Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[aihki]

This thing of pacquiao with lesser accuracy makes his punch unpredictable and can give floyd problems. floyd prefers accurate punchers as he can predict where the punch lands and evades it.

i have no doubt that floyd seeing pac as a big threat to his zero.

Those loses of pac helps lessen the scare factor. If Pac-Marqz IV ended with JMM on the floor and bradley defeated in TKO, would anyone think Floyd will still have courage left to face pac? I think he will tear his contract with showtime and retire.

Serious question? Is there any other boxer in the sport that can garner as many ppv by themselves like pac or mayweather ?

uh is that jinkee or erik morales with a wig? i recognize that nose when i see it.

Thats not eric morales....he is the same heroin junkie that begs for quarters in santurce

Floyd shows up to every rodeo...do you think as hard as he trains that he will come up short? Talk is cheap...everytime floyd faced stubborness he pushed back...pac hasnt as much hs doesn't switch gears or adapt as well.... Pac is an atg never the less

Yup Floyd pushes back:
- No fight unless there is a PEDs test.
- No fight unless opponent wears different gloves.
- Ref had a bad night. Opponent is dirty. I'm clean. I'm sure the next one will do the job right next time. Says it in every interview until he gets his wish.
- Both have 154 titles. Floyd calls for a CW of 152.
- Coming in at 144 was too much for Floyd. Floyd comes in at the comfortable weight of 146lbs.
- SUCKER PUNCH when the opponent isn't expecting a punch. Gatti, Mosley, Ortiz, ....
- Tells everyone to be 100% natural like him. Yet, we hear that he injected drugs into his hands. Recycled his blood (Vampire) by way of centrifuge.

You are right. Floyd adapts.

If within the first 7-8 rounds Floyd is being dropped like Algieri or mugged like Margarito's face I expect Floyd to not come out for the ninth round. "health comes first" will be put in blatant context.

It's ironic that the boxrec/tstreet "news" came out last night because 2 days ago i had a dream that the fight was confirmed it was all over espn in addition to every other media outlet. In the press conf they both looked supremely confident i didn't even care who was going to win i was just happy the fight was made. Then i woke up lol

I'm pretty sure Floyd will not come out to Pac when that happens. Manny is at best when you attack him. Remember his fight to Pac-Bradley I. Bradley try to attack Pac but Pac evaded all Tim shot while landing all his shot. Elite Stuff

Look at 13min:12sec

Floyd will not quit...in the ring. He's a coward outside of it, but not in it. He will take that battering to the end, unless his father has seen enough. But if Algieri can survive 12 rounds of chasing, what makes one believe that Floyd cannot?

Floyd Sr said he would stop the fight if Manny gets to Floyd.

Negotiations didn't go anywhere. Reports are the fight is off!
