ROFLMAO Floyd couldn't KO a flea Feather fisted Floyd that's the main reason he uses the elbow smashes

 

watch out for the sucker punch after the clinch.

 

I believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. takes a bad beating in this fight and gets stopped by Manny Pacquiao.

 

LOL at boxing_master the sell out. Talking all that **** all this time and then he votes Mayweather in the official poll.

:rofl:rofl

 

Pacquiao should stop being a gentleman on this fight. Floyd would take any cheap opportunity to win this fight. No glove taps and no hugging.

 

The use of the reach, by mayweather will be too much for pac.
Floyd beats pac 8 to 4, coasting to a ud

 

Floyd will be nailed a few times, but will outbox Manny quite easily.

UD for Floyd.

 

While I'd love to see Pac win, I believe Floyd will win by decision.

 

Mayweather will feel Manny out for a bit and feint him. Get his rhythm of coming in and out for timing. Tie up his right hand with your left due to the southpaw stance, look for that straight right down the pipe when Manny tries to "hop step" inside. Step in and smother when necessary and dig to Pac's body on the inside and clinch. Pac can get lazy with that right jab of his and "flick it," so I expect Floyd to look to hook off that jab and throw in some check hooks as well as Pac lunges in, either off that lazy jab, or a feint.

Just look to avoid that left hand, reset when necessary, and keep feinting and keep thinking. Pacquiao will over-react to feints, either via shelling up or coming in with a flurry, leaving himself out of position. It's one of his biggest flaws. Typically Pacquiao's speed allows him to get away with this, and that will not be the case with Floyd.

Mayweather by mid fight will have Pacquiao tentative because of feints, and when he does decide to flurry, Mayweather will force him to over extend out of position, to land solid counters. It will be a Mayweather style fight, and I don't see Pacquiao throwing more than roughly 550 punches total for the fight.

This doesn't mean Pacquiao won't have his opportunities, and will surely land some punches. But I don't think the consistency will be there, as the longer and stronger Mayweather will control range, and in the clinch Pacquiao has no hope in my eyes. I honestly have yet to think of a single scenario where Mayweather doesn't do whatever he wants with Pacquiao in the clinch. It's going to wear the Pacman down mentally and physically. By the championship rounds, Manny will be looking for the miracle shot and will be a beaten man. Just IMO.

Pacquaio being the man he is, will look to push the fight and be impatient. Manny will run into shots. That will be his undoing.

I predict Mayweather wins a UD, 8-4 or 9-3, and possibly stops Pac late due to stoppage or cuts. I don't believe he would KO Pac, it would be a TKO if it happened. But I'm conservative with my picks, and neither man has knocked out anybody in quite some time. Floyd by UD.

 

Excellent ****ysis, I see it going the same exact way.

 

Floyd kicks the **** out of him!!!
