    At the same time, as we've all seen over and over again, once Mayweather figures you out he shuts you down.

    50/50 in my eyes.
    I think it's more like 60/40 in Floyd's favor. Simply for the fact that he's smarter than Manny. Boxing is a thinking man's sport still. Manny can only follow Roach's plan. Floyd can switch things up mid fight at anytime.

        That's why i mentioned Roach, if Pac were to beat Mayweather then Roach deserves as much credit as Pacquiao.

          75/25 Mayweather.


          Pacquiao only has a puncher's chance.

              Manny has to hurt Floyd and finish him to have any chance at winning.

              Floyd will be moving, fighting backwards, keeping Manny at the end of a hard jab and land hard flush counters when Manny over commits himself (which he does so often). By the mid to late rounds, you will start to see vintage Mayweather as he begins to lead with straight rights and left hooks. Floyd by Late TKO. Manny can't handle the clean, accurate punching by Mayweather.

                  I'll admit that im a pac man fan through and through and i really do think that manny has a good chance to beat floyd. Even though floyd will have the better chance to beat manny than the other way around. Floyd is just a tought customer.

                  My question for floyd fans is this... Do you all honestly believe... with no bias that manny has no tools or no shot to beat mayweather?

                  i just think its crazy that some floyd fans ACTUALLY believe that manny has zero chance and will quote/unquote "destroy manny"
                  i just think manny is too agressive and too small too get inside on mayweather but hell put up a good fight floyds just too smart though!!

                      I go one way then the other on the issue if I'm honest. I see his performances against the likes of De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto and think, man, Pac will give him hell. He's fast enough to land on Floyd, he hits pretty hard, he keeps up his workrate and can take a shot.

                      Then, I look back to the JMM 2 fight. I know everyone will say that Pac has improved a lot since then, and he has shown improvement overall, but sometimes I have to think the styles of the fighters he's been facing may have changed the way Pac looked. The best way to beat Pac is to counterpunch, and use the right hand a lot, these guys he's fought recently haven't shown him that.

                      I feel the styles match up so awkwardly that you can't predict everything too well, but I have to say I'll take Mayweather by Decision. But, Pac should have the right tools to make it interesting... I just feel some of his offense is taken away when he fights counterpunchers - which isn't a knock, everyone has their bad matchups.
