    After watching Manny's performance last night, who do you consider the favorite, if say these 2 fought in November?


    Take in account what you saw last night and how it would apply in this for right now... Fantasy matchup.

    manny doesn't know how to cut off the ring. Floyd is the master at fighting on the backfoot, and his jab prevents manny from going into mid range. manny has a little toy jab that will be countered by Floyd's left hook + right hand combo.

    Floyd out boxes Pac to a UD.

    Manny will get stung with the straight right all night.

    How anyone can give manny a chance agaisnt floyd after his performance is beyond me.Mayweather will make pacquiao look like he doesnt belong in the ring with him.

    As a Pac fan, I'll be rooting for him every time but if/when they do meet in the squared circle, FMJ will be the favorite going in, regardless of what happened last night. Being a Sin city resident, I also know that the odds always move depending on the bets that are made.

    Floyd in a close but clear SD because I think he will make the right adjustments.

    But I'm tellin you if Floyd just pot shots, I think he will get outworked by Pac. He has to throw or Pac will rack up the points.

    Mayweather boxes to a UD. Everyone knew Shane was washed the hell up.

    what the mosley fight has shown is that pac can also win a decision vs. a pot-shotting, back-peddling opponent.

    look at mosley's face after the fight.... he was running and back-peddling all night and he still got a much swollen face compared to the mayweather fight. that means pac was still hitting him w/ strong shots even with him back-peddling and in defensive/survival mode.

    every power shot pac hit mosley with, mosley clearly staggered even while he was back-peddling.

    that's why now i think pac can win vs mayweather either via decision or KO. before i wasn't sure if pac can win a decision vs a back-peddling, pot-shotting opponent but this mosley fight prove he can. but unlike the mosley fight, pac will no longer have to respect and be wary of his opponent's punching power.

    I dont see any ko for floyd but yes pac will definitely eat a lot of stiff jabs and counters. But if floyd catches a solid left or two from manny the way mosley was caught with the straight left, it's going to be a different story

    unloco picked draw



    I dont even know why I put that there. Do you know what would happen if this fight were a draw. I think the world would melt down.

    Thats actually an interesting analysis. If Floyd gets caught will he shell up? That in my way is one of the only ways I think Pacquiao wins,

    you really don't know much about the sport.

    The difference between mosley and floyd back peddling is that if mayweather was to do it, you can bet your rent that when pac comes in he gonna eat a straight right down the middle. Mosley didn't throw anything while back peddling so how you came to that conclusion is beyond me.

    Mosley showed the world how easy it is to turn pac and to keep him honest, marquez was the master at this. Floyd would take advantage of every mistake pac makes.

    I feel pac could knock floyd down early, but he better hope floyd stays down because if he get's up he gonna unleash the dragon.

    Floyd UD.

    pac will have a different game plan and approach when he fights floyd... just saying. You can't judge pac with his fight with shane.
