Cant wait for this. PBF will win. I cant see Pacquiao landing that many clean power shots v PBF.

Because you said so that it becomes the bible???

And for those who disagree with your opinions are not "real fan"??

Here we are again every idiot patting each other back. The thread of IVLG or formerly known as OBJECTIVITY was just trashed after most of you started patting each other's back. Now you are all doing it again with same people all over again.

When you said this fight is a 50-50, it means that you can not make a predicition without being correct or wrong 50 per cent of the time. Thus, when someone said that Pac by KO, he is wrong and right half of the time. Just as when you say that Mayweather would do a schooling.

The only idiot is the person who states with conviction how the fight would end up because that is in the realm of Nostradamus or Pacdbest (he predicted that Pac will fight Hatton, Cotto, ODLH and Mayweather when Pac was still at 130) which is beyond your ability. You suck in predicting fights anyway.

In any fight, anything can happen.

roach saying they need more time just shows they know what floyd brings to the table and how hard a cookie he is to crack. no one fights like him, he's one of the most skilled boxers all time. i'm a pac fan and i hope he wins but i have to say pac's team really need to dig deep and come up with something because mayweather is no walkover for anybody. these are the two of the best fighters today and it's great that we are getting the chance (hopefully) to see them face one another. compounding to the excitement is they have two very different styles. as a fan of pac, i'll say mayweather is a tough fight but i'm not ruling out any chance of him pulling an upset.

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!!!

And if he loses then Mayweather needs to stop cherry picking and fight someone his own size, right?

well you'll notice some people here refer to themselves as "real boxing fans" :rofl The nerve!!!:tired

Never thought that these "real boxing fans" can be so biased and narrow-minded as those casual fans that they themselves often argue with. :yep

Real boxing fans are those who care about the whole sport, not just one fighter, on whose nuts they cling on to. They would call a fight basing on each fighters weaknesses and strong points, and unlikely to rule a superfight as a one-:bbbsided affair. This only proves their ignorance toward other fighters except for their favorite.:hey

So many posters predict an upcoming fight, and as usual, some eat crow and some bathe in euphoria. But just the same, it does nothing to a real boxing fan. Except to those posers who'd like to say "i told you so" after a fight, if they're lucky to have chosen the right winner.:hey

Pac by KO in the 6th. It will be easier for Pac to prepare for Mayweather than it will be for Mayweather to prepare for Pac.

You can find guys with somewhat similar skill sets to Mayweather to spar with but there's no one remotely close to Pac that Mayweather can spar with to get ready. Mayweather will be hurt and on the run early after getting exposed and hammered from weird angles he's never had to defend against. His low work rate and mediocre power will not be able to keep the beast off.

Pac proved he can take a big welter's punch. Mayweather is a small welter and won't bother Pac with his pot shots. Pac will be the bigger guy in this fight even if the raw physical statistics don't agree.

Pac is a stylistic nightmare for Mayweather. Faster, relentless, great chin, and unorthodox. There will be no talk of a rematch after Mayweather gets his 1. The fans will be chanting Overrated! Overrated! and booing Mayweather for the last round before he gets KO'd.

So am I the only one thinking 'deja vu' for this fight?

Marnoff · Dec 6, 2009

The smart money has to be on Floyd. He has the perfect style to beat Pacquiao for so many reasons already stated.

Many boxing observers are thinking that way, you are not alone but there won't be a shutdown, like what happened to JMM.
