    He wont have to fight aggressively against Manny, cause Manny will make Mayweather look like the southpaw by being so aggressive.

    Whats the point in discussing pacs chin anyway, floyd will not ko him. Its better to talk about how floyds chin would hold up if manny lands that right hook or left on him.

    You are assuming that Floyd will just be standing there in front of him after the first 2 come at him? Thats the problem. Floyd will not be a sitting duck!

    I boxed before and can tell you haven't based on your response! Not pulling rank on you either! The point is that power can be zapped! That doesn't mean you let a fighter hit you cause their power is zapped dude! Get real!

    This is boxing, stranger things have happened.

    Almost anyone can pick/land the perfect shot, and hit someone on the right spot for a KO. If Mayweather can time Pacquiao and use his momentum (just like Pacquiao did to Hatton) to pick a perfect right hand, he could have Pacquiao in serious trouble, or even KO'd.

    Same goes for Pacquiao.

    Don't forget that Floyd knows all the old school tricks as well! He will land on Manny and shove his ass or push him to the side and all kinds of **** to frustrate Manny. I think Manny should have fought someone like Marquez or Berto instead of Margo just to give him something different than what he has been fighting as of late! When he faces Floyd he will be in for a shock! He will be fighting a guy who has the same mind when it comes to boxing as his own trainer!

    Floyd Sr also doesn't like him to fight south paws. Manny is a very fast south paw. But also has his faults. Floyd is adaptable and very accurate. Manny is fast nd creates good angles. Which can get through that great defense. This is why it makes for a good fight. What has to be seen is which game plan comes across on the night.

    Reasons why Manny wont win........

    Reach disadvantage

    Leaky defense

    No jab.

    Mayweather's use of his legs.

    Yeah and Roger cleared that up by saying that Floyd Sr. doesn't know how to train against southpaws. "Why you think his son trains with me." Roger Mayweather

    You are right! Now most Pacquiao fans will say that Manny has been beating guys who are bigger and have the reach advantage but they fail to realize that Floyd will actually use his advantages. The jab is what will mess up Manny's speed and timing and the crazy thing is that they don't think Floyd can hurt Manny and they will be shocked!

    Even with Roger he had trouble with Zab at the start. But did adapt very well. Manny has the skills to exploit this again. But it could be that Manny troubles him initially but Floyd figures him out and adapts again and frustrates manny. Which makes him easy to counter and be outboxed.

    One thing about Zab that I don't see anyone saying is the fact that Zab and Floyd use to sparr with each other and know each other very well!

    not only what everyone else was saying, but that was the floyd who had his legs.some say he aint the same and not as fast.can floyd be on the decline from getting older and inactivity ?

    its something about a fast right hook out of the southpaw stance that can catch floyd.roach needs to figgure out what it was that got mayweather hit in his fights and try to put him in the same postions again.he might have a master plan but you know what i think mayweather will beat manny.sorry but i just think floyd has heart and i know you guys dont think so.but i respect his skills, plus he dont ven like to show when hes hurt.
