the dream scenario is...
that cotto beats pacquiao then pacquiao goes back to 140 where he and marquez will get it on for the third time
then cotto - mayweather.. WHOOO!!
i answered yes..pac has a chance...but honestly after seeing pbf so outclassed jmm...jmm who's well known as a great counter puncher who also "defeated" pac on ther last fight...well pac's chance is pretty slim..
pac's weakness obviously are counters, and comparing pbf's skill against the guy who gave him the most challenging fight h ever had...you do the math..
although i am still rooting for PAC..
skill wise, floyd is better but i think that pac is the better fighter. floyd beat a small lightweight who moved up to welter looking fat, weak and slow. how the hell does that translate to floyd being able to whoop pac? or even cotto and shane? a lot of people here obviously got caught in the hype

I dont get this?? Do people honestly think Pacman will beat Mayweather?? Think about it.....anyways..
He can beat mayweather. Mayweather only proved that his skills are still there against a slower JMM. I would give this edge to pbf but don't sleep on pac. He is an unconventional southpaw, odd-angles volume puncher, with speed. IMO, I'd give pac more chance than cotto or mosley assuming his punches could gain the respect of pbf. Mosley looked fast on margarito. he has power and hand speed but I saw no lateral movement that could make pbf think twice in employing that shoulder roll. Cotto is a sleeper though. Can he pressure pbf for the entire 12 rounds? My guess now is no but if they do meet I hope his stamina is already improved so he can take it to pbf.
I hope pac-pbf will happen. Both are unconventional fighters. One defensive, one offensive. Who's style will prevail? Though size would be to PBF advantage, I still give pac a chance. Please note that I'm not saying that Pac will win because as of now, I'm still giving the edge to mayweather. Will know more after pac-cotto. Also hoping that pbf will give cotto and mosley the chance to take that 0 away from. He should know that this are great fights to be made.
Wait after the Cotto fight ... Pac may not be the same after that fight but we'll see how he does... Cotto is a monster. I can't believe ppl r already talkin bout Pac v Floyd.
This happens everytime after an impressive performance; people get caught up in what just happened and go off the deep end. All of a sudden people are questioning whether its even possible at all for Pacquiao to win....take this poll a week from now and watch the results change...even though facts will remain the same.
I dont get this?? Do people honestly think Pacman will beat Mayweather?? Think about it.....anyways..
I gotta see what he does against Cotto. If he can get past Cotto's power and size advantage.... That is huge, but until he does so, I'm not going to comment on Mayweather...to early for that.
I think its pretty safe to say that fight would not happen at 140.
On topic, I see no way Manny can possibly beat Mayweather. He would be made to miss too often and Floyd would counter him effectively. Manny had no real answer to JMM when he countered effectively, I would hate to see what would happen to Manny if he continually missed Floyd with those straight lefts.
I think Pac will probably end up steering clear of this fight to be honest, it is all wrong for him.
I guess we can agree to disagree Dan. Obviously Floyd would be favored. But Floyd relies too much on reflexes and can be hit if you have enough speed, as Judah showed early, and can be bothered by a good jab, as Oscar showed early. JMM's speed has diminished severely since he left 130, whereas Pac's has not, and Pac was much faster to begin with. Yes Marquez has better defense and yes, Floyd will be catching Pac with counters. I just don't think Floyd can stop Pac and will waste much more energy on defense than he did with Marquez, who's punches he could see from a mile away. Also Pac's arms are longer than JMM's, who was screwed every time he tried to get into range.
Like I said, I'd pick Floyd, but Pac definitely has a chance in my mind. The only person at WW that I would pick over Floyd would be Williams, and that'll never happen. Mosley is just too old and can't be judged off of one performance over an exposed cheater. Cotto would be interesting, but Floyd would ultimately prevail. So we'll probably see Floyd unbeaten till he retires again.
LOL, wow. The fact that 13 people voted yes shows how delusional some of the posters here are. It's amazing how some peoples hate can blind them from reality. I'm a Pac fan and all, but he's nowhere near Mayweathers level.
You aren't objective about this at all considering you think so highly of Mayweather you state in another thread that Marquez would be competitive and possibly beat Mosley, Cotto, and Clottey, and only looked so bad because Mayweather is that good.

Hey genius, the poll asks do you think he can beat Mayweather? Picture the first 4 rounds of Floyd/Judah and multiply by 3. Of course it's possible and if you can't see that perhaps you should back away from the nuts.
Mayweather will know he's been in a fight.
Won't know for sure until Pac fights Cotto, and of course it depends on which weight Floyd will fight him. At 140, I like Pac's chances, or at WW, given time to fill into that weight like Floyd has had.

Hey guys I'm not trying to disrespect pacman in anyway here....I'm just trying to voice my opinion here..pacman is a great fighter but I just think mayweather would handle him alot of easier than people think..yes roach is a better trainer than nacho...
Oh yeah I dont think manny will beat Cotto... but it seems everyone is talking pacman/mayweather lately..
Im not sure Cotto vs Mayweather is the fight that all boxing fans want to see. Floyd would just pot shot him and use his speed and movement to avoid any major exchanges, Floyd by UD. If Mosely could have resisted the urge to brawl with Cotto he would have won in the later rounds and got the decision. Pac and Mayweather bring more to the table fan wise, everyone loves Pac and tune in to see his next great victory, many hate Mayweather and watch his fights in hopes to see him get his ass kicked.
The wild card is Cotto, I think he'll beat Pac and screw up the most popular fight in decades.
Pacquaio would get his block knocked off...I'm not saying he doesn't have a chance...but marquez's defense is better than pac's...and if mayweather was able to exploit him like that...what hope would PAC have? and that hand raising taunt that Pac has, mayweather has the speed to hit him in mid pose...
I don't even know if pac can get past cotto. why you talking about pac/floyd already?
Well Floyd fought Judah coming off a loss. He hasn't expressed any desire to fight Cotto (I'll fight Mosley if he beats Cotto,) so who knows? Who else is there for Floyd to fight? We all know he won't fight Williams. Ellerbe has hinted he won't fight Mosley.
maywaether's too big
he has a chance against cotto cos cotto's slower
but mayweathers's just too big
mayweather needs to fight mosley
give the fans what they want
a real competitive fight
but does he have the courage
to take on someone like mosley
Check out my sig.
