Also, something Pac once said has instilled great confidence in me because I'd never heard him say anything like it... A reporter asked Pac how he would fight Floyd and Pac said, with a smile, that he'd "fight like there was no tomorrow".

That's a good answer.

This thread is getting ENORMOUS.

Keep up the good work IB, cleaning up the page.

This fight will 100% happen. No doubt about it. Im already saving up for vegas in may 2015.

Ive done my research, this fight is happening. Both fighters want it to happen now.

A lot of people will pick against Floyd out of spite.

It's a tough call but I went with Mayweather, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Pac pull it off. Here's why.

Despite both men looking old now, Floyd is a bit sharper in his counters and looks to have the quicker hands. He presents the movement (ring generalship), counters, speed and timing to hit Pac all night. Some of his usual moves won't work though. His Philly shell will get cracked, his shoulder roll will leave his right side partially exposed and that's bad news against a lefty. His best weapon would be his lead right/pull counter and right hook. He'd need to stay at range, avoid the ropes (tie up when inside), focus on timing and upping his activity a little bit to make up for Pac's activity. His adjustments will be key, because Pacquiao will hurt him if they fight, mark my words. His in-ring adjustments will prevent it from happening more than once.

Pacquiao just needs to do what he does best. I think at this stage he has better footwork than Floyd but he cannot cut the ring off that well. Pac's best assets against Floyd is his hand speed, foot speed, head movement, combination and angles. His leaping in to attack won't always work against Floyd, check hooks will catch him on the way in. Since he's the shorter fighter, that's a no-no, or else it's Porter-Brook or Crawford-Gamboa all over again. He's also off balance a lot when throwing his lead left, this probably has a lot to do with his shorter stature and him reaching in. I'd take advantage of that (or at least try to) and score a KD. Want to know what Pacquiao's best weapon against Floyd is that nobody ever talks about? His feints. With his speed, activity, and feints, he will completely befuddle Floyd's timing. That will open up TONS of opportunities for a left hand. He needs to stay busy and steal rounds. Floyd's a low output fighter so you want to smother him.

If this fight takes place in 2015, I can see Pacquiao winning big in the early rounds but coming up short (no pun intended) in the later rounds. I think it'd be a hotly debated split decision that'll leave a bitter taste in the fans' mouth. At least that's how I feel now.

You make it sounds like it would be a surprise .

Floyd: No money is worth my health, not making the same mistake Ali did. The people wanted Ali to fight those fights, Ali didn't want it. I'm TBE doe.

I asked for the source as the mare mention that Floyd apparently is demanding a rematch clause gives me hope the fight will happen.

Pacquiao: "I can make Mayweather stand and fight"

I know how to fight him. I know what Im doing, Pacquiao said to NJ.com. I know what his style is all about. So, if he dont want to create action. I know how to create action. I know that I can make him stand and fight.

that's anther key thing pac can make mayweather fight in a war which would be a big problem for the coward

cslb · Nov 25, 2014

I thought Pac was moving down to 140. Is Mayweather supposed to fight Pac at 140? Arum is stringing people along like a master puppeteer. Wake me up when this fight is actually signed. Otherwise, I am calling bs on both parties.

Constable · Nov 25, 2014

the surprise would be if mayweather signs for the fight

Stephen A. Smith of ESPN will be disappointed.
