It's possible but I don't think it will happen. Cotto got put down by two mistakes he made. Mistakes that Floyd would never make. Even though Cotto was fairly marked up by the end, Manny had to work pretty hard to find his openings to land on Cotto. He did most of the damage after the second knockdown when he hurt Cotto and had him backpedalling after that. I think Floyd is gonna cut Manny's activity in half, smother his flurries and just all out frustrate him. I'm looking forward to seeing Roach's gameplan and if Pac can implement it though.
pac hurts or if not KD/KO's most of all his opponents. floyd wont be able to escape his punches and I just wanna see if floyd can take a good punch from power pac. Plus I dont see how some folks think this is going to be a boring fight. Pac is one of the most exciting fighters and it's a gurantee to be a good fight.
Its hard to Knock any body down that runs from you. Just like in the Cotto fight, he got knocked down by a glancing right hook. Only God knows what would have happened if that punch hadn't hit his shoulder before it reached his jaw !!
Its gonna be tricky.. JMM , ODLH, Hatton didn't have the foot work, the QUICK foot movements in all different directions, and neither does Mayweather for that fact,,,,,Just watched it again and its not there to match Manny's !!!
One constant Mayweather does when he leaps in with the left hook , is his Jaw is up in the air , every time. It will be cool when Pac times that with his meteorite left and see Dumbassweather on his back for the first time.
Mayweather has a habit of leaning down to his right, a good time to nail the left side with the right hook and come back with the left uppercut.
MayweatherNeedsHisAssWhupped is open when leaning back on the run, yes RUN, HE's a RUNNER, he is open for Pacs straight left.
Neither man has faced another opponent like each other. The toekissers of Mayweather claim he can't be beat. Ali made that claim, AAAAAAAAAAAah !!!!! Ali Frazier I !!!!! Any body can be beat. Pac can be beat !!
Roach and Pac vs Roger and Floyd is the match, you have to go with the trainer and the fighter. There is no doubt in my mind that Roach KNOWS how to beat Floyd, There is no doubt in my mind that Roger is full of shit ! He is a cowardly woman beater that QUIT with his head hangin down sitting on the stool and claims he knows all there is to know about boxing.
Roach will have the plan and he will make sure Pac will carry it out. Pac will be in condition to Run May down at the right time. Not bum rush but in time walk his ass down.
I was hoping for a KO, now I want Pac to Knock him down but just beat him so there is no excuse of some lucky punch
it wasnt ruled a knock down because judah stepped on floyds foot causing him to lose his balance
That was clearly an error as Floyd was send down by a punch.
I thought that was Carlos Hernandez mate.
Anyway, no he will not.
It was Chavez. The Hernandez fight went to a decision. The Chavez fight, despite Mayweather's injury, was stopped by Chavez trainer, Buddy McGirt, after the 9th round.
I thought that was Carlos Hernandez mate.
Anyway, no he will not.
Yes, it was Carlos. And it was his glove again that touched the canvas, not his knee.
its possible...as is anything in the world of sports. If Manny lands a good clean shot he definitely has the power to knock Floyd down.
But will it happen on March 13, that remains to be seen of course.
Mayweather has already been "officially" knocked down. It came in a fight against Jesus Chavez in 2001. Mayweather hit Chavez with a punch, but injured his hand and fell to his knees. The ref ruled it a knockdown. However, to answer your qeustion -- Pac will not knock him down!!

wasn't ruled a knockdown so it ain't official
I know it's not official, but it happened. We don't use replay in the sport, so shit that would be change in hindsight never is. Technically Floyd has suffered a few freak KD's- official or not.
Anyway- nah, I don't think Manny will KD Floyd.

I didn't know that. Now I know- and knowing is half the battle. (G.I. Joe, anyone?)

No because even though I'm a fan of his (and Manny's, actually) and he won the fight, Zab Judah knocked him down in the early part of their encounter. His glove, on replay, clearly touched the canvas when he was knocked off balance. That's technically a knock down. It wasn't serious, and it was a split second, but rules are rules.
So, no, Floyd will not get his ass knocked down for the first time against Manny Pacquiao.

I thought the same for Pac-Cotto homie but this guy Pac can't be doubted for sht IMO. I really thought Pac would not be able to KD Cotto since a Plastered Margs took 11 rds to soften him up.
It's hard to stay on your feet when you get hit by punches you do not see coming.
I think Pac will get a KD.
There won't be near enuf contact in this fight for anybody to leave their feet, unless it's just a flash.
No.
There will be no KO and no KD's in this fight.
