The evidence that I gathered from the Mayweather-Mosley fight is that Floyd's punch resistance is suspect and would be put through the ultimate test against Pac.
Pac can force Floyd on the defensive and beat him on effective agressiveness, or if Floyd elects to fight fire with fire Pac can split through his guard. I see a Pac points win
Floyd hasn't dealt with anyone as fast as Pacquiao, someone who can throw combination's the way Pacquiao can and someone that uses the weird and unorthodox angles that Manny uses. Manny won't just give up or run out of gas and he has underrated boxing IQ no matter what any Floyd fan says. Manny has not dealt with anyone as fast as Floyd, has not seen anyone with nearly the same defense and boxing IQ that Floyd possesses and Floyd will (we assume) not be a shop worn and weight drained fighter as Mannys last string of opponents have appeared to be even before the fight. Isnt this why we all want to see the fight?
That fight is just more evidence to show how Floyd deals with pressure. It's not how many you throw, but how many connects to make an impact on your opponent. The sooner Pac fans realize this the better they'll understand Pac chances of not winning.
I agree, at this point if Pac doesnt get an early upset KO, I dont see him winning a decision. We have seen Pac be outboxed and loose late rounds. When has floyd ever lost any rounds from the second half of the fight onward? almost never, floyd will have pac figured out. Floyd is not just bigger like pac's past opponents he is bigger AND more skilled than pac. People thinking floyd will just crumble the minute pac throws a combination are in for a huge shock. Floyd walked down mosley and had him backing up all night, floyd has taken single flush shots that are harder than anything pac can through, pac has a very slim chance to win.
I think Mayweather would beat Pacquiao, but to say that after watching two fights you can't see how Pacquiao could win is just ludicrous. Floyd has faced no one with the combination of speed, work rate, power and all round offensive capabilities. Judah put Mayweather down and gave him trouble for a few rounds. Judah isn't 1/4 of the fighter Pacquiao is. Old Man Mosley had Mayweather hanging on for dear life. Mayweather isn't invincible, he isn't unbeatable. In the same way that Pacquiao isn't. Not giving Pacquiao any chance is basically admitting that you're a blind fanboy, or *****, to use the colloquialism. Not even the blindest ******* thinks that Pacquiao would just steamroll Mayweather.
I'm actually curious to see Manny's chin in this fight. Not since Marquez, has Manny fought as accurate a puncher as Mayweather. Mayweather I think punches much harder than Marquez as well. People underrate Floyd's power. If he was a weak puncher, then everyone would just bum rush him, but he has some pop and accuracy is a major factor in the fight. Everyone knows Pac leaves himself open to be hit and everyone also knows floyd is a great couterpuncher. Having said all this i don't know if floyd can win on points because pac is going to be the busier fighter. Floyd will have to make manny second guess coming in with those combos and/or really hurt manny at some point in the fight to win in my opinion.
