    i don't see how Floyd can legitimately win the fight unless he knocks Pac down a few times, or out (which is very possible). he's going to get outworked by a wide margin, that much is certain.

    :scaredas:

    • DLH - picking FMJ not MP, he says his heart is with MP but his head says FMJ
    • Cotto - doesn't really want to pick, but it's obvious he like MP more "the one that comes with no fear, that's going to be a winner"
    • Mosley - picking only slightly leaning FMJ,"could go either way"
    • Hatton - picking FMJ, based on Floyd's adaptability
    • Marquez - don't know what "waffling" is, he clearly is leaning toward FMJ based on, the great defense he has the ring IQ and excellent counterpunching abilities
    • Foreman - picking Pacquiao in a really close decision, "by 1 round" that could easily be a draw. Thinks MP will start strong FMJ will end the fight being in control.
    • Lennox - picks FMJ, thinks MP would not be able to catch Floyd "you can't catch it you can't hit it"
    • Hopkins - picks FMJ, he agrees with Foreman thinks first half of the fight is gonna be all action, until Floyd does the adjustments and win a close decision, that could also be that close to be scored a draw "Controversial Decision"

    Marquez really biased towards Mayweather

    No surprise considering how Pacquiaos greatest foe was Marquez and Marquez's worst boxing lesson came at the hands of Mayweather. Totally about styles though.

    Exactly. This, and they have also also all waffled several times throughout the years. Hatton first said in 2009 Mayweather would win, then in 2010 he changed his mind to say Pacquiao, then Mayweather thereafter.

    DLH has waffled a lot. He said at one point that Mayweather would KO Pac (though this was when they had a business association). DLH said a few weeks ago that he thought 5 years ago Pacquiao would have emphatically annihilated FM. That contradicts what he was actually saying 5 years ago that it was a 50-50 fight.

    I think Mosley is the only one who's been consistent with his pick all the way through.
