I am no Pacquiao fan, I am no Mayweather fan. Just a boxing fan who knows what he sees, when he sees it.
Mayweather is the #1 P4P fighter in the world, a top 20 ATG, and the best fighter I've watched since becoming a boxing fan as a young teen.
As a human being I think he's arrogant, rude, and at times foolish. But that doesn't take away from his skills or validity as a ATG.
My personal opinion is that Floyd wipes the floor with Manny Pacquiao. I mean with Floyd's timing, power, speed, and size advantage, does Pac really even stand much of a chance? Not in my mind.
Haha, could you imagine Manny lunging in with his straight left trying to tag Floyd? I think it would be check hooks all day. I would even give Floyd a good chance to KO Manny.
What? Floyd has already moved up from featherweight to a point where he is basically at his walking around weight.
and dominated ww....he should move up and to challenge himself...doesn't have to gain more weight if he thinks it will hurt his chances
he could have stopped JMM anytime he wanted but didnt.
dont confuse him not stopping JMM with him not being able to. he hurt the shit outo f JMM with that hook. and plenty other times in the fight. he just didnt go in for the kill
toward the end he was pressing for a knock out and couldn't
although i think mayweather would win against pac... it won't be easy. those lunging left hooks and jabs just won't work against pacman. i don't know what kind of chin pacquiao has but i do think its good enough that mayweather can't knock him out.
i still rather see mayweather fight paul williams than shane, cotto or pac.
when you dominate your class you usually move up in weight not down....pussy.
i don't doubt his boxing skill i think he's genius...just challenge it for once.
after watching this fight...i actually think manny would have better tools than mayweather if only he had quality training when he was younger.

I just don't see how Pac wins rounds against Mayweather. He's too smart to get hit by Pac a lot, and his ring generalship would carry him to victory.
Not many saw Manny Ko'ing Hatton like how he did. I don't think many saw him beting Oscar the way he did (although I did think he would win, but not like that)
He's got speed and power. His movement and legs are fast, and he has good upper body movement too. He's awkward to time and his shows come from weird angles. He now has got 2 hands to think about. He has a high work rate which always gives fits to someone very defensive and that pot shots.
Manny may not beat Mayweather, but he has exactly the tools to do so. You never know in boxing, well a well matched fight that is. The truth is, underdogs rarely win if you look at a boxer without bias.
floyd did not face the real marquez in their. this is a case of floyds smart choices in opponents. you cant judge anythin in that fight. that was a cherrypicked fight to make him look like the greatest ever. before i give him that typ of props then he needs to face the real threats.
I really don't think so, Pacquiao would be moving in and out, fighting at a high tempo, he's fast, throws punches from awkward angles and he's a southpaw, that shoulder roll defense doesn't work as well against southpaws.
This is what i'm talking about. People here are all day dreaming. Guys Pacquiao is not JMM. Not even close. Their style and the way they fight is damn different at all means.
Floyd KOs Pac? WTF? What the hell these people thinking? Floyd can't even stop a slow JMM. Pac knocks Marquez 4 times in two bouts where he is in his natural weight.
floyd is fast too manny comes in he gets ko
I know Floyd is fast, but it's a lot easier to punch at someone slow and in your face trying to box like Marquez. Manny also hit Msrquez almost at will, but he had only the left hand and was kinda 1 dimensional. Manny doesn't do that anymore VS bigger guys. He's got more movement but also a right hand.
This win has made people think Floyd is 100% gonna win VS Manny which to me seems so wrong since it was clear Marquez was not even close to the same fighter that he was.
how u figure that
Morales ( past prime ), Barrera, JMM, Hatton
Corrales, Castillo, DLH ( past prime ), Hatton,
Its close but i'd just give it to Pac, Floyd has never lost so i can understand if you think Floyd is greater
manny has an iron chin are you for real
How does Manny not have a good chin? He certainly has a better chin than Marquez, who just got brutalized and still finished on his feet against Floyd. Floyd does not have the style to knock Pacquaio out.
youve been sippin toomuch pac koolaid...bag back
And you're swingin from Floyd's nutsack, homeboy. Stop dickriding and realize Pacquiao is a legit threat to Mayweather.
Mayweather has had trouble with fast southpaws. Manny has an iron chin, if Mayweather couldn't finish Marquez (who got dropped 4 times over 2 fights by Pac) then he certainly isn't KO'ing Pac (who never went down once against Marquez).
Pac has shown he competes at higher weights better than Marquez and looks explosive, he has carried his power up with him and his speed.
I give Pac the best chance out of anybody in the division.
Even Mosley
Most people have jumped off the Pac bandwagon and onto the Mosley bandwagon because they think it will take a bigger fighter to beat Floyd
I think both stand a good chance TBH
Cotto seems to be left out of this
mayweather has had trouble with fast southpaws. Manny has an iron chin, if mayweather couldn't finish marquez (who got dropped 4 times over 2 fights by pac) then he certainly isn't ko'ing pac (who never went down once against marquez).

manny has an iron chin are you for real
I don't think so man. Floyd is too smart for Manny in the ring. I mean look what he did to a cerebral counter puncher who was supposed to present a difficult style for Floyd. How do you think Pacquiao will do when he opens up and trys to chase Floyd? Lights out.
that is a LW and floyd had 8+lbs of advantage. let's get real. against pac would be a diff story because won't be pac's first fight above 140. second...JMM didn't looked well at 135 so doing this fight was only for the money because everyone knew he was not going to be effective in that weight. 3rd...of all people that floyd can choose to fight...he chose a LW?? there's a lot of WW that can be a good come-back/tune up fight but he choose a LW?? c'mon
also....i'd want a list of the top 20 ATG to see where floyd stands.....
pac has the better resume, he's greater than floyd
floyd has more potential to be greater but he has to beat pac, cotto, williams or mosley to surpass pac
if he beats one of those four he can retire with full respect and a great legacy
how u figure that
I disagree, though I thinks it's'60/40 Floyd.
Floyd has all these natural boxing advantages over PacMan, but Manny can match Floyd's'speed, something JMM couldn't. Also, depending on how the Cotto fight goes, he may carry power with.
Let's not forget that Floyd is somewhat bothered by southpaws, and Manny is better than Chop Chop and Judah.
Floyd could KO Manny, but he'll have to open up to do it, and Floyd doesn't like do that. If he does, he could get caught himself. So, if he does it, it's probably gonna come from a single punch that puts him on queer street.
Mayweather has had trouble with fast southpaws. Manny has an iron chin, if Mayweather couldn't finish Marquez (who got dropped 4 times over 2 fights by Pac) then he certainly isn't KO'ing Pac (who never went down once against Marquez).
