    like the same way it was a shame that pac-clottey was bout to happen and everybody was talking about mayweather-mosley

    well mayweather weighed 2lbs over the 144lb catch weight and it cost him 600,000

    yeah that was pretty disrespectful for a boxer to do. The catchweight at 145 was agreed to by both fighters and both fighters came in at weight has nothing to do with coming in over weight

    Manny looks good vs fighters that have no defense, he has a hard time with counter-punching. HMMM Floyd is the best fighter in boxing in those two areas.:huh

    Really how is that, Pac KOs at 147 is against a damaged Cotto who tired himself out trying to force a KO only to run out of steam. Hatton's chin and defense has alway been shaky along with his conditioning. Floyd has yet to be KOed and Its highly doubtful that he will run out of steam down the stretch fighting many and then let himself get KOed.

    All n all Manny is not on punch KO artist of the likes of Tommy hearns or Julian Jackson you guys are trying to make him out to be, Manny has to work for his KOs and Floyd has a very good chin.. It not as simple as you make it out to be far from it.

    I see Floyd being able to KO emmanuel since emmanuel is a small welterweight. Remember this is the guy whose head was getting snapped back by Cotto's jabs.

    I don't see Floyd getting KO'd by pac. Mayweather doesn't have the mentality to get KO'd. If he gets hurt he'll readjust and play safer. His defense is class A **** and he's very elusive. His chin isn't some glass house like people wish for it to be either. He's much smaller than Oscar, but his neck is way thicker. He wouldn't let emmanuel work through his elusiveness, multi dimensional defense, chin, and heart. He hasn't taken much damage throughout the years, so he still has his punch resistance.

    Mayweather is much more accurate than Cotto. Even though he does not look like he got a lot of power all his former opponents showed respect based on that accuracy.

    Manny could win based on activity but you win a fight with the punches that actually land. Also Manny output will drop when he will face Mayweather.
    Mayweather accuracy is the big factor, not his power. Also as he is so not used to throw power shots, I noticed that he throws looping power shots (that was the case in the Gatti and Marquez fight)
