When Pacquiao met with Arum, a source said, the boxer's enthusiasm about the fight was hinged not only on the thumbs-up by his trainer Freddie Roach to accept it but Pacquiao's own comparisons between his punishment of De La Hoya versus Mayweather's more tentative split-decision triumph over the "Golden Boy" 19 months earlier.
"Manny's coming right at him," the promotional source said.
Pacquiao has told Top Rank to send him videos of fights in which Mayweather has been especially troubled, including his ninth-round TKO of Emanuel Augustus in 2000, his unanimous decision over DeMarcus Corley in 2004 and his unanimous decision over Zab Judah in 2006.

If Manny truly watches and analyzes his fights with Corley, Burton and Judah then I don't think he'll be overly confident with a gameplan of coming forward the entire night.
All three of those guys (with the exception of maybe Judah) have better defense than Pacman and Mayweather lit all three of their asses up!
Manny will have to go to hell and back to beat Mayweather. The only way to beat that kid is to be willing to take an HELL OF AN ASS WHOOPIN in the process. What I mean by that is you can't beath him going tit for tat. You have to be willing to basically have your head in his chest all night long, pound away, take loads of punishment and still be there.
That is why I feel that only Paul Williams can truly challenge Floyd Mayweather Jr.Comment

What are you talking about?... Neither Hatton nor DLH were weight drained when they fought Floyd, in fact. DLH was 160 pounds on fight night with Floyd, unlike when DLH fought Manny, DLH was 145 on fight night. Hatton was unbeaten and full of confidence when he fought Floyd. How many times do folks need to bring up Corrales?? Corrales was a monster in his prime, Floyd stood right in front of Corrales and knocked him down 5 times!
Manny has improved?? Did you not see Manny's face after the Cotto fight? Cotto was basically a punching bag for Manny, he was still able to land telegraphed shots on Manny. Floyd regressed so much that he completely outclassed and dominated JMM (#2 P4P), a fighter who many people think should have been the victor over Manny, twice!
Manny softened JMM up by flooring him 3 times, when PBF could only do it once. Will you ever see the negatives of PBF without them being pointed out to you?Comment
