    The things that Manny doesn't do well will be his downfall against Mayweather. Floyd showed last night that he can still give movement and was on his toes in the 12 round. If Floyd gives Manny movement he will confuse the **** out of him and you also have to look at Floyd's jab, timing, and controlling of the range. Manny has to be at mid range in order to do damage. I see Floyd landing on the outside and tying Manny up on the inside and banging that body as well. Floyd by wide UD 9 rounds to 3.

    We might not even get to see bc Bradley has a great chance in beating him next month.

    In a 147 fight with 8oz gloves Mayweather stops Pacquiao. He would have stopped Ctto too. At 154 with 10oz gloves he wins an easy decision.

    Floyd will be bleeding from more than his nose.

    :yep thanks. I remember seeing this before and thinking Floyd could catch Pacquiao like that and Mr. Brazil sent me the Haugen fight again and I remembered the knock down

    2 years ago i would have be more sceptical but from what i have saw latelly PBF look to age better then Pac. at 147-154lbs I'm pretty sure that PBF would get a the UD , not wide but clear!

    Mayweather UD.

    The right hand is what will make Pacquiao think twice about rushing in. Once he starts to box Mayweather will jab and hook over Pacquiao's short reach.

    That said he will need to move and feint.

    Marquez backed PAC p with single shot counters, at times during their fight. If he had enough pop to do so, then so does mayweather.

    Same I said before, Cotto had to worry about weight more and Floyd UD/TKO. Pacquiao is very determined though reckless. Footwork looks great against come forward fighters but can be exploited hence Marquez though styles make fights. Pacquiao still held his own esp in the last two from a technical standpoint but JMM has his number.

    Floyd is better than JMM yes but that doesn't mean he'll do better. JMM countered Pacquiao fast plenty of times and was able to land punches off balance well keeping up with Pacquiao's fast pace. Floyd fights nothing like that and could get caught trying to counter Manny. Still see Pacquiao's punch output dropping as well as Floyd countering him to death. Don't think he'll be fazed too much by Manny but he will land on Floyd I just don't think frequently.

    Again, styles make fights. Cotto was able to bully Floyd at times landing clean bodypunches while infighting well. He did all this with patience and a solid jab. This does not apply to Manny Pacquiao. Not saying Manny can't have some success but I just don't see him getting the job done or even troubling Floyd much. Gets too frustrated.


    Also should be noted that Pacquiao lands sneaky punches but not sure how that would play into the fantasy matchup. TBH, I'd rather see a Cotto rematch, Canelo, and/or Martinez. Just feel Manny would be beaten down by Mayweather though both are great fighters. I wish Manny was as smart as Floyd then it'd be 50/50 but both guys like I said had/have great careers and will be missed esp after the two great fights this year. Still very impressive he's beaten guys bigger than him catchweights or not(Damn catchweight titlefights!!!Lol)

    Trust me Pacquiao will want to look the best he can and I don't see Bradley backing down. Look forward to June 9th and 10th.

    Floyd stops Manny...Pac opens up more than Cotto and will get hit with something he never saw coming.
