Do you guys actually think Pacquiao will be able to hit Mayweather consistently?

[Technical_Skill]

Pacquiao has the ablity to give floyd serious problems early on, but anyhow floyd works him out, pac could end up getting hurt. The lunging in with leads in particular is something in particular that could really allow mayweather to capitalize on him.

I can see pac taking the majority of the early rounds, if floyd can time him coming in, he might not go 12.

I just think it will be a better fight now given where Floyd is possibly at. If this was the Floyd that fought below 147 and when he was active, forget it...Floyd would win.

But like I pointed out before, given all that has happened and where Floyd might be at this stage of his career, it will force him to win while possibly being declined which is said to be where "Great" fighters make their mark. I really want to see him pushed and made uncomfortable. He was before but that was long ago in the lower weight divisions at his absolute best.
If he wins, it will show that he can still win as he slowly declines. But if he does win...I want to see him back in the ring with Cotto or a WW unless he retires but the L.A. Times article indicated that he is going to fight 3x a year. Maybe he really does need the money unless he is trying to set a legacy and understands activity is key for a fighter's success.




The only thing I don't want to see is the demand that Floyd comes down to far in weight. I would prefer it to be at 147 with possibly a "cap" on the fight-time weight of 149. This will let both fighters make weight easier on the scales and show up healthy.
Although it would be interesting to see where Floyd is at physically since I wonder if he still will show up under 150 for his fights or will he take off the water weight and put it back on 10+ pounds like others do if his body has grown some.

I want to see how good Mayweather performs in the JMM fight first. I think that Manny and Floyd would make an excellent fight a much more competitive match than Hatton/Pac.

I think that Floyd could beat Manny and Manny could beat Floyd, depending on who has the better night. I think Floyd will naturally be bigger and maybe stronger but Manny will have the speed by a little. I think that Floyd is good at seeing how a guy throws a punch and setting the guy up for counters. Pacman throws too many punches and from different angles, so it will be hard to set up a plan and think "down the road" while simultaneously trying to not be hit with a barrage of punches.

Pac will go in and throw a combo consisting of multiple punches (at least 4 or more) and move back out. I could see if he was just standing there in front of Mayweather throwing punches the whole round that he could counter well with an uppercut or something but I don't think he will stand there.

Floyd throws a quick right and has a sharp left hook which will make it hard for Manny to duck. I just think Pac will out work him with volume and make it hard for Floyd to fight a patient fight and throw him off mentally and frustrate him.

Before Floyd announced his comeback.Roach said Floyd was too skilful and would make for a boring fight.

This fight wont even be competitive,it will be a beatdown.Manny will be KOed,he better fight people like Cotto and not Floyd

LOL, you sound bitter. All I gotta say is it took Floyd 10 rds and he could not do half of what Manny did in under 2 rds.

Floyd better look out

word and manny also did it at rickys weight and his first time at 140

c'mon floyd fans, give pac some credit... that way when floyd beats pac, floyd actually get credit for doing it.

This fight would disappoint alot of people that really want to see Mayweather lose, JMM has more chance of beating Mayweather than pacman.

I saw enough in 2 rounds to know that pacman would fight Mayweather the same way he fought Hatton.................Easy Mayweather UD or TKO 11 roound

lol, Thats what i was thinking Mayweather fans shouldnt argue it, They should all agree that pacman would KO Mayweather because when the fight happens and Mayweather wins easily then it would great for him.

[MANGLER]

No. At 140 he can give Mr boat buyer a decent fight, but he'll get KTFO eventually.
