    Floyd coudnt even ko jmm and he didn't even honor the catch weight, while jmm was fat and flabby compared to the jmm pac fought, how is he going to ko pac. I mean look at jmm face after he schooled jmm it was clean. Look at jmm face after the last pac fight. Pac was hitting nothing but air and jmm face was all bloated pac made him look chinese. What this means floyds can hit clean but he doesn't hit hard, so how is floyd going to ko pac. Heck he kept throwing straight rights on ortiz and he kept coming at him. No way will he ko pac. He can possibly win but he won't ko pac

    If he was winning and really, really wanted to, yes. But I don't think he would, since the same dynamic applied to other past fighters, and he didn't go for it. It's not so much about ability as it is about comfort zones, and I don't think Floyd would press enough to get a stoppage.

    No, he cannot.

    But Pac can (and I believe will) KO Mayweather.

    I think its unlikely. Pacquiao will take a beating, eating counter right hands all night, but even with accumulation damage, I think Pacquiao's chin is too good. UD win for Mayweather and Pacquiao won't look too good after the fight.

    No. Pacquiao has a solid chin and Mayweather doesn't aim for the KO.

    He can if he will try hard enough. However, this strategy will also increase the probability of Pacquiao knocking him out as well.

    Therefore, since most likely Mayweather won't take that risk, all he will do is potshot Pacquiao all night and will only try to win by points.

    Now the big question is, when will they fight, or will they? :huh

    U don't back up an iron chinned Mosley and stun DLH with no power. He may wear pillows for gloves but Floyd is FAR from feather-fisted. Not only are people underrating Floyd's power but they're not thinking about his accuracy. He's the most accurate fighter now and has the best right hand in the business. Pacquiao coming in recklessly as usual would play into Mayweather's hands and he'd get lit up like a christmas tree. Of course Mayweather can ko Manny but I agree that a one-sided Floyd decision is the safest bet. Pacquiao's output WILL go down and he will continue to get countered then Floyd takes his heart. Though Mayweather has a MUCH higher chance of ko'ing Manny than vice versa based on what I just said.

    both could ko each other. doesn't have to be a brutal one punch ko either. Floyd could ko Manny with accumulation of shots or bodyshots and Im sure if Manny landed enough he could stop Floyd.

    There is many variables to which either guy could win or lose.

    Maybe they should consider fighting.

    good point but this won't be the same as all Floyds fights. Manny will come in and out with a lot speed. If he's timed i could see Pac getting ko'd.

    Could also see him getting wore down with continous straight rights all on the same part of the face for 12 rounds.

    Also could see Manny hurting and maybe stopping Floyd and wouldn't **** down my own leg if it happened.

    Nah, Maywather is very defensive in all of his fights, he needs to go all out against Pac to knock him out, which he'll never do.

    No. The only way Mayweather beats Pac is by hopping on his bike and running around the ring to a decision. Just like the only way Pac beats Mayweather is by TKO/KO, there's no way Pac can out box him.

    A late round stoppage victory for Mayweather is the most likely result if they fight.
