Anyone who KNOWS boxing KNOWS that u can never say never in a big fight.
I didnt believe Pac could take those Cotto shots. Floyd looks to have the style to beat Pac comfortably, but who knows? Oscar gave Floyd a half decent fight, Castillo gave him problems, its possible Pac could win.
oh for sure!!...its VERY possible for Manny to win.....but it's HIGHLY unlikely at the same time!!....I hope that made sense
The last boxer to underestimate Pacquiao was cotto...Look what happened....
its not about underestimating!!.....Pacquiao is GREAT but Floyd has the STYLE and boxing skills that Cotto, DLH, Hatton or none of those guys he's fought has.....Manny basicly overwhelmed them guys who possessed no upper body movement.... who were left-handed dominant or one handed fighters.....you heard Jim Lampley say that "Pacquiao's 2 hands are better than Cotto's 1".......thats how I see things......I'm a boxing fan and NOT a cheerleader!!.....unless my dudes B.Hop, Mosley, USS, and Clottey are involved ......Bless!!
floyd had tough fights with delahoya, close 6 rounds with hatton and was beaten by castillo, so how is he going to school pacquiao. pacs style is a nightmare for floyd. floyd can shoulder roll and duck fighters that are slow and only throw 1-2 but how is he going to defend against pacs combos, blistering speed and angles.
ive heard from a few people that have met him that said he was very humble, polite, and cool one on one.
and when in front of the camera, his money may character turns on
It's show business. And when Pacquiao-Mayweather 24/7 is made, the charm will get turn up a notch.

(Reads youtube comments, and what do I find? Pac fans saying they don't want the fight for whatever reason) Like I said, they are the only ones I see saying this. Not all but some.
The few and far between don't want it to happen. I get the feeling they
know the end result. 'Cause the majority is demanding it.

I disagree that EVERYBODY hates him. if you are referring to message boards?...of course..But how can he be the biggest PPV Draw in boxing and be hated? He is very will liked in the entertainment industry, hip hop community and sports world. He has been in commercials and on television, on WWE....Floyd is a star just like Manny Pacquiao is a star. I don't see why people try to discredit either. Its just immature posters who don't know the difference between being a fan of a fighter and being a fan of the sport of boxing.
Couldn't have said it better.

Good point.
Pac's at least better than he was when he last lost. Even if Floyd doesn't see it technically, Pac is sure stronger than ever before, has at least kept the same speed of hand and foot...something Floyd hasn't been able to do since his move up to 147 over the years.
One thing I've mentioned before with Pac is his willingness to want to improve both technically and physically. That's why he has Roach and Ariza...that's why he stays active.
This is true. Manny has looked spectacular in his most recent bouts.

Last time i saw him talk about an opponent like that, he was talking about Gatti (R.I.P.) guess how the fight turned out to be? Easy work.
Something tells me Floyd will be out to prove once for all who is the top draw in the sport. When the spotlight comes on, it'll be showtime.
I have no doubt Manny will put on his best performance to date.
