    Potshotting isn't the way to beat Manny which is what Floyd will do.

    Depends what kinda southpaw your talking about, a cute counter puncher like Judah, or an aggressive guy like Pac who gives up his southpaw advantage by being so aggressive. Cotto and Morales were able to counter Manny, and they are hardly refined counters punchers by trade.

    Floyd wont have to apply pressure to get his offense going against Manny, cause Manny will create Floyd's offense with his aggression.

    Thats an interesting point, I think Mayweather might have to get some respect out of Manny at one point, whether he does that by consistently countering Manny, which makes him think twice about throwing, where he can hurt Manny, whether he can be more aggressive, will be interesting to see, cause as good as Mayweather's legs are, not sure he can keep moving all night, and I dont think he can rest on the ropes either.

    How about Corley? Floyd countered him a bit but fought aggressive as hell to get to him. Same with mitchell. There's a reason Floyd fights like that against southpaws.

    Morales didn't counter pac so much as keep him off balance / out of range and land combinations. Cotto countered Manny a bit in the early going, until PAcquiao figured him out .

    Floyd may have some success countering, but he's not going to find enough spots to be consistent enough to hurt Pacquiao or to win the rounds. Floyd is way too cagey at this stage anyway. He would rather minimize the risk of him getting hit then take a chance trying to counter a fast handed fighter especially a southpaw.

    Yeah, but its because those guys like to counter punch, they like to bring you onto counters, Manny is not that type of southpaw, as I say, Manny will create Floyd's offense, Floyd was only aggresive in those fights cause he had to create his own! offense because they have more of a counter punching style than Manny.

    ^ I think FLoyd is way to cagey and reluctant to get hit to win a fight like that against Manny. He needs to show a lot of movement , stay behind the jab and land combinations to gain Manny's respect. The Floyd who fought Corley and Mitchell would have success but also stand the risk of getting caught with something big. Today's Floyd is 100x more cautious , and that's why Pac will beat him.

    Your acting as though Mayweather is going to allow Manny to run him outta the ring. Mayweather is a fighter at the end of the day, and its not as though the ring is round, Mayweather will ask Manny if he can cut the ring down, and do it, without! getting nailed on the way in, which is a lot harder than I think your anticipating, as Manny can be very predictable when on the offense, and he is easy to hit.

    I have seen Manny stop throwing when he starts getting countered consistently, also, I think your underestimating Mayweather's power, not that he's a big punches, but if Manny comes in hard and fast, who is to say he wont get hit with something he doesn't see? Mayweather is a % fighter, the more you throw, the more he will throw.

    Popkins is always over Manny's nuts. He's kidding himself if he doesn't think he's biased. I bet he wouldn't think you're biased if you made all threads about how Manny will beat Floyd due to his style

    I have made threads before which prove my knowledge and objectivity. Serious posters know this. The only thing you have made is an arse of yourself with your shitty fanboy posting.

    I'm proud to be a Pacquiao fan, but that doesn't mean I adore all Pacquiao fans same as I don't dislike all Mayweather fans.

    I think along similar lines myself. Guys on this thread are making out as if Floyd is going to storm out like ****ing young Ray Leonard, when it's not in his nature to do so when he senses danger. This fight, more than any other fight, is going to make Floyd go out determined not to get hit and hurt, and that means negativity from the first bell to the last, serious serious safety-first. Floyd will get outworked.

    Maybe if you had come into the thread making a better case of why you think Manny will win instead of attacking others for having a difference of opinion you would get some respect.

    I applaud [url]GANDER TASCO[/url]. He came in with some valid points on why he believes Manny wins. If we had more fans like these, we would be able to have a civil discussion for a change when it pertains to Floyd and Manny.

    floyd has many ways to win.thats rubbish to reluctant to get hit.the best opponent will get the best out of him.he doesn,t have to box the way ur saying to win.front foot,back foot,run or have a war u most know the guy can do it.if he,s not giving away height,reach,weight or ability nobody can touch him,
