i have floyd winning this fight..floyd is a very smart fighter he is also the fastest fighter manny would face...floyd can make round to round adjustments and he is a defensive genius he will not allow himself to get punished like cotto did....pac is one of my favorite fighters i have actually rooted for him in every fight except last night cause i have to go with my fellow country man.....my wife is filipina so she got the last laugh....but i really think floyd takes this fight ...
Pacquiao. Floyd is a defense specialist but he has never faced anyone like Pac.
1. Pac's work rate will force Floyd to defend all 12 rounds with almost no rest.
2. Pac's punches come from different angles. That's one thing that Floyd hasn't experienced. Sooner or later, Pac will land. And we all now know that Pac strikes with intent to hurt, not just to score points.
3. Pac's speed will...without a doubt, penetrate that stupid shoulder roll especially coming from a southpaw. Just as Iron Mike has said before: "Everyone has a game plan until they get hit". Truely applies to the Pacman.
4. Pac has proven that he can take a punch. He's gonna throw a variety of 5/6 puch combos without respecting Floyd feather-like fists. I can see Floyd thinking...WTF?
Can I get an intelligent reply please? And don't even say "So and so is bigger and stronger etc...Pac's never fought a true welter BS".
Good post! I couldn't agree more...Floyd's defense has not seen a boxer w/ pac's offensive skills...

I didn't vote because I have no clue at this point. Floyd runs just as much as Cotto did after the 6th and Manny was having problems hitting him and Mayweathers defense is far better than Cotto's. Also, that jab Cotto used was open all night long, granted its a lot more powerful than just about anything Floyd does, but Floyd could jab his way to a victory in a boring Floyd fight.
Manny on the other hand finds holes in everyone's defense, he's faster than all hell, he can take a punch, and most of all he's a southpaw. Floyd is open to a straight left, and Manny's is the best in boxing and perhaps in history. Add the fact that Manny has improved in every fight he's been in and I really have no clue who would win. I want to say Floyd simply because he's SOOO good defensively, but fawkin Manny is SOOOO good offensively, I really have no idea.
Great Offense beats Great Defense! You need to attack to win, score and do damage... running and shoulder rolling will not gave you a victory thats why Pacquiao beats Floyd by MURDER.
Manny's not gonna box with floyd he's just gonna bum rush and throw 3 punch combinations all day long like he did in the first barrera fight.
Manny takes this.
Leaning towards Floyd... :sad: Floyds style is safety first, Mannys isn't... :(
thats kind of how i see it, I dont think floyd is the better fighter just his style allows him to win. But it is still up in the air
