    No offense, but you didn't really say anything besides the same old same old. "Pacquiao is fast, powerful, and tough..... Mayweather has trouble with pressure... ". I say that Mayweather has dealt with fighters who try to wear him down with pressure(outside of the 1st Castillo fight when he was basically fighting with 1 arm) just fine. I would also say that Pacquiao is not really a pressure/swarming fighter, he's an in/out fighter. The fight will come down to boxing skills. Pacquiao can be willing to take all the risks in the world, but if he doesn't have the boxing skills to land punches consistently at a decent percentage while effectively defending himself, then he's going to lose. It's as simple as that in my mind.

        My gut tells me Pac beats Floyd for this reason:

          2 people besides Mayweather and you don't think Pac is great? Sure he's no top 10 atg or anything but the man has proven his greatness at least as well as Mayweather has. Stylistically Mayweather may beat him but the fact Pac has come from a 126 brawler to even being considered a valid opponent for Mayweather speaks volumes.

            The fact that he's unwilling to subject himself to random drug testing, speaks louder. I can't give him props on his success in moving up in weight without acknowledging the drug testing issue. Sorry.

              Floyd's been hit before.

Besides, you missed my point which is that it's presumptuous to think that Pacquiao has all the tools necessary to beat Mayweather. Mayweather is undefeated with only one close fight in his career. Noone really knows what it takes to beat Mayweather.
                but be honest floyd has not looked for the toughest opposition above 135 thats why he looks untouchable. Pac will be the best fighter he has ever faced by far and he will loose.

                  be happy that pac was given the FOTD award b.c its going silly after he gets whooped on by floyd

                  why do you think more people know Floyd is going to be pac, what do you think floyd is the betting fav?
                  floyds betting primarily because of style and he is bigger, but pac fights better as an underdog and will suprise everyone once again.

                    Your right about that, seeing both of pac's eyes closed and blood flooding out of his mouth, whilst Freddie is three seconds away from throwing the towel in and Manny is still throwing punches at Floyd (while missing) will be surprising to see Manny try to hang in there.

                      No, you be honest. You're a fanboy not an objective fan.
