    Floyd couldnt beat an old oscar one sidedly. COuldnt get hatton out for 10 rounds, and Hatton shaved at least a couple of rounds off too. Couldnt beat Zab Judah one sidedly. Grandpa Mosley almost put him on his ass. Get real son.

    Mayweather is better than Marquez. Both are counter punching defensive boxers. Pacquiao is a pressure fighting swarmer. Pressure fighting swarmers always have trubble with counter punching defensive boxers.

    No disrespect, but I get a bit of a kick out of people that see just how badly Pac struggles to beat a 38 year old jmm, in a weight he shouldnt be at, getting countered and getting frustrated by JMM judging distance, knowing when to fight and when not to, and excellent counterpunching, and think that no parralells should be drawn to how a fight with Jr would go.

    Its really not that hard to see for ones self, during the fight, how and why Mayweather would dissect Pac. People can overanalyse it all they want with the 'Mayweather is not Marquez'.

    Youre right.... Mayweather isnt JMM.

    Hes younger
    Hes bigger
    Hes faster
    Hes more powerful
    Hes more skilled
    He has a better D

    He is simply a superior, superior fighter in every way.... and the thing that quite a few people arent getting about mayweather is

    He can fight his opponents any way he wants to fight them. People saying Mayweather doesnt do this, or doesnt do that, is kinda a non point.

    Mayweather goes through the gears until he finds the one that works, he goes through styles until he finds one that works, and then he keeps it there once in control and never really changes. That doesnt mean he cant fight in another way. People thinking that Mayweather cant fight the way he needs to to beat Pac are underrating Mayweather to an embarresing degree.

    Mayweather can stay on the outside and pot shot, he can be in the pocket and dissect you, he can counter you while circling and boxing off the backfoot, he can walk you down as effectively as anyone else in the sport today... throwing fast, accurate shots and cutting off the ring better then just about anyone as well.

    My pick before the jmm fight was Mayweather TKO 10. After seeing Pac struggle to beat JMM this last time, I am even more sure he doesnt beat Mayweather and gets stopped in the process.

    That being said, that is just my opinion, and that doesnt reflect who Ill be rooting for. I hope the fight gets made (it wont), and if it does I will be rooting hardcore for Pac to stop Mayweather (he wont). I am a fan of Pac and want him to win the most defining fight boxing has had in recent history....

    However, the reality is Pac has become great by beating guys he wasnt supposed to beat. If he could pull one more off, and this one being the biggest one of all, it would be amazing.
