Why do you think Pacquiao even stands a chance of beating Mayweather?

    Its cool. Marquez took a small step back and it was a different fight. Marquez has shown the ability to hurt Pac in their second fight. Floyd sits on his punches more nowadays and has more snap. After Marquez was robbed, FLoyd would go for the KO and get it. There is a reason why PAC hasn't fought slick boxers. If you look at the caliber of styles he has fought, they are punchers and brawlers. People say PAC would be throwing lots of punches, but they are very uneducated. If they knew boxing, they'd understand that Floyd's opponents tend to have a smaller output than they normally would. PAC would be weary of Floyd and would be cautious of being countered. I personally think Khan would try and attack Floyd more because he is Brash and doesn't give a damn. There is a reason he had trouble with Marquez, because he can actually box. He has no chance against Floyd, but the fight won't happen for many factors. Personally I'm over it, but I would have made alot and I mean alot of money off of that fight. Going against Floyd is a sucker's bet and believe me there are plenty of them out there. Exploiting them is what I say lol.

    I still think you're broken. You do not seem to grasp what the earlier discussion you waded in was about.

    As for the 'c'mon boxing expert', you just successfully blew your cover of a child under the age of 15. Really well done. :good

    Puncher's Chance. And don't give me that sh*t about Mayweather being so defensive, he got caught with a great shot from both Judah and Mosley.

    To me it's a matter of styles and I think Manny would destroy Void. Its not a matter of "If".. It's "when" he does it. I think Manny would KO Mr. mayweather.. To me the big question is.. What round will Manny KO Floyd? In my mind, the thought of Floyd winning is not even in the equation. Manny is all wrong for that hype job, Floyd knows it. Floyd has been running and ducking Manny for almost 3 years.. The man is petrified of Manny, its so easy to see.

    I used to think this is a toss up fight.
    It's pretty obvious why Mayweather takes this, but for the record, here are my reasoning why I used to think that FMJ will just be a glorified Clottey in the ring vs Pac:

    - Pac's punching power, matching speed, matching stamina, awkward angles and southpaw stance will make Floyd very uncomfortable and thus throw less of his laser accurate rights. Floyd shells up when attacked and can't shoulder roll effectively against a southpaw. To put it simply, Pac takes all strengths of ODLH, Castillo and Hatton over FMJ and combines it into one killing machine.

    - Pac's lead left and foot speed will nullify Floyd's reach advantage. Pac's in and out movement coupled with lateral angle shits (we saw vs ODLH, a bit vs JMM 3) will also nullify much of the counters.

    - Pac's chin and workrate will play a crucial role. If FMJ can't make Pac respect his power, even if he were connecting, Pac will continue to surge forward in volumes, further making FMJ shell up and throw less.

    - Pac's right hook is the perfect foil to Floyd's excellent lunging body shots. Pac has been timing his right hooks quite impressively as of late.


    After Pac vs JMM 3, I believe Floyd will school Pac on account of the following "realizations"

    - Pac is darn impatient. Floyd will make him miss a lot and that will eventually cause him to make tons of mistakes that Floyd WILL exploit. FMJ will probably open a cut on Pac's face as early as the 6th round.

    - Pac is darn impatient. Floyd will clinch to hell, on top of making him miss a lot, and make him commit even more mistakes.

    - Pac lacks discipline. Even if he does have the tools to create a competitive fight against FMJ (including Roach on his corner), he can't execute well, because he is darn impatient. FMJ on the other hand has always been very adaptable and extremely disciplined with the way he executes his game plan (see his masterpiece in Mosley).

    Maybe we should ask Floyd, his dad and his uncle.

    IF Pac DOESN'T have a change against Floyd, why won't Floyd fight him?

    OSDT? Yeah right. A fighter who doesn't have a chance must be subjected to OSDT to "LEVEL" the playing field.

    And after the testing issue is done, what happened? FFS, just look at the timeline.

    If Pac DOESN'T have a chance, Floyd already fought him way back 2009, but guess what happened? Floyd ducked Pac. Get over it.
