    Khan does not have cat like reflexes. Fast hands and feet though.

    You never know when two ATGs, arguably at their best step into the ring. But I can see Floyd frustrating Manny badly with his defense. Very badly.

    JMM is a great boxer/counterpuncher. However, PBF is on a whole different level ... PBF speed, is something Pac has never seen or dealt with before. Please, no comparisons, PBF has that one in a million speed. Pac has great speed, blistering combinations. But NOONE can thread the needle like PBF. This pre fight, will be one of the most hotly debated bouts in history. Because you could make a case for both fighters. The question is, can PBF shoulder roll, smother, potshot and slide around Pac to neautralize Pacs bombs? Or will the sheer volume of Pac, be to much for PBF to play with? I think PBF has enough snap in his shots(when he sits down on them) to hurt Pac. I also feel that Pac can hurt PBF IF he can hit him solidly. People tend to overlook PBF`s ring smarts, and his amazing conditioning. He fights the fight the way He wants to. And he has such ring savvy that he figures out the opponent as the fight goes on. And he can go a hard 12. His arrogance to tell everyone he`s the best, pushes him over the top in training. This is a phenominal fight!!!

    ROFL! if a 130 lbs bloat to 144 in a couple of days what do you expect? remember how many people whine when manny ask to fight at 145? a lot of people throw a cow, and here comes a dude with no regards, a man that doesnt honor his words to come in 2 lbs heavier on the agreed weight. what do you expect?

    Floyd does counter usually one punch at a time. But his punches are very accurate, and land with more force than a Marquez punch.

    People tend to think Floyd has no power, but there wrong. He knocked Ricky Hatton out with one punch. He knocked Marquez down with one punch which proves he has respectable power.

    BTW your avatar is crazy!

    PBF has been caught flush before; it's rare, but it has happened. He's not Roger; his chin hasn't shown any signs of being suspect...

    1 punch landing every 20 seconds isnt better than 10 punches every 20 seconds and lands 5. when manny initiate his 6 punch combo at least 3 of his shots will land.

    Well Pac has never faced a fighter like Floyd, and Vice Versa. Those 6 punch combos play right into the hands of a defensive counter puncher like Floyd. I honestly think Floyd is stronger than Cotto at this point in there careers.

    By stronger you mean he is a better technical boxer than Cotto right? If you say that Mayweather is a stronger puncher than Cotto then I must disagree.

    Has anybody thought of Pacquiao playing Mayweather at his own game and Pot-Shotting him with single shots and then get out, the straight left down the pipe like he did against De La Hoya, that mixing it up with his combos of course.

    Mayweather is stronger overall. He may not pack as heavy a punch as Cotto, but Mayweather is fit as can be. This allows him to go 12 rounds fresher than Cotto or any other fighter.

    This plays a big factor in the later rounds when Mayweather still has his legs and punches at full strength. Mayweather is bigger and stronger than most give him credit.

    Mayweather went toe to toe with corley and was a war nothing like what he is now bad example because he went hard that fight now he makes fights easily as possible but this is what yall dont see.

    Mayweather makes people slow down he stresses them to a point were they do get tired. Check all of his fights. All fighters become lethargic.
