    I keep thinking can Mayweather outpoint Manny over 12 rounds?, Manny's punch output and work rate is very high, can Mayweather match or out punch him?. I know Mayweather slips and blocks alot of shots but Manny dont stop punching and is very accurate with his shots in out fast.

    mayweather is one of the fittest fighters in the world right now, he won't throw as many punches, but, I believe, will land more punches.

    He can make Pac drop his workrate as Marquez did

    exactly, don't be fooled by Pac's latest 2 fights, which flattered him. He's good but the real class operators use the brain and talent. DLH and especially Hatton are badly lacking there and size of fanbase cannot cancel that out in the ring.

    Yeh Mayweather is by far the fittest fighter in the world today ive heard he spars 15x7minutes rounds with 3 partners a round.

    Cannot wait to see him in training next week.

    I think if anything Manny will not be able to handle someone thats as fast as him.

    It also appears that both Arum and Roach do not fancy the Mayweather fight to be honest. Mayweather is saying Manny will accept no less that a 70-30 split in his favour and Roach is saying he wants Manny to have 1 more fight in October, know full well Floyd will not be ready to fight again until November or December.

    I would also rather see Floyd vs Mosley/Cotto

    I think PBF will knock him clean out. Floyd is definitely accurate enough to land plenty of shots and Pac looked a little bit shook up when Hatton landed even if it was brief lol

    Yes. He is a fitness freak who has a high workrate even if he doesn't have a high punch output. Floyd had no issues with Chavez or N'dous workrate. Both can and did throw abotu 100 punches a round.

    Floyd hasn't fought for 18 months. I don't give a damn who you are, you will have rust and you will have lost a bit of your edge after that time.

    So I think it highly unlikely he's the fittest boxer in the world.

    he might not have the same sharpness as he had 18 months ago but his train ing he does between fights is as hard as some bxers train for fights

    Floyd would make Cotto look silly, don't see why people can't see that.
