Comments Thread For: Mayweather is Still The Favorite To Beat Pacquiao

[Biolink]

I see Manny giving Floyd an adjustment period early on, but Floyd will adjust.

Really I see a few ways that Floyd could potentially go at this. Mainly using his footwork and reach advantage to box Manny on the outside.

For Manny, he's not going to outbox Floyd on the outside, and I doubt he outboxes him in the pocket either. That leaves stopping him, or knocking him out. He's going to have to chase him, and work around his reach disadvantage to get close enough to land significant shots(Which he can for sure). He has the advantage of throwing punches from all different directions, but his punch technique isn't exactly the most technically sound, when you want to talk about not telegraphing or leaving yourself open to counter shots against the best counter-puncher and defensive boxer in the sport.

Im basing my opinion on simply the level of competition in the past 3 years.

Floyd wins a SD against a money hungry Delaquitter who was old anyways..
Floyd TKO Hatton who is overrated but gave Floyd trouble until Floyd finally adjusted..
Floyd wins a UD against Marquez who and any boxing expert will tell you doesnt belong anywhere north of 135....

Pacman beats old Delaquitter in a onesided fashion.. Sure DLH was old but still Pac worked him.
Pacman Pummels Hatton like a sparring partner.
Pacman makes mence meat out of Cotto who Floyd has ducked..

Level of competition..

Pacman has been fighting elite opponents and has been dominating in fashion.

Floyd has been picking and choosing his last few opponents to tailor his zero losses..

Your a fool not to see these simple facts..

Come on Mayweather, take a chance!

Everyone is so sure that PBF will win, so let it happen. PBF says steroids won't help Pac, so just fight and let's see what happens. It is very doubtful that Pac uses drugs, he is just a super athlete. The real truth is that PBF is afraid of getting his 40-0 record ruined. Come on, PBF, take a chance!

Of course floyd is the favorite and he will put a beat down on that lil midget!!

He will take a chance and he will beat that steroid freaks lil ass bigtime!! Manny is no athlete, he is just a manufactured steroid freak. He was an average fighter now with steroids he's a good fighter. Floyd is just all natural and very skillfull!

how do posters like you have green karma?

I sure hope there will be no more excuses this time.

Pacman FTW

[Boxing's Truth]

The fact that Manny has more fans on here makes him seem like the favorite, but I also favor Mayweather via UD.

You're right. The Floyd fan base doesn't even come close to the fan base that Pac has. Pac fans are like suicide bombers. They believe that if they defend Pac to the death they will go to heaven and get 150 *******.

Out of the the last five or six fighters that Pac has fought who has come close to Floyd's style and skill level? None. I see something similar to the Floyd-Marquez fight. I just see Manny being more busy. But being busy against Floyd doesn't exactly mean success, it just means being caught a lot more. Floyd wins this in an impressive UD.

I guess these are the same experts who picked Cotto over Manny also

Pretty pointless having a favourite if the fight probably ain't gonna happen.
