    Yes,Floyd is more unpredictable than Manny.I don't understand how you think otherwise,but I respect that.
    I can only say that a pattern fighter (Manny) is usually more predictable than someone who makes adjustments....
    Well if Floyd Sr. (who knows **** about boxing) is too adamant on his lil boy fighting a southpaw then that's the cake.

    I get your point mate, but I'm just sayin' if people think that Manny's very predictable then how come no one can neutralize his so-called weaknesses then?

    Roach is right! Manny makes a lotta mistakes, it's just that people tend not to pay close attention with those mistakes.

      Judah had decent power as well....certainly not pillow fisted.

      You keep thinking about "he hasn't fought a Manny Pacquiao"...let's not forget that he hasn't fought a Floyd Mayweather....do you know any of Manny's weaknesses or habits or do you think he is unstoppable? No fighter is unstoppable...not Floyd,and certainly not Manny.

        I think that within 4-6 rounds it will be certain who will be in control of the fight, be it May or Pac, either Mayweather will take control or Pacquiao will give Mayweather more problems then he's ever experienced.

          Styles make fights my friend, Pacquiao lately hasn't really faced any fighters who could take advantage of his mistakes without taking a lot of damage in return, Mayweather is a completely different fighter then any Pac has ever faced.

          Plus that whole Sr not wanting Mayweather to fight southpaws was long ago before he destroyed Judah & Corley.

            Yeah fair enough mate! Both really are either complementary or contrary of each other it's hard to gauge on paper who has the edge.

            Should be a good fight once it's signed hopefully.

              Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the opponents he has had obviously.I would never describe Cotto, Hatton, Diaz, Oscar, etc to be right hand dominant fighters. Oddly enough,3 of those mentioned fighters are left hand dominant that fight out of an orthodox stance (Diaz is a southpaw anyways,so he is left handed as well).
              All of these guys have poor defense and walk straight towards you.It is a combination that Manny has feasted on.
              If there is no right hand to give him hell,he will plow through these guys.
              Trust me,if Manny beats Floyd,I am giving him his dues, because I that's how I am.I have picked Manny to beat several guys (I even cheered him on to beat Hatton), but I don't choose based on who I am a fan of...I generally pick "winners" as I would place money on them,not out of emotion.

                I can't argue with that! I just hope it gets made this year,otherwise it may burn out the interest built with the fans and they will only be getting older.

                      Nothing is certain.. Best offense vs best defense. But I see Manny taking it..
