Comments Thread For: Jean Pascal: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is a 50-50 Fight

It could go either way, I'll have some money on the draw for sure.

They have both slipped. I agree with Pascal that it will be competitive, with a slight edge to Floyd.

I say 50.5/49.5 with the edge for Mayweather.

Seriously, I think this is going to be a surprisingly easy fight for Mayweather. Pacquiao will throw some flurries to get the fans excited but he'll find it hard to hit Mayweather for the majority of the fight.

Like Vinny Pazienza said " Manny can through a bag of rice at him and not hit him and he is gunna beat Floyd , no way no how "

[Gary Coleman]

Don't be surprised when Floyd gets Hatton'd

If they fight, Pacquiao stops Floyd and I'd bet my NSB account on it

Yeah right...

You'd have an alt account the next day.

If Pac gets "Pacquiaoed", please post a video of you crying like a five year old. That would be one of the funniest things ever posted on the Internet.

Anyway, I've always been 50-50 about this fight. I can't wait. May the best man win.

This post makes no sense. First you suggest Mayweather is a razor thin favorite over Pacquiao then say he's going to win this fight easily? WTF

[DominiBox]

What about the third fight where Marquez outboxed Manny but was robbed (again)? Oh PEDs helped him there too, huh?

lol... Let me guess... Marquez was robbed the first three fights? Same way Marquez was crying about being robbed against Bradley?

You know, I was watching #MayweatherHatton two days ago just to see Floyd fighting under pressure against a fighter who is not physically stronger than him, like was the case against Maidana. And I told myself, Pacquiao is going to surprise a lot of people with the ease he's going to land on Mayweather.

Then I watched #MayweatherMaidana1 and saw Floyd with a different and better defensive stance. But that lasted 2 or 3 rounds.

Bottom line, I can see Floyd winning the first round, but Pacquiao feeling comfortable with his movements. Like Robert Garcia said, It's not easy to prepare against Manny. He's awkward and most of the time you don't know what to expect from him.

If the fight happens, Pacquiao is going to steal many rounds and win a SD.

This post reminds me of the people who watch Pacquiao's fights against Marquez and Morales and say "if those guys can counter Manny, Floyd will counter Manny with ease!" Truth is their fights against other fighters aren't too relevant.

The two guys you listed are conventional fighters who apply pressure by muscling a guy around with their bodies and fighting dirty. Pacquiao is not a physical guy like that. He fights mid range and fights in an ambush style.

Although I definitely see Manny causing problems for Floyd I can't see him doing it all 12 rounds. Pacquiao is a guy who goes out there an executes a game plan. When the puzzle is easy to solve he'll destroy you. Mayweather is like a rubix cube, an evolving puzzle. His style can change from round to round and I don't see Pacquiao being able to deal with that. Marquez proved you can give Pac MASSIVE headaches with even the slightest adjustments.
