    Mayweather threw more and landed more against Delahoya. Including power shots. So your statement is ignorant. And the reason why one judge scored it for Delahoya was because it was a GBP card.

      If Marquez can hurt Pacquiao Mayweather can too.

      I see Pacquiao giving Mayweather a lot of problems in the first 4 or 5 rounds, then Mayweather starts taking over and landing very flush, consistently. He might knock Pacman down but I doubt he'll stop him (unless Roach throws in the towel) and Floyd wins a clear-ish UD

        Only Floyd haters thought that, it should have been a ud for Floyd not a sd...

          I think it's simply Roach looking to get under the skin of Mayweather in order for the mega million $$$ fight to actually be agreed upon and happen so he can make money...and possibly enhance his rep as one of the greatest trainers of all time...

          also so that his talk would give Manny more confidence in beat Floyd...

          However, I see Floyd Mayweather having some shaky early moments as Manny's speed, southpaw stance, in and out, and energy would cause for some adjustment. But Floyd's been hit before, he's been in with all styles, southpaw is nothing new for him, a bigger man is nothing new for him, and he's ALWAYS been able to adjust. I'd pick Floyd to adjust, clip Manny beginning around round 4-5, Manny slows down with bruises and POSSIBLY gets stopped. If not, a dominant (Hatton-like) victory via points.

            The pro Dela Hoya crowd probably helped too and lets be honest this wasn't old weight drained sack of **** Hoya either..

            Floyd may have been even on the cards or down 1 vs hatton after 6 after that tho he proceed to own him for 4 rounds.. this was good Hatton with head movement and a jab. Not the one which looked like a deer in the headlights vs Pac

            Don't get me wrong Pac is a great fighter but Floyd is a great boxer and would beat Pac no doubt in my mind by a wide UD. I think People need to go back and watch some of Floyd's fights to realise this again.. saying that tho after a 2 year lay off? who knows what shape he is in, but if similar to Floyd that beat Hatton..

            Floyd>Pac

              your the ignorant one to say that the reason one judge gave it to hoya was because it was gpb......he would've gotten the nod too in the 2nd mosely fight if thats the case but he did'nt.......look at the compubox records on the pbf vs hoya then tell me floyd landed more punches....

                I think Pac could catch Mayweather cold and drop him in round 1, 2 or 3

                I can just envision my heart jumping into my mouth like it did when Calzaghe got dropped against Jones Jr. and Hopkins

                    Mayweather would beat Pac. The combination of speed and timing would be to much for Pac. The only way I believe Pac would have a chance is if he starts fast against him. If he doesn't hurt Mayweather after 5-6 rounds than he's lost the fight.
