Andy (Sydney, Australia): Hi Dan, why is it Anthony Mundine is constantly written off as a big player at Middleweight. And why is a fight between he and Pavlik not being talked about. His speed could cause Kelly real problems. Thanks

Dan Rafael: (1:48 PM ET ) Nobody here cares one iota about Mundine. Let him fight (and beat) a top opponent instead of cherry picking everyone and winning bogus belts. I'm not impressed at all.

Andy (Sydney, Australia): Dan i respect your writing. But Anthony Mundine will prove you wrong. Im telling you the guy will beat Pavlik. His lateral movement will give Kelly problems all night. Can't wait to read your reports then.

Dan Rafael: (2:00 PM ET ) That fight isn't happening anyway, so whatever.

What I like about Floyd is that he will do anything to win, he does not care about being booed when he's "running". He clinches, elbows, pushes his opponents, Floyd loves the Jab to the body. Like Manny, Floyd is never a stationary target, he stays mobile and is one of the best fighters fighting off the ropes. Floyd's Jab will save him in this fight, he'll have to use it all day.

Manny Pacquiao is very powerful and aggresive, he'll be looking for his straight left when ever he can. Manny is not afraid of exchanging, but Floyd is not the type to exchange, he is defense first meaning he will box "run". Manny will have slow Floyd down by going to the body, but even then, Manny'll have to look out from getting pot shot upstairs while Floyd is covering his body with his right hand free to throw at Manny's head. The Pacman's best way to beat Floyd is, of course, make Floyd fight. Manny's work rate/stamina will be his best asset ni this fight, he'll have to somehow get Floyd out of his defense game(easier said than done) andmake him fight his fight. Pacman made JMM fight his fight in their first fight, he'll have to do that to Floyd.

How do you people think the fight will play out?

First I want to say that Mayweather's doesn't fall under the typical Pacquiao opponent and the same could be said to Pacquiao (Except JMM) somewhat.

Going to the body against Pacquiao is a dangrous, gotta be careful not to get hit upstairs. The best way to hit Pac to the body is the "Jab to the body" and Mayweather has a GREAT jab to the body. The "Jab to the body" is an underated punch, we all saw Corrales, Sosa and Zab gass because of it, I laughed when Roger Mayweather said Ali never wen't to the body, he was WRONG because Ali jabbed to the body. Floyd would have to do this in order to slow down Pacquaio/ stop him in his tracks

It is still dangrous but Mayweather has the reach and speed to get out of there. Alot of people here are saying Mayweather will go toe to toe, NOT IN THE 1ST 5 ROUNDS, I don't think so, coming foward against Pacquiao is a bad idea and Mayweather isn't the type to jump on a guy early, atleast not against someone as elite as Pacquiao.

I was going threw videos on youtube and someone mentioned how Hatton and DLH were able to keep Floyd on the defensive, doing that will stop Floyd from going on the offensive . Pacquiao is capable of that and has more then enough stamina to do so, I've already said Pacquiao WORRIES ME. The difference between having Hatton or DLH pin you against the ropes as oppose to Pacquiao is that Hatton and DLH will be there for you to return fire, Pacquiao isn't, he'll continue to move

So, El Dominicano isn't as confident as he makes himself out to be, I see Floyd moving alot, landing the counter right, jab to the body and doing his thing during the clinches and maybe he'll frustrate Pacquiao with an elbow or forearm to his face, I hope . One thing I want to say is, if Mayweather has him hurt, I'm about 100% sure Mayweather won't allow him to recover and finish him

I do give Pacquiao a very good chance though, now keep it cool

YOU MADE SOME VERY GOOD POINTS SPECIALLY WITH THE JAB TO THE BODY.BUT I DNT THINK fLOYD WILL NEED THAT AGAINST PACMAN.PACMAN IS A WILD STALLION AND FLOYD A TECHNITIAN WHEN IT COMES TO BOXING SO IHIS FIGHT IS GOING TO BE ALOT EASIER THAN PLP THINK. FLOYD BY WAY 6 KO!!!!

[Toney Loc]

i figured. of course manny hasn't fought someone as good as floyd. and vice versa. this 2 are the best of this decade.



they do. i'm hoping manny's speed and workrate can give floyd problems as well. i hope he has enough pop at 140-147 to hurt floyd. if he doesn't.........not good.

I think Manny can hurt Mr boat buyer but I believe Floyd's defense is just to good to get caught with something clean. But Manny's speed is out of this world, though.

we'll see.

i'm not saying manny will blow him out but i think he can land some shots.

floyd will have to change it up though. he can't lay on the ropes like he does when he's playing around with people.

HAHAHAHAHA. Boxa still riding the Mundine Roller Coaster. Has he not realized that that this particular roller coaster only goes down?
