I agree. But I see the bookies probably having it even, maybe even may as a 2-1 favorite.

 

Pac by Ko Rnd9 in a competitive fight...Pac's high pressure in n' out style and workrate will get to Mayweather late in the fight..

 

:rofl

 

Mayweather by TKO.

After watching the way he walked down Mosley I think stylistically that would be a nightmare for Pacquiao, Floyd will use his height and strength advantage to smother him and unlike Mosley Manny doesn't have a clue when to hold, so he'll be eating serious amounts of leather and finally buckle under the constant pressure.

 

Something else I would like to touch up on his on how posters are saying that " workrate" is the key to beating Mayweather...Thats playing right into Floyd's hands when you try to use pressure as a weapon...Pac doesnt have the jab to offset Floyd's rythem...If Pac keeps on applying uneducated pressure ( meaning not working behind a stiff jab) then he's going to get his ass handed to him.

Workrate is not the key and you guys are going to be in for a shock...Floyd makes people "workrate" decline for when they're facing him...The #'s dont lie.

I like Mayweather to soundly beat him if not stop in the 11th or 12th round!:good

 

votes are 134 May to 89 Pac with 3 people seeing a draw.

thats funny to see with all of the Floyd hate goin on.

 

i think people who claim workrate as the answer for Floyd say that because boxing is absolutely out of the question against him.

seems like your only realistic shot is pressure.

 

:deal

Thats pretty much where my head is at when it comes to May. I mean, I don't see ANYONE today with pure boxing ability that rivals his up or down the weights, barring Chad Dawson.

So for me yea, 1200-1300 punches look like the only way to keep it close with Mayweather, hoping that you can land more clean shots on Money than not. That or get May to fight above his weight class.

 

if the gameplan was as easy as going in there and outworking him he'd have a loss by now. You guys make me laugh

 

atsch

I dunno if I'm speaking for everyone, but alot of people are saying, having a freakishly high workrate mixed with stamina (that pac has), will keep the fight at least CLOSE.

I know I never once said "if pac can outwork mayweather he will win".

 

He already does. The first Castillo fight. Anyways to say either of them suck is laughable and both stylewise are nightmares for each other. Both will have their moments, are close to their primes, and don't depend on punching power alone to win. Both bring many factors to the table that it is not very clear how one might win over the other. I don't think Pac's power will be the factor here, but it will keep Floyd on the backfoot at times when he really doesn't have to be and like always will come on strong late.

He's going to try to capitalize on Pac's mistakes, but will underestimate Pac's own counterpunching abilities and that's where Floyd will get caught. I think both have shown they have great chins so their won't be any knockdowns or ko's. I think both will be attacking the body alot with Floyd landing the cleaner 1-2's and Pac being the busier. It will be a split decision for Pacquiao. They have a rematch and Floyd gains more confidence and probably puts on his best performance and gets his revenge.

Whoever wins this it is stupid to think it will be easy for either one of them. They are both fighting on the highest level of boxing to be taken lightly.

 

Mayweather stops Manny, and in the middle rounds.
Mannys workrate wont compensate for his mistakes against the best fighter of hi generation, and he'll get punished for every mistake, dropped and then stopped.

 

depends on the fight style Mayweather chooses to employ.....
I can see winning by a complete shutout by dancing around whilst potshotting,
I can see him (maywether)getting broken into a zillion peices if he fights the way he fought Mosely.

Mosely didnt try and hit the arms of mayweather but you can bet your house that pacman will tee off on whatever is available,including then arms. I expect mayweather to counter right back with brilliantly timed Rights,but i can see his jab being taken away from him by way of injured arm muscles.
This is what makes a great fight! 2 very good fighters .....only one will win.:deal

 

Pac late TKO

 

I can definitely see this being included in the fight plan. :good
