    Why do people still sleep on Mayweather's offense? It's great he just chooses to use it much more efficiently than the rest of fighters. It's called seeing holes in your opponents and picking them apart. Smart boxing.

    Floyd mostly moved back and countered and avoided punches. How is that walking down? Even when he comes forward, he rarely throws first.

    Eventually he did walk down Hatton. I'll give you that, but it took him about 6 rounds to get there.

    I've never thought Pacquaio would be able to beat Mayweather - it's a horrible style matchup for Pacquiao - but he's not going to lose because he gets "walked down". It's going to be because Mayweather gets him to walk into his trap.

    if youre a boxing fan of any length....never judge how much better another fighter would have done based on how that fight went down....
    go watch holyfield vs bobby czyz..holyfield couldnt knock out a light heavyweight and looked like ****.......next fight vs tyson the animal who was unifying belts again....holyfield was supposed to get mauled......and tyson got the **** kicked out of him and stopped

    Bob Arum would have a gun in the back of Roach if he even thought about doing that.

    I've seen both those fights and dont need to see'em again. I understand your point but it's a completely different set of circumstances. it's in my opinion that floyd can easily utilize more or less the same style as marquez and do well against pacquiao. the blueprint has been set

    There is always a chance, maybe it is slimmer now because of Floyds great talent. Pacquiao with the right gameplan could still outwork Floyd and still hurt him.

    Saying a fighter could not beat another fighter is rediculous! I give Manny a 30% chance of beating Floyd by outworking him.

    That was the confirmation to know if the fight would be 9-3 Floyd or 12-0 Floyd. Floyd jumping on Victor early lets me know that he won't give a **** about what Manny is doing. Floyd is going to dictate from the opening bell and give Manny hell.

    A disappointment for the clueless and idiotic, a masterpiece for those that understand movement, defense and speed.

    Contributors to this site know boxing and pretty much everything that goes on around it, we are basically addicts. We therefore recognise signs of deterioration in performance, I putmy hard earned on Marquez beause in my opinion Manny is in decline, on that basis he should leave the sport a winner, a hero and an institution in his country, otherwise, Mayweather will simply embarrass him.

    a counter puncher couldnt beat pacquiao, so what makes you think that floyd who is a counter puncher will be able to beat manny?
