    Honestly, I can see any scenario for the way this fight ends except an early stoppage or KO on either side. If either managed that, I would really be shocked. I like Manny by TKO in the later rounds. What I like about Manny is that most boxers will only throw a 3-4 punch combo but he throws higher volume punch combos and can miss with the first few but will not stop until they get through. I think that that throws people off because when they think he's almost finshed, he just keeps coming at all angles. From watching the Hatton and Cotto fights, he also throws really digging body punches. I would want to test the body and stamina of Mayweather but of course it is easier said than done. If he gets Mayweather hurt, I'm confident though he will get him out of there. I can also see Mayweather winning a decsion due to accuracy and staying on the outside with his jab. The thing I got from the Marquez fight is that his jab is ultra fast and he has very impressive reflexes and defense. The only thing that worries me is that Pacquiao fought a bit too flat footed against Cotto. My dream come true would be if he pulled a Barrera against Hamed and ended it with a nasty KO.

      I think it's a bit early for "official predictions" for a fight that has yet to be signed. Oh well. To each his own.

        Mayweather by boring safety-first decision win. Pacquiao will chase Mayweather Jr all across that big-ass ring and he'll fall into Floyds trap like 40 fighters have. I don't want that to happen, I just don't see any other outcome. Floyd will be leaving the ring yelling I told you so!

          Tough to decide. It's either going to be Manny by KO or Floyd by UD, imo. I'm sticking with Floyd for now.

            so you don't think that Manny can stop or negate Floyd's movement?

              Nope, and even if he could he'd just hit Floyd gloves and air. Someone made a gif images of Cotto making Manny miss at times in there fight. If Cotto can do that ****, you better believe Mayweather will do it.

                Close but a clear and unanimous decision for Floyd. Too much skill and smarts on Floyd's end.

                IMO Floyd will not EXPOSE Pac, but he will win clearly.

                    This is a pick'em and can go either way. I either see Manny winning by KO or PBF by UD. I can't wait for the fight.
