Has anyone gone from thinking Floyd would win to now favouring Pac since last night?

    The Pac-Clottey fight went as i thought it would. I still think Mayweather will beat Pacquiao but i think it will be a really hard fight for him. Mayweather counters fast and accurate like no other but he will have to really work and make Pac respect him. Pac just keeps coming.

      I'm now more convinced than ever that Floyd would win. Manny isa sucker for the lead right. May would tax that tass.

        I actually favour Mayweather more after last night.

        Mayweather isn't gonna be a static target for him like Clottey was, Mayweather's defence is just as difficult to break down but for different reasons, Mayweather is a better counter puncher, can match Pac for speed and can put away the rounds by making Pac hit a lot of thin air whilst he connects with more eye catching punches. Pacquiao's defence looked pretty poor last night, and for someone with Mayweather's speed and accuracy he will be found quite easily and at will.

            from last night im more convinced that mayweather will win imo. pac man got hit a couple of times with that lead right, and someone as accurate as mayweather wil keep his distance and frustrate him all night long.

              However he won't look nearly as impressive offensively when his punches are falling on thin air rather than his opponent's high guard - it will give Mayweather a lot more time to pick his counters than Clottey was granted too.
              FLoyd wont be able to slip/block/roll/etc from ALL of pac's punches. I believe pac will be able to cut the ring off effectively and be able to limit PBF's lateral movement.

              same thing with Clottey will apply to Floyd. He's gonna have to open up more than he's used to/wants to. Floyd's gonna have to be the FLoyd of old where he was an offensive AND defensive monster. and as a Pac fan, that scares me just a little bit.

              But with all that said, i still think Pac, with a great gameplan from Roach, has Floyd's number.

                  Floyd needs to grow a pair. He got away from an ass whooping with his ****** self made rules, but after SSM, it's either he retire or be called as the biggest joke in boxing.

                    As for my opinion of the fight. I think Floyds best chance is to actually be aggressive and to keep Manny honest. It will open a ****load of risk for him, but gives him a much better chance at winning than laying back.

                    Manny's offense has been so incredible lately and varying, that someone is going to have to make him think very defensively. Floyd does have that ability, but not doing his potshots. He will have to make Manny wary in there, but is he going to have to accept the fact that he will have to take his licks in there to do it? Is he willing to do it?

                    I know most will disagree with what i said, but that is how I see it.

                      i still think floyd wins this fight clottey is not in the same league as floyd not even close.....floyd's defense is an art form and he is one of the smartest fighters ever .....roach will have a good game plan and pac will be gamed but i don't think it will be enough there is alot of floyd haters but look at some floyd highlights of his defense and counter punching this will win him this fight .
