    you just answered it for me. He hasnt HAD to face adversity so where has he had to show his heart? The so called greatest of all time hasnt taken on the big challenges so we can see what he is made of. Both in the ring(vs tougher opposition being tested more) and out of the ring for simply making these fights happen!

    Pac meanwhile has faced adversity many times and come through as well as taking on far greater opposition.

    It has nothing to do with not getting hit or not like you and that bill butcher guy have pointed out

    Mayweather has definitely been tagged throughout his career, and he's come out with flying colours. If someone wants to make it even, that's alright, but I don't see ANY grounds for suggesting Pacquiao has a BETTER chin than Floyd. I understand your argument, though.

    Before Pac fought HAtton, DLH and Cotto, Mayweathers resume was greater. So its not like Pacs been fighting at that much a higher level then Mayweather, so shut up moron you do not know what you're talking about let me learn ya something. PAcquiao gets hit because he has a porous defense and bad footwork. ****, Eric Morales has better footwork then Pac. Just because he can bounce around doesnt mean he has better footwork. You should have learned that after the ass whipping Kessler got.

    Disagree with this. The reason why Pac wins is because of his speed. That is his biggest asset. His opponents do not see the punches coming. Lets look at common opponents:

    Hatton: Half an hour after the bout he spoke to Hopkins who said Hatton had no idea what punch knocked him out or where it came from.

    De La Hoya: When DLHs corner threw in the towel they said 'there's no point continuing - he's TOO FAST'

    Nothing was said about Mayweather's speed after he fought both these opponents.

    Floyd will probably beat Pac due to his defense and skills. BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT PAC IS MUCH MUCH FASTER.

    You banana. The guy took huge shots from a legit WW and was never in trouble. You're either blind or just trying to wind people up.

    Power: Pacquiao

    Accuracy: Pacquiao

    Speed: PACQUIAO

    Ring Intelligence: Mayweather

    Adaptability: Mayweather

    Defense: Mayweather

    Inside Work: Pacquiao

    Chin: Pacquiao

    Stamina: Pacquiao (Pac fights at full steam for the whole fight and still has some left. Floyd conserves energy and potshots)

    Trainer: Pacquiao

    Footwork: Pacquaio (MW has great footwork but Pacquaio darts in and out and all over the ring like a Ninja)

    Heart: Pacquaio - no doubt. The guy has a heart the size of an elephants balls. Mayweather won't even fight a top WW. He has no heart.

    Intangibles: Mayweather, reach, size and weight advantage.

    Prediction: Mayweather UD. Mayweather's size, reach and defensive skills will mean Pac won't even get a chance to fight. But with his speed he WILL buzz Mayweather a few times. But I see this fight going to a UD decision to Mayweather. A great defensive fighter beats a great offensive fighter.

    You can have all the advantage, but all it takes is just one punch.
