    Marvin Hagler, Mosley or a Zab Judah with heart, and a trifle more power.

    Manny has the attributes to spell trouble, but Floyd Mayweather also has the tools to nullify Manny's offense. Certainly the southpaw style, combined with a variety of punches from different angles will prove a formidable task for Mayweather. The jury is out on this one............

      That's a big IF...This is a whole different style fight from what pac's has faced in the past, Pac coming foward fits easily into floyd's style, especially if he comes in throwing volume punches, it gonna leave pac open for the counter, which we all know floyd is the best when it comes to counter punching, The only way to beat floyd IMO is you haveto beat him at his own game, your gonna haveto match him, a great jab, speed and defense....

          Corrales was a volume puncher, see his fight vs oh boy that quits alot....i can't remember his name right now.

          but corrales threw volume punches with meaning and to land. Meaning he would stalk, cut off the ring, trap in the corner and unload on you.

          when he fought Floyd he was unable to do any of that. He couldn't trap floyd thus he couldn't throw volumes of punches.

          in order to beat floyd, u have to be able to control distance and range effectively against him. somone with hard crisp jab will giv him problems, but u can't throw your punches at the same speed everytime ro he'll end up timing you.

          ulitmately, it takes afighter who can control distance and has the IQ to box with or make him think longer in fight. cause once he figures u out, he opens up that beatdown.

          Take em in deep water and drown em!!!

                  I was gonna say someone who can make him fight their fight and get him outta that defensive posture and make him more aggressive, but i also agree with what you just said, Mayweather almost left it too late against DLH & he arguably did leave it too late when he fought Castillo.

                    As long as Mayweather is fighting at or below 154 and hes under the age of 36 he will remain undefeated. Just Truth.
                    Pacquiao a ****** fighter or just you? It didn't cross on your mind that Pacquiao is higher in atg status and legacy wise now than Mayweather to be branded as ******? If Pacquiao is ****** then whats makes Mayweather then?

                    And about Pacquiao can't adjust to Cotto in the late rounds, you are the ******. You did not see the scorecards before the stopped? Cotto only won the round 1 to much to said Pac can't adjust!"peeleft:
