    The way i see it is that Marquez has proved he has more KO power than Mayweather (40 vs 26 KOs) and given he counterpunches and Pac is an offensive juggernut, it's a real tough match-up.

    When i've seen Floyd pick apart his opponents is mainly due to SPEED;when his slower opponents punch, Mayweather runs circles around them and gets in a flurry of quick punches; then he runs away and resets. His slower opponents have no chance unless Floyd gets careless and allows them to get in a lucky punch. Against Manny, Floyd will have trouble beating Manny to the punch. Sure, he can counterpunch but Manny is so fast and can attack from so many angles that he can counterpunch Floyd's counterpunching as-well and this is dangerous for Floyd. People are undestimating how Manny's speed, punching power and angle of attacks can trouble Floyd. Counterpunching slow fighters is his forte; counterpunching Manny is a different thing altogether.

    Bradley is similar to Mayweather and Pac has really beaten him twice. He is a skilled counterpuncher but lacks power and Manny seems to be comfortable with this type of fighter. YES, Floyd is better but Bradley is real tough and quite similar. A counterpuncher with power that goes for the KO is Manny's biggest threat.

    I think manny has a punchers chance and thats about it. I would advise manny to mix it up and try and get floyd to come to him instead of him going to floyd. Floyd would just counter pac all night and get pac to start fighting wreckless when he cant land. Might look like Ricky Hatton fight.

    Agree on the height and reach.

    However, you and I both know Floyd weighing 154 isnt true. He weighed 150 at the Canelo weigh in and said himself he woke up at 147. And had to eat to hit 150. He came into the ring 150 too.

    This thread is an obvious attempt by "Dunks" to belittle Pacquiao. It was a bad knockout as Manny ran right into the punch. But, not the most brutal ever. Manny was up and coherent shortly afterwards. "Thread Stealer "listed several that were more devastating. And, I would add Manny vs Hatton, Glenn Johnson-Roy Jones and Hearns-Duran to that list, as well. It just shows that even fighters with a great chin such as Duran can be taken out by the right punch.

    Pacs best chance was back in 2010 even then I would have picked Floyd to win on points pac might of dropped him but I could imagine Floyd getting back up and schooling him.

    Today pac has just a punchers chance even this Pac is the best person to give Floyd problems at 147.

    Canelo isn't slow neither is Cotto and neither are unskilled. Quit making stuff up to push your agenda.

    So why does he come in the ring 150? Why did he come in 151 against Bradley?
    Is he fighting on a full stomach?
