Pacquiao is incredible, but Mayweather will beat him

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Manny gets hit too easily. Against a prime, non catchweight, not shot, Mayweather, he will meet his waterloo.

Cotto clearly lost all his punch resistance, was clearly affected by the cw and has no heart left after Tony and Clottey ruined him.

Mayweather will beat Pac easily and maybe k.o him.

LOL...jus sad

There's no question Pacquiao is an amazing fighter and a top 20 ATG at the very least. His speed, power, and chin have all gotten better as he's gone up the scales, and he truly deserves the distinction of P4P #1.

That being said, I don't see him beating Floyd Mayweather. Floyd's ring smarts, reflexes, and boxing ability are just too much for Manny.

Dan,
Great summary on Floyd, everyone knows how Floyd figh, so with that being said, let's look at Pac has done to a prime, "stronger", "bigger", technical Cotto.

Cotto proved in the first 4 or 5 rounds (despite knock downs) that he can box Pac. That Jab was the ideal weapon as many people predicted it to be. With all respect to Pac, I believe Cotto lost his composure and couldn't re-establish himself because of Pressure.

That same pressure is what will most likely be the issue in Floyd's case. Cotto too is a ring savvy boxer with good reflex and "above great" boxing ability. I cannot begin to predict who would win the fight, but to say that it's TOO much for Manny is a bold statement that at this point fresh from seeing the Pac/Cotto fight, is too finite.

I think Pac has the speed, reflexes, angles, and volume to potentially outwork, outpace, and outfight Floyd...and I didn't even mention Roach as a great trainer. So...with that being said...Pac has a pretty damn good chance at Mayweather. We will see...if this fight ever happens. I'm sure Floyd peeps can debate this...I can actually come up with a rebuttle...but I'll let them do that lol...Later peeps.

I can see why people are picking Mayweather to win, but after Saturday I have to believe that Pacquiao can find a way to win.

War Pac Man.

Floyd is good, but how good is he, he didnt fight like pacman style though he fight several southpaw, this should be a good fight. the former P4P king and The Reigning P4P King. i got 50/50 the best will win

I think Floyd wins. He is more athletic...

The only Way Pac beats him is if Floyd has trouble with the southpaw stance. Floyds defensive maneuvers really only work against an orthodox fighter. That said Floyd has a longer reach.

Pacquiao needs to box, and really, really attack when Floyd hit's the ropes. Pacquiao is good in the middle of the ring but Floyd is also good and jumping out of the way.

This is just an amazing fight.

The one thing I will say though is, Floyd is not going to hurt Pacquiao at any stage of the fight.

[sycomantz]

floyd is going in their to prove a point. hes going to try and hurt pac. i see a TKO or potential KOof pac.

unlike Cotto. Cotto hit pac with some big shots but he didnt hit him with alot of shots.

Floyd si going to hit Pac with alot of clean shots and the damage will build from accumulation. same thing Pac did to cotto. it was accumulation. people never thought May would KO hatton and he said he would.

FLoyd is winning by TKO or even a KO. hes going in their to hurt Pac

That comment is true if the other person wasn't pac. lol...Pac has a work ethic that is highly regarded...and confirmed as of 11/14/2009.

[TRAVI$]

I favour Floyd, but you never know with Pac...
All that speed and all that power, anything could happen.

[KingAthurNo1]

How in any way can u critisise floyd if he wins the fight on the back peddal, hell even cotto knew he couldn't go toe to toe with pacquiao. You ever heard of ring intelligence, if u can't win a slug fest you move dodge and strike. I recon if pacquiao doesn't K.O floyd which is likely considering floyd is the best defensive fighter in boxing right now i can see mayweather winning by D.
