    If both fight, Mayweather would be going in with 'bad intentions,' and the same could be said for Pacquaio. That makes a KO on both sides a huge possibillity.

      Floyd he could do it, if he lands frequently.

      He is not a big puncher but an ok one at WW and would be able to land alot more than most of Pac's recent opponents.

        Out of Mayweather's last 4 opponents, Pacquiao will be by far the hardest to hit.

        If Mayweather can't hurt Pac and Pac starts landing with regularity, Pac wins.

        If Mayweather finds himself down in the cards late in the fight, Pac wins.

        If Pac can't land on Mayweather, Mayweather wins.


        The bolded part is the only scenario in which Mayweather wins.

        If Pac finds any sort of rhythm going into the late rounds Mayweather is screwed.

        Pac-Mayweather fight won't be a war. It'll be a battle of momentum.

        Whoever has it going into the final 4 rounds will win.

          Well historically Pacquiao's achilles heel are power shots to the body, and Floyd's pretty good (albeit underrated) at body punches.

          Hence the stick therapy of Manny was born.

            I think that Pacmans volume will slowly decrease when he realises he cant land.

            This may be the only scenario in which mayweather wins, but i think its also the most likely scenario.

              I think it is one of the more likely scenarios as well.

              Pac needs a gameplan that will help him land and gain rhythm or it could be a very frustrating night for him.

                I think the Clottey fight says otherwise. That was even more frustrating to churn for Pac perhaps. But yet he threw 1,200 punches.

                  The OP is joking right? If they ever fight Floyd will be more caregular than he ever been or Floyd risk getting his ass knocked out!

                      Floyd can do it. But he needs to step up his punching ratio together with his accuracy he can do it.

                      But highly doubtful, he'll be very picky on his punches, especially against an opponent like Pac, Floyd's best chance to win is a very decisive UD.
