    Mayweathers legs are not as shot as people think and niether are paquauios. The diffrence in this fight will be who can get off first and to me mayweather is quicker and longer then pacman. Pacman will have to be relentless and not care if he gets knocked out to have a chance.

    In the case of Floyd size matters. Floyd is built to beat smaller or same size men or if they were bigger they Floyd beats them because they lack something else. Floyd can only lose to a tall fighter with more reach and has good boxing skills thats where the odds probably would be against him. A small guy like Pacquiao will be taking to school because rushing him, throwing alot of punches and applying pressure while you dont have any reach, weight or height advantage wont trouble him at all. Wait and see you will be so disappointed the fight is a complete mismatch

    How can some believe that Pac is a better offensive fighter than Floyd when Floyd lands about 50% of his punches? That is extremely high. Mayweather may not take as much chnaces as pacman, but to state that Pac is more offensive and has more experience as an offensive fighter is not true at all.

    mayweather getting hit is only goijg to happen. His is older, he has slowed down a bit and lets give credit where it's due. If a fighter is landing on mayweather give him props because we all know that a rare thing and very difficult to accomplish consistently. The only problem I see Pac posing is the southpaw stance. It's boxing and a punch can always land ie tarver vs jones

    Using the high guard will be a mistake though.Pac loves that, he will throw the 5 punch combination, just watch the clottey fight for example.

    Then what is he going to use cross guard and shoulder roll stinks against southpaws. Left hand goes right down the pipe.
