Remember folks....

And Pac isn't no 135lb Marquez fighting at 146 pounds this fight is closer than you think.
I'm only leaning 60/40 mayweather.

 

Thats is absolutely true, i for one dont like comparing what happened in any prev fights and using that as a reason for the outcome for this fight. I will say however it's a little far fetched to think that a smaller guy who hasn't KOed anyone in over 5 years (Pacquiao) is gonna KO someone who has never been knocked down, and only has been visibly hurt twice in 47 fights (Mayweather), i dont know that just sounds a little adsurd to me. I believe this fight will come down to skill, and whoever makes the necessary infight adjustments. Both I give a huge edge to Mayweather. That's my 2 cents...

 

Yea he is way better

 

Shane Mosely was a monster puncher, Diego Corrales was a monster puncher. Did you know that Mayweather has a higher KO percentage than Pacquiao. ODLH and Sugar Shane Mosley both said that Pacquiao and Mayweathers punching power is about equal.

 

Pacquiao ain't no Maidana with pillow gloves.

 

Manny is not a monster puncher,he has 1 ko in 8 ww fights

 

How did you come up with that? It just is not true

 

Right, Marquez has bigger ***** than Floyd. Marquez fought Pacquiao 4 times without the watered down OSDT. fact:hi:

 

sorry, my math was a little off, lol Pacquiao 36 ko's in 64 fights 56.2% Mayweather 26 ko's in 47 fights 55.7%.. still not a huge difference though

 

Look at there KO% at 140 and up.

 

see, i don't think Floyd has more skill, how so? Manny, arguably is the more skilled fighter. I' m not sure Floyd can move and punch like Manny... as Robert Garcia stated 'manny is incredibly talented'.

The difference is Floyd is smarter. Floyd not only has the physical gifts and boxing skills, he takes very calculated risks. Pacquiao's strategies at times are questionable. The way he went in against JMM was absolutely reckless. Floyd doesn't make many mistakes... he is really smart and cautious.


but it terms of raw skills - food speed, hand speed, punching skill.. i think Manny > Floyd

I think Manny can win this fight by throwing a lot and cutting off the ring. I don't see a KO, but can definitely see manny outounching, outworking Floyd. Everyone talks about counters but that's easier said than done vs Manny. Countering against Manny is very very risky cause Manny throws 4-5 punch combinations whilst moving; he;s a moving target. If Floyd doesn;t do damage with his counters, he will absorb damage as Manny is evading counters and throwing... i think people are not realizing how difficult it will be for Floyd to counter. JMM did it but in every fight, absorbed punishment.

 

Neither have many ko's from 140 up..Floyd has 5 out of 16 fights, Manny has 3 out of 12
