    Very good post.

    In this day and age with infrequent fighting, cherry picked opposition and media build-up/fallout, even winning a few rounds is made out to be an achievement.

    Unlike Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, even Manny Pac........i will still say Mayweather does not have elite level power. And when you meet fighters who can also understand the sweet science, and this will nullifie your skills to a certain degree. The fight can go two ways..? 1: it will be a cagey fight 2: It will develop into a war of some sort.

    Sergio Martinez would probably knock Floyd Mayweather out..

    Manny Pac in my opinion, i will be watching his next fight closely. And i want to see a return of his former form, he was clearly fatigued and lost in his last fight. I don't know weather it was preparation, but for me.........it was alarming at how weak he looked.

    I think Manny Pac would also beat Floyd Mayweather.

    I believe that through out the time I have been following his career, which has been since the Gatti fight, he has stalled or avoided almost every major fight until the opponent had appeared to look weak or there was no longer a demand for it. He did it with Hatton, Judah, Margarito, Williams, Cotto and now Pacquiao. I believe Judah gave his best best but that's it. People were asking for Mayweather vs. Cotto 4 years ago and he's lost twice since. That's just my opinion but I have to admit he's very gifted and did fight Corrales when Corrales was considered number 1 SFW.

    I'm not saying Pacquiao would beat Mayweather but if you check my post history, I predicted that Marquez would give Pacquiao hell last time and I have always maintained that he would still be 50/50 with Mayweather. Mayweather does not like to be pressured, gets hit with more clean shots against lefties and Pacquiao has a granite chin, power etc. Let's see the fight made now coz it's already been stalled, perhaps by both, for too long.
