    Has any Pacquiao opponent been able to successfully counter him without the willingness to trade?
    Mayweather's lack of punch combinations, safety first style and declining footspeed lead me to believe Pacquiao wins come May2nd.

    okay, so you think pac can win due to his speed, stamina and explosiveness ?

    he is way too predictable, he does the same exact thing every single fight round after round. speed is not what is needed to compete with a fighter in Floyds league.

    combining chino and canelo would be the perfect fighter to take Floyd out. use chino bullying Floyd to the ropes and canelos sick combination punching. no one puts their punches together like canelo. timing always beats speed and that's why pac has a very low % of even making this fight competitive past rounds 3/4.

    I have to assume you are a pac fan, if that is so how can you not see the predictability in him ? he never changes anything and Floyd will have him figured out and timed within 2/3 rounds. then its over. Floyd will cruise the remaining rounds.

    if pac had the 5" reach advantage and he mixed up his attack that would be a totally different scenario but he doesn't and cant change up or even mix up his attack at all....

    look at the first chino fight, that was fight that could've went either way and that was 100% due to chino being so unpredictable with huge power and great strength.

    pac fans are going to be shocked at the path this fight takes. its so easy to see, and I mean its glaringly bright yet very dark for pac nation

    Marquez fought fire with fire and went through blood, sweat, and tears in all 4 fights.

    I don't see how Mayweather can potshot himself to victory, Pacquiao's workload and punch output is too high, and ever increasing as the fight goes on. That activity will overshadow the potshots and counters that Floyd will land.
    Pac's lateral movement and footspeed will be a deciding factor imo, which he has never faced, ever. Lightweight Floyd would be able to handle Pacquiao fairly easily, but definitely not this version.

    ummm,exactly which SP had fmj pot shot his way to victory ? he doesn't pot shot SP's, he attacks them with his 2 best weapons which just so happen to be SP killers in the left hook straight rights. in either order, both 1-2's are totally deadly to SP's especially ones with bad reach disadvantages

    Please post your mom's picture here. I think your mom is uglier than Pac's.

    I honestly think Pac wins this easily, something resembling the Oscar fight..however i do see mayweather hitting the canvas early. I think he hits the canvas 3x this fight (two of them coming in the same early round).

    I have not been impressed by floyd's recent competition..the only opponent i respect is Miguel Cotto. I cannot shake how ordinary Floyd looked that fight. His punches were not accurate at all and he got touched up good.

    Pacquiao is soo much more deadly than cotto and his style is wrong for Floyd.

    I also trust the brains of Freddie Roach. They know Floyd is going to fire the straight right hand all night....I trust Freddie to find a way to counter that shot HARD and make mayweather hesitant much more than a trust floyd and floyd SR. finding a way to effectively counter the left.

    The more I think about the fight, the more lopsided I think it'll be. I've always felt this is a total mismatch. How they can't see Pacquiao is the one with the uphill battle is beyond me.

    The fighter I envisioned beating Floyd is more along the lines of a Vernon Forrest. Pac and his style is tailor made to make Mayweather look great.

    Pacquiao landed just 34% of his punches on a former kick boxer who came up from 140 pounds. Just FYI. (Landed just 20% of his punches against Joshua Clottey)

    If you don't think that landed percentage dips even lower against Floyd. :lol:
