    I respect manny and i love to watch him fight but the safe bet is PBF.

    I think that he comes in with too many advantages to be overcome.

    He's as fast or faster than manny.

    His technical ability is a level or 2 above mannys

    His defense is a level or 2 above mannys

    He has height, reach and general size advantage

    Whereas i think mannys only clear advantage is that he is a southpaw and I dont know if that will even be an advantage.

    With all that said dont forget the saying, " A good big man always beats a good little man" .

    Besides all of that there is still the mental part of boxing that people dont put into play. I know pac supporters think that floyd might not be able to handle the volume punching but i think in a fight with PBF his volume will go down to about a third of what it is. Because he will be missing and taking shots in return. That discourages people and from what ive seen of pac its not gonna take alot of missed shots for him to get frustrated.

    I want to see the fight but it wouldnt surprise me the least if it is a boring dominant win for floyd.

      Shorter Reach.

      Not as technically sound.

      Prone to counters

      No defense

      Smaller

      Shorter

      All this makes it hard to imagine pac beating PBF in my mind.
      he can't out box him ,can't fight going backwards ,open for counters ,not a body puncher ,not as strong as floyd mentally or physically and the list goes on.

        Probably the best puncher's chance of any of Floyd's opponents, but with his tools I can't see him winning a decision. He has to put Mayweather to sleep

          I think the only strategy I can see working for pac is if he can make it a fight at very close quarters. Because then his shorter arms become an advantage and not a liability. But if he gets close Floyd can negate that by clinching and laying on him like Holyfield did to Tyson. That's why Tyson lost his cool and bit his ear off.

            How close quarters are we talkin?

            Mayweather's an excellent inside fighter(Better than Manny). Manny does his damage at midrange, but even then Floyd is a beast in the pocket.

            Truth be told, Manny has to fight at his range to have the best chance of winning

              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"
              Manny is quick as lightning and tough as nails. I think the fight would be tough...but Floyd has his own set of gifts that make it a very close call on paper. The only way we can know is if they actually do fight.

                  I still think that manny has a good chance to catch Floydie and put him to sleep. But it will have to be early

                    Think about it how hard is it to hit a person right in your face? You have to actually back up a little to punch. A person with longer arms needs more room to punch. That's where Manny can have his space to attack and have better results to avoid counters. Floyd actually does this to fighters himself when he's in the pocket. He stands so close you can't swing and when you move to punch he hits you before you can. Floyd is just too smart and technically sound. They should Call this fight Genius vs Hard work. I think the most likely outcome is PBF winning in a complete shutout.

                      yes i believe he has no chance basically. He is too small and makes too many mistakes. He doesn't have a nice jab and your not gonna just jump on floyd without taking a shot. let's be clear manny is good but Floyd's reach, speed, stamina, accuracy, height, and strength makes this an easy fight for Floyd.
