Pacquiao would lose to Mayweather because of counter punching.

i hope the fight happens

Roger, Sr., and Jr. knows this too.

thaT IS WHY THEY WONT ALLOW FLOYD STEP IN THE RING WITH PAC..

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.

I love the matchup, even if they both weren't stars, the styles mesh well. IMO, it is the most interesting fight in a long time. People complain it won't live up to the hype which I agree if you're a casual fan, it's not a brawling type. To me it will though, due to the fact that it would be a calculating type of fight. It is what boxing is supposed to be. I just think it is too tough of a fight for Pac's to win but if he does it would be a very special win for him.

Mayweather would get 100% of Pac and he would not be friendly with him. Floyd breaks to pieces within 8 rds

[Pacquiao'd]

He is that great, I always watch fights in slow motion... do that.. you'll appreciate Floyd's skills.

props for keeping it real. most people miss 95% of what floyd does in real time. you have to watch floyd in slow motion to see his genius

its amazing how in realtime it look like floyds is narrowly missed by a punch but in slow-mo, you see how far the punch is away from floyd. dude sees the punches before they are thrown by his opponenets

dude is a pure genius

[Pacquiao'd]

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.

disagree. floyd martinez's pwill

he's got great defensive instinct... genius has got nothing to do with it.

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.

whaou fail to realize is that floyd would reduce pacs punch count to 50% of that. by making pac pay for being open.

i can see you arent being duped by clottey. floyd would make pac throw less, would make pac connect percentage the lowest its ever been with any fighter. and floyd would it pac more accurately than any fighter ever has. floyd would hit pac with atleast 45% of his punches and not waste anything

Can't believe I made one of these Mayweather/Pac threads but I just had to. The counter punching is the one thing that Pac just hasn't been able to solve.

Indeed....he is such a poor boxer. And after 7 weight divisions of overwhelming opponents and posing major scares throughout the land.

Retire Pacquiao, what a pity!

I think some posters here who are convinced that Floyd would beat Manny would also look at not just the Clottey fight but also Pac took a fight less than 4 months to his previous fight and still Pac showed like he was the one who was challenging the champion.

Pac showed that he can make a defender go into hiding because he instills fear in them. Floyd is slick and a good counter puncher but never has he faced a fighter who will be right in his face everytime and throws 100+ punches per round. Pac is a risk taker he's willing to lay down his defense in some parts of the fight just so he could force a defensive fighter to open up and then Pac's gonna throw his artillery barrage of punches.

Though I think Roach will have a different fight plan against Floyd. Floyd needs to win first against Shane.
