    NONE of them though are anywhere near the talent and skill of FLoyd its just a whole nother ball park.....however like u said so many have picked agasint him i think the vast majority will start to be like fukk that he has proven me wrong so many other times...they will go with Pac this go round.

    Problem is...Floyd is so far from the names mentioned up there its like night and day.....if i had an even biger contrast off the top of my head i woul say it but i cant figure out how anyone is so sure of this fight.

    Honestly this is the first time where they are in there with someone who has EQUAL ABILITY and TALENT and depending on how you see it...SKILL

    I DEFINATLEY wouldn't say that about the DLH fight.

    There were HEAPS of threads saying Roach is out of his mind! Pac will NEVER stop DLH etc etc etc

    alright I'll give u the DLH fight, but DLH was nowhere near his peak, and he was at a weight he hadn't touched in nearly 7 years...

    Mayweather is as good as he's ever been... and nowhere near being washed up.

    All those other fights played out like I thought they would.... obviously I thought Hatton would maybe last 2 or 3 rounds longer... but still, it was the expected outcome... I thought he would have KO'd Cotto anywhere in the 8th-9th round

    Pac has never faced anyone like Mayweather... it'll be interesting to see how Pac attacks it... but I think Mayweather is gonna roll to a wide UD if not a late KO

    How would Pac deal with getting hit with basically every punch Floyd throws?

    Pac has never been in the ring with a fighter who's timing or accuracy is anywhere near that of Floyd's.

    By stepping into Manny when he attacks and taking away his space. Pacquiao has no inside fight game to speak of. People who think Manny is going to be able to get off his flurry of punches on Mayweather are smoking some serious rocks.

    Exhibit A: Manny Pacquiao vs Marquez II -- Was Manny throwing 100 punches a round in that fight? Nope. Why? Because he couldn't against a good counter-puncher who was giving him feints and angles. Expect to see more of that against Mayweather.

    Manny gets mauled on the inside, forcing him into a cat-and-mouse game with Mayweather on the outside. Mayweather picks him apart or stops him late, fight over.

    Pac is 5'6. Mayweather has great foot speed himself. Plus he has a jab, which is the key to keeping a speedy fighter off balance.

    Zab Judah who is probably technically a little better, but Pac throws a lot more punches.

    The only problems I see for Floyd is within the first 3 rounds and even then I dont expect him to be in trouble. One floyd has adjusted and worked Manny out he dominates and wins a UD decision. Mayweather has all the tools to counter the offense of Pacquiao. That get in and out **** from Manny aint working v PBF. Manny aint walking through right hands all night long either. People are crazy of they think manny is going to be able to just take PBF's punches to land his own. Even if Manny gets close PBF has very underrated inside fighting skills. Too many people think PBF cant fight close and cant mix it up inside but thats nothing but a myth.
