    I dont give Pacman any more than a 30% chance of beating him if/when they fight.

    Pacquiao can be outboxed at times & there is no better boxer than Floyd Mayweather today, Pac & Roach will be hoping for signs of ringrust when Floyd fights Marquez, if there is none then the Pac express will likely only have one more stop to make.

    Agree ?
    Disagree ?

    Agree.

    Roach will be watching this one very carefully because even he knows Pac was very lucky to get the nod against JMM.

    In fact if Floyd looks as good as ever I can see team Pac choosing to fight someone else instead.

    Too early to tell. Unless he knocks Marquez out, which is not likely, the fight will be a toss up but Pac will be the favorite.

    hmm says... too early to tell as well. JMM can stand his ground and give hell. I bet you PBF is gonna try to make a statement by beating JMM way more convincingly than Pac. (please don't bring any argument about who you thought won between JMM and Pac). Anyways, it will be a good opportunity for a rebutal since Pac beat PBF's last two opponents way the eff better than PBF despite other factors. I'm sure JMM will put up a good fight... and this is good shiet for Team Pac to analyze.... JMM tests the water first.

    Let's talk about achievements not IF-speculations, gentleman.

    Pac TKOd dela Hoya 9th round
    Floyd beat dela Hoya by split decision

    Pac KOd Hatton 2nd round
    Floyd KOd Hatton 10th round after giving him fits.

    Pac beat Marquez SD. He knocked him down 4 times already.
    Floyd needs to win no less than a convincing KO against Marquez which is not likely.

    Therefore, Pac > Floyd :deal

    Honestly I think Roach and Manny have exactly what it takes to beat Floyd, lets be honest, Roach did a great Job with Oscar in setting up a game plan for that fight with Floyd, and weather you agree or disagree with the scoring it was a SD.

    Manny has much more than Oscar, he has speed, youth, power, that left stance, he has good footwork he just has much more to work with than Oscar did at that time, then you have the Cross over defense factor (Floyds Style) which is great for an orthodox fighter, but a southpaw you cant get away with as much, the jab is there where your hand is low, the left hand is in a position in which it can score.

    I think Roach and Manny can draw up the right game plan, Manny will execute it and I think they might be able to beat Mayweather Jr probably stop him if they get enough body work in.

    I disagree.

    I think Mayweather has enough pop to stop Marquez, who has not only been down 6-7 times in his career, but is really at his best at around 130/135lb.

    Ask Corrales and Hatton about whether or not Mayweather has pop.

    Floyd is a great fighter and it's not a surprise if he beats Pacquiao. But styles make fights, and Floyd beating JMM wouldn't necessarily mean Pac has little chance.

    Look at JMM vs Barrera. That was a very good, competitive fight. Pac easily beat Barrera, yet had a nightmare with JMM. And JMM was fighting a Barrera post Pacquiao beat down.

    Very good pts styles make fights and you know Roach knows Little Floyd ..Like in the fight with Oscar Roach waas quoted as saying Floyd makes allot of mistakes ,it would take a fighter like Manny with his speed to catch Floyd hell Judah was able to drop Floyd and could of beat him if he had kept his head in the fight !

    PBF has a decent pop but he'll need more than that to KO JMM.

    He knocked Corrales 5 times and still could'nt keep him down.

    And we all know he needed the help of the turnbuckle to KO Hatton:lol:

    To me this fight is way to far away to be predictig it but the Judah fight stands out to me. Pac wont fold either.

    I think Floyd finds a way to win but it will be his toughest fight.
