No. More likely than not, from 130-147, Mayweather would beat Pac honestly.Comment

Paul Williams
Shane Mosley

Don't agree.
Mosley and Mayweather could beat Pac.
I would favor Floyd and Mosley is even money.
If you're gonna mention a guy who doesn't fight at 147 I'm gonna mention PW at least we know he'll come down to 147.
I would heavily favor Paul Williams over MannyComment

Honestly, I think the only person capable of ending Pacquiao's reign is Mayweather, and the only person capable of giving Mayweather his first 0 is Pacquiao. Mosley can't beat either. I'm sure you've all pretty much broken down why Mosley probably won't beat Floyd, but nobody's cared to explain why Mosley can't beat Pac either. Its the same reason. Footspeed. If we ever see Pacquiao-Mosley, you will NOT see the same Pac you're used to. He will NOT throw as many combinations, and he will keep the distance with his footwork. Heck, it might even be what some of you call "running". The pressure style he used against Cotto and Clottey was perfect for beating them, but against Mosley that will not work. Mosley may not have the best legs in the world, but he isn't flatfooted either. He'd be able to catch Pacquiao from that range. The fight would look similar to Pacquiao-Clottey, just with Pac actually landing, and Mosley doing the same thing. You wouldn't see a KO. You probably wouldn't even see a knockdown. Just a pretty comfortable decision for Pacquiao. The fight would be exciting though.
Mayweather on the other hand has everything necessary to hang with Pacquiao, so he is capable of beating him. He has handspeed and footwork to match Pac's, counter punching skills and he is always live, so its not very likely than Pac will be able to catch him with anything he can't see. Clottey proved that Pac can be caught by a lighter punching WW, so hurting Pacquiao wouldn't be impossible for Floyd, especially with his accuracy. If Mayweather wins on May 1st, I'll be able to make an even better analysis because I'm sure we'll see Floyd letting his hands go and going against someone who can stay on his ass for 12 rounds.
As for Pacquiao, the same applies for him. He has everything to match Floyd as I mentioned above, so he is definitely capable of beating him too. He also has power capable of hurting Floyd, and his quick combinations will also help him. Not to mention the fact that he's a southpaw, which is a style known to do good against Floyd's style. Footwork will his key to hanging with him. Mayweather-Pacquiao will not be a brawl. It will be a pure boxing match. It probably wouldn't even be as exciting as many anticipate. Manny will be trying to trap him and then throw combinations when he has success, and Floyd will be trying to keep the distance and score, along with his counter punching.Last edited by BoxerDood; 04-20-2010, 11:57 AM.Comment

I think he beats anyone from 135-147 (still think he can make 135) but Mayweather could give him problems at 147. Apart from that I don't think Mosley has the footwork to **** with Manny. Berto same thing even worse. Williams can't make the weight and if he did he'd be drained enough that Manny would outbox him (something between CQ vs PW 1 and Pac vs ODLH).Comment
