Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao vs Floyd 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather who wins?

Pacquiao close points decision or me. If Roach says he has the blueprint to beat Mayweather I have no reason to doubt him. Even without a blue print to blow Floyd away Mannys speed and workrate are enough to keep the fight close, then if he can hurt floyd at some point he can a couple of big clear rounds and take it closely but clearly on the scorecards.

 

Pac will do enough to win on points in my opinion.

 

Mayweather 116-112.

When Cotto stuck to his boxing and remained disciplined, he was capable of neutralising Pacquiao to a degree. It was when he started trading that it slipped away, and fast.

Mayweather is a better boxer than Cotto, better footwork, jab, stamina - the lot. It won't be a great fight, I don't think.

Better than Mayweather vs DLH though :zzz

 

I can see Mayweather spending the whole fight on the back foot losing most of the rounds but thinking he's ahead. Maybe 8-4 Pac.

 

One thing that stood out for me last night (I don't know if I've noticed it before but it hasn't registered) is that Pac throws his jab OR a lead left hand, but it seems impossible to tell which punch he's going to throw until it's almost upon you.

He seems to get to about 80% through the shot with his body before it's obvious which one it is.

Cotto said afterwards he just couldn't work out where the punches were coming from.


Anyway... I think he'll beat Floyd. Castillo gave him an argument with pressure. Oscar took him to a split with the crudest pressure tactics.

I honestly think Pac will overwhelm him. I'd ****ing love it if he did.

 

Very true. Cotto made the same mistake Hatton and Oscar did - thought he'd be stronger than Pac.

But I suspect Pac would've worn him down anyway. Just not as quickly or brutally.

 

It was amazing how effective Manny's left hand lead was. He almost used it the same way a normal fighter uses a jab, only with more power. Cotto didn't deal with that at all.

 

I'll go for Pac, I'm sick of that ****er making a mug of my picks....;O)

 

I'm convinced Pacquiao takes this on points. We know for a fact Mayweather won't stand and trade, so I can see Mayweather being so negative that he will lose a decision.

 

I've finally accepted that the bloke is an ATG and up there with the real kings of the sport.

 

His chin is unbelievable too...I think that has finally been proven. There was always some doubts about it for some reason.

Cotto never bothered him last night and Cotto definitely punches hard.

 

How the **** can I pick against Pac again?

Cotto isn't a great puncher but he's heavy handed and Pac handled them OK which isn't bad for a guy who started at flyweight fighting at welterweight.
