Why do you think your man, either Floyd or Manny will win?

[Jo94403]

I know it hasn't been finalized "yet". But let's skip all this talk about the fight not happening and talk about the fight happening. Because I don't believe it's NOT going to happen. Too much money involved and too much interest in the world for it not to happen. Manny and Floyd knows that.

My question is, why do you think your man, either Floyd or Manny will win?

For me, I think Manny will win not just because of his hand speed because I think they are both pretty fast, but Manny has much faster "foot" speed. Manny will dance around Floyd all night long.

Mosley lost because he was standing right in front of him and he was much slower with no head movement and no foot movement. Floyd will have a hard time finding his target against Manny. It will be a moving target all night long. Jumping in and out with Manny doing all his side movements and punching in different angles.

IMO Manny will dance around Floyd.

Check out Manny's foot speed.

IDK who will win, but I think Pacs foot speed and stamina will make this a competitive fight. There are alot of folks here who think it will be one sided. Trust me Floyd would of signed that contract in a flash. Same goes
for Manny.

I got Floyd winning. Manny has fought bigger guys but no one like Floyd.

I see it as a slightly more competitive fight than Floyd-JMM. Manny is more comfortable, strong, and quick at 147 than JMM was at 143, but I still see Floyd being able to handle Manny in similar style (not so one-sided) as JMM.

Don't get me wrong. I respect Manny and his fight game, but I see Floyd as the bigger and smarter fighter. If two fighters are about equally matched, I'd always go with the one with the size advantage.

Yeah, no way it will be one sided. It will be tough for both, but again IMO Manny's foot speed will be the key for him winning the fight.

I know Floyd will make adjustments during the fight like he always does, but I still think it will be tough to catch him because of Manny's speed and in and out movement.

Floyd size will not matter. Manny has already proven that by fighting Cotto and other bigger guys he fought.

Manny can move all night but Floyd puts on these angles that makes him difficult (not impossible) to hit. Floyd will pick his shots and land what he needs to. Pacman opens himself a good amount and is open to be tagged by Floyds counters.

Mayweather is not Cotto. Mayweather will use his size to his advantage in which Cotto did not.

I got Floyd winning because Manny gets hit too much and Floyd doesn't get hit too much

^That's like put in simple form. It's simplified like a fraction problem.


If you want my geek/nerdy answer, i'll give it to you. I think Floyd is going to beat Pacquiao because Pacquiao has never faced anyone with Floyd's handspeed and ring intelligence, and it's going to shock Pacquiao to fight somebody that good. Pacquiao is going to be more star-struck than anything else. Mayweather has faced southpaws like Corley and the speedy Zab Judah, so they're not Pacquiao but they're southpaws. Mayweather is the bigger man and will be the bigger man on fight night anyways. To give Mayweather the fight of his life, you have to have the height, weight, and reach advantage...plus you have to be a pressure fighter, guess what? Pacquiao has none of that..not even a pressure fighter. On paper it's a "50-50" fight but stylistically, if you know about styles that is, you should know Floyd has the advantage here. If you think Pacquiao will just blow Mayweather in the 2nd round like he did to Hatton then you're in for a surprise if this fight happens.

IMO Manny will dance around Floyd.

I disagree, Cotto and Clottey found Manny's head at will and we all know PBF is head and shoulders above those two. Pac's advantage lies in his punch volume and stamina, even though I believe the longer the fight lasts PBF will figure him out.

True, Mayweather is not Cotto. But "How" will Mayweather use his size advantage in which Cotto did not?
