    Are you concerned that your mom has to go back to ***** island? If not, then dont be concerned about this as Pacman will make it a very entertaining fight, even if he has to chase down Floyd.

    Mayweather's style is gonna ruin the fight for Pac fans. Its going to be so frustrating for them watching their man get picked apart with ease by a master technician.

    You're right Pacman is a beast, and to say that Floyd is in another level we shall find out about that after the fight. It took Floyd 10 rounds to beat Hatton, remember that? However, it only took Manny 2 rounds to knock Hatton out. Manny has proven it many times and people still doubt him, such as yourself, because people think FMW's boxing skills will be too much for Manny. Hatton is not equals Pacman, so the arguement that Floyd will beat Pacman like Hatton is illogical. I am not underestimating Floyd's ability to box because he is however talented, but Pacman is relentless and probably as fast as Floyd. So think about this, the same speed and throws more punches whilst the other throws pot shot. Who do you think will make more damage? Even if Manny only lands 5 out of his 11-12 punch combo but one of those 5 punches will be hard enough to make some damage and make Floyd even more defensive. Once he is trap his body will pay for it, especially that left shoulder of his. Manny's left cross/upper cut will eventually dislocate it.

    I voted "unsure", because I don't think it relies solely on MW's style, but obviously how his style winds up interacting with Pac's.

    IMO, I see the fight going one of three ways (from the casual fans' perspective):

    Pac wins - Casual fans say "Boxing is back!"
    Mayweather dances to a UD - Casual fans say "That sucked!" and get turned off
    Mayweather wins by KO or in a manner where he engages Pac & outboxes w/o running - Casual fans say "Boxing is back!"

    Floyd is NOT a safety first fighter. Floyd is a defensive genius who can turn to offense in a flash and many of you know this. The TS is a Calzaghe fan so wtf is he even talking about lol... I don't care if you guys like brawlers or toe to toe guys. Those who think Floyd stinks it up style wise need boxing 101. If you know anything, anyone who comes at Floyd will get countered. Baldy and Dlh were just too big for Floyd, and stopping those two was hard to do. Everyone else gets countered beautifully. Pac coming at Floyd is either going to turn out to be very smart of very dumb depending on who you like. So far, Floyd is undefeated, so I'm going with it's dumb to follow Floyd. you want to see dumb, peep this:

    It's called boxing, not knockouts or bar room brawling.....

    I find floyd entertaining, i'm not a hardcore floyd fan....but if your a fan of boxing I don't know how you can call the man boring...

    only problem is: FLoyd never been in the ring with a fighter like Pac, and vice versa. Cotto has been in vs great fighters, never had to backpeddle like he did and get a beat down like that since Margo (point being: Pac made Cotto, a greater fighter, do something he never does-backpeddle and try and survive). I like Pacs chances. He just might be that guy that gives Floyd his first loss. I know he will definitely fair better then ODH and Hatton due to his stamina, combos, and ability to take a punch. And both ODH and Hatton did quite well were it not for stamina-ODH and weak chin-Hatton (Hatton all around just a shitty boxer)

    **** you idiot. Didn't Roach say pac will knock him out:lol:

    Didn't Roach say he was the easiest of the 3 top welterweights :lol:

    Pac superman right, and is as fast as the flash :lol:

    Surely he could catch a guy wearing track shoes right? :lol:

    The amount of excuses coming from you guys already its hilarious.

    I think it just hit you that Pac about to get schooled just as bad as Pavlik got schooled by hopkins.

    I cant wait for this fight to go down, for someone who runs all night, your boys face sure gonna look busted up :rofl:rofl

    Same thing that Gatti was going to do (yes, not the same level as Pac) - but by the same logic, Pac could break his hand too.

    The best bet for Pacman is to cutoff the ring and beat Floyd also in the middle of the ring. With accumulation of punches (assuming he can land to the body too) in the later rounds, take Floyd in to a depth he's never been before. Make him use his heart.

    It is a tough fight to call - but things are not as simple as you stated.

    I see it being tense but not exciting if you know what I mean , Can Pac overpower May or find the key to his defence ?? but of course Hagler Hearns it will not be.

    Horses for course Pac v Cotto was all action this will be a different type of exciting

    I'm telling you, showing big fights at bars are usually not worth it for the owner. I go to this bar that's my normal Fri-Sat night spot. Big place, classy, and ALWAYS packed with Filipino's, blacks, and a mix of other races. I know the owner rather well, I NEVER pay for anything I drink or eat there...I brought up the fact that he should throw Fight Nights and that it should do well because of how busy his place gets. He said despite the normal head count he gets, it's just not worth it given the price the cable company charges. They charge the place to it's legal capacity per head or something...his place is huge so in order to make any money off the event, it would have to be a place full of people packed like sardines.

    The problem is how smart or intelligent do you think PAC is in the ring?

    Does Pac have a plan B, if his brawling, 10 punches per second style wont work?

    That's the biggest fear most of you pacsters should be concerned about. Because if Pac is unable to adapt in the ring to a style which is more elusive than anything he has encountered before then this whole thing about PAC being 1 dimensional is gonna ring true. Hell some might even say he was always overrated. LOL
