    :good

    While I think it's possible that both fighters might touch at some point, I suspect that based on his ability to control from both long range and in close, Mayweather likely finds a way to bank seven or eight rounds and secures a clear but competitive UD.

    Just wondering... when has pacquiao slowed down in a fight? He increases his work rate and punch output as a fight goes on. He actually does his best work late rounds.

    Pac by decision. I do think the possibility of a stoppage win isnt out of the question, though.

    Manny will outbox him and win at least 7-8 rounds but floyd will get the decision

    I think Manny beats him on points.

    Floyd has been feasting on plodders while manny has been facing boxers, in this way Manny is better prepared.

    Floyd can't move like he used to and he is getting caught with crazy stuff that wouldnt have touched Floyd in the past.

    Pac will be the best SP he has faced bar none, he has,: speed, power, aggression all from crazy angles.

    Freddie Roach will play a big part in this also.

    Despite the above I wouldn't bet big money on this fight.

    He slowed down against Bradley. He's not been tested recently as he's been taking easy fights but I feel he'll slow down just a little after 6ish rounds with FLoyd and he'll get countered a lot. If Marquez can counter Pac, so can Mayweather.

    Time for Floyd to say goodbye for being undefeated.

    When you have 2 greats, it could go either, that's the beauty of it. Contrast in styles, Manny not afraid to lose, Floyd terrified of it. It will come down to who has more gas in the tank. I'm rooting for Manny, but he doesn't have the iron chin or defense like Duran had to beat SRL. I think Floyd might expose him some on the inside, wear him down, counter the **** outta Manny, ugly, drop him once or twice along the way, during the 2nd half of the fight. Basically, hit and clinch, with alot of dirty fighting from Floyd. Floyd gonna want to box, Manny to fight, and we know Floyd won't oblige with that. Floyd UD or late Tko. He's not Jmm type power, but he's still the bigger man and can hurt Pacman.
