    I don't buy the "mayweather would nuetralize pacquiao's offense" argument

    A lot of people are saying "oh.. look at how few punches manny landed on clottey.. it would be even less on mayweather"

    Well my control in this experiment is Zab Judah. Judah fought both Mayweather and Clottey.

    But Clottey's defense completely shut out Zab Judah, while Judah was dominating Mayweather defense in the early rounds before Judah's lack of discipline and stamina beat him.

    And the fact that Manny Pacquiao is a Zab Judah with Discipline and stamina with as much speed but more power, accuracy and ferocity makes me see the Pac-Mayweather fight a lot closer than the *****s would like you to believe.

    1st off Zab was landing alot on Clottey early. 2nd, its 2 totally different fights because Zab wont throw nearly as much as Pac and is more about throwing percise timing punches. Thats how he caught Floyd. If you throw non stop **** like Pac does, that **** wont land on Floyd. You have to wait and catch Floyd off guard. Thats why some of Zab's **** was landing.

    Also, spear me that talk about Zab's stamina and that other crap. What happened was he was a Southpaw so it took Floyd a few rounds to figure him out and adjust. Once he did that the fight was over. Its the same thing with Corley. It took him a few rounds but once he figured it out then its over. It has nothing to do with fatigue. Its just an adjusment period to the Southpaw style but again, I think Pac's style will actually be easier for Floyd to defend because its not about 1 shot timing punches like Zab was doing. All that non stop **** wont work against Floyd, trust me

      Well if Pacquiao vs Mayweather gets signed, you buy the PPV then after the fight you will buy into Mayweather neutralizing Pacquiao's offense

        Okay im gonna hope that you arent a blind hater but if you study mayweather he gives the first few rounds to study opponents. Seriously watch the combo that stumbled mayweather watch the next round zab can never pull it off again. Honestly i think if mayweather schools mosely then pac will follow easily but if mosely rocks mayweather a few times but mayweather still wins then pacquiao will probably beat him

          He fought Clottey how many fights after Mayweather?

          Zab has never been a particularly focused individual since Kostya, but several fights down the road after his fight with Mayweather I doubt it gets any better for Clottey.

          Sadly enough Judah still has the talent to be a champ, just not the head.

                Did JMM nuetralize Pacquiaos offense?

                Ask yourself how he did it?

                Now ask yourself can Floyd replicate that.

                OK then.

                  floyd can use his movement or he can just tie up pacquiao like crazy.

                  similar to how shane had a hug fest with margarito. hey it worked alright and the most important thing is to win.

                    I don't buy it either. If Corley and Judah can do what they did to Floyd,

                    I have no doubts Pacquiao would do the same, but much worse. He actually knows how to finish. Add his speed and power to that, its a deadly combination all the way around. Its so silly how people act like Floyd never gets hit. He does, especially against southpaws. Now that there is one who is combining raw talent, with a solid game plan,

                    Floyd doesn't want to tangle.

                    Its nothing new. We've seen this reluctance to take on the best opponents from him the moment he stepped into the welterweight division.

                    His stans might be fooled, but the rest of us aren't.
