Pacquiao would lose to Mayweather because of counter punching.

[street bully]

I agree. With the Cotto fight I just thought he was treding water for the first three rounds, when he was getting hit, but yesterday it hit me. He can not avoid right hand counters and inside uppercuts. Floyd beats him 7-5 in a very very close fight.

That's very probable. If Clottey's right was effective... how much more Floyd's.

but the thing is knowing Roach...they will have another gameplan against Floyd.

I see where you guys are coming from but I'm not sure it would bother Floyd. Pac is strong but Mayweather is bigger guy and has a tight D. He really might not be that affected by Pacs body shot but he could get caught and if he did then it would be bad. If he doesn't get caught moving out of the pocket into a shoulder roll I can't see how he loses though. He has fought fast guys like Zab(I know he's not the best example but that Zab was pretty good) and while having a bit of trouble was able to win in impressive fashion.

Being dominated by Floyd is nothing to be ashamed of. Pac is a great fighter Floyds is was just built to beat him. Like how Williams is built to beat Floyd. And a guy like Dirrell is built to beat Williams. It goes on and on and on.

Zab didn't let his hands go enough so he wasn't able to overwhelm Floyd's defense.

He also didn't have the best chin.

Last night proved to me that Counterpunching does not slow, or deter Pac at all.

I don't think Mayweather could take a sustained beating for 12 rounds.

He's never truly been tested in that way and I think he'll fold when he does.

youre a great counter puncher but you have weak heart, will it work?

Here comes the Burner curse again. Floyd wins but he will NOT dominate him at all.

[Wreckless]

Lol, people in here are hilarious. If you're throwing 100+ punches a round, it's obvious you're going to get hit with some counters. You'll take a punch to land two punches any day of the week.

[The Great Shark]

he is a different fighter every fight. while mayweather will only back pedal and cover up! end of thread!

And you go around making threads like you know something. You don't know **** just like the rest of your buddies that run around here spewing hot garbage.

Williams is built to beat Floyd? Didn't another counter puncher already beat Williams in the WW division?

Mayweather has the advantages inthis match-up.

Manny was not trained to fight guys who has a great uppercut, a lot of fighters can't really evade uppercuts.

And yes... Manny can still get hit more by a right hand... a southpaw is still a southpaw.

both would have their problems in the ring...it's why this match-up is soooooooo interestingly exciting.
