Before last night I would have gave the edge to Manny over Floyd. Now I am sure that Mayweather beats Pac. Simply because Manny needs someone to stand in front of him. Manny looked great when Cotto stood and traded with him(something Floyd will not do), Manny landed flush when Cotto lunged in and swung wild(also something Floyd will not do). When Cotto started trying to stay away, Manny could not let off combinations. Cotto started backing away and using his jab, thats when Manny didn't look so great or land so flush. Instead Manny was getting frustrated and stopping in the middle of the ring with his hands down. Floyd will do that to him all night. Floyd by wide UD in similar fashion as the Marquez fight. I think it will be bad match making on Pacquiaos handlers part if the fight is made.
Against Marquez.
sure he did.
it would be weird to see the much bigger stronger faster floyd to just sit and counter against a smaller older slower blownup LW counterpuncher LOL.
I too think Floyd would beat him 100 percent. Manny throws a lot, too much opportunity for Floyd to counter and do it by his shoulder roll defense.
I would LOVE for Manny to win but I have to be logical with myself.

you breakdown how mayweather will beat pacquiao by saying all mayweather WILL NOT DO. the only thing i understood from your post that mayweather WILL DO is jabbing like cotto. since when did mayweather employed a lot of jabs in a fight like cotto?
Cotto couldn't seem to sustain the attack with the jab consistently as was evident by his corner's urgency to utilize it more often.
At times, Cotto would catch Manny with a solid shot and stand back to admire himself. Floyd will be very different.
However, I'm almost certain Manny will start off quicker against Floyd than he did against Cotto, simply to accumulate points early in the fight.
Floyd has much better defense than Cotto.
100% you might eat your own words.
Seems like your now eating the words from your own screen name. This is not a hate pac thread. I just think Floyd will win a fight between the two. That is ok for me to have my own opinion right. You guys take me saying I think Pac will lose as me saying I think pac sucks. Not the case, Pac is fighter of the decade.

You have a point. However, I'm not going to speak on a May vs Pac fight until the fight is announced.
it's sad how kids try to get attention these days.
food for thought- imagine what manny would have done to marquez at 145.
after what i saw last night, i really don't think floyd could handle manny's onslaught for 12 rounds. a southpaw with all that power and speed, floyd would get knocked out,
it would be smarter for floyd to wait for a mosley fight.
Its sad that I have to take down my sig and avitar just so that dumbasses can understand that this is a thread about the style match up of Floyd and Manny. Nothing to do with JMM.

i agree.pbf all the way
In ur dreams... Pac by KO if they fight if floyd doesnt run that is.
Why shouldnt Floyd fight his fight. Telling Floyd to not run and to instead trade shots will be like telling Manny to not trade shots and instead run.
Mayweather has to be more active...more active then he was against Zab Judah. Land lead right hands and tie him up. The beauty of Mayweather's lead right hand is if he misses, he still ties you up in the process, not allowing the opponent to get off. We also have to consider that Cotto faught one-handed and I did say Cotto didn't have a good enough right hand. I expected all this, didn't expect Cotto to do that good though.
I'm 50/50 Poetry, I really am. But I willing to bet all that Mayweather wins.
I thought Floyd was very active against Zab. I know what you mean but if you add in the fact that Pac will let his hands go alot more than Zab, then Floyd will be even more active just because Pac will be more aggressive than Zab
Pretty much always how I have saw it. It is an interesting fight though one that everyone wants to see.
It is a hard fight for Manny to win (IMO) but he would be getting rewarded handsomely for this fight so that is not terrible matchmaking since this is prize fighting after all.

Than Manny will have no choice, but to pound him against the ropes and to the corner.
