exactly, every opponent Mayweather faces goes from his biggest challenge to someone who didn't belong in the ring with Floyd, even with guys like Hatton and DLH, all credit given to Pacquiao, non to Mayweather, which in all honesty makes no ****ing sense at all. Even against a corpse like Clottey was in the ring, who didn't bother to fight back, Pac gets more credit then Mayweather does fo shutting down Mosley, someone who even in loses has never been completely shut out like that. It so obviously hipocritical yet no ******* will ever own up to it.Comment

I remember when Mosley lost his fights against Forrest in 2002 Everyboby said Mosley was getting slower and had lost his power... So that old man almost KO the untested ATG Mayweather, what will a much younger and faster Pacquio will do to him. Mayweather has a chance to prove himself, lets hope he does.
Fighters get rocked all the time. In fact Floyd handled that punch much better than I thought he would, especially since he was nailed twice in a row.
Manny's ticket to beating Floyd is to outwork him. He will never KO Floyd as Floyd is just too smart and cagey to get KO'd by anyone. Manny should concentrate on just staying busy against Floyd while avoiding his traps. That is Manny's ticket to possibly winning, not a KO.Comment

If you consider that an almost one punch KO, then I guess Marquez almost KO'd Manny in their rematch also.

Manny has a much better chance at putting Floyd away no doubt. He doesn't have as heavy hands, but he has far greater snap to hit shots. Those head jarring shots thrown with real velocity are what rattle you're brain... the kind of shots that buzz you and turn you're legs to jello. With his greater snap, raw speed, and angles he's more likely to catch Floyd with something he doesn't see coming and follow it up with an overwhelming onslaught. Mosely did next to nothing, was tight, tentative subsequent to hurting Floyd.
I don't see any evidence of Floyd having a granite chin... what i do see is a great defensive fighter who can neutralise an attack. He at the least see's the punches coming and attempts to roll with them. He has a solid chin no doubt, but when he rarely does get tagged with something he doesn't anticipate and adjust to sufficiently he is quite obviously rattled... Pac CAN hurt him. In this fight if Floyd decides to stand in the pocket Manny throws with so much intensity and speed from unconventional angles whilst maintaining body and head movement... some of those punches will find their mark.
There shouldn't be any debate about whether Pac can a) land or b) hurt Mayweather... of course he can... where the debate comes in is who is most capable of imposing their style and advantages to the greatest effect. I pick Floyd to get on his bike and box conservatively in an attempt to remove Pac's effective range and pac will swarm in with intensity... Floyd will be forced to dig deep and fight it out in bursts.
Its a pickem... the idea that its a walkover for either man is ridiculous. Would be an epic fight.Comment
