How would Mayweather's hands hold up against Pacquiao's chin?

Don't people realise that Pac is done now? I'm his biggest fan but he will never recover from the KO.

You are the biggest hater in town. You can talk all that crap defending a COWARD, are you a real man? a real man who is not a racist idiot who only sides with his own will yell at Floyd and disown him,not defend him for his coward moves. I personally think Floyd whoops Manny but Floyd doesn't have confidence in himself. I like guys who are about it like James Toney, Mayorga, or Ali guys who will talk **** but actually fight the guy, Floyd talks **** about PAcquiao but never even fought this guy, and stop bringing up drug tests thats BS. If JMM can KO Manny without drug tests why can't Floyd?

Oscar doesn't get sympathy so nix that he called out a small man and cherry picked him and got beat up bad.

Cotto wasn't drained, he was actually faster and better in that fight with Pacquiao.

And you bringing up Cotto is lame, so basically he was drained and shot when Pac beat him, but he miraculously was revived before he fought Mayweather weigh out of his natural weight division?

Also you love crying catchweight, yet Floyd had a catchweight calling out Marquez and failed to make that weight, thats the worst of the WORST!

Hatton was shot with a new trainer? Hatton just put a boxing clinic on Paulie Maliggnaggi, he schooled him with Floyd Sr. in his corner prior to fighting Pacman. Many say that was Hattons best performance other than his fight with Kostya Tszyu.

And finally what do you do for a living? you seem to post on here every hour of the day dissing Pacquiao.

I see you swallow hype like most kids lol , if it was right Manny would not have gone splat like a dropped pie , karma sucks eh .

Now go and start some more hate threads while you call other who never start threads a hater , lol your such a loser that likes dropped pies .

Well I think it his best, Manny doesn't get discouraged as easily as he has in recent years when stopped short. Constantly pausing and cramping against Mosley, being lazy against Bradley and JMM (3rd fight). Throwing with diversity makes Floyd have to worry about more, pick his "pre-counters" more carefully, and that gives Manny an advantage.

I also think psychology would play a role here. I don't think Floyd truly fears a fighter once in the ring, but he has too much respect for Pacquiao's power (which at 147 is solid but far from Julian Jackson-esque). I think that early on, Manny will gain points on activity, and if he can drop Floyd or even just rock him backwards, it's a new dynamic. Floyd firmly believes, still, that he's beating 147 pounders because he has unnatural powers. Assuming they went through testing and Pac was still Pac, if he felt such a shot (and he's going to be hit hard at least once by that straight left early), I feel he'd start becoming very defensive and take very little risks and become oversensitive to Manny's feints. But this isn't something I often talk about because it's pure speculation on psychology. But it does speak to the fact that the dynamics for this fight would have been an interesting clash of styles and personalities.

I don't see Manny being smothered at all. Floyd doesn't offensively swarm fighters on the inside, he obliges them once they press, and Manny doesn't linger chest- to-chest, he circles out.

So like I said, best case scenario, Pacquiao wins a few early rounds on activity, hurts or drops Floyd, and steals a few late on activity as well, winning a split decision. He has the footspeed of Hatton, and Floyd didn't out-maneuver him until later; and the speed of Judah, who's straight left to the head and body was potent when it landed. He's also more mobile than both when it comes to using lateral angles.

But again, Floyd is very effective moving to his right, so assuming Pac is active early and Floyd does adjust by the mid rounds, the question becomes whether Pac can start timing his left hand towards the way Floyd ducks down (as in Guerrero), the same way he did when Tim ducked down. The scenario for that comes to mind when I try to illustrate Pac's offensive goals against Floyd's defense is Ward-Dawson and Pacquiao-Cotto; in both cases the opponent ducked towards their rear hand while planted and ate a head-body-head combination while circling away from the rear hand. But due to the range, it could also end up like Rigondeaux Donaire, where the back-step has him reaching and the check hook is there for the taking. But Pac is offensively much more capable and quick than Donaire.

What do you guys thinks of this post?
