    Mayweather will be playing keepaway all night long with Pac chasing, its a no brainer that if its a high contact affair PBF will be getting the worst of it.

    The less exciting it is the better for Mayweather, no way PBF can beat Pac straight up, but he can outpoint him in a slappy tappy affair.

    Mayweather will be boring the **** out of us that night, think DLH vs Tito! with Mayweather playing the DLH role, any other scenario and May gets ****ed up. He cant match offense or firepower with Pac.

    It will probably be a disappointment due to Floyd's safety first style.

    Still needs to happen though.

    It'll live up to anticipation for Floyd fans but not emmanuel fans.

    Floyd can throw combinations if he wants. It's usually 2 and occassionally 3. He'll throw more if you're open to being punished like Hatton and Zab.

    emmanuel doesn't know how to fight on the inside, but Floyd is excellent in pocket.

    It will be a Calzaghe vs Hopkins type fight.
    Pac being Calzaghe and Hopkins being Floyd.

    It depends on who wins.

    If Pac wins, it will be because he imposed his style on Floyd, which is a high action, past-paced, crowd-pleasing style.

    If Mayweather wins, it will be because he imposed his style on Pac, which is a slow-paced, low accuracy, high-counter chess match where every round looks the same.

    Should have explained that better. I mean he'd make Pac miss a lot and fight off counters.

    you know I thought about this and it does make sense May being tactical and Manny with the volume punching not all landing but getting credit and a controversial decision

    The last counterpunching artist emmanuel fought, Marquez, was controlling his workrate. Marquez cut it down to only 52 per round. Calzaghe was able to "win" against Hopkins via workrate. Hopkins was too old to control Calzaghe. Try another analogy.

    I don't think the fight will happen. There's nothing more the Filipino can do.
