    "*******s" or "*****" testicle-suckers need not contribute to this thread.

    I still think Mayweather would school Pacquiao. What do you think after last night's fight?

    That fight told me nothing. Mayweather to stop him. He can't pot shot for 12 rounds because Manny's stamina is something else. I think we will see him bite on his gumshield and take it to Pac

    Mayweather.

    Despite the dominant wins there still been weaknesses evident last night and in the Cotto fight.

    It'll be a travesty if we never get to find out though, a sickener.

    I honestly, honestly think if the fight is the next respective fight for each guy (presuming Floyd gets past Mosley as I expect him to) that Floyd will destroy Pacquiao. I think he will be so primed for this fight :good

    It's possible mate. Mayweathers 'percieved' low output could be the thing that could cost him in the fight. I just get the feeling that Mayweather only came out of retirement for this fight so when it happens he'll be raring to make an example of Pac

    I think Mayweather should win a decision against Pacquiao. For all Manny's offensive prowess he is still fairly easy to hit, as Clottey showed at times last night. I think Mayweather would be the perfect boxer to negate Manny's workrate and score solid punches on Pacquiao, while avoiding getting hit. Manny has had trouble with boxers in the past (JMM), I think Mayweather will be the one to finally get the nod over him.

    I don't think either of them would school each other. I think Pac's punch out put and endless supply of energy would cause Mayweather problems from start to finish. It would be very interesting to see if Mayweather could cope or not. Either way I reckon it would be a close fought 12 rounder.

    The Marquez/Mayweather comparison means nothing. They're both counter punchers and that's it....

    When Marquez countered, he countered with serious intent, he'd land one and before Pac could re-set, he'd throw 3 or 4 more.

    Mayweather won't make him pay like that, it'll be one shot at a time.

    Few cagey rounds....Mayweather just adapting to pace and once he does he starts to use lateral movement and pot shotting Manny with triple right hands and lead left hooks and Pacquiao's weakness the jab.

    When Manny get's close Floyd seeks refuge by getting up close and ducking low and giving him the shoulder and using his forearms to blind Pacquiao so he can unleash hurtful shots and then off at angle.

    His pin point accuracy and timing would be to much for Pacquaio IMO. Pacquiao would have his moments but he started to get out boxed and Mayweather could go for icing on cake if he fancied it but knowing Floyd he probably play safe and seal his legacy with a points decision.

    Laser like straight rights from Floyd would hit Manny all night, that was Clottey's most successful punch. I think Mayweather would feel the heat a few times, but in the end win a decision, dare I say quite comfortably.
