    I am a big fan to both fighters i kinda lean toward mayweather,i give all credits to pacquiao as a true legitimate warrior who never duck any fighter regardless of their weightclass,he prooves that "For u to be the best,u have to beat the best"he did it but can he do it with mayweather?
    I doubt it!why?because Pac have never face any opponent with a defense like mayweather it would be hard for pac to hit mayweather like he did against ODLH,HATTON,COTTO where he exhibit his headhunting skills,he would not be able to hit PBF in the head like that and for him to beat mayweather he needs to knock mayweather out if they go to 12 floyd will outclass pacquiao all thru,I just want to see how pac will hit floyd in the head because that is where his knockout would come from if there is ever one and all that lounging in pac needs to watch out for the check hook.
    Even Freddie said they have to find a way to break that strong defense.

    I'm also a fan of both. The technical boxer fan side of me thinks Floyd has this by a wide margin. The exciting sports fan side of me is pulling for more Pacquiao excitement.

    I've said this before, "when it's all said & done", I still think Floyd has more to lose in terms of prestige & legacy with a loss. A loss for Pacquiao, IMO, doesn't tarnish much, if anything, for him. There's no shame in losing to the single best technician of this era. Just ask JMM :lol:

    Im a huge floyd fan and il admit hes my favorite fighter but i also like pac and have really enjoyed watchin his skills develop in the ring. But, even though im biased, I cant see manny matchin floyds skills and breaking his defense. Floyd also has a tendancy to be more agressive against southpaws particular with that right hand so i wonder if he will do the same with pac or will he respect pacs punchin power and outbox him.

    I hope pac wins just to see how Floyd responds to the critics.

    In the Cotto fight I saw Pac throw a 12 punch combination...when it was in slo-mo, just watching the fight I would have thought it was just another 5 punch combination cos it went so fast. 12 punch combination, you telling me Floyd gonna dodge all 12? Hatton tagged Floyd with a good jab first round and Floyd lost his balance...Hattons jab tagged him. Floyd is not a counterpuncher like JMM, JMM interrupts Pac's combinations, Floyd tends to try to make his opponent miss first and then when they finish unloading, he fires back...or in the case of Zab Judah where punches are too fast to slip, he covers up...lucky for him Judah is not as good combination puncher. People forget that outside of Corrales, the 4 best fighters Floyd fought, Castillo, Hatton, DLH & Judah all gave him problems...Floyd is very good at adapting but they definitely showed that Floyd is not perfect and has weaknesses. Dont act like he doesnt.

    There is plenty Floyd can expose of pacquiao, there is plenty Pac can expose of Floyd...neither is invincible.

    Pac is going to get KOed, but I think he is something very special but will lose to a better boxer.

    They all will say the Pacman was too small when PBF wins. Its obvious to me that Pacman is on performance improving drugs.:tong

    Whatever happens it'll be a great fight. Like I have said on numerous occasions it comes down to how both fighters who adapt to the others style.
