    Has Floyd Mayweather fought anyone like Manny Pacquiao?

    First of all, cong**** to Manny Pacquiao for an incredible performance against Hatton this past Saturday.

    I see many people here are still doubting his abilities by claiming Floyd Mayweather would beat him with ease. What would make one assume that this would happen when in my opinion Floyd has never faced anyone with the style that Pacquiao brings?

    I concur that this would be an exciting fight that either man could win, but not with ease on both sides.

      Floyd knows in the back of his mind that a fight with Pac would be the hardest fight of his career.

        He's never fought anyone as great as Pacquiao, no.

        Style wise I guess you could say Zab, but Pacquiao fights more unpredictably and off rhythm. Also he won't gas or lose concentration

            Zab is near but stamina and power is different story... plus slight edge on speed..

            BTW, pac has never fought a fighter like floyd... though JMM is close in counterpunching..

                Judah, but he's a head-case.

                  I don't think I could compare Pacquiao to Zab in any way simply because Zab isn't as accurate or as controlled all around as Pacquiao is. Zab is a very quick puncher, but he doesn't cut corners after he throws like Pacquiao does. Pacquiao has all the basic fundamentals but takes them to a higher level and throw at odd angles.

                  He definitely fights like no one I've ever seen in the ring. Very compelling fight between him and Floyd.
