    I think this thread has been done in the past, perhaps even by me, but if it was, it was a long time ago. And if you thought it was a stupid thread then, well I suppose you'll find it stupid today. Nevertheless, for each of the following fighters, name a species of animal that you think most closely emobodies his style of fighting, temperment and physical attributes - inside the ring (e.g. don't worry about trying to come up with a species that is anti-social and disruptive to its civilization the way PBF is to his).

    1. Pacquiao: Ratel (Honey Badger) - rated in the Guiness Book of World Records as the most fierce animal on the planet. Is small yet fearless; overwhelms its enemies with chaotic violence using razor claws and strong jaws.

    This thread is good in premise but has the potential to degenerate when the resident racists get involved.

    A certain Aussie (wont mention his name right now) would probably label all African American fighters as Gorillas for example.

    Anyway...

    Pacquiao = Wolverine (Ferocity cannot be matched)
    Mayweather = Mongoose (Counterpuncher - extraordinaire)
    Vitali = Polar Bear (Largest Land Carnivore)
    Tua = Elephant (no explanation necessary)
    Wlad = Siberian Tiger (Handsome but deadly, one of the largest predators)
    Hopkins = Leopard (Black Panther to be more precise)

    Roy Jones (Prime) = Cheetah (no one could match his speed)
    Roy Jones (Past Prime) = Chihuahua (no one could NOT knock him out)

    Mayweather is a snake --- only needing to, "feed," once a year or so, and never shy about biting the hand which feeds him.

    Pacquiao is a rabbit around needles (scared).

    Evander Holyfield is a rabbit (in terms of breeding).
