    I’d go with Floyd... I just feel his counter punching style and his accuracy especially with his right hand will always be wrong for Manny. Just like JMM will always give Manny fits because of his style. Floyd is the better version of JMM.
    Plus at the lighter weights Floyd was also more offensive, faster and lighter on his feet.

    This version of Floyd probably blasts out Manny in epic fashion, we’re talking prime or maybe just pre prime Floyd who stopped Corrales, Chavez, would be 2 quick too strong and too skilled manny was still a 1-armed fighter at this point and once the left was taken away or nullified what’s next not enough tools in the box. Manny’s best chance was honestly probably when they did actually fight or right now since he’s still active but then especially at 130 that’s probably the worst weight for this match up

    At 130 I honestly don't know. Both men were beasts at this weight and both were still coming into their own. Frankly, it's kind of terrifying to think about looking back.

    Is Floyd already a runner at 130? He is more of a puncher-boxer then so Pac will win here

    You mean the same weight where a shot erik Morales beat pac at against the GOAT at 130 in pbf? Lmfao pbf beats any version of pac.

    Pacquiao.

    His southpaw style would have always given Mayweather issues.

    Pacquiao also has the better resume at 130lbs.

    JLC beat him and he turn to be a runner.
    At 130, Floyd is in a fight with Pac. 130 Pac is a better puncher and boxer compared to 135 JLC

    Floyd needs to run if he wants to beat Pac

    You really think Mayweather could nullify Manny's left hand.

    Pacquiao was quicker on his feet and more explosive at 130 than he was at 147, but he was also more reckless and would provide more countering opportunities to Mayweather, who was also much quicker on the trigger, more powerful, and a better mover than he was in 2015. I generally think Mayweather wins most of the rounds through his distance control by keeping Pacquiao's hands at home more than usual. Pacquiao would have a number of really good moments, though, because he's an ATG fighter and has exceptional awkwardness and timing. But Mayweather wins a clear decision.

    Floyd would destroy Pacquiao at 130 pounds. This was pretty boy Floyd.

    2 things are true for the most part throughout Mayweather career he’s both been buzzed by every southpaw he’s fought yet at the same time has beaten down everyone of them as well, so I do feel it will be an entertaining fight but that version of Mayweather was a different animal pretty boy Floyd was deadly and would possibly stop Manny.

    How much running did pbf do against canelo jmm cotto hatton mosley? i could go on and on. You're just a bitter excuse maker still mad about may 2nd 2015. Pac lost to a faded erik morales at 130 and couldn't even beat jmm clearly log off.

    Manny found great success with his left hand against Floyd in 2015. If anything, he should have used his left hands more. Floyd didn't have much of an answer for them.
