"real" manny and floyd fans..who wins and how..lets talk boxing

[larry x]

pacquiao.

by sd win in a close fight or by ko/tko.

how????????????????

[MANGLER]

so you want floyd to be macho and dumb like cotto and hatton and stand and trade with manny??

No.

I know how he fights and can accept it.

I just ain't excited.

[street bully]

Toss up fight imo. If Pacquiao mindlessly stalks he will lose. straight up uses volume and movement himself waiting for mayweather to throw his left hook leads and counters the jab to the body with faster right hooks he can win. I can see either guy pulling it off, and if it is a close fight Manny will get it.

[Michael Hall]

Mr boat buyer moves.

Pac chases.

Mr boat buyer wins a UD.

Fight sucks.

Everybody who shoulda known goin in complains how it was a ripoff.

the fight will only suck to those that want to see "mr boat buyer" knocked out and/or defeated.

to all "mr boat buyers" fans and fans of the sweet science, they'll LOVE the fight.

I don't give a **** who wins. I want an excitin fight. And a fight don't need to be a brawl to be excitin.

I just don't think it'll happen in this fight. I hope I'm wrong.

[CrackYourJaw]

Floyd needs to throw more combos.

Manny needs to learn how to cut off the ring.

50/50 fight for me.

Can Mayweather still fight at a high pace for 12 rounds?
Can Pacquiao force Mayweather (who always controls the fight) to fight at a high pace?
Can Pacquiao take all those right hands?
Can Floyd be accurate as usual against someone so unorthodox?
Can Mayweather avoid being hit and hurt by right hooks?

I am so glad I don't know the answers. Usually fights are easy to read. This one does not look like it.

how????????????????

pacquiao starts the fight very aggressive.

wins the first few rounds maybe even score a knockdown through sheer aggressiveness.

in the middle rounds , once floyd gets adjusted to pacquiao's speed , change the fight plan up.

no more aggressiveness.

go forward with his hands up , walk floyd to the ropes or corner.

let floyd initiate the punching and counter his jab and lead right even though manny is the one going forward.

manny shouldn't punch until floyd is on the ropes or corner and he is well within range.

everytime floyd throws , that's when manny throws.

that'll be , IMHO , manny's best chance to land something solid. floyd is at his best countering a punch while the most solid punches floyd has been hit with was usually when he was initiating the offense.

do this for a few rounds to see if it works , if it doesn't then just revert back to sheer pressure and hope it'll be enough.

manny wins by controversial , close decision. by ko if for some reason floyd's chin is not as good as we think it is since he rarely gets hit.

The one thing I am curious about is if Mayweather comes in overweight again.

It's a WW fight. If he comes in overweight it would then be a JMW fight...

My thoughts on the fight are I can see Floyd frustrating the hell out of Pac, the first few rounds will be crucial as I think Roach's plan is to get to Floyd early, blitz him and get him out of there.

Floyd isn't going to walk into shots like Hatton and Cotto though, nor is he going to stand and trade - he will have to be active to keep Pac off his rhythm, and I think he will be.

I wouldn't discount Pac though and I think there's a real chance of him hurting Floyd at some point - how Floyd deals with that is the key to who wins IMO. If Floyd doesn't get hurt then he wins anyway.

Im no fan off neither i wanted to see Cotto take out both. I think Floyd takes it, his lead right is a killer. Pac will fight like the ferocius warrior he is but i think Floyd times him, counters him and UD:s him.
