    By the way here's my pick


    3 years back, I'd pick Mayweather with little doubt. But now I think its close. Floyd is 38, Manny is 36. They style of the swift boxer that is tough to hit cleanly does not age as well as the style of the puncher.

    Marcos Maidana, who's not as good as Pacquaio forced Mayweather to fight in their first match! The result was a Majority Decsion for Mayweather. If Maidana had more power or better stamina who knows. But Maidana gassed a bit late. It was this moment that I thought to myself that Manny has a chance.

    I think Manny can win if he fights like Maidana assuming he's willing to get hit and in his best shape. Let Roach map out a duck and body attack, and stay out of the middle of the ring and it could be interesting!

    Let's assume there is no knockout.

    Mayweather is rather conservative on the punch stats. On the punch stats I have seen between the two, Pacquiao throws on average 10-15 more punches a round.

    How will the judges score it? Manny throws more and lands more punches, but Floyd has a higher connect percentage. In most cases the judges go for the volume puncher forcing the action.

    My pick: With good judging I think Mayweather wins a 8-4 or 7-5 type of decision. Manyweather's jab and 1-2 will stop Pacquiao from advancing when he needs to.

    I also think the odds of a Split decision either way ( Manny via SD Ha-ha! ) or a Draw has higher than normal chance of being the official result. This is boxing. We have seen it before. $$$ The re-match $$$.

    He's not going to lose. It is an impossible question to answer, because Floyd is winning on May 2nd. Bank on it. The only thing that really is going to make it so shocking is because "some people" have hyped Manny so much.

    I could see him being very gracious in defeat. Everytime he talks about his opposition post-fight, he's actually very polite and exhibits a good level of decorum. I think he'd act similarly in the way of a defeat.

    That being said, I seriously doubt pacman will be able to beat him. I can't see Floyd taking this match lightly whatsoever.

    I think he'd be humble, Floyd is always humble after a fight.

    There is going to be alot of you crying on May 3rd! :happy Just becasue of the worlds "Serious Doubt" Floyd's like GOD to you guys he can walk on water huh lmao! Hey but I like the guy's skills, pretty good boxer! But you never should doubt another fighter! And it's not like Manny's taken it light, but Floyd is doing things he has never done, so regardless of how easy of a fight his fans say this is he surly doesn't think so!

    Are you directing your inane comments towards me? I'm a fan of both fighters but I'm definitely a bigger mayweather fan.

    Don't tell me how I'll be acting or feeling after a fight. What kind of condescending **** is that- you don't know me at all you keyboard warrior.
