    Do you think floyd will beat pac because he is to big?

    Where does his skill and talent come into play?

    Seems like a cop out.

    Absolutely, but I don't think he should be satisfied with being an ATG because he could be top 5 ATG. He's just about there anyways. For him to settle on being an ATG would be a waste of his uncanny natural skills... But that's just to me.

    And according to Floyd critics, Floyd is a cherry picking, fraudulant coward. Therefore, Pac should get very little for beating him. So I guess no one should be getting credit if we strictly listen to biased viewpoints.

    Having the tools to make an explosive devastating fighter look mediocre on fight night says more about Mayweather than it does about Pac im afraid.

    Fundamentally the media, boxing fans, casual fans e.t.c has pinned all it's hopes on one man being able to beat mayweather, actually not even beat mayweather, KNOCK HIM OUT, in order to become one of the greatest boxers of all time.

    But what happens if that doesn't happen? What happens if Mayweather beats this guy and quite easily, what will happen then?

    Mayweather has already told you what will happen, and that's is the sad part about the situation he finds himself in. He wins, he was suppose to win. But if he loses, people will say he finally faced a true test in his career and came up short, mayweather was overrated.

    And there lays the current state of boxing in america.

    Your damned if you do, and your damned if you dont.

    obviously his skill and talent come into play or else he would have no chance regardless. But i think that without the added element of size Pac would beat him by a fair margin. Also, I do think that fighting only 4 months after his fight against Cotto is a bad idea for Pacquiao, who should allow his body to recover a little bit more.

    This is not some new **** I'm saying now as an excuse. I've said for a long time that at 147 Floyd would be too big for Pacquiao but that at a catchweight of 143/144 Pac would take him. I said that even before Pacquiao beat Cotto.

    Hardly, you are trying to make it sound better than it is. He has gained 9 kilo's throughout his pro career and moved up accordingly. He never moved to 154, he fought a 154 old Oscar and went back to Welter to fight a Light Welter and a Light Weight.... Oh and now Pac.

    Pac's skill = PBF's skill

    but PBF has all the physical advantages so PBF wins

    if floyd brutalized pac, a big props to him. i expect floyd to potshot pac to decision win so if he stops pac by engaging him head-on, i would be a big fan.

    And he is a cherrypicking anyone that isnt in love with him like you and the rest of the *****s can see that,but the critics never said he wasnt a very good fighter.

    You can be a cherrypicker a still be a very good fighter.

    Of course pac would take him at 143, Floyd would be weight drained. So you would be happy with that win:huh

    You clearly are a pacquaio fan but im sure pac is wise enough to understand what his body can handle. If he didn't think he could be ready for March the 13th then the fight would have been delayed. I would take pac word that he will be ready over any of his die hard fans. That's just a given im afraid.

    Just because what you are saying is not new does not make what you are saying any more less of an excuse.

    Pac skill and mayweather's skill are not equal you idiot:-(

    Pac skill is not even equal to Marquez, Marquez proved this.

    However pac's power and speed is his saving grace.

    It's one fight, not a 4 out of seven and anything can happen.

    If Mayweather completely outclasses Pacquiao, then yes he shows he's that good !!

    If Pacquiao can somehow knock FMJ out, then that also doesn't make Mayweather any less of an incredible talent !!

    I know everyone's counting on Pac to be the one to knock out Mayweather. I don't care who wins how because it's going to be an amazing fight between two ATGs.

    Mayweather is probably the best skilled boxer of this current era so of course he's going to have diehard critics win or lose. But he shouldn't ignore the critics though no matter how bigotted or biased their opinions might be. He should blow everyone out of the water regardless because he has the ability to do so.
