    Yea, but Hatton is certainly no Mayweather in the ring. Silly comparison.

    Mayweather breaks Pacquiao down and stops him late.

    I'm not comparing the two, im just pointing out the fact that Floyd sr said the same thing. either way I think Pac will win by KO

    He's not stopping Pac late, don't be silly. He couldn't stop a gassed Mosley who couldn't string any resemblance of a combination together to save his life.

    Hatton and PBF aren't the same level of fighters. PBf can adjust to Hatton can't. A guy like Pac who does the same thing over and over will not beat PBF.

    Can someone here explain to me how Floyd is gonig to stop Pacquiao, who hasn't been stopped in over 11 years (last stoppage loss in 1999), when he couldn't stop an old Marquez or a tired Mosley?

    Their recent fights showed a number of things. Number one, Floyd can take a shot, recover and survive. He can also dominate top-level opposition. Number two, Manny is still susceptible to the right hand, as shown against Clottey, and against Cotto he got caught with a few decent counter left-hooks while wailing on him. He also got hit with the jab repeatedly in the first 2 rounds or so. Number three, Pacquiao will find it difficult to break down a great defensive fighter. He couldn't get through Clottey's guard and only hit him with 20% of his 1231 punches.

    What do you all think of Pac's chin? I Don't see Mayweather doing much damage, only way i see him winning is by a boring UD.

    Styles make fights.

    Pac is tailor made for Floyd.

    If Pac goes in there without his "special blend of different things" then he will look like the fighter he was years ago.

    Hard work does not turn good fighters into special ones.

    And millions are not sacrificed for the sake of a blood test.

    how about overwhelm an opponent and be disciplined when the fighter has good defence.

    Are you implying that Pac is on drugs?

    50/50, same as I've always thought.

    I do think there is an excellent chance that Pacquiao may win the rounds he needs to get a decision on pure workrate, and putting Floyd into a defensive shell with his work.
