    He needs to take the blood tests and give it a shot. We all want to see what he can do against Floyd. Talk is cheap.

    Befor May 1st it was probably the case that PBF had to proove himself against pacman but now i think its the other way round and just cannt see pac winning.

    So in effect you are saying PEDs make him an exceptional boxer? It isn't even his power punches that won him his last fights. Accurate punching did. There's no PEDs for that.

    Okay I understand you now. :smoke

    I agree with BigReg and southsidegym: The size/length issue makes this a bad match-up for Pacquiao, makes it a lot less likely he can get to Mayweather as Mosley did, and I think Mayweather wins if the two men fight.

    Same size/reach, different story. But you have to take the actual measurables for what they are and go off of that in predicting a bout.

    What Pac has going for him is great speed and power coupled with a very unorthodox style. The only hope he would have is that because he throws power shots from unpredictable angles Mayweather wouldn't see a big one coming. But I'd still pick Mayweather by counterpunching beat down.

    I think Manny has a great chance in this fight...yes I lean towards Floyd but I will not write off Pac what so ever. He has proved everybody wrong so far. Before the Cotto fight you were said to be "an idiot" if you thought Pac would win....just remember that.

    Mayweather has fought 4 southpaws. Judah was the only one to win more than 1 round. And which Southpaw cut Mayweather?

    aggression plays right into a counter punchers hands (or fists)

    completely agree ssm is bigger and stronger, look how difficult it was for marquez to reach may and his size is very comparable to pacs.

    IMO Mosley has much better one punch power then Manny. Really the only way I see Manny winning this fight is by making Floyd be the agressor at times and tryinig to counter him with his speed. Bum rushing the guy the way he does most opponents will at best work for two rounds....and then he'll be pulling a Ricky running head first into counters.

    Pac is almost certainly going to hit Mayweather hard, multiple times, and early.

    Why does everyone (in between his fights, as the months wear on) always forget how bizarrely, how freakishly fast Pacquiao is? Mayweather has never seen anything remotely like him in all his years as a fighter. Mayweather is a master-adapter but this time he's going to have to adapt very, very fast.

    If Zab J can hit PBF, you can be damn sure Pac will find him.
    Anyone thinking that PBF is going to stream roll PAC is not thinking straight.
    Its going to be a pick em fight.
