    I still lean Mayweather, but Pac showed an ability to disrupt the rhythm of movers and time his shots well. I think the fight would be closer than I initially anticipated. I've always thought light weights are much more skilled, but I think Mayweather dimensions and style still give him an edge over Pac.

    Mayweather by landslide.

    If the Mayweather that fought Cotto fought the Pacquiao that fought last night with 8oz gloves, Pacquiao would get KTFO'd. He looked softer, he still had problems with guys who don't just come forward or stand in one spot, and his stamina was shot to ****. Hell the Cotto that fought Mayweather would beat that Pacquiao down.

    May ... Pac still has power but his output etc has really faded, he also looked quite sloppy in exchanges with bradley, not really landing much ( although I still think he won ), if he has trouble landing cleanly on bradley what hope does he have with may? He was tired throughout the second half of the fight aswell, almost boring to watch.

    Pac still has the power and the speed but he has lost his punch output. Floyd legs are not the same. The fight will still be somehow competitive but it has lost its luster. My prediction the same as before Floyd UD.

    I still don't think the fight will ever happen. But, I would still say it's hard to predict who would win. Floyd wasn't so good against Cotto was eating that left jab all night and he's gonna get hit with Pacs left if he doesn't watch out. Pac although I thought he was owning Bradley still showed he couldn't go all 12 rounds and was tiring and against a defensive counter puncher those late rounds are gonna be brutal for him.:bbb

    If Timmeh who is an inch shorter in height and arm length can effectively use the jab, imagine how much success a master boxer like Floyd will have with his jab.

    Floyd will jab and check hook emmanuel to death

    Floyd's two hands are better than emmanuel's one

    Pacquiao wouldn't even do as well as Cotto did against Mayweather in my honest opinion.
