    I've always thought if this fight happened Floyd would be too smart for manny, he's too good at what he does best! Picking opponents apart, covering up well, speed and using awkward angles, always doing enough to win rounds.

    Manny comes to fight! He has speed and punch output that will give Floyd plenty of problems more so than anyone Floyd has ever faced.

    It's a great fight and a tough one to pick a winner.

    I can see Floyd just about doing enough to win this fight.

    I'm a fan of both and just really looking forward to watching this one, I just hope it lives up to everything we hoped for.

    Who are you picking and how?

    Floyd on points, quite wide too imo, 9-3 or somewhere around there

    pac couldn't figure out marquez in 4 fights, floyds bigger, stronger and quicker than marquez, and will probably use similar tactics.

    pac's opposition in the last 3/4 years to me has been poor (for P4p fighter), and has constantly bought fighters up a division or two, whilst fmj has been fighting people like canelo, maidana etc who are bigger than him and still winning convincingly.

    pac is not going to let mayweather breath , he will be all over him every second of every round , floyd will be hit more times in this fight than hes ever been hit before .

    Not a fan of either and I believe I could make a case for both winning.

    At this moment in time I would probably say Mayweather by decision in a safety first performance, rather boring too.

    But, I would like to see Pacquiao win, I think Mayweather needs to be humbled.

    Mayweather, and easily.
    Pac is great if you try and walk him down, but make him come forward, he lunges in recklessly.
    He's going to get a lesson here.
    Marquez should be 4-0 v Pac, and there's a reason for that.
    Mayweather is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter than Marquez, and I think he's winning 9-3, and that's only as he'll give Pac a round or 2 as he studies him.
    School is going to be well and truly open here.

    Just thinking that before, wonder what odds. I fancy Pac to win, stylistic problem for Floyd.

    Pacman is a great boxer and a legend but am sorry to say he will be punching thin air all night and it will be a wide points decisions by PBF.

    that I think Manny Pacquiao will dominate Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I know it sounds premature but the relenteless handspeed of Pacquiao will dominate the rounds.

    PAC on points he will win on work rate alone, throw threes and fours and get out of range, exactly how he fought de la Hoya
