    It comes down to one huge difference... ring size. If they were fighting in the same rat cage Lara had to fight Angulo in, I would like Mannys odds of looking REALLY good. One step is all it takes to cut off the ring. I have been in probably 3 different sized rings and I guarantee it makes a difference. Floyd vs Oscar is another example. Oscar was the A side and chose ring size. Floyd would not allow that to happen. He is the shot callere here and its his right to do so. If the shoe was on the other foot, you can bet Manny would ask for a small ring.

    Floyd will go down in history as the better fighter, but both have several questionable fighters on their resume. Why not fight a shot Mosley or Cotto instead of a Lara? Unfortunately big $ fights arent always the best fights. It sucks

    They could fight in a phone booth and it would'nt make a difference.
    Mayweather is naturally the bigger fighter and he's a much better at fighting at close quarters than Pacquiao anyways.

    A bigger ring may actuallly end up benefiting Pacquiao, he needs that space to charge in and keep his feet moving herky jerky style.


    Does'nt make much differnce imo anyways, Mayweather toys with him now, yesterday and tommorow.

    Mayweather would embarrass Pacquiao. As long as Floyd doesn't get caught. He'll win a UD or late

    TKO.He might be the first boxer to look pretty after fighting Pacquiao.

    Cause hell even Cotto, Rito , rios, Marquez had sustained facial damage.

    Bradley was a weird one he was crippled but his dome looked untouched. Hmmm

    Pacquiao doesn't know how to fight on the inside. Just FYI. I don't know why people are so blind to this fact. Pacquiao needs space to punch, and if you think he's going to beat Floyd on the outside. :lol:

    If you think Marquez looked small against Floyd, just wait and see if Pacquiao fights him. People will finally realize they were on drugs. Nobody smaller than Floyd is beating him, sorry.

    if floyd runs like mosley he won't score enough to win. i can see a scenario where floyd runs all night and lands only the jab, while his fans cry robbery afterwards.

    I really wish Mayweather has the *****s confidence and say something like that instead of shaking in fear every time he hears Pacquiao or are you going to fight Pacquiao. :deal

    I don't like it when people say Mayweather would have always beaten Pacquaio easily. In 2009 is was a close fight hard to call. As time goes on obviously the advantage is more and more for Mayweather

    More excuses. Pac could never beat Floyd. The fight is going to happen and the excuses are starting already. But, but Pac 2009 would have beat Floyd. Why did he duck Floyd then?

    Who said anything about fighting on the inside? Pac isn't good at it, we know that. Too many people overrate Floyd's recent domination because he has only faced poor stamina, stationary fighters. (No i'm not saying Pac has done any better either) Pac needs space to punch? WTF are you talking about? That is not true at all. It doesn't even occur to you that Floyd won't be as accurate against a fairly mobile fighter. People say Floyd has faced every style... ok, but when was the last time he faced anyone as active as Pac??? At least 7 years.

    You honestly believe Pacs work rate will have no effect on Mayweather? Think about the judges for a second... If Pac was throwing (not even necessarily landing) against Floyd you don't think Judges may be swayed like they were with say a Paul Williams. Floyd will be excellent, we know this, but Manny would force Floyd to exchange more and that gives opportunities to Manny. With Guerrero, Floyd was moving all the time and Robert couldn't catch him.

    It's such an easy fight, it will never happen. See, it's that easy. Who fights easy fights for a big payday? Hmm...

    Pac will not be that active because Mayweather has a way of neutralizing fighters best weapons. Mayweather will force to not throw as he would like to b/c of the countering ability of Mayweather.
