    Pacquiao is a fantastic boxer who absolutely devastated his recent opponents... but I believe Mayweather would finish what Marquez started. Manny has grown from a one dimensional, huge hitter into a nearly complete hard hitting, fast boxer, but I still think Floyd's speed and skill would see him winning a close, disputed decision over the Filipino congressman.

    I just wish Mayweather would sign the contract... he'd make enough money to buy his grandkids escalades with spinners and continue to make the most awful rap songs ever made in the history of mankind.. :scaredas:

    Too right, I'd cheer for Manny.. but I have a feeling Floyd schools him.

    I have always said Floy eye will light up when Pac tags a few. This has always been the

    reaction i see in many of Pacquiao's opponents.

    Manny is much better at 147 so the fight with JMM means nothing. He has demolished everyone at 147 and has a granite chin and will and is perfect above 140. Manny is much quicker than Floyd in terms of footwork and handspeed and the big difference is Floyd throws one punch at a time while Manny throws combos as quick as Floyd's 1.

    Even just judging from the Mosley fight, Floyd's chin is not that special . PBF has lost a step and some power and may have to win by going 12 rds with the best offensive fighter of his era. Why do you think he is reluctant to take this fight?

    Against Oscar, Hatton, Clottey, Cotto, and Tony, Pac had pretty obvious speed and mobility advantages. If Floyd can still bring his "A-Game" at 33 years of age, Pac would not hold those advantages. That would make this a very tough call to make.

    Wouldn't it be epic if the fight ended in a draw and both guys retired after?

    Pac too strong, too relentless and too mobile. Floyd can't keep Pac off of him and quits after the 10th round.

    Floyd is faster point to point, has superb defense and mobility himself. To top it all off he's got a decent beard and overall higher ring IQ than anyone in the game.

    I'd say he keeps Pacquiao occupied with his pull right hands and mobility... well, the entire night.

    Floyd UD12 Pacquiao.

    Floyd hasn't had superior mobility since he hit 147. It's why he loses this fight.

    I respect your opinion but the difference is Floyd's going to be a bloody mess. That's gonna change a LOT of the dynamic of the fight.

    I honestly dont know what Freddy Roach is on about with saying "Floyd doesnt have the legs anymore".

    Floyd to me, has the nicest legs in the game (no homo). :lol:
    His movement is just a beautiful thing to witness.
