    It will make for an exciting fight because Floyd won't be running. His granite chin will be right in front of Pac's china chin.

    I disagree.. Floyd can fight, and he can be a warrior when he wants to be and i think hes going to trade with Pac more then the Pac fans suggest.

    Look at his fight with Chop Chop and you will see what im talking about.

    And if Pac comes in trying to connect on Floyd like he did Marquez in round 6, say good night.

    He looked fine in the first Maidana fight, the style is what troubled him because Maidana is a big strong fighter. Size, pressure, a good jab and good boxing skills beats Floyd. A small, short reach fast fighter with average defense is not going to do anything trust me the fight is a mismatch

    If that whats in your mind, how many taller, bigger opponents(Cotto, Margo, Mosley, Algiere) had Pac ever faced and the outcome is the same? Size doesnt always makes the criteria in winning a fight in boxing. Styles makes fights. Every boxer is different and this fight is not a mismatch.

    I like manny as a fighter and you never know in boxing but lets be realistic the smart money is on floyd making manny look horrible and out boxing him for most of the fight with some small success for pac in spurts

    refer to the JMM vs Pac 3rd fight to get an idea of how this fight is going to go

    This fight is going to look like Pac v. Algieri. Algieri ran the entire night and was on the canvas 6 times. RUnning won't help you void, it will only prolong the inevitable.

    Yeah but trading with Corley then trading with Pacquiao are two different levels.

    Pacquiao is a better, more experienced offensive fighter than Mayweather, and I think most would agree. Mayweather needs to focus on his strengths.

    #noExcuses

    why does it seem like only Pacquiao fans are the ones making up possible excuses?

    i haven't seen one Floyd fan backpedal since the fight was signed. They backed Floyd to win before the contracts were signed and nothing changed after they put pen to paper

    How does floyd have to prove him self his legs looked strong against CONELO and CONELO was trying to walk him down constantly he allowed miadana to come in on the first fight to get the crowd exited then executed on the 2nd fight
    All that was going on was just different levels of boxing
    This occasion we have a south paw fast puncher that back in the day just like floyd knock out guys but paciou is just hurting guys and is now able to be knocked out himself Algeri was the tune up fight and should have been flat out but at best was just hurt paciou is trying to box now and that's where he's going to come unstuck if he brawls with his awkward style early he may have a chance but that's like putting all the chips in on the gambling table when the odds are against you, but ya never know (Sounds like a bit of a wild card) as the gym is called that. but doing that also increases the risk for paciou and being careless against one of the best defensive and one the best counter punchers is a dangerous game to play the game plan of a boxer will maybe be at best a 10-15% adjustment but he will always revert back to his old habits
    And Mayweather is a patient man And in his words (IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE YOU HAVE TO PAY)
