    Oscar used body work as well...it didn't work out too well.
    I cannot see Manny outboxing Floyd.If he missed 950 punches on a frozen object like Clottey,how the hell is he going to land punches on a guy who keeps distance and has fast movement?
    You guys are crossing your fingers hoping Manny will be able to overwhelm a guy who has excellent movement and defense to fall back on.Worst yet,he can/will slow Manny's punch output with distance,can counter at will and take Manny out of his rythym. The problem is,you guys are hoping it is going to be simple-but it wont,and never is against Floyd.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see Floyd frustrate,counter, and get to the punch before Manny-perhaps even press for a statement towards the end...

          pac was just too much for floyd to handle, this would be a mismatch.

            Mayweather is good, and he would basically narrowly beat everyone he fights.
            Pacquiao is just on another level. Once in a decade type of talent.

              At this moment in time i think Mayweather would because of his defensive skills and his very good counter punching ability.

                950 punches were not missed. almost every one of those punches were blocked. Big difference, you make it sound like Manny was swinging at the air all night.

                Never said Floyd would be simple but I see Pac building up on some tools that will help him out. You say Floyd has his movement and defense to fall back on but you forget Pac has equal movement and Floyd's defense against southpaws just isn't quite as effective. These guys have so many things that neutralize the other's stregths...thats why its a fight everyone wants to see.

                  Exactly, I wouldn't like to block a punch from Pacquiao.
