    Yeah Bradley is totally a handpicked opponent... Tell me. Who has Pac ducked since losing to JMM??? :think

    Floyd on the other hand struggled with crude Maidana, and hasn't had a legitimate knockout in nearly a decade(I don't count the KO that Ortiz basically handed to him) Nothing indicates that Mayweather stops Pac here, or that he'll have an easy nights work. Judging on recent fights Pac seems to have more left than Mayweather.

    Bradley is as feather fisted as it gets :lol::lol::lol::rofl:rofl:rofl

    You just proved my point. Regarding the rest of your post Floys made easy work of JMM including knocking him down while Pacquiao arguable hasn't beat him once and was just savagely KOed by him in the most brutal and embarrassing fashion I have seen in a while.'

    PBF is going to knock Pacquiao out.

    Ive put Floyd by UD down.

    To be honest,Im not gonna get too into the whole prediction thing that's going to be in overdrive over the next 2 months.

    Im just going to sit back and look forward to the biggest fight of this generation happening.

    I actually don't care who wins.

    Tell me who he should have fought then? :think He may have not faced fearsome punchers, but they were all rated fighters. If he shouldn't have fought them then who should he have fought?

    Oh JMM.... How about Cotto, ODLH, and Hatton?? If you want to compare mutual fights, Pac usually has an easier time than Floyd does.

    Floyd is featherfisted and can't even crack an egg with his punches, his only stoppage in the last 8 years was against Ortiz which was pretty much handed to him. Never mind KO's, how many knockdowns have Floyd had in the last 7-8 years not including Ortiz????

    Floyd fought all those guys before Pacquiao did and he knocked down JMM. When Mayweather sits on his punches he has pretty good power. Pacquiao's Chin is going to get shattered. He has been relegated to fighting Chris Algeiri for christ sakes to protect that Chin :rofl:patsch

    No, he didn't Rico.

    Pac took Cotto's soul long before the dude faced Floyd.

    Not exactly a unique feat. Some dudes have knocked him down several times.

    His last legit KO was Hatton, more than seven years ago.

    He has two out of twelve since moving up from 140.

    His boxing skills are undeniable, but he's not known for power, at least not at this weight.


    He fought Algeiri because Chris upset Provodnikov, the original plan.

    And Bradley was the #3 ww and #3 p4p when Pac rematched him.

    Moreover, he was walking around with a 'victory' that needed setting straight.

    Get a clue, chin-twit.

    you need to get a clue. Pacquiao's last KO was 2009 vs Cotto

    Mayweathers last KO was 2011 against Ortiz

    Furthermore Mayweather fought Cotto at 154 Pacquiao wouldn't do that.

    Mayweather is going to shatter Pacquiao's Glass Jaw. Embarrassingly.

    Rios is feather-fisted? Sparring "feather-fisted" Provodnikov for Rios fight? You remind me of what Kellerman said. He said how after the KO, fighters now think they can just go in there and knock Pacquiao out when that just isn't the case.

    I haven't the slightest clue, which is what still makes this one so interesting.

    But I will say that right now, I think Pacquiao's chances are the best they've been since 2010. Pacquiao initially slowed down quicker from then, but I think Floyd has slipped a good deal in the last year himself.

    I hope it's a good fight, and I hope everyone involved loses tons of money!

    Floyd by decision

    I most often root for an offensive fighter over a defensive fighter for 2 reasons

    1. Without offensive fighters we have no sport
    2. It's easier to dodge a punch than land one , it annoys me when people go on about defensive geniuses but never give credit to fighters who take bigger risks and throw high volume of punches trying to land, especially those who aren't naturally great athletes so the only way they would make a living in the sport us by going out and being aggressive

    But hey ho, Floyd is a great athlete and a supreme boxer, versatile, can make adjustments and he will do what he needs to do to win this fight

    9-3 or 8-4, judges may make it closer to justify rematch

    Hope I'm wrong though and it's a close fight

    After all this time the best thing for boxing is for this to be really close, so the *****s give credit to PAC, and the pac****s give credit to Floyd
