    Little easier to say it than actually do it.

    That's why he said "If".

    Not surprising, it's his style... but the whole thing is, pac is a lot smaller so can he?
    First must the fight been made, and it's far, far from that.

    pacquiao is a desperate dumbass waiting to meet his maker
     
  6. Manny needs to stop talking out his neck. That runt won't even agree to take drug tests to make the fight happen. Manny Pacquiao without PEDs = Bobby Paquiao. If they ever do get it on and he agrees to take the drug tests, he's gonna get dismantled. Pacquaio is not an exceptional boxer. He just has a huge punch.

    i don't see anything out of the realm of possibility on that statement, so can you enlighten us why do you call him a desperate dumbass?

    the important point here, is "can" he catch floyd like mosley did? i'm not trying to **** on pac coz i'm a big fan, but IMO if this fight happens, floyd will be on his best defensive night because this would be the first time he'd be facing an opponent who also has foot and handspeed at par or even better than him since zab judah. IMO he'll be more conservative with his punches compare to his mosley fight and potshot pac to a UD.

    i just hope that roach can make a very good strategy to deal with that defense.

    Are you saying Pacquiao is on PEDs? And PBF can beat him only if he's not on PEDs?

    So you are saying if Manny and Floyd fight right at this moment without any tests, Manny will beat Floyd? (apparently because he's on PEDs as you said).
     
  9. There's a very good chance that Pacquiao wins if he's on PEDs. It's no secret.

    Pacquiao will take those tests, and he probably will take a beating from Mayweather. Mayweather keeps saying he's the greatest. More will be believing him when all is said and done. Mayweather runs his mouth so much that they keep building up these guys that are supposed to be able to crush him. Pacquiao does not match up well with Mayweather. Pacquiao is a great fighter, but this is not a good matchup for him. Sure, he always has a puncher's chance. However, if he doesn't land that punch and land it early, he's going to probably get dominated against Mayweather.

    Thing is it would not have been easy to finish floyd off, its not like mosley wasn't trying or is not a good finisher when he has his man in trouble.

    Mayweather ability when hurt to keep as clear a head as possible and defend himself is great. Straight away he held on to mosley, when he then went to the ropes got his gloves up and started trying to roll with the punches taking the sting out. His head was cleared pretty quickly as well.

    It is also to be seen whether pac can hit as hard as mosley at welterweight, i doubt he can to be honest though pac is more likely to hit you with a punch you don't see

    The word IF is the key, Shane has Long arms, thats why I will continue to say cancel out ever stat across the board Floyd Arms from armpit to fist are still 5 inchs longer than Manny's and that is the thing he will not overcome everyone kept saying shane's arms are longer a friend of mine was shocked when he saw floyd still had a 2.5 in reach advantage I told him having long fingers dont count

    The same way he finishes Marquez after 3 knock downs in a round? He didn't even finish Cotto when he was back peddling scared, The Ref stoped it, but Mayweathers will to win can not be compared to those 2 I just mentioned.
