    manny could probably win by out working him. i think manny could take floyd's power for 8-9 rounds and probably gotta lay low for a bit.

    floyd's power/speed/stamina is still there in the later rounds.

      Well manny will be the most difficult fighter of floyds carreer. His athletic ability and power and determination are comparable to floyd. The only thing lacking is skill.
      Which mayweather posses in greater heights. But delahoya came close with a roach based strategy, this is where it will be dangerous for floyd. A roach strategy.

      And also knowing floyd went down from a check hook vs judah. A punch manny is alrdy getting good with. See hatton fight.
      So it will be difficult. And it becomes clear why floyd is hooking up with judah, for sparring. I guess. We cant underestimate his preparation.

        That was a counter hook, not a check hook. Also, Mayweather has improved more since that fight and if he starts early sparring with Judah that tells you he's looking at facing Manny in the future.

          I have no clue how this fight will turn out but I can guarantee that Pacquiao is not winning by UD.

          When it comes to pure boxing, the only opponent that was Pacqiao's better was JMM, and Floyd Mayweather is JMM with head movement and a reach advantage. Pacquiaos best shot at beating Mayweather is by using speed, power, and going for the KO. Roach is delusional if he thinks Pacman is winning UD.

            Everyone knows Pac wouldn't KO Mayweather, he couldn't stop little Marquez.

                That's what we call managing expectations.The truth is Freddie knows Pacquio wont go the distance with the Money Mayweather

                  No he won't KO Mayweather, props to Roach for being honest. Pac's only chance at Mayweather is to keep switching gears as Mayweather switches gears. He better have plan A, B and C laid out since there will be constant adjustments in the fight. If he lays down a fight plan spanning 12 rounds, then he should be fine. Manny's mentally ready though, and you can see it during the post-fight interview when Merchant mentions Maywether. Pac clinches his teeth and a determined expression takes over his face. This will be one for the ages.

                      If he aint too rusty he sure as hell could stop Marquez. He got all those KD's and edged out decision wins. Some people feel Marquez even won...
