This is the fight everyone wants to see. I hope it happens,too.

Pac is faster, has more power, has a higher workrate. Mr boat buyer is bigger, stronger, has better defense, counters well. I think Pac can give him a fight at 140, but he still gets countered like crazy and eventually stopped.

I think floyd is the favorite because he's the bigger guy

Don't get me wrong, this is a close fight but some of the few things that bother Mayweather are speed and the southpaw stance. He had trouble with Corley's right hook and speed even though he beat him comfortably, he had trouble with Judah's speed, right hook and left hand too. I think Manny is faster, more accurate and outright better than these two guys. Manny is a nightmare for Floyd. I wasn't completely sold to the idea that Manny was still a force at higher weights before last night, but now I'm a believer.

After giving it some thought, if this fight happens, I'd pick Manny. His southpaw stance, incredible right hook and left hand combined with his tazmanian devil like speed and approach to boxing will lead him to a victory against Floyd. I sincerily hope this fight happens.

I see you didnt put boxing mind in your post, thats the most important thing. Really shouldnt take anything from last night's fight Ricky isnt too smart and fought amateurish. Zab was faster than Floyd, you dont think Floyd can do everything better than Morales? I guarantee the ref will stop the fight or Floyd will just knock Manny out, its not hard to see really. All he has to do is come forward with hands up, walk to the left, left hook right hand all night, right hand left hook.

It will happen eventually, it has to. There will be insane amounts of pressure on both fighters to make it happen over the next year or 2 and the pay check will be enormous.

They will clash eventually.

Floyd seems to be hanging out with Zab Judah now. That is probably a good guy to have in the gym to spar with you if you want to get ready for Manny.

I think it is a very interesting fight because they have very contrasting styles. Floyd could be open for the punches you say but Manny is probably there to be hit by Floyd's straight right hand and possibly his left hook. I think there are reasons for picking either guy and that is what makes this such a beautiful fight.

Pacquiao has blazing handspeed and jumps in and out. He will get countered a lot. He makes plenty of mistakes. Floyd will drop his ass if they fight. Mark my words. Floyd doesn't lose to midgets...

**skullduggery** · 05-03-2009, 05:24 PM

because he won big last night..... that really the only reason you have
