    Floyd got a gift decision against Castillo and if you have two eyes and the capability to think objectively you'd be able to see that for yourself. Thats like saying Cotto beat Clottey. Yeah he got the decision but we all know who won that fight.

    Floyd won the first 6 rounds of that fight and you are basing your feelings on the commentating of Merchant and Lampley. Plus you fail to add to your point that Floyd came into the fight with an injured shoulder and came out and beat him in the rematch as well. Get over it.

    How come no one ever factors in that emmanuel will be weakened from drawing blood if they ever do fight?

    Respond to the rest of my post. Why are you using an 8yr old fight aginst Castillo in your analysis. Thats just stupid. If that's the case I can say Pacquiao lost to Sinsurat, and got gifts against Marquez and therefore he will lose. Explain how the Castillo fight is even relevant seeing as how Floyd got the decisions, and then beat him again in the rematch.

    Your points are clear , but from what I can see you only see one argument, and considering this is about the two best fighters on the planet , I would think a 60/40 point of view would be a better balance , than your 90/ 10 - 100/ 0 ratio in Floyds favour.

    Floyd beating Castillo was as close as Manny beating JMM , both won but were very very close.

    Your missing my point. I don't care if Castillo had stopped Floyd, the damn fight was 8 yrs ago. Its stupid to judge fighters like Floyd and Manny on their old fights. Plus that guy was being one sided. he was trying to judge Floyd based off of the Castillo fights which was 8yrs ago, but he didn't mention anything about Pac's struggles with Marquez or being outboxed by Morales. If the Castillo fights proves something, then the Marquez and Morales fights prove something about Pac. You can't have it both ways.

    he is more skilled. But Pacquiao has better combinations and is faster. And manny has better power in my opinion. Floyd has better defense and better single shot speed.

    yep.

    mainly with this being said the advantage is like ery other guy manny fought

    Reach, height not even weight anymore

    Floyd knows how to use his reach and retain his height better then Margo,Cotto was there someone else pac fought? nah. Its gonna be a hard test but this **** is either going 2 ways
    Either Manny can walk through mayweather straight right or he cant
    the guy to beat floyd is the man to walk through that right hand

    Pacs a machine and it be fun to watch him try

    No way. Floyd's footwork is the best in the business. Pac just recently improved his balance. Don't let Pac's last few opponents fool you into thinking that he's flawless. He still has many things that a counterpuncher like Floyd could exploit. Pac has not fought a style like that in a long time, and he'll have all kinds of issues against Floyd.

    People seem to think that more skilled fighters are unbeatable. Take a look at "The Brawl In Montreal".
