    I go back and forth on whether Floyd wins by wide decision or by stoppage. I voted officially for a stoppage win because I see Floyd running away on points and Pacquiao taking more chances, walking himself into a ruthless counter that sees him eventually closed out.

    pac needa get working on his footwork..he has to control the tempo of the fight in able to have a decent chance to win..PEOPLE DONT REALIZE THAT FLOYD CAN DO 3 THINGS TO MAKE THIS FIGHT EASY..

    1. FLOYD HAS BETTER FOOTWORK THAN MANNY OR "MORE SUPERIOR" SO I BELIEVE HE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP THE FIGHT AT A SLOWER PACE....

    2. KEEP IT A CHESS MATCH...MANNY IS NOT GONNA OUTTHINK FLOYD

    3. KEEP PACQUIAO GUESSING...FLOYD NEEDS TO BOX OFF HIS BACK FOOT MOVING AROUND THE RING (RUNNING AS THE HATERS PUT IT) AND AT OTHER TIMES HE SHOULD PRESS THE FIGHT AND BOX OFF HIS FRONT FOOT BEHIND HIS JAB..

    4. AND THE LAST THING IS THE REACH ADVANTAGE...FLOYD KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT TALL..HE DOESNT FIGHT "BIG" BUT HE IS JUST AS GOOD AS A KLITSCHKO IF NOT BETTER AT CONTROLLING YOUR OPPONENT WITH A LONGER JAB AND HE HAS THE BETTER FOOTWORK..

    FLOYD SHOULD KNOCK MANNY IN 11 OR LESS..THAT OR A WIDE UD 117-111

    Can't argue this.

    I mean I've said in other posts, Manny will get through at some points, but I don't think it will be enough to mess Floyd's gameplan up.

    If anyone thinks Manny can outthink Floyd in the ring, then that's a bet I'd like to take you up on. I truely believe, if May establishes his Jab or more dangerously, his right cross, Manny's chances of winning dimininshes greatly.

    But on the flip side at some points I see shades of dlh vs may, when activity alone would win dlh rounds, and that will help keep the fight close.

    Do I think Manny has a chance? Yes. But come fight night, I will be betting the house on Floyd.

    a lot of poeple see pac as an easy opponent for mayweather yet mayweather himself thinks the other way around..he even thinks that pac has to be on something because he cant be that good..if only mayweather thinks the same way as his fan, he could've fought pacquiao on march..

    oh god..ok..so roach didnt want the fight..now they want it more than ever..ive heard pac is agreeing to compromise..what now?my point is, if mayweather is as confident that pac is an easy fight just like some of his fan suggest, then he shouldve fought pac without coming up with something that didnt came up with his previous 40 fights.he shouldve taken the fight like he always does..besides, mayweather is known for taking fights that involves a lot of money.so y bring drug testing up

    FB: Good morning Floyd. Let's get right to it. They say you ducked a certain fighter before.

    Floyd: I'm not ducking nobody. I fight for money. He wasn't enough of a draw that's why there was no fight.

    FB: But there is now Pacquiao who is a huge draw, second only to you by a small margin and a champion of different weight classes beating superstars the likes of Hoya, Hatton and Cotto.

    Floyd: Well yeah, but I am the best. So purse split should still be 50/50. Pacquiao is a cherry picker, fights drained, damaged, or shot fighters and he's the catch weight king. He gets hit easily. No defense. I will school that SOB. I have all the right tools to beat him it will be a massacre. Easy win for me.

    FB: I hear you Floyd. So why not fight him?

    Floyd: Because I want a level playing field. I want an honest fight. It's suspicious how he's gone up in weight and accomplished a lot of great things. So he should take the Mayweather drug tests or no fight.

    FB: But Floyd you previously said his accomplishments are mediocre. You know, weight drained, shot, catch weight, etc? Anyway, he said he will agree to your testing but with a cut-off of 24 days. So will you fight him now?

    Floyd: Really? Hmm.. But I want 14 days cut-off. 24 days is not enough for me. Either he agree to 14 days or no fight. I got my man Conte backing me up on that ask him.

    ....

    FB: Hi Floyd good to see you again. I heard Manny agreed to your 14 day cut-off because he heard his fans call to get this fight done. I guess that's it Floyd we will get to see this fight now right? Even your man Conte said you should accept the deal now.

    FLoyd: What!? Oh ****.. *mutters to himself*.... Well I want no cut-off now. I have moved the goalpost from 14 days to 0 days. Testing all the way to the fight. So there should be no cut-off date or no fight! And that Conte doesn't know ****. He's not even a chemist. Don't listen to that dummy.

    FB: But Floyd you said...



    Floyd: *mutters to himself again*... I guess I'm cornered. Alright, alright I'd agree to 14 days but I want 60-40 purse now, not 50-50 anymore as I have said before. So 60-40 or no fight!


    to be continued....
