    Many of the reasons that Pac did so well against DLH are not going to go as well against PBF.

    Pac had a very easy time landing on DLH. PBF is much harder to hit. Roach too advantage of the fact that DLH doesnt have much of a right hand and hasnt fought a southpaw in a long time. PBF has a great lead right or a right in combos. Pac had a noticable speed advantage on DLH, against PBF that will be closer. DLH is know for tiring, PBF has never tired.

    Also they would be wise not to underestimate PBF's physical strength and durability. PBF is always in great shape and Hatton's team made that mistake. PBF showed he was stronger than Hatton in that fight, he also can box from the outside or fight on the inside. He is hard to hit on the inside and makes good use of those elbows.

    in my gut the speed and agression will get to mayweather. I just feel this would be his biggest test of his career. I think pacman has faced that much adversity before with JMM. this fight has me salivating. Mayweather vs Pacman the true fight of the century moreso then the DLH vs Trinindad fight.

    it very well could be the fight of the century because essientialy you have the best defensive fighter in the game vs. the best offensive fighter in the game.

    PBF is probably one of the most well conditioned atheletes in this sport. Manny is up there though. PBF usually out conditions his opponent this time for this fight could be nulled by Manny relentless training style. i hear everyone says the PBF will blow away pac with his speed. Has PBF ever fought somone with speed close to his?

    please do no say judah. Zab Jab zudah does not have the mental capacity to hand with Pacman.

    It would be Zab in the first rounds but the styles are too different to really compare.

    it was sort of close in the beginning. Its just Zab never can truely focus in a huge fight. Pac man never ever stop coming and moving, when you think about it manny absolutely is like a supercharged bobble head. For me that is a defensive surprise pacquaio brings.

    since mayweather does not relies on his jab. That pot shotting right hand lead technique could be nullified by pacmans constantly movement. But then again pacman could be nullfied by mayweather's shoulder rolls.

    and pertaining to the pacman vs hatton. Sorry hitman fans pacman would cut up hitman like sushi. He is the perfect target for Pacman. Distractors would say he would hug pac all night. How can you brawl and "hug" someone in a fight where you can not touch.

    Mayweather by UD. But Pacquiao will always have trouble with top welterweights due to the size disparity (forget about ODLH).
