main reasons it took so long for Golovkin and Canelo to face off in their blockbuster showdown was due to the former's reluctance to meet at a catch-weight in between the middleweight and super-welterweight limit.

GGG has also in the past turned down fights at 168lbs and always insisted that he is comfortable fighting at middleweight. So, any chances of them meeting below 160lbs is virtually off the table.

I'm not sure if Manny can make this fight because of adjustment and also the age difference things that very important advantage of each boxer.

No doubt that Manny is Fit and can fight but the chances of winning is not on His side here,I admire Pacquiao from the beginning of His career,from Non Pro in local tv station until now,but i have doubt in this one though i will still bet for him with small amount of course.

Nice stats mate,i have not looked on that part thats why i doubt this fight but yeah lets see what will be the outcome of the fight.

Still Manny Pacquiao will be our Peoples Champ.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

We all know Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighter of all time, but I can't really say if Manny can win this fight because of the huge age difference to Golovkin. After Manny defeated Thurman he proves that age doesn't matter in boxing because he defeat it fair and square, so let's see if Manny has a chance to defeat Golovkin who also a great boxer.

[Botnake]

We all know Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighter of all time, but I can't really say if Manny can win this fight because of the huge age difference to Golovkin.

Huge? Not so huge man.

Manny is 41 years old while Golovkin is already 38 years old, a 3 years gap is not huge.
The real definition of huge age gap was the fight between, Manny vs Thurman (31 years old) and Manny vs Adrien Broner (30 years old).

And Manny both won his lat two fights against younger opponent.

After Manny defeated Thurman he proves that age doesn't matter in boxing because he defeat it fair and square, so let's see if Manny has a chance to defeat Golovkin who also a great boxer.

He beat a younger fighter so he can beat Golovkin which is older than Thurman, but it's not about the age now, it's the size of Golovkin.
