Southpaw aside, every advantage that Manny had over Floyd in 2009 has IMO noticeably declined.
    And Zab won the early rounds. Fortunately for Floyd zab was/is a 4 round fighter. If Zab had 1/4 of pacman's mental fortitude and stamina he could have beaten mayweather.

      And like you said. Timing beats speed. OVER TIME, it definitely did for Floyd, but that was Zab Judah. The same guy that always blows his load early, then tapers off dramatically.

      What happens when he's fighting a guy that's gonna be the same or near the same for all 12, and also throws back COMBINATIONS. Not single counters like Judah. What happens is, Floyd needs to really dig down deep and prepare himself for high speed chess, and damage for all 12.

      He didn't have to deal with that style with Cotto, and Cotto gave him all he could handle. He's dealing with first 4 rounds Judah, but for all 12.

          B-Hop/Tito easily. Except Pacman's been exposed so we'll see the outcome coming from half a world away.

He is going to pot shot then move and Manny will have to obviously be the aggressor. Floyd is just going to circle around that left hand so Manny won't throw it.The more aggressive Manny is then the more open he is to being countered. But don't expect for it to be some type of epic showdown. No will get KO'D or stopped in this fight. When they get on the inside expect the forearm and the clinch when needed and a few uppercuts from Floyd. Manny can't really fight on the inside which is why he either clinches or always pulls his opponents head down when they get too close. I'm telling you it will be a boring fight. Maybe a easy win for Mayweather but we will never know.

                He stood in front of Mosley(even after Mosley hurt him) and Mosley punches harder than Pacquiao.

                  this is a good pick imo ...no clear winner....at this point, i have to favor floyd but pac can definitely win by activity....more missed shots for pac but more points compare to floyd's good accuracy but not enough output.....

                    Floyd would make his punch output seize up and when he did throw, a counter would send him off balance.

                    Pac probably wins 2 to 4 rounds tops. As soon as Floyd adjusts it would be a long and boring fight. Floyd moves, Pac has a lot of difficulties with movement which is why he looks good when he fights washed up bunching bags.

                      Trinidad vs odlh...floyd boxes beautifully until he feels pacs power...then he runs all night and loses the fight on the cards. Pac becomes #1 ATG and floyd slowly succombs to a life of drug abuse and cross dressing sex
