Most boxers and analysts say its close to 50/50 but would give a slight edge to mayweather. Odlh has said its a 50/50 fight. Tim Bradley said the same. Not too many people are saying its a foregone conclusion mayweather would win. Truth is pacquiao should be favored, but hes lost before and mayweather hasn't. Think about this, between their 5 common opponents, pacquiao has dominated 4/5 of them a lot more impressively. Common opponents are a pretty good indicator of who will do better in a fight generally. Think about this, do you think Manny would have lost to any fighter Floyd gas faced the last 10 years? Lol obviously not. I cant think of one opponent mayweather has beaten that would give Manny any trouble whatsoever. I think Manny Vs. Mayweather will look a lot like Manny vs. Chris algieri, with maybe 2 knockdowns instead of six. I've seen fans on here say Manny has a punchers chance!?!? Manny hasn't lost a legitimate decision ti anyone in the last 10 years since his lost to Morales. If anything Floyd is the one with a punchers chance, but I dint think he has the power to do it. Plus his hands are too brittle. If Manny doesn't respect his power which I suspect he won't, Floyd is going to get the beat down of a lifetime. Also Floyd got rocked by a well past his prime and weak mosely. Got floored by zab Judah. Manny has the skills and the power to potentially knock him out. Even if the Ko doesn't happen, I don't see any scenario besides a robbery or a serious injury that Floyd could possibly win a decision over pacquiao.

Exactly, people who say since Marquez KO'd pacquiao mayweather would do the same is exactly like saying pacquiao would easily beat mayweather because algieri had a similar running style. I do feel like pacquiao would easily beat mayweather though. He has said this himself and hes never that ****y. I watched an interview on YouTube that he gave while in England a few days ago. He basically said the same thing and hes not worries at all about mayweather. He also said he wasn't worried about khan and was laughing when the interviewer asked if mayweather would give him any problems. Manny knows he will win and so does mayweather.Comment

Explain how its ******? Its the truth and everyone knows it whether or not they want to admit it. Everyone has said pacquiao is the fastest fighter they've ever faced, comes in from weird angles, has incredible snap on his punches and so on and so on. Brandon Rios said he it seemed like he was fighting 3 people at the same time. People say pacquiao doesn't know how to adjust and I dint think that's true. Look at Bradley 2 where pacquiao started off throwing his crazy combos and did his usual where he throws his combos and then ducks behind his opponent causing him to spin so its hard to counter him. Bradley did some serious weight training for that fight because his intention was to knock pacquiao out, because he even said himself before the fight on HBO 24/7 that he couldn't win a decision against pacquiao so he'd have to Ko him. He was landing some heavy blows on pacquiao and even lifted him completely off the floor with I e of the punches. Pacquiao adjusted and started to counter more and tightened his defense and became less aggressive. He has learned how to do that so ce his Ko loss to Marquez. Bradley was right though, nobody can win a fair decision against pacquiao. The problem Floyd has is he doesn't have the power to Ko pacquiao so pacquiao will do his usual destructionComment

Porter probably thinks he is versatile also. Both he and Pacquaio are among the most one dimensional fighters I have ever seen. Both fight in a come-forward face first style. Neither is capable of making adjustments and neither is capable of fighting going backwards.Comment

I think that you're using too much logic... I just think Mayweather style is awful for Paquiao.. He knows his philly pot shot style will not work with a guy just as fast, just as strong, southpaw, with GREAT footwork, angles and RIGHT hook.. He'll just shell up and think he can win a fight hitting 3-4 times a round, while pac just goes to work and just hits anything.. and getting out.. Mayweahter is just made up to be some kind of great boxer, but you look at Maidana, Guerrero, Ortiz, DLH, Hatton, Cotto to an extent.. are all flat footed fighters.. primed for lead rights and check hooks..
pac is awkward.. he's jumps in, out, around... that's why I thin he CAN outpoint money..Comment
