Official poll: Money or Manny: Who will win?

manny. he will do to mayweather what judah did....but for 12 rounds. shoulder roll willl be uneffective against manny's southpaw stance and mayweather will be knocked down in the fight at least once. manny will outwork him and tag him repeatedly en route to a comprehensive points victory or late round stoppage

 

Thank God, we really need another one of these threads

 

When I saw Cotto on 24/7, I lost a bit of faith and doubt Pac could get out of there alive. I'll never doubt Pac again.

 

You seem to have misunderstood ... this apparently is the "Official" one.

 

Oscar had a split with Money with his average punching output......With Manny...it will be different....volume punching will make a difference in this fight....and also Manny has a high punch landed rate according to compubox....one more, he is relentless...he wont get tired of catching mayweather even if he runs....He can also take best shots from Floyd......in the end...Floyd has to fight fire with fire.....Manny will finish him off...

 

I know Pacquiao dominated Cotto, but the first round of the fight showed Cotto's jab working well (Mayweather's key) and unlike Cotto, Mayweather won't stop using the jab and lead right hand. Also, Cotto did land a couple of decent punches on the counter against Pacquiao, which is yet again, another Mayweather advantage. Cotto's lateral movement also slowed, something that Mayweather doesn't stop - he's too gifted in the skills department. Now I can't say that Mayweather will win, because I've doubted Manny in his last three fights and he's proved me wrong every time, but on paper, Mayweather SHOULD win, I said SHOULD. I really hope Pacquiao pulls something out of the bag to beat Mayweather - it would be fantastic if he stopped him with one of those fast power punches he likes to throw.

 

I'm gonna say Money, because every time I say Manny is gonna lose, he wins.

 

money just gonna box for 12 rounds and win

 

I think mayweather will come unstuck, but we all know Mayweather is amazing fighting of the back foot with sharp cutting shots. It will be wild...
Pac wins 9th round KO...

 

"Official poll"

We're going to have about 100 of these "official" polls.

 

Money.

Because he'll do the things Pacquaio has trouble with and he does them better than potentially anyone else in history. He's a backfoot fighter who can counter punch with ease, he has more speed than anyone currently boxing and his defensive technique has to be rated as one of the most complete in history.

Unlike Cotto, ODLH and arguably Mosley, Floyd doesn't need to hurt Manny to win - he can outbox him for the full 12 rounds, the pace of the fight won't stop him doing that.

 

pacquiao knocks him out early in the fight. pacquiao's chin allows him to take risks. there is no way pacquiao would try and outbox this guy. he'll maul him and knock him out early. before the 4th. mayweather is too weak to hurt him, and isnt fast enough to dodge all of manny's punches. no one is.
