    Manny would walk right through Mayweather for that very reason, ZERO POWER. He doesn't have enough mustard to even deter Pac, that is why I think he would just demolish him early.(That and the fact he is terrified of Pacquiao)

      This is another example of people being way too high on a guy on the basis of him being exciting to watch, and completely ignoring what boxing is all about. Unless Mayweather has declined significantly from a physical standpoint, Manny will get the **** beat out of him. How hard he hits and how often he hits is irrelevant because he's fighting a very skilled technician and great defensive fighter at a reach disadvantage.

        I remember hearing everything this guy is saying leading up to Tyson-Holyfield I. I told everyone exactly what was going to happen to Tyson, but they of course ignored me and continued focusing on how hard each guy hits like it actually matters.

          Marquez was a great puncher at 130. If the fight happens at 147 Pacquiao won't give a ****.

          I agree, Mayweather might sting him early but Pacquiao that will just give Pacquiao incentive to assault Mayweather. The only way Mayweather is going to jump around on his feet is if he comes in lighter like against Hatton. If he shows up all bulky like against Mosley and DLH he won't move nearly as much.

            come on man...did you actually watch the fight last night?!...WHEN Mosley was throwing...he was able to frustrate and keep Pac away with flicking jabs that had VERY little steam on them...add to that the fact that Manny was getting visibly frustrated because he was having trouble finding Mosley at times means he is going to struggle to hit Floyd...

            NOBODY walks "right through" Mayweather...because its impossible (damn close anyway) to do so against his style of fighting...after throwing one or two punches, he is rarely in the same place...you can walk through his punches all day...but by the time you get to your destination he isn't there to hit anymore...Manny would not be able to follow Floyd like he did Mosley...it wouldn't work...

            ***disclaimer...before anyone gets sand in the V over my post im NOT saying its an easy fight for Floyd...or that he destroys Pac...far from it...just being realistic about the way Floyd fights...and what we saw Manny try to do last night...

              And Pac has no talent period to worry Mayweather so what is the point?

                Manny would not be hesitant with Floyd and will attack at will.
                agreed.

                wifebeater doesn't have the power to keep pac off of him.

                  Floyd doesn't have knockout power. HOWEVER, he has "**** that stung" pop on his punches. He doesn't hit you hard enough to KO you but he does hit you hard enough that you think twice about coming in recklessly.

                      If Floyd could not garner respect from his punches he could not fight as he does. Getting hit at the wrong time can be as bad as pure blunt force trauma.

                      Plus as you get hit and continue to find nothing but air it gets very frustrating which tends to throw off your mindset which makes you more susceptible to getting hurt.

                      Floyd has to fight very well but if Floyd fights to his capabilities he should handle Manny with little difficulty.
