    I don't see what Mayweather has that will trouble him, he's a pot shot style fighter, with not to much power.

    I think Mayweathers agility and the fact that he will run are the biggest problems. If Manny can catch him.

    Manny brings all sorts of problems for Mayweather, being a southpaw, having speed and a lot of pop and unorthodox angles. Floyd is only good because he sees the punches coming, Pacquiao is a master of throwing punches you can't see coming.

    At 147, Floyd is quicker than Manny. If Manny lands though, and if Floyd lies on the ropes, then I'd like to see the outcome.

        I look at your age and can tell that you never seen much of Floyd. You probably just started watching him. I hate it when people think that all he has ever done is run & pot shot. Its ****** and so untrue

          ANy others?
          Hope you are not making up titles now.

          Case in point, anyone Floyd fought who had power had a tendency to hit air.

            The "Machine-Like" driving force behind the "Pac-Attack" fight plan of the Pacman is definitely the style that can easily defeat Mayweather's "Slick" Hit & Run style of fighting. JAT

              ?

              You failed my question.

              WHen has Floyd ever fought an elite volume power puncher in his prime?

              Corrales doesn't fit the bill. And don't say De La Hoya either! He wasn't prime, he was game, but not prime. His volume came in spurts at the end of each round, but it wasn't sustained.

              Corrales tried to fight from height, and use that leverage to knock people out. He did not have Pac's groundeating footwork or overwhelming combinations.

              I'm willing to discuss with people, but if they don't even have valid points, it just gets silly.

                If any style could do it would be Manny's style. This is one of those fights that will show what both fighters are made of. Neither fighter has fought a boxer as good as they are.

                    he is untested against prime elite volume power punchers.

                    Never faced one.

                      Pacquiao is gonna be his toughest fight, along with everything said, he's a quick starter and can go a full 12.

                      Floyd needs to be more offensive in this one, he will lose if he doesn't throw more combos.
