    Ur an idiot. Learn boxing ***. Being a superior boxer doesn't mean you win. Styles make fights. Pac is all wrong for Floyd right now. He's in his prime, Floyd isn't. He's younger, faster, quicker on his feet. He's a southpaw. His offensive game is going to kill Floyd. What the **** can Floyd do, honestly? He throws 1 shot at a time, it'll be a straight right hand. Pac will eat it up and come back with 4 or 5. And you know he has the accuracy and combination punching to land on Floyd ,whether its to the body or the head. FLoyd's only advantage is his reach and height. In terms of size, they mostly likely aren't that far apart. Clottey is way bigger then Floyd and Pac didn't have a problem with him. If he decapitates Margo at 154 May weather will disappear from the sport.

    Floyd's not tough enough to deal with Pac and he doesn't havethe chin. He doesn't take enough risks either. This will look like a more competitive version of the Clottey fight, except Floyd's going to get hurt often, and the towels gonna get thrown in or referree stoppage midway-late through the fight.

    Too bad he won't even be around to be making any explanations on why emmanuel lost to Floyd after the fight happens.

    THIS
    normally i'd put money on Mayweather vs anyone but....

    i put money on pacquaio cuz i think the plausibility will come through.
    Roach has done a phenomenal job coaching Pac in breaking down an opponent's strengths and turning them into weaknesses. Pac's flexibility and the ability to apply a good game plan seems to be a winning way thats been rolling top elites.

    Mayweather's fighting style is very rigid and static. Its predicated wholly on speed and very repetitive, and Roach knows that. He also knows that timing(refer to Hatton KO) and angles overcomes speed too. And a great coach can teach his fighter to counter and abuse that repetitive behavior...

    When it comes down to it, its a style and mental mismatch for Mayweather. Though Pac is open to get hit easy, PBF's punches wont be hard enough to dismay Pac, and Pac doesnt mind get hit to get his in. and Pac WILL get his punches in, through angles and combinations. PBF does NOT like to get hit, and gets bothered by combos because he cant mitigate them easy. The only way i see PBF winning is becoming as aggressive as you've ever see him and stay in the pocket and war it out with Pac, cuz he's just gonna outpunch him and win by decision anyways.

    This will happen because of Pac's "Relentless" factor, imo Floyd's afraid of dealing with. He depends on his speed to control and mentally break his opponent. He knows he cant do that to Manny though...

    This thread shows that most people will put their money on Mayweather but he just won't man up.

    Hi,,,
    My vote is with the Mayweather,he is no doubt one of the greatest boxer I have ever seen.
    I cannot forget his match with the Big show,badly punished by worlds largest athlete but in the end he won the match.

    Pac has absolutely no mental edge on PBF, he doesn't understand or see boxing the same way PBF does, period. The only guy I would even consider in the neighborhood is Hopkins and even that is somewhat of a stretch to me. He's been born and bred to be what he is, it's the only education he's really got, he's not going to get out thought in the ring.

    In terms of Pac's combo's and work rate, it will drop, history shows this and it has been well established and beat to death.

    I believe you are mistaken in your assessment of PBF's offense and it's predictibility is overstated and in some ways misguided. Roach isn't going to "trick" or "time" PBF, because much of what PBF does is instinctive and without rhyme or reason, which makes him so difficult for other guys to figure out.

    What about Roach's assessment that Floyd's shoulder roll defense won't help him much against a lefty? Floyd was also a little more stationary in his last fight.

    I wouldn't put $1,000 on this fight. Too close to call. But if I have to, with those odds I'll put it on Packy.
