    The fight's not going to happen(primarily because of Floyd) so a moot point, but I definitely would never put any significant money down on Floyd getting a stoppage except for perhaps the Khan fight if that comes off in the future. Floyd is what he is, a safety-first fighter. That doesn't mean he can't knock Pacquiao out, but he's never going to extend the effort to do so unless he feels there is no danger factor whatsoever, which takes a lot. He's consistently proven that it doesn't matter what he says, he's going to adhere to that style and will not press for knockouts. And I don't think he can do any more than perhaps stun Pacquiao once or twice with his single-shot power as things stand.

    The flaw in your logic is the gloves. 8 vs 10.
    Cotto and Canelo were fought with 10 oz Gloves. Mayweather can hurt larger guys. He did hurt Cotto in the 12th.

    Good point. A lot of people don't even think about this.

    Hell yes! he would've put all of them into KO Status including Pacroid on the canvas. At 135lbs? Think about it sparky. If he could KO Corrales. Morales and MAB & Pac is a non issue.

    Corrales was draining to make 130 and not exactly iron chinned, good fighter but he wasn't Marvin Hagler in the mandible.

    I agree, OP. But people will chalk it up to Ariza and Memo.

    Despite the fact that Pac used Ariza for 5 years (When he was on his demolition path) and now using a former PED cheat Fortune? :patsch:rofl

    Hurt Maidana badly to the body in the first fight too. Think it was the 11th round.

    Floyd himself has said hes the bigger stronger fighter. He said he's surprised at how small Pac is.
