    And Floyd has never been in a ring with an unorthodox, wrecking, relentless, non-stop punching, offensive machine like Pac. If that fight happens he will be in a rude awakening.

    after the Pac-Cotto
    i became more sure pac will be beat by Floyd,

    Cotto could have made it difficult for Pac, early on in the fight if he didnt brawl with him
    Also
    Floyd's Defence > Pac defense

    this really is a battle of the best defense in the world versus the best offense isnt it. and that s what makes a great matchup. i think floyd has problems for pac- but pac poses just as many for floyd. people are already forgetting what he has just done- and how he did it. floyd dosent beat up cotto like that. no-one does. pac isnt just a normal unorthodox slugger with speed. he s a freak- with amazing spirit. as is floyd. this is literally the very best two humans at what they do- on earth at their peaks - meeting each other. how often does this happen- that two prime, athletes-, in the same sport, same size, !?!

    like- Bird, Magic- it dosent happen often ...

    Yes, I wasn't sure if Pac could take a punch from a True WW, but he proved that he's got a chin to go along with his other amazing attributes. Like a 5-tool player in baseball, he can do everything.

    I think it would be a very interesting fight. I wanted Cotto to win but for some reason I figured Pacman would pull it out. I am really kinda starting to like Pacman. I think he would have a good chance at beating Floyd....

    we now know, pac can take WW punches. that's all that's changed.

    Stylistically, pbf wins. All he needs are 7 rounds of boxing on the backfoot to win. If he gets caught, he'll leave it be and focus on standing till the bell, then the next round go back to boxing out of range. That's all he needs to do, just 7 rounds and he'll get the D from most judges.

    Pac has the more difficult/frustrating task of bringing the fight to Floyd, he'll probably only win by KO cause his dancing isn't as great as Floyd's.

    As a calculated gamble, I'd bet on Floyd 70-30. But will probably be too greedy and bet on the underdog instead.

    The fight went pretty much as expected (i predicte pac ko8) but i thought Cotto might drop pac. This fight changed my opinion on pacs ability to handle a puncher at welter,and he proved it!!!!!! So all these haters got to STFU on his ko losses at 106!

    It has a bit... at first I thought it would be Mayweather-JMM part 2. But Manny proved he can handle the power of a welter.

    I think it will be a decision, and it all depends on how well Manny can handle Pretty Boy's reach. If Manny can get to PBF, Manny should be able to sway the judges his way. If Pretty Boy keeps him at bay, it'll go to Money Mayweather.

    I'm taking Mayweather though.

    I bet Mayweather will get robbed of that victory if he did it that way:lol: I mean, this wont exactly be the " Mayweather show "
