    Floyd's offense will be very limited against Pac.

    Hopkins has also been on record saying no white boy will ever beat him and Shawn Porter is the total package, so all due respect to him, I'll make up my own mind.

    floyds lack of workrate during the first 2 rounds pretty much means its his opponents for the taking. pac will obviously know this and bag them. i agree as the fight drags on floyds only going to get better and sharper. this honestly has all the tell tail signs of a nailbiter

    Everything predicates on how Pac comes out, if he comes out fast Floyd will counter...if he sits back, floyd will take charge. Pac can't win. What's funny is when a boxer says something positive for Pac, we don't know what the hell we are talking about. Now Hop says this, and look what they are saying lmfao!

    Wont be a nailbiter.
    I think Mayweather will show Pacquiao who's the Alpha dog early. I think Mayweather will hurt Pacquiao the first couple of rounds and with KTFO6 being in Pacquiao's mind, he'll fight to survive and will be un-aggressive the rest of the way.

    One thing thats being underestimated by most is Mayweather's physical strenghth advantage over Pacquiao.
    Mayweather will cover up defensively and Pacquiao wont be strong enough to physically move Mayweather.
    When Pacquiao feels Mayweather's physical strenghth advantage combined with the speed and quickness that Mayweather posseses, Pacquiao will be intimidated and fight safe.

    To put it in Pac**** terms, "Pacquiao dont want to taste canvas again!" :lol:

    He says back and forth for the first 6.

    Implying an even fight until 6 where Floyd takes over.

    Shock news in America !!!

    Black man supports Black man.

    In other news a new invention has hit the market allowing the user to communicate whilst not being in the same vicinity. People are calling it the 'Telephone' experts think it might catch on.

    once Floyd tasted the speed and power of PAC, after 3 rounds Floyd will be in defensive/retreat mode. bet on that, it will be a boring fight, much worst than algieri fight

    B-Hop knows what's up. Pac's chin is going to get tested because he doesn't have the defense to protect it; and that porcelain chin is going to fail.

    Pac****s are going to go crazy when Floyd breaks Pac down. Breaks him down and knocks him out.

    pac's chin has been tested, he took the best shot from cotto and margarito,
    jmm's timely punch that kd pac, any boxer will be ko'ed to that. shoulder roll defense won't work this time, I think PAC's left hook that kd hatton will be a big problem to Floyd. also floyd's offense and legs at this time slows down a lot.

    great post and whilei have mayweather as a slight favorite, you´d have be an idiot to disagree with your sentiments.

    the only difference that maidana brings to the table, is size and strength, where as pac is smaller and physically not as strong. Usually strength and size is only a part of the equation, but in this one, i see it as a very big part of it.

    Floyd didnt control maidana in the clinches, maidana was too strong and too wild, but pac is smaller and less powerfull in the clinch. He can and will control pac in the clinches and thats why i have him winning the fight.

    i think mayweather will "hatton" pac, simply do a punch/quick combo or let pac step in, tie up and use his strength, size and his much better clinch game to win.

    the thing that does make this intriguing though, is the reasons you mentioned in your post.

    I have may a slight favorite. If i say something like 7-5 in rounds, that would leave floyf with a 58.22% chance of winning and pac with 41.66 which sounds both realistic and fair.

    hopkins is a clown, cant stand that racist, so couldnt care less what that ****** thinks.

    And in other news. Filipinos again are all jumping on the formerly knocked unconscious champ Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiaos bandwagon. They had all left the minute Juan Marquez knocked Pacquiao out in 5+ rounds, but it seem that they are back. Are you surprised John?

    John: About as surprised at a lion hating raw meat.

    Triple G's fans have driven in droves and most of not all have jumped on the bandwagon of Manny Pacquiao. Just recently we had an event where Pacquiao's fans did the same when Golovkin fought Martin Murray in Monte Carlo. You know that Prince Albert held...

    Bob: John we don't have time for...(gets cutoff by John)

    John: What has caused this massive temporary exodus, heritage Bob.

    Bob: oh yes, considering that the Chinese and Russians live so close to the Philippines, It's a natural that they side with Pacquiao when he faces Floyd Mayweather. John, I don't have a problem with it. Just only in the posters who try to hide their objectivity when covering this fight, John.

    John: Well, the whole continent of Africa to no surprise has joined up with Muhammad Ali to support Floyd Mayweather, but in training Floyd says, "I don't need none of you to support me. I can be by myself and you can root against me and I'll still win"...while hitting the heavy bag.

    John: Self motivation at its best!
