Mayweather or Pacquiao?

Like i implied, after the Fuji fight, my Mayweather managerial train could be derailed at any point.

 

Ross

I'd take Barney over both of them, but Mayweather fares better than Pac here IMO. At least from a stylistic standpoint, so I'd put Mayweather up for the job here.

McLarnin

Again, I'd probably take Jimmy to beat them both, but like Mayweather's chances a little bit better than I do Pacquiao's. McLarnin would force the fight to a point beyond the control of either Pac or Mayweather, but I can at least see Mayweather not getting drawn in, therefore nicking rounds and not letting McLarnin have things all his own way. Just not enough to win.

Napoles

Jose takes them both but would have far more trouble with Pacquiao than he would with Mayweather IMHO. Can't think of many worse fighters than Napoles for Floyd to face at 10st. So I'd stick Pac in here; his speed and viciousness would at least make Napoles think and possibly halt him in his tracks (maybe even do some facial damage). But I'd do a Frank Warren in all honesty and try and steer both men well clear of old Mantequilla. Even if McGrain says they both have to face the best.:tong

Tszyu

I can envision both men beating Kostya or both men losing to him at the same time. If I had a magicky prediction machine thingymibob that could assure me with little doubt that Pac could handle Tszyu's power and timing, then he'd be the man for the job on account of Kostya's documented trouble with aggressors. But I don't have a magicky prediction machine whatsit, so there's just as a much a fair argument for trusting Mayweather's versatility to protect his 'O' here. He'd have to be willing to step in and show some calculated aggression to earn Tszyu's respect rather than fighting exclusively with potshots from range though.

Canzoneri

Same as for Ross and Jimmy Mac. Mayweather to have the better shot but perhaps still lose. But I've not really seen a massive deal of Canzoneri in action as I should, so you can take this one with a pinch of the old salt.

DLH

Have to think about this one.....

Locche

Mayweather again, though it'd be an ugly one that could spin either which way, with both men landing precious little in the process.

Pryor

Probably Manny. It's the southpaw thing and potential willingness to meet Pryor head on in spite of the potentially hazardous consequences. Pryor could box a bit though when he chose to and he could vary his pace to compliment the human windmill thing, an ability that could negate Floyd's timing advantage and make Pryor harder to read.

Chavez

Hard one this. JCC wins against both in competetive fights, but I can't say who'd push him harder. Maybe Mayweather if he opted to get on his bike......yeah, that sounds feasible.

Fuji

Mayweather. See Fuji-Locche.

Benitez

Again, both of my lads would be receiving the short end of the stick in this one, so I can't choose. Floyd isn't outboxing Benitez and Pac isn't dismantling him. So it'd be a case of the lesser of two evils, and I'm not sure......


Bear in mind that this was done with roughly only a few nanoseconds of constructive thought and that I'm not as starry-eyed as some when it comes to either Mayweather or Pac.

Still, a nice one to get the old grey matter going again after a bit of a hiatus.....Cheers McGrain
