I wanna see how Floyd deals with Pac's weird angles.

after being knocked on his ass 3 times and being down 4 points in one round.
Marquez was at his PRIME...prime weight, prime speed, prime skill, prime age, prime everything.
We know Mayweather got buzzed by Chop Chop, who had NO CLUE how to finish Mayweather when he retreated to the ropes.
He went headhunting, and lost VALUABLE opportunities to pound at the body...when May was dazed and couldn't counter accurately.
This isn't as one sided a fight as it looks. Sure, Mayweather's the more skilled fighter...he's also older, showed signs of being flat-footed, and was just a little slower than his prime in terms of his timing (vs. Mosley). He couldn't finish a fighter whose gas lasted 6 minutes!!!
so...again....for the sake of not sounding like a dumbass, don't try to convince anyone who has common sense that Mayweather will DOMINATE Manny like he did Mosley.Last edited by NesNY; 08-07-2010, 07:22 PM.Comment

The key to beating pacqiuao is to be first, not matter what u do it has to be first, whether it be defensive or offensive, may weather having the better ring I.Q. Will help to, packman likes to jump on u, so u have to stop him dead in his tracks, there are only two ways to stop his momentum, counter-punching and lateral movement, call it running if u need 2 but the only thing that matters is the win and if u disagree with that then we know u have never been in a competion in ur life and just sit behind ur keyboard and mouse everyday of ur life.Comment

I think the first castillo fight is different than the may-pac fight...because they pressure in two different ways..I think the reason why castillo was successfull was because he was physically stronger than mayweather and was able to push him around the ring.
The way I see this fight going is pac will bring the best out of floyd..I think after the first couple rounds floyd's speed and timing will negate manny's speed.. and I think floyd will use his jab and distance to keep manny at bay, and floyd's accuracy will be a defining factor in the fight. I think floyd wins by late TKO, but wouldn't be super suprised if manny won..and who ever wins I think will win by stoppage I just dont see it going to the cards.Last edited by Mitch5; 08-07-2010, 07:26 PM.Comment

I think not only is Floyd one of the hardest puzzles to solve but he's already got Manny figured out before the fight even starts. Manny is not only a one dimensional fighter but Floyd's already in his head with the PED questions on everyone with a sane minds thoughts. That in itself has Manny frustrated. Clottey stood there and landed more shots on Manny and did more damage. Floyd domintated Marquez, Manny's toughest opponent while in the second fight where Manny was "new and improved" they gave the fight to Manny because he was more marketable than Marquez. Practically all the fight analysists said MArquez won the fight. Manny knows he won't win but wants the lions share of the fight money or "honest Arum" does. They don't want him to test randomly so they can have Manny doped to the gills. Possibly even let him borrow Margacheato's Sakrete laced wraps.
Floyd will take him as far as 12 rounds. A blowout would create less interest in a rematch or even a trilogy for more money for all. Like it or not.Comment

Valid points. However, Castillo held a size advantage over Mayweather that Pac does not. Castillo outweighed Mayweather in the ring by at least 10lbs (and Mayweather was fighting with a torn rotator cuff).
I see Mayweather's versatility being the difference. He can win a variety of ways. I think that Mayweather fights more aggressively than anybody expects, hitring Pac with lead rights. Mayweather also has an excellent body attack against lefties (that is why Judah "just stopped punching"). Most of Pac's offense comes from the bounce in his legs, so I expect Mayweather to try and take Pac's legs away.
Pac will fight bravely, but I would not be surprised to see it becoming a replay of the Gatti fight or a replay of the Hatton fight with a lunging Pacquiao running into a check-hook.Comment
