    ^^^^^^
    Floyd hand did touch the canvas just that the referee did not see it.

    Pacquiao workrate can definitely help him do that but we will never know until Floyd choose to fight Pacquiao regardless of any circumstances.

      Virtually no chance.

      That fight was always going to be one-sided in Mayweather's favour. Pac's power is nowhere near what some on here would have you believe, he'd get a boxing lesson.

        I guess I would add that is Corley and Mosely stunned Mayweather... Pac could CERTAINLY drop Floyd.

            Floyd's been hurt a few times in his career. Mesh that up with opponents landing less than 20% on him. Manny hasn't had a KO since 2009, -so it's probably safe to say he wouldn't ko Floyd back then- Floyd has the height, reach, boxing ability, and defense advantages on Pac. With Floyd's boxing ability Pac's punch output will certainly drop.

            So with all that mixed in to go along with other factors, I'd give Pac a 5% chance at best at knocking Floyd out.

            That's still a higher percentage than I'd have him actually winning the fight, so it's not all bad for Manny

Mayweather would make him miss and counter him a lot better than Marquez did. Mayweather is not Ricky Hatton. No matter how spectacular that KO was the chance of that happening to Mayweather is the same chance of winning the lottery.
                Marquez got knocked down five times and stunned a lot to make those counters happen. His effective countering relied highly on taking one to give one, this is a very bad stylistic match-up for Mayweather.

                  Because Pac hit harder than Mosley does, right?

                    I'd say its impossible for PAC to do. He doesn't have the power and Floyd will see his punches coming plus Floyd legs won't allow it

Manny Pacquiao couldn't knock down Bradley, Margarito, Clottey, or De La Hoya; all guys who have touched the canvas in their career. And he's now suppose to KD Floyd, a guy who has never officially been knocked down (not counting the "knee" he took during a hand injury) and is far greater defensively than those fighters mentioned? Matter of fact, there's more of a chance of Floyd knocking down Pacquiao than the other way around.

                      Please guy. Floyd would reduce pacs punch output to less than 20%. You mean Floyd's style is all wrong for PAC. He'd make easy work of pac
