AO Spring 2010: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

Mayweather drops him early and stops Pacquiao late in the round. I dont think we will ever see the fight though.

 

Not this one. :!:

 

It is interesting that I noticed Pac eased out in the betting odds in a potential fight against Mayweather, so obviously the bookies thought they saw something wrong in Pac's win over Clottey.

 

Hopefully the below link will work for you, if it doesn't, let me know.

Before the Clottey fight, they had the odds as

Floyd 1.85
Pacquiao 1.95

Meaning that if you bet $1, you would win either 85c or 95 c.

Now the odds have changed to

Floyd 1.75
Pacquiao 2.00

50-50. Even if Floyd puts a boxing clinic on a shot Mosley.

 

:good agreed, but to be honest, after pac's win over hatton, i wasn't really sure how floyd would deal with manny, it was during/after the Cotto fight that i was convinced floyd would decision pac. Cotto was able to counter manny really well in the first 5-6 rounds(nevermind the knockdowns), Cotto was even able to dodge manny's punches @ one point(4th round). Now, even as big as a Cotto fan i am, truth is, Floyd is faster, more accurate and has way better defense than cotto. I see floyd landing more often and cleaner on Pac. IMO floyd would just feed off manny's aggression and counter him through out the whole fight.

 

What can I say raf, favoring fast volume-punching southpaws has usually served me well in the past. :good

On a serious note though, what's prompted my shift over to Pac after favoring Floyd in that fight for years is that I think Manny's got into Floyd's head bigtime. The worst culprit? Mayweather's own family, who has been planting that seed in Floyd's brain that it's impossible for anyone to have done what Pac's doing. It's been snowballing ever since. For the first time in Floyd's career, I think he legitimately feels he can lose, and that's a dangerous thought that is so far removed from his typical confidence that I can't ignore it.

Time will tell if I'm right or wrong, hopefully we just get the chance to see the ****ing fight made and may the best man win. :thumbsup

 

I still say Pacquiao TKO or UD.

 

Interesting stuff mate, thanks.

 

I only see two likely results: Pac TKO or Floyd UD. I don't see a Floyd KO as I think Pac can take Floyd's punches and due to Floyd's low workrate.

 

still here. i dont feel the need to repeat everything i say in every single thread. i dont need the attention that bad.
pac is going to take floyds heart by the halfway point and floyd will run worse than hoya did against tito the last 3 rds.
pac by decision unless floyds balls drop by then and then he gets ko.
the first time mosely hits floyd square and floyd jumps on his huffy, you will know what pac is going to do to him.
