I have no doubt Pacquiao beats Floyd now.

[illmaticfighter]

people really need to stop underestimating floyd punching power shane mosley couldn't walk thru them how can pacquaio,do i know how the fight will turn out no.

but i just know floyd can do so much different things in the ring than that's the difference floyd can adjust can manny?

manny has to get him out of there early or imo floyd's going to end up winning.

I think this fight dissproved just that. Shane hit him with a right and Mays knees buckled.

.................................So I suppose that right hand wouldn't have knocked down Cotto, Pacquiao, Clottey or any other welterweight?

The first right hand was flush, the second right hand that hit Mayweather had KNOCK OUT written all over it. His knees buckled, but that doesn't mean that he's weak-chinned. Most welters would've went down with a flush punch from Mosley. He might've looked bad throughout the rest of the fight, but like I've been saying, Mosley hits freaking hard...and tagged Mayweather...and Mayweather didn't go down. He might not have been able to take all the shots that Margarito withstood, but he definitely showed he has a damn decent chin. Respect Mayweather.

Don't know what fights you have watched. Floyd is 5 times better version of Marquez, it will be the same Pac winning the first two rounds and Floyd taking over. It has been the same with every fighter, the get disincouraged when Floyd start hitting and countering with all that speed and all they do is wait around

[Savino]

It be a close fight. Both have styles that will cause each other problems and we will only find out once the fight starts. been a fan of bother Boxer's i'm just looking forward to it. may the best man win on the night.

No doubt in my mind the TS hates blacks......period! No two ways about it.

Pacquiao does have great speed, but at the same time, as everyone has been pointing out, he leaves his head up and has a tendency to jump in. You can do that against guys like Cotto and Clottey, but to do that against a defensive minded fighter like Mayweather is just asking to be KO'd. You can say all day that Pacquiao has improved a lot from the JMM fights, but there is a reason why there were never any serious negotiations to have a third fight. That is that JMM's counter punching style made it a harder fight than most and after Mayweather toyed with JMM, it would look bad if Pacquiao struggled with the same opponent. Everyone keeps talking about the speed and angles that Pacquiao uses, but with Mayweather's reach advantage, footwork, and uncanny timing, Manny's speed will be a non-factor after the first couple of rounds. As pointed out by Manny Stewart, Judah gave Floyd problems in the first couple of rounds as well with his speed and power, but he adjusted and then dominated him. I see the same thing happening against Pacquiao.

Now, about the testing issue, I understand the pride of not being dictated terms of a fight, but Floyd agreed to all the terms that Manny's camp wanted being the gloves used, ring size, weight penalty, and money split, but they couldn't agree on blood testing that Floyd would be taking too? The first "defense" about that was that a man with tattoos received voluntarily is afraid of needles. The next defense was that it would sap his strength if taken too close to the fight even though both fighters would be tested on the same day and be subject to the same fatigue(any medical professional will tell you that they don't draw enough blood for these tests to have that kind of effect). Even if it were true in terms of complaining about a test during the last week under usual circumstances, it isn't like Manny needs to cut weight to make the 147lb limit so that arguement is made even weaker.

When will people understand that Floyd makes his opponents fight his fight and Pac would be no exception. Once he figured Shane out it was curtains, Shane didn't have a chance. After the fight last night I even more convinced that Floyd will punish Pac.

Shane fought tentative from the first bell last night. We all all including Floyd could see it. What is hard to tell is, was that Floyd that caused it or was Shane just old?

It was probably a little bit of both. I was so impressed with Floyd's poise in there last night, even over an old Shane. Floyd has not been that confident in the ring in years. That poise threw Mosley right off his game.

Now Manny does offer things that can trouble Floyd. Very fast hands, Very Fast Feet, Angles, Decent Head Movement and Tenacity.

It would be an incredible fight

Huh?? Most fighters would of went down! Not comeback from it and dominate the rest of the fight

[tibbar]

you all are mistaken because you all forgot pacquiaos stamina. what made shane lose the fight is primarily because he tired easily. the problem with shane when he wobbled floyd in the second round he did not pressed the issue. thats one opportunity loss.
