    Have no idea, Cotto tends to counter punch as well, I just dont know how that fight turns out Uppercuts are money for Floyd in this fight, but in throwing them he has to be careful of that left hook from Cotto....

    its a pick em fight, tuff fight, cant pick a actual winner, Manny has speed power and a high work rate going for him which is why i can say Manny beats FLoyd he has some attributes that will serve him well..

    But Cotto is a bit slow, however his timing is good, its a pick em fight really.

    Fair enough. Seems like a reasonable objective post.

    Why are we bringing up Judah?
    He was competitive for 4 rounds.
    Did not win four straight rounds. Just gave Floyd a good fight in those rounds.
    Ali Foreman was competitive for the first four rounds also. So...what?
    Judah hit Floyd with about two or three flush left hands and one right..how is that amazing?
    Pacquaio does not even have defense nor the punch like Zab. Remember, this same Zab hurt Cotto a few times but could not make Floyd stumble once. He just took a shot.

    Not just Judah we can look at the Corley fight as well, Both are south paws with speed and power, and both gave Floyd a hard time to deal with, Southpaws give all fighters trouble, Manny is not a Judah nor a Corley he is legit, and he is light years better than those guys, if Judah can ekk out four rounds or five rounds early, Manny will be able to as well, and probably an extra round or two making it a close fight if Floyd doesnt stop him.....

    the problem is if Manny gets going early on Floyd the way Judah did, does Floyd have anything left when its time for him to adjust and turn the fight around, do those shots that manny gets off early take a toll on Floyd at that point? I say yes.

    2 different fights and 2 different fighters. Cotto is more aggressive, so fighting that way you have a better chance of getting hurt against a counter puncher(and Judah never hurt Cotto that bad, he just buzzed him) while Mayweather is more a defensive fighter so it's a little harder to catch someone like that with an earth shattering punch because he's constantly retreating. So your point doesn't prove at all that Mayweather in any way is or has a more sturdier chin that Cotto, if that's what ypour trying to say.

    This goes beyond joking nonsense like that. They know how much money this could bring and how it will attract EVERYONE, casuals and hardcore fans together. There's FAR too much money, recognition and attention in this one for Roach to play "bait". While Roach is playing "bait" in his own world, Pacman has the desire to make this fight happen as he stated but seems to have stopped the talk since the Marquez fight like Roach did.

    These guys saw how much PPV buys he made fighting Marquez, he made almost as much as Pac did fighting none other than De La Hoya. The fight with Mayorga nearly made as much PPV buys as well.

    At this stage for BOTH Pac and Mayweather it's all about money and BOTH offer the most for one another. Playing "bait" will only leave them ignored and Pac CLEARLY doesn't want that.

    He impressed me in the Mosely fight but Ive never seen him reach those heights since & that performance wouldnt do to edge Mayweather, Shane wasnt that good that night IMHO.

    Remember, Judah did not win those first four rounds. He was just competitive. Corely was soundly beaten by Floyd. Made the South Paw look like an orthodox fighter. Floyd dominated both of these men and Corely barely won two rounds. if that. Despite the comparisons of speed and stance, the end result is the same. They were competitive but were convincingly destroyed and figured out before round five began.

    It could be cause Cotto preventing him from looking good that night. Your opponent has a lot to do with the way you look and Margo cheato is a lot easier to time and hit than Cotto is nor does he have the boxing ability Cotto has.

    I stopped reading here. Four or five rounds?? Just stop. PBF-Zab split the first 4 rounds and Zab won the last he won no more than 3 rounds in that fight. If JMM can outbox Pac for both fights then PBF who is bigger but more importantly better defensively he can do it to except he will win. You fail to address Pac's lack of reach, jab his inability to fight on the inside or the fact he's never faced a slick defensive counter-puncher or been in the ring with a better athlete or someone who is just as fast. These are questions that must be answered and you don't have the answers for them.

    On the contrary Zab doesn't have the volume of punches, stamina, or ability to adjust and turn it up a notch the way pacman does. So it works both ways. I see your point of what your saying but you have to it at it both ways objectively.

    True Zab is a front runner he's dangerous for the first 5 rounds or so then fades. PBF knew this going in and even talked about it in the in ring interview after the fight. Manny does have great stamina and is always in shape. I don't expect him to fade like Zab and PBF won't either.

    Honestly pimp your love for the boy is so bad that even when Floyd gets beat up when he does get knocked out, you will still claim he won the fight...

    I saw that vid about a month to 2 months ago, I think he believed it at the time, but I dont think he does now, atleast if he tells the truth.
