    It is 2010 now. Pac has a right hand, movement, angles, better balance. JMM was a while ago. That's like comparing Floyd vs. Castillo and saying Hatton could beat him at in fighting. One should learn that fighters get better through time. Floyd obviously got better and stronger.

    It is really naive to say Pacquiao is "wild" and leads with his head. He has obviously come along way. Don't you think he would have been knocked out by now if this were true? By Cotto, De La Hoya, Hatton, Clottey. Geez
    Yeah, but that's the same thing that was said prior to the Marquez rematch. Roach was saying it, Manny was saying it, fans were saying it. And the same thing happened.

          Dude... Look outside the box. Do I really have to explain this. In the second Marquez fight, he did not have the skills he has now.

          BTW. Pacquiao won both fights. People say he lost because he looked amateurish against a great boxer. In reality, in close fights, the man who knocks people out will always prevail (don't forget the scoring error in Pac Marquez 1).

          You have to give credit where it's do. Pacquiao is really really good. So is Mayweather. It is OK... really it's OK to admit it.

            Still, Manny is pretty likable. Would likely be a great fight between him and Floyd. I, in a way, hope the fight doesn't end with a quick KO. Felt kinda wrong when Shane nearly got him out so quick. The guy is a great fighter.
            De La Hoya was a 147 regular WW fight with no catchweight....plus Pac already went up 2 weight classes, for him to go to 154 is just not possible.
            loo i thought Mosley had him with that knee buckling punch....amazing Floyd survived let alone dominated after that

              Right... But at least they should come up with a better reason to discredit. There is no way a 5'5 light weight can fight like a street fighter and still not get knocked out by cotto, De La Hoya, Hatton, Clottey. Even if he used PEDS... there is now way he'd not get knocked the F out. He obviously has skills in the ring.
              Yea Pac can slip punches very well and has great boxing skills now.....people look at the Morales 1 fight and think hes still the same fighter

                Epic thread..Anyway, let me give my take on this whole Floyd-Mayweather situation..Any meatheads can throw and take a punch, but it take certain meatheads to throw a punch, dodge, and make you pay..

                    I knew he knew needed more time to prepare for PBF! They know this is a legitmate opponent unlike Pacman's last several opponents.
