    Bradley threw his entire body into that punch,with every intention of a ko,and was only able to stun pacquiao for couple seconds,he did'nt drop him,or ko him,so quit reaching. Will floyd mayweather do the same thing as bradley,which is to go for a ko,and try to overpower manny? Hells no,hes going to pick his shots,counter off the ropes,clinch,smother mannys work,and try to walk away with a decision. Thats why I think that manny can honestly pull off a decision win over floyd,by purely outworking him. It going to be like the 1st maidana fight,except manny has far better movement,better accuracy,and he wont gas out by the 6th round.

      Thurman should focus his attention on his next opponent -- the first opponent that he will fight who is not journeyman-level -- instead of concerning himself with Mayweather/Pacquaio. Thurman will have to fight the best fight he has ever fought just to win four rounds against Guerrero.

          And when wrecks Guerrero, you will act like nothing happened. He'll make you eat your words like Canelo and Wilder did.

          You are easily one of the top 5 most clueless posters on here.

              Pretty much how I see the fight playing out too. I think Floyd wins by decision but Pac is going to make him earn every round.

                Pac doesn't fight with the same urgency/intensity anymore and that's no surprise. Floyd is easier to hit now than he was a few years ago as well, but he has aged better than Pac due to styles and how little punishment he's taken
                Pacquiao fought with the same intensity that made him famous against Rios. Algieri was on his bike running and pacquiao chose his shots and combos carefully but made them all count and executed a pretty much flawless game plan. For Bradley 2 Bradley bulked up alot because he even said before the fight he was going for the knockout because he didn't feel like he could win a decision against pacquiao. Once Bradley lifted him off his feet with a great shot around the 2nd round, Manny fought a lot more cautiously because he said he could feel his power. Floyd mayweather doesn't have the power to trouble Manny and that will be his downfall. If Manny doesn't respect your power like in the algiero fight, he goes in and throws crazy combos from all angles and he is going to hurt mayweather. I expect there will be a couple knockdowns at least, with Manny cruising to a somewhat comfortable unanimous decision. He could also knock Floyd out. Zab Judah floored mayweather, and Shane mosely almost knocked him out but couldn't finish. I feel like if Manny catches Floyd with a good shot early enough in the round, he will be able.to finish him. The 9th round knockdown of algieri should have been a knockout, considering he barely made it up at 9 and was still stumbling all over the ring. Either way this should be fairly easy work for pacman #fight pacquiao #sign the contract

                  Alot of people are picking pacquiao as well. Shawn porter, Roberto Duran, nacho baristain, mike Tyson, hagler, many people are picking pacquiao to win. Pacquiao has said himself in multiple interviews he could easily best Floyd and isn't worried about him at all. Manny is.never that ****y and is always really humble. I agree with pacquiao, floyds Philly shell will get cracked by the lightning quick left handed bombs that Manny will be cracking him in the face with the whole fight. Floyd might even quit on his stool, you know how he hates taking punishment #fight pacquiao #sign the contract

                      About 99 percent of Mayweather's haters on this site are non-black. Not calling you guys racists lol just stating the obvious fact. That's for you to search within and find but start here:

                      Ask yourself. Do I hate Floyd? Now ask yourself. Am I black lol?

                      You fit the description don't you? Again not calling anyone racist jus stating the facts.

                      That other 1 percent are geek nerd weirdo misfit blacks mad at Floyd because he remind them of someone who fcked their gal back in highschool.
