    The aggresiveness and workrate of Pacquiao was pretty impressive. He got caught. He was moving very well but decides to attack with 10 seconds left.

    A shot Cotto hurt Floyd, Pac would do better.

    Its simple man.

    They wont let go of this idea not because of their love for Manny, but moreseo of their hate for Floyd.

    Remember, the forum here on ESB is strictly for entertainment! Now yes, there are quite a few posters on here that have knowledge of the sweet science, but I'd say about 2/3 of the posters probaly couldn't shadow box for 3 mins straight, let alone decipher boxing match ups with a logical explanation to back up their thoughts. And no calling a fighter a Pu--y, Coward, etc.. does not constitute a logical explanation. I am not trting to act like my s--t dont stink either. There is also a lot of stuff I dont know about fighters and the sport itself (I am first and foremost, a fan of this great sport, like most of us here), but I know far more than I don't, beleive that!

    With that being said, I frequently log on to ESB though. The reason ... Pure COMEDY!:cool:

    I think Pac should be more scared. Bayless sounds like a Pac stalker. That fool is in love with Manny.

    The fight's end result looked bad, but I saw a hungry rejuvenated Pac. That was the Pac I wanted to see and that's the Pac that can beat Mayweather. Say all you want about the KO, but with the constant pressure with speed, stamina, accuracy and power is Mayweather's nightmare. I don't think Floyd has the power to throw a punch like the one that knocked Pac out.

    I like how people look at the Zab fight and say that's how Manny would beat Floyd. What people forget is that Floyd's ring IQ is off the charts. Against Zab, Floyd made the necessary adjustments and broke him down physically and mentally. What adjustments has Manny ever made in a fight, besides applying more pressure and throwing more punches? Manny has no physical advantages, except punching power. Besides, does anyone honestly think Floyd couldn't land that type of right hand shot that stopped Manny? I know Floyd is a complete d-bag outside the ring. No doubt about that, but anyone, Pac fan, Floyd hater or whatever, has to be honest with themselves about this fight. Manny is going to have to keep constant pressure and fire power shots that will mostly be blocked or avoided, while simultaneously worry about getting countered and running into a big shot like in the Marquez fight. That is a lot of energy to expend over the course of the fight. IMO Manny is going to have to work really really hard for little reward. All that stalking and feinting and power shots that miss or are deflected, while getting hit in return is going to take a toll. Manny isn't going to rattle Floyd and Manny has shown that he can be frustrated and get reckless. If they fight I have Floyd by late round stoppage or 10-2, 9-3 type decision.

    That expert also believes that Tebow can win a Super Bowl. Tebow is a back up qb btw.
