    Pac is a good fighter who throws fast combinations at you, at 140 or 147 Mayweather wins. Money has a great reach and his defense will prove difficult for Pac to establish his style. Oscar was past his prime, but if Pac were to fight a top welter I doubt he wins.

    No doubt he has a chance! But Floyd is just too skilled.

    im not trying ... well i am trying to debate... but dont want it to come off as arguing

    but i just dont understand like.... how paq is so fast that paq will be able to punch floyd and not be available for floyd to punch him back..
    like people are speaking like paq is a mirage with hands

    its physically impossible

    especially with paq having shorter reach then floyd

    He doesn't have a better chance than Cotto IMO.

    Cotto does better against boxers than against hard-chinned pressure fighters that can hurt him. However, not many boxers out there have the kind of ring smarts and defense that Mayweather brings so it's still a winnable fight for him. Though I'd favor Cotto 55/45

    Pacquiao has trouble against good counterpunchers, as seen by his fights with Marquez, who brings nowhere near the speed or defense that Mayweather does. Pacquiao will be forced to lead and will get caught coming in with sharp counters.
