    you never know what happens when 2 great fighters meet, plus on top of that they'll recieve tons of $. I don't think there is a boxer which turns down 20-30mil$ fight.
    pac is still #1.

    unless he losses to cotto.

        That’s Floyd Mayweather the natural, born to box. His genes spill with boxing blood, it’s all he knows. It’s the thing he was meant to do. Floyd has worked hard but never as hard as Pacquiao. He hasn’t had too. His footwork and balance have always been top notch. His defensive ability is “Willie Pep like”. His hand speed is blurry, his combinations blistering. Not with a lot of power mind you, but accurate and stinging. Combine this with a newly discovered jab (thank you daddy Floyd) and what you have is a nearly impossible mountain to climb especially if you’re eyeing him from the opposite corner.

        Floyd is two inches taller then Manny and with a reach advantage of… five inches. Yep, five inches, I can certainly see Floyd in the middle of the ring using this advantage. He’s the bigger man and yes the quicker one. Manny has never faced anyone like Floyd Mayweather, if he has any doubts he can ask his friend Juan Manual Marquez what it was like. I don’t think he’d like the answers.

        Floyd will “out quick” Manny and hang with him step for step. Manny will find himself on the defensive more as Mayweather’s combinations pepper him. He might get a little reckless as Floyd starts to build a lead in the middle rounds. Manny will continue to try and throttle Floyd, but the money is in the bank as well as the decision.

        So there you have it, natural ability versus ability learned and nurtured. It’s the old argument of levels of talent and it seems at least to me that Mayweather has a more of them than Pacquiao.
        Okay, where do i start. First, if Floyd is soo natural, why does he have to use his elbows? Not just to block, but to actually hit his opponents with them. I don't remember elbows being allowed or was ever part of boxing. Second, ask JMM, why would anyone bother asking JMM or even compare JMM when JMM was nothing but a punching bag and was actually slower than George Foreman when JMM fought Floyd. I would agree that if Floyd is able to implement the same defensive technique that he used against JMM and be succesful with it , then Manny has no chance of winning. Because what you can't hit, you can't hurt, and you can't score, plain and simple. But i truly believe Manny's speed and technique will be able to break down Floyd's defense and connect on Floyd. As always, JMHO.

          Floyds not worried about Pacman, Cotto or Mosley....

          Pac would be the easiest of the three because Floyd...
          1. is faster
          2. has better defense
          3. has a better jab
          4. is a better boxer period
          5. is taller and has a longer reach
          Pac is probaly stronger...but I don't know if I'd really agree to this notion 100%...because we've yet to see Pac in the ring with a full fledged WW...ODLH was drained and dosen't count and Cotto had to dam near kill himself to make 147 in the past and now he's being asked to weigh in under 147...Ridiculous!!!

          Mosley and Cotto
          1. Are both stronger

          Floyd has the all of the same advantages that he'd have against Pac...

          Floyd wants the lions share for all of these fights and the one which brings the most will get the fight...

          Floyd being scared is a ridiculous notion...He's offered to fight all of these guys in the past.

          Only boxer within his weight range that would bring enough money to motivate him to fight would probaly be PWill...Now that would be an interesting matchup...a toss-up in my opinion.

            true story

            Imagine if the Lakers could make their own schedule?

            Nah, scratch that, Kobe wouldn't' be content with beating on scrub teams.

              Sadly,

              those are his most memorable and meaningful fights.



              I mean damn, at least try and tangle with Kermit Cintron.
