    It's obvious that you've only seen a handful of PBF fights the guy has been ad******g since his days at 130. You're bias against American fighters is pathetic from Dawson, Dirrell and PBF I could go on and on. I'm not the only one who has picked up on it. Only a bias person or someone who doesn't know boxing would say that PBF doesn't adjust there's no way around it. Log off.

    Again you're completely off base. It's easy to see who holds the stylitsic advantage here in this fight the very thought that you go aaginst boxing common sense baffles me. This is boxing 101 Pac is a counter-puncher's wet dream, short arms, no jab, poor defense, comes in off balanced if you don't understand that then there's no need to continue this debate. You're wrong about that and I'm right.:deal

    Again you're wrong. If you call losing a combined 5 rounds to 3 southpaws in Corley, Zab and Mitchell struggling then I don't know what else to say.:patsch

    Once again you prove your bias towards American fighters. Calling Zab a C- class is yet another example. Zab is a two weight division champ belts at 140 and 147 where he was undisputed and linear. How many C class fighters are two weight champs?:deal:hi:

    Pre-JMM affair, PBF by massacre, 10/10.

    Now, between 135-147, I'll go with 6/10 W for PAC.

    PAC-MAN, now and improved, doesn't just utilize Power and bravado with darting in and out speed. He's becoming a well rounded boxer-puncher, as seen in his match with Oscar DLH. Roach nd PAC r a match made in heaven, humble warriorz.

    FMJ, since a child, perfecting his craft with a fighting family. Floyd is a superb athlete with natural abilities that are a gift to mankind's elite. He's one of the best that the U.S. has to offer, regarding his P4P merits and wt class.

    PAC MAN
    vs
    MAYWEATHER

    LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PBF keeps pac at the distance through his jabs, pac will be open with may's straight right. If pac continues to fight floyd at a distance, it would be a huge UD for Floyd. If pac tries to fight in the inside, floyd's elbows will be there. The best fight for pac is to fight at midrange, but he should be more careful. If pac tries to use flurries, most will be blocked ala clottey. counters from floyd would be plenty, he had to eat those shots in order for him to land his own punches. footwork and head movements from pac will be crucial.

    i dont think theres any way pacquiao could outbox mayweather, sorry to say.
    If the fight goes 12 rounds im sure it will be floyds hand raised.
    manny CAN beat mayweather if he can catch him cleanly enough often enough but thats hard to see.

    i give manny a punchers chance. still would love to see the fight though

    Those who understand boxing would not bet on Mayweather on this fight. The reason is because the fighting sytle of these two boxers. Mayweather is always having difficult game fighting someone who throws punches in volume.

    1. Mayweather vs Castillo 1 - He definely lost on that fight
    2. Dela Hoya vs Mayweather - during the first 6 rounds Mayweather having trouble fighting because De la Hoya throwing lots of body punches and jobs.
    3. Hatton vs Mayweather - 1 to 7 rounds clearly go to Hatton as Hatton pressing the fight and throwing lots of Punches.

    Because Pacquiao style of fight with that kind of Power will surely be difficult for Mayweather. It would be hard for Mayweather to adjust on fighting style with Pacquiao because surely he will be hit hard by Pacquiao and unable to adjust his fight because of the barrage of heavy punches by Pacquiao. I will put my $5000 on this fight on Pacquiao. I usually put my money on Money Mayweather but this time no way.

    Mayweather will be having hard time ad******g on Pacquiao style because of Pacquiao fight style and the main factor is he is great left handed fighter and tremendous right hand as well. Pacquiao never hesitates throw lots of punches.

    No offense, but that's a rather simple take on things. Plus, Mayweather smoked Hatton, so you might as well take him off your list above. DLH was 116-112 minimum, but yea he gave Mayweather a little trouble and is one of the only 2 or3 of the 41 who can say that.

    How is mr short arms with no jab going to throw punches in volume when getting slip-countered and eating straight rights whenever he tries to put pressure on? You'll find Manny's "volume" to go down drastically, in a hurry!

    He only threw a little over 600 against Marquez in their second fight. A fight where, coincidentally, he was getting tagged clean when he tried to come in or open up. Shockingly, getting hit a lot causes your output to drop.

    He simply hasn't fought anyone since then he managed to put leather on him with any frequency.

    De La Hoya and Castillo both did one thing similarly, which bought them some rounds, and that was use their size advantage to push Mayweather around the ring and up against the ropes so they could open up and score points.

    Pacquiao isn't large enough to do that so he's going to have to find some other way to make Mayweather stand still long enough for him to throw some 12 hit Tekken combo. I don't think he's going to find that way, which is why I think he's going to lose.
