Floyd stops Pacquiao in this one. Floyd has all the tools to walk Pacquiao down.

I'll play devil's advocate since I know it's easy to find predictions for pretty boy Floyd!

Evander Holyfield; "It's gunna be difficult for each one of them. The best guy is going to win. It's a toss up. When you look at Floyd, he's got to be one of the most skillful fighter, but Sugar Ray Robinson was great. You could never think anyone could beat Sugar Ray Robinson, but that one guy had his number. And, I think in life, everybody has someone's number. It's just one of those things, when do they fight." (2014)

Timothy Bradley: "The fight is 50-50. Years ago, I though Floyd had the advantage, but now I think it's more 50/50." (2014/2015)

Johnny Nelson (Ringside TV UK): "Pacquiao. [reporter shocked, "really!"] I know. I. . . I can't believe I just said that. I feel ashamed for saying it because I've always stuck by Mayweather all the way through, but I think Pacquiao wins. I know! I can't believe it. I just feels his pace, his unorthodox style, it's all wrong for Mayweather. So, I reckon he is too unorthodox. His pace is too high. He's going to come at too many different angles for Mayweather at this stage." (yesterday lol 2015)

^ This one actually shocked me. He interviewed Pacquiao about two weeks ago, and he said he believed Mayweather would win and even told that to Pacquiao. I guess Pac was able to change his mind, lol!

Bernard Hopkins: "50/50." (2014)

Gennady Golovkin (who fights tomorrow, whoopie!): "I respect both fighters, but the fight for me... 50/50." (2015)

Shawn Porter: "For me, Pacquiao is favored because he is a little more versatile than Floyd at this stage of their careers. I think Floyd, you know, likes to use great defense and counterpunch while Manny can do a little bit of everything from a southpaw position. (2015)

Roy Jones Jr: "50/50. . . (about Pacquiao) That tiger is back." (2014)

Sugar Ray Leonard: "You know, it's one of those fights where anyone could win." (2014)

Roberto Duran: "I think Pacquiao is going to win. I've studied Pacquiao's fight and I've studied Mayweather's." (2015)

Tommy Hearns: "50/50" (2014)

Doug Fisher(The Ring Magazine): "You know what, Idk about that fight. . . after last year, after the way Pacquiao looked against Tim Bradley and the way he looked against Chris Algieri, these two young guys- one of them everyone had ranked #3 P4P in Timothy Bradley. Everybody! And, Pacquiao beat him soundly. [ellie seckbach cutting in, "But, but neither of those two are big punchers."] Yeah, but neither is Mayweather. Maybe Mayweather hits a little bit harder than them, but is Mayweather as active as they are? Does Mayweather move around the way they do? Is Mayweather as tough as Bradley or Algieri? Is he willing? I'm not saying he's not tough because one of his underrated qualities is his, along with his physical strength and punching power, is durability. But is he willing to take the beating that Algieri and Bradley would take? [Ellie Seckbach cuts in, "But he fought Maidana 2 times! And Maidana's a hard puncher."] He did, he did, and, you know, Maidana extended him in both fights. The first fight with Maidana was a close fight, I think. I thought that was a 7 rounds to 5 rounds fight in Mayweather's favor. But you know, seeing their respective state from last year, I see it as a toss up fight." (2015)

Leon Spinks: "Pacquiao, but you never know because it could go back and forth. [Why? Speed?] Yeah, he got speed, and he dances. He'll bam-bam-bam then he'll run. Bam-bam-bam then he'll run. That mother**** can then catch you in the corner. If Mayweather gets in the corner, Mayweather going to be f**** up." (2015)

Aaron Pryer: "I don't think Floyd is equipped to handle Pacquiao." (2015)

I can't post links! Sorry! but, they're all on youtube.

Vanboxingfan · Feb 21, 2015

Guys who say 50-50 shouldn't even be mentioned. What's the point of asking for someone's opinion if they don't offer it? 50-50 is just bailing out.

Enigmadanks · Feb 21, 2015

^^^ I don't know about some of those quotes and their credibility. I will say though it's normal for people to change their stances/positions.

Hearns was asked many times who he favored and he always said Floyd was too skillful for pacman. Leonard has mentioned this several times as well, and there's even a video of both of them together at a boxing match last year in the fall both stating they thought Floyd would beat manny.

A few weeks ago Hopkins was in a video (I think on fight hype) where he said then only person who can beat Mayweather is Mayweather.

But like I said maybe people changed their stance from interviews where they felt Mayweather would win.

Well, a lot of people's opinion change over time because the fighter's themselves change. That's why all my quotes come from like right after Pacquiao's fight with Algieri or in 2015. I don't really find quotes from 2011, 2012, 2013 credible because like you said, people's opinions may change after seeing Pac's fight with Bradley or Mayweather's fight with Maidana. That's why I really only pay attention to the most recent ones.

I spent like 45 minutes quoting all of them verbatim from the videos, so it's legit. Lol

Opinions of others don't mean anything. Post your prediction and stop being wussies.

8-4 or 7-5 for Floyd.
