    Floyd gets full credit if he beats prime Pacquaio again, right?

        soon we’ll find out how well Floyd has aged and what those shots from Mario did to manny

        he could pull a Bernard and spoil the hell out of the fight

        Floyd has the better fundamentals, jab, body punching, and inside fighting

        steer clear of midrange for an easy night

          anyone who says they aren’t curious to see if Floyd can adjust his style for advanced age like Bernard is lying

            Why didn't Floyd just ask Manny to lend him some money?

              I assume this will be at 147? Floyd will always have the better jab that is for certain, going to during the exhibition watch his feet since he needed that just as much in 2015.

                It's going to be a terrible fight. Manny's offense was very sporadic against Barrios and he didn't move that well. Mayweather was not exactly a high volume puncher in his mid 30s so now imagine him a decade later.

                  where was his body punching in the first fight? he didnt throw any because he was scared of return fire. pac dominated the body punches but sure better body punches for floyd lol his jab was also complete a-ss. he threw it from so far away that it didnt land or barely tickled pacs nose which can hardly be considered a clean punch when it does no impact. pacs jab was rocking floyds head around all fight but i guess floyd gets credit for great defense there or something. things can quickly get flipped when reality doesnt align with preconceived notions. the amazing air jab and body punches that didnt happen. pac following floyd around the ring punching him wow floyd is schooling him...floyd holding and bending over nonstop while his only offense was a pitiful jab and no power punches...floyd fought his fight. thats his fight? it was never about the boxing...

                      Wasn't Manny's hand hurt in the first fight? I know he also had a tear on his right rotator cuff too. I don't want to give him that many excuses because injuries are a big part of boxing and you have to get through them. I thought Mayweather won but it was a very close fight despite Pac being hurt. I'll never forgive Mayweather for not giving the fans a boxing trilogy against Pacquiao when they were in their primes. Boxing needs it's rivalries and story lines to stay relevant in a constant 24 hour Sports news cycle.
