    Mayweather will school Pacman if/when they do fight.

    Everybody is fooled by the Pacman hype train.

    Pacman looks good against slow come forward sluggers.
    Hatton, Cotto, Margarito etc

    However in the second half of the Cotto fight, we saw what happens when an opponent fights backwards, PAcman couldnt finish Cotto at all, he got frustrated trying to chase him around and the ref did a mercy stoppage

    Floyd will beat him and easily too. you heard it here first :)

    The big question is, how will Mayweather deal with Pacmans speed, IF he finds a way past that, hes going to coast to victory. But Thats IF he can handle Pacmans speed

    I think that gets over-rated, he was still winning the rounds. Mayweather rarely finishes people. Calzaghe couldn't finish Lacy, still won.

    Boxings 80 percent mental and manny is maybe the strongest mentally in the game right now thats another good quality about him that helps a lot

    yes, but you cant ignore it

    Cotto was coming forward in the first few rounds and gets drop numerous times.

    He fights backwards during the rest of the fight and Pacman couldnt catch him. So obviously fighting backwards against Pac, MIGHT just be the style to beat him. Hence why a counter puncher like JMM gave him tougher fights. It maye be overstated, but you also cant ignore it.

    Look at Pacs other opponents, DLH,Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosely.....all come forward type fighters.

    You dont trade with a puncher. Similar to Tyson, the guys who beat him or went the distance didnt come forward or trade with him.

    Cotto was on back foot, basically running away from Pacman on those rounds but still got TKOd.

    Floyd must not stay on the ropes like what he did to Ortiz against Pacman.

    Pacman had a dead man in front of him from round 4 onwards. Cotto lasted that long because he didnt stand in front of Pac, (like he foolishy did for the first few rounds) he moved about. So there you have a hint, on how to at least survive against Pacman.

    He got stopepd by the ref, because PAcman was chasing ghosts for the last few rounds and Cotto wasnt doing much attacking

    The mere fact that he asked for additional tests exposed what he feels in fighting Pac.

    True.. But
    Schooling isn't happening.. ESP, since Ortiz had his moments and we all know pacs way better then Ortiz in everything..

    True but the only guy to give Pac real trouble recently was JMM & he wasn't fighting like Mosely or Cotto in the latter rounds. Also people say the only reason Wlad didn't land much on Haye was because Haye was in survival mode. It's easier to make someone look bad when you're in survival mode.

    Like how Naazim put it. "I know how to defeat Pacman."

    Mosley running the entire fight but hasn't won a round.

    If you want to take out Pacman? Put some punch output in there ala JMM.

    manny is different from other boxers eventhough pac doesnt mind floyd....floyd tries to get his attention and its not working, all he got was a lawsiut from pac...... PAC is inside floyds head ......the dude cant take it Pac messes floyds ego

    when the time FLOYD finds his balls.....pac will put it in his face , Filipinos dont talk to much the do it in the ring.......so stop using the "take the test slogan" its for pu$$!es.

    maybe he'll hang himself afterwards ...after a one dimensional with no skill asian boxer beats the his superior boxing skills.....lol

    Just because i'm a Pacquiao fan, it doesnt mean that i would allow that cloud my judgement when picking between two fighters, although i want pacquio to win, my rational faculty suggests mayweather will win the fight, i don't see no hypocrisy in that, for arguments sake say if i WAS a fan of audley harrison (which im not) and he was going to fight wladmir klitchsko, i would hope that he wud win the fight, but i would acknowledge that its unlikely, based on the opposition, i think anyone with a an iota of critical thinking would deduce that rather than blindly support anyone..

    Maidana beat Ortiz even worse.

    Ortiz was out boxed by Lamont Peterson 2 fights ago, Lamont Peterson is a nobody, he's not even top 3 at 140lbs.
