Thing is: Mayweather looked the most awesome ever vs. Corrales at 130. He lost some speed, power and mobility moving up in weight classes (yes, he did, go YT), but he was still a LOT faster than the opposition up there, and his defense became even better.

The thing is with Pacquiao: it's shocking, but he didn't lose any speed moving up, became even stronger, more accurate and gained the weight without any negative effects (in fact, lost the drain effects).

It's now a very hard fight to pick. Mosley, Clottey, Willams and Cotto would obviously outweight PacMan by 10 pounds, it wouldn't be fair. But Pac would come in at 152 vs. Floyd, so he wouldn't be outweighed by much, or at all, and Mayweather is not a physical fighter.

Now imagine Floyd fighting a guy as fast as him (faster than Zab), more powerful than him, but most of all: very mobile, hard to hit, having just as good stamina and being A LOT BUSIER...

I wouldn't pick a winner right now, I'm obviously under the effects of the Hatton fight. But Pacquiao is more than a special fighter. He's like a predator in there, something Floyd, who I would've picked just 24 hours ago to win, has never ever seen before.

this fight is close. mayweather is not unbeateble, he just has not faced the opposition that pac has. pac came up the hard way fighting tough guys from day one.

The thing with Pac is, he has the ability to drop guys not accustomed to having their head buried on the canvas. Morales got knocked down once in 36 rounds against MAB. He was there 5 times against Pac. It took Floyd 9 rounds to derail Hatton. Pac only two. etc. etc.

And looking back, No one has actually seriously tested Floyd's chin. No one can be blamed for that as Floyd is realy a marvelous defensive machine.

But I have reason to believe Pac can land a lot of clean, powerful shots.

FMJ vs. PAC at a catchweight of 144

who wins and how

For me its gotta be pacman, what a fighter he is, like a southpaw duran in his prime, the way he uses his feet to dart in and out of range, changin angles and throwin fast accurate and explosive punches almost non stop is a joy to see. floyd too is a truly brilliant boxer and i am lookin forward to this fight big time, its gotta happen. I go for manny on points or possible late stoppage. I think the key will be the workrate, speed and alleycat mentality that manny brings to the table, as well as the fierce pride he feels in representing his people. I feel this along with the power he generates from those thick calves of his will be too much for floyd, who i think will be hit more than we have ever seen him hit before. still its a very close call that could resemble leonard duran 1.
