    The win of pac cemented his legacy! JMM could have cemented his legacy had he would over PBF. JMM did not defy logic.

    JMM/Mab/Morales fans does not like PAC to win over PBF coz it will prove a lot of things.

    PAC is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above the trio - mab,jmm and morales in terms of resume/achievments/legacy! Ouch!

    Props to JMM for fighting pbf !I acknowledge that!

    I think mayweather can hurt Pac if he were more on the offense. But looking back at the Marquez fight, I just don't seem Mayweather letting go of his hands enough to be able to really hurt Pac. If this were the lightweight version Floyd who actually threw a lot of combinations, maybe, but ever since he moved up, he hasn't really been an offensive force the way Cotto is.

    I'm not saying Floyd doesn't have the power, but it's not just his style lately to go out to try to really hurt his opponent.

    You're absolutely right. Mayweather's jab is better and more educated than Cotto......
    Cotto was snapping Pacquiao's head back with the jab.

    What Mayweather would do is jab all night long, and counter with straight right potshots everytime Pac would unleach his left

    Pac is'nt going to be able to pull the trigger if Mayweather is not there to be hit.

    ......and I just thought of another thing.......with people really hyped about Pacquiao and many having him over Mayweather as better p4p....if Mayweather had any intention of maybe testing Pacquiao's mettle and maybe think he can possibly KO Pacquiao.....Pac's performance against Cotto may actually work against him.
    Mayweather knows now that Pac as a Welterweight can not only dish it out, he can take it as well.
    .....this type of information can only help to tweak Mayweather's gameplan to give Pacquiao less opportunities to get off.

    It looks like Pacquiao may have his chance to prove his greatness against Mayweather.

    If you want to judge Marquez based on his showing vs Mayweather, then you should wait and do the same when Pacquiao faces him.


    .......I guess from your standard, Pacquaio's legacy comes undone if Mayweather shellaks him.

    I picked Mayweather to beat Marquez, just as I will pick Mayweather with extreme confidence to do the same and worse to Pacquiao.

    ......one thing is for certain in my view.....Pac will never work Mayweather over like he did DLH and Cotto.....his only chance is to land one shot and out.

    With conviction I say only a lucky type shot that KO's Mayweather give Pac a victory........always possible, but very highly unlikely.

    i still think pbf would beat pac, but the cotto win means this fight has to happen now.
    no bull**** about who deserves the biggest cut. take 50% each of whatever ****ing gajillions will be made and settle the p4p debate once and for all.

    i won't say that that shot will be just a lucky shot, coz he'll be aiming for that punch for the whole fight for sure.

    i still think floyd will win by UD.

    Yes, but in favour of Mayweather. I saw the way Cotto was able to pick Manny off and at times make him miss. Mayweather by clear UD if they ever fight.

    Here's this guy again. If Mayweather negotiations fall through I want to see Pac-JMM 3. Divac, how do you see that fight going?

    If Void still refused to fight Pac, Pac will fight Mosely next.

    PAC vs PBF will be boring! For sure PBF will do a lot of running! On the issue of PBF ko PAC?! :lol::rofl:lol:

    I know you resect pac but you happen to always think his opponent will win!

    DIVAC, how many times do I have to tell you PAC defies Logic?! If your logic dictates PBF will win fine with me but always remember what i often tell you!

    PAC DEFIES LOGIC!

    PAC vs PBF

    I'll be disappointed if PAC wins by UD only! Book mark this if you want!

    absolutey. none of that bull**** about hatton being a shitty fighter and odlh being way over the hill hold any water anymore. manny is the real deal, end of story. i have the feeling he's gonna bring the fight to floyd and most likely beat the **** out of him.

    floyd's lack of top quality opponents over the years might affect him. but i still go with floyd because pac still is unbalanced at times and is open for punches, and floyd will be able to catch it. i hope i'm wrong though. it would be nice to see floyd laid out like hatton and can't wake up for days.
