    yeah i agree with how good floyd is

    i just think the angles that pacman comes in at will b too much for floyd

    his punch output will put floyd off from engaging and he will become very defensive once pacman start getting some rythym

    its a very hard fight too call and pacuiao will have to have his best night to beat floyd whereas floyd could have a bad fight and still win


    and i definately agree with how important foot work is in boxing

    ill probably make a threat about this 2moro when im better prepared for a discussion and disagreements

    I would have liked to see mayweather go down to 130 and fight Marquez

    I will ask you every the same question I have asked every single person picking Pac to beat Floyd and have not yet recieved an answer to:

    What did JMM do to trouble Pac in their 24 rounds together, that Floyd will not be able to do also. What is stopping Roger and Sr from watching those two fights and directing Floyd to do the exact same thing, only he will have better reflexes, better footwork, faster hands, tougher chin, much stronger, much longer reach???

    Pac threw 68 punches average per round vs Oscar, Hatton, and Cotto. Imagine what Floyd will cut it down by.

    There are other factors to consider that make Floyd winning a ridiculous notion:

    1. Floyd Mayweather is a homosexual and therefore not tough.
    2. Floyd has never faced a top level fighter in his whole career because he is dodging everyone.
    3. Pac has the whole angles thing.
    4. Floyd is on steroids and will be off the drugs for the fight because of the testing.
    5. Leonard Ellerbe is a homosexual.
    6. Mosley was a terrible opponent and the fight proved nothing.
    7. Marquez was a terrible opponent and the fight proved nothing.
    8. Floyd's legs are shot...Pope Freddie says so.
    9. Floyd has no chin.
    10 Pac is a tornado!

    Pacquaio!!!!!

    Leon you have a crush on me don't you :lol:

    I didn't say Floyd isn't superior to Marquez, I'm saying they're not the same guy. Your comparing apples and oranges. It's like comparing Whitaker to Winky Wright. They have completely different styles. Marquez is a much more traditional, technical boxer. Mayweather is a potshot artist. They're both counter punchers, but they go about their work in completely different ways.

    From a style perspective, you could point out things in Pac that will give Floyd trouble, and vice versa. That's what makes the fight intriguing. I personally think Pac will beat Floyd and that's always been my opinion. I look at the way Floyd has dealt with southpaws in the past and I see Manny giving him hell. That's me though; believe what you want. The truth will come out when they finally meet up.

    Manny don't fight like Zab Judah or Corley.

    Floyd's most recent southpaw "troubles" are older than pac's most recent issues against counter punchers.

    Floyd actually dominated all the southpaws he's fought, but the same can't be said for Pac and his counterpuncher troubles.

    JMM was able to survive Pac's onslaughts. His ability to take a beating at times enabled him to enjoy the success that he was able to have against Pac. I vehemently doubt that Mayweather is capable of enduring similar punishment. Then again Floyd probably wouldn't fight Pac the same way as JMM did which pretty much disqualifies Pac's struggles against JMM as a viable gauge.

    Castillo post Corrales was a different fighter, terrible argument.

    Look man, marquez countered pacquiao but followed up with 3-4 punch combinations to catch pac while he was trying to get out of the way. In floyds 3 most recent fights when have you seen floyd hit someone or throw 3-4 punch combinations?

    throwing 1 punch or 2 punches on pacquiao and being extremely economical with what you throw will be difficult to beat pacquiao..

    I was going to ask you to point out what Pac will do "stylistically" to make him favored in a fight with Floyd but then I reread your post and remembered your a ****ing ****** so I'll take a pass. I would ask what southpaws have given Floyd so much trouble but again reading your response will just be an irritating waste of time.

    Just remember here friend, I picked Mayweather clear UD over Marquez, and was in the minority in this forum to say that Mayweather would embarass Shane Mosley.

    Imo a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is'nt going to be any more competitive than the Marquez or Mosley fight. In fact, because of Pacquia's commitment to put alot of zip in his shots, I think Pac is going to leave himself exposed and the fight has a good chance to end in a KO for Mayweather.
