    i watched fight 2 and for most rounds i just watched their feet, it really tells the story of the fight

    buys like Margarito and Clottey and Cotto and Oscar and Hatton and Diaz did not have the kind of foot work

    Morales did for the 1st 2 bouts Barrera did in the rematch and Juan did in all 3

    Mosley had the right idea but he just didnt have the ability to capitalize on misses

    It's true. There's a handful of guys Pacquiao fought who had that decent footwork ability but didn't quite have Pacquiao's athleticism. Floyd has both in adundance. I think this is a relatively easy fight for him.

    i dont know if id go as far to say easy

    call me crazy but Floyd is most vulnerable rounds 1-4 Manny is pretty fast and has power

    i could see Manny do a Judah come out win between 2 and 4 of the 1st 4 maybe even score a flash KD

    but from 5 on i could see Floyd dominate, but not easily because Manny is wild and aggressive and so busy

    but Manny also lowers in punch out put vs guys who can time him so who knows

    my bet is UD for Floyd 8-4 kind of ball park

    Maybe. But Marquez made Pacquiao miss regularly from the first bell with modest head movement and good footwork. Being a better defensive fighter with better head movement and footwork than JMM, I think Mayweather would find it even easier to avoid his punches and make him miss. I can picture Pacquiao throwing combinations and flurries and landing very little, Mayweather staying just out of reach by controlling range like Marquez did and/or taking the brunt of the punches on his gloves or shoulder. But you're right, Mayweather probably wouldn't completely take over until the middle rounds. Still, I don't think it'll be the hardest fight he's ever fought, as good as Pacquiao is.

    Mostly with his own offence and combinations.
