    Weight has been set: 147lbs.
    Purse has been set: 50/50
    Gloves size has been set: 8oz
    DAMN I AM EXCITED: :hammertime

    I have never posted nor mentioned a prediction...because its pretty obvious to me (and "real" boxing fans) who will win this fight.

    So lets start with some questions and statements that will tell you everything you need to know about WHO WILL WIN THIS FIGHT!!!

    In the days following Pacquiao's victory over Miguel Cotto...A large number of fans, crtics, gurus, columnist, journalist were asking Freddie Roach about a possible fight between Pacqiao and Mayweather.

    And his response should have told you everything: "WE NEED MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR MAYWEATHER'S STYLE!!!"

    Not once did Roach nor any other Pacquiao trainer ever say they needed more time to prepare for Morales, Barerra, Solis, Diaz, JMM, Oscar, Hatton or Cotto, WHY IS THAT????

    Because they all fought in THE SAME STYLE...A STYLE THAT IS CUSTOM FIT FOR A PACQUIAO VICTORY: Latin American and/or Euro Brawlers who all moves like they're stuck in quicksand, wouldn't know Defense if it knocked on their front door and all have a TON OF BAD HABBITS!!!

    Pacquiao HAS NEVER FOUGHT A SLICK-ASS, DEFENSIVE TECHNICIAN LIKE MAYWEATHER!!! Pacquiao will lose this fight in tranning...simply because there is no-one on the planet they can find to mimic Floyd's style for sparring...and once there in the ring...Both Roach and Manny will say...:huh

    Everyone wants to go on & on about how Judah, Corley, Hatton, Oscar Corrales and Castillo all gave Mayweather problems in the "EARLY ROUNDS".

    Well why is that???

    A. They were all Different Styles of Fighter...A slick lefty counter-puncher (Corley), a tall Rangy Power Puncher (Corrales), A fast lefty aggressive early round boxer (Judah), a Euro brawler (Hatton), a typical Mexican Pressure fighter (Castillo) and a Classic Mexican American Puncher/Boxer (Oscar)...And Once Mayweather adjusted...40-0!!!

    B. Mayweather is a Patient Fighter...He doesn't have many 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th round KO's. He's defensive, smart, calculatiing and most importantly...HE GETS BETTER IN THE LATER ROUNDS!!!

    Does any remember how much and how often Pacquiao got hit against Marquez? Ok...Maybe you'll say that Manny is a different fighter now...Ok, Does anyone remember Cotto landing jabs AT WILL before the USUAL COTTO STAMINA PROBLEMS OCCURED (with the help of Manny's fist).

    So lets look at Cotto's Jab and Floyd jab. Cotto's jab is always "up-top", Floyd's jab is to the head and body...and the jabs to the body are merely the set up for the CAT-QUICK STARIGHT RIGHT HAND...AND AGAINST A LEFTY...:-(!!!

    And, I think everyone will be surprised at the Size difference...And with Floyd's Reach and Speed...HE CAN SCORE AND WIN ROUNDS WITHOUT EVEN GETTING CLOSE TO MANNY.

    Manny will have his moments...But in the end...I'll be BUMPING THIS THREAD!!!

    LoL, Good post but I think most unbias boxing fans already know this. Mayweather is the favorite but Manny has a puncher's chance. I don't predict fights based on chances and that's why I have Floyd winning this one.

    STOP MAKING THREADS LIKE THIS!!
    None of us want to hear anyone brag about a 50 50 chance.
    "I flipped a coin and won!" Who ****ing cares?

    It would be nice to have a consolidated thread where all the loudmouth predictions can be made and subsequently pulled up again when they are shown to be right or wrong. Does this necessarily demonstrate someone is a great prognosticator? No, but it's fun, especially considering the vitriol being spewed by the two camps already.

    Makes me wonder if they are boxing fan or boxer fan. ****ers on here just can't watch a good fight without showing the world how much they love their man. Win or lose I don't care as long as both guys put on a good show.

    Every fighter has a pucher's chance. Even feather-fisted Paulie or Juan Diaz have puncher's chance. But Pac has real power at WW to KO Floyd and 12 rounds to do the job. What's the chance of one of these Pac's KO punch to land in 12 rounds using his speed, angles, lateral movements? I'd say a lot...

    Obviously your a hardcore Pac fan, and that's cool as long as you can state opinions without throwing insults. You think Pac has the better chance and I happen to disagree. Floyd Mayweather has by far the higher boxing IQ and anyone who think otherwise is either bias or does not watch Floyd's fights. I've got Floyd winning this but the bottom line is we'll see on March 13.:good

    I am well aware that "real boxing fans" know that Floyd WILL win pretty convincingly.

    I really created this thread for those Pac Fans that Honestly believe that Pacquiao will just walk right through Floyd and WIN BY KO!!!

    THAT'S JUST CRAZY:-(
