Floyd could win...if he survives the first two rounds.

[Pullcounter]

floyd definently throws enough punches, that is a ****** argument,

floyd doesnt let his hands go, he throws when he knows hes gunna hit
thats why his compubox numbers are outrageous

floyd will throw far less punch, but will make them count alot more like he always does

its rule of thumb that if you land 50% of your power punches, you will win the fight, its not umcommon to see floyd land over 60%

floyd will get outworked. the main judging criteria is clean punching, not clean running.

You can't be serious. If Cotto didn't panic, what makes you think Mayweather will. Idiot.

Cotto did and it resulted in 2 knock downs. After that, he kept himself composed (backpedaling his way back into the fight), but it was too late. Cotto's punches couldnt hurt Pac.

I could see a similar thing happening but Floyd wouldn't be knock down too early. When he finally figures out Pacquiao, it'll be too late...

Didn't Hatton try that already?

Well to be fair on both fighters... I see this going both ways, and that the outcome of the fight would depend on both fighters ability not to adjust but to anticipate.

The way I see it is that if Manny tries to faint and/or do a faint/parry to get Floyd to commit to a counter then moving in to bust the most, a 3 punch combo would be the key for the Pacman.

Veiwing some of Floyd's fights it seems that he is just to fast for his opponents. However with the Zab Judah fight, I saw that Floyd tries to out think Zab and making him attack more than he expected, trying to read Zab's faints.

On the other hand, Floyd's key to the fight is to out think Pac (which is very possible) and try to anticipate his faints more and baiting him to move in. If Floyd faints then steps back making Pac commit to move forward then throw his straight right then things would be a whole lot different.

Just my two cents...

good post!!!!

If Pac goes for broke early, it increases his chances of getting caught off balance and dropped.

this thread ain't for bashing neither of these two all time greats. I'm simply interested in seeing who else agrees with me.

I think there might actually be a small chance that pac obliterates floyd within the first two rounds if manny goes for the kill from the first second. Now, floyd's defense is brilliant and shouldn't be forgotten for the next 100 years or so, but how many punches can a human possibly dodge? He could counter, but pac's got a decent enough chin and should be able to withstand more punches than floyd.

In other words...if it turns out to be a tit-for-tat situation floyd should most likely go down first. If not floyd could probably win by ud(based on his brilliance at the sweet science that is boxing!)

opinions ?

man go watch some old mayweather fights on youtube. You smoking that good ****.

Pac will definitely be aggressive in the early rounds, but at the same time, he will be more cautious. The key for Pac is controlling himself, he has improved in recognizing when to attack and when to back off. Floyd has always been great at this. If he doesn't KO or at least hurt Floyd by the 6th or 7th, Floyd will probably figure him out. If that happens, Floyd by SD.
