    If Floyd wins, break tradition and put him in the hall of fame this year. Don't make him wait 5 years.

    It would be that great of a victory if he wins clearly

    Because pacquaio has a great gameplan and is fully motivated.

    Whereas Floyd has the disadvantage of having a trainer who has come up with no gameplan and has constantly undermined pacquaios skills.

    Floyd's gonna give away too many early rounds and it's gonna cost him big time like George foreman said on legends speak.

    Mayweather does have a better eye than pacquaio. Manny falls asleep sometimes and gets hit. But I honestly feel he will raise his game because of the magnitude of the event.

    Final prediction: Pacquaio points and for technical breakdown just search my posts in this thread

          I think it will be a UD for Floyd, but hopefully a late KO opportunity presents itself and Floyd goes for it then.
          Flowmos still burning with the desire of their god getting a KO.

            Hanz, I honestly do

            What wins fights at the very elite level?

            Skills
            Preparation
            Execution

            I could go on but those are main factors

            Preparation is key

            Roach trash talks to curve the nerves and if it gains any mental edge on the opponent, he does it. He plants a seed with the media. For example, talking about how Floyd is scared because he's not trash talking. Does he really believe that? I think no. Fighters aren't scared. But boxing media are woefully inept and they kept asking Floyd why he's not trash talking, thinking this is the first time he's been like that, which it's not.

            Whereas sr actually believes the ludicrous things he's saying. Just go on fighthype or fighthub and you won't believe the nonsense this guy is spewing

                @KevinI: I am hearing the PPV for #MayPac is tracking for an enormous number. If trends continue, I expect it over 4 million

                    Always thought Mayweather will win handily....

                    first 3 rounds competitive and tense, full of touch jabs and feints. I think Pacquiao will catch him with his 'manila ice' right hook a few times as Floyd tries to lead with the right.

                    As the fight goes on Mayweather will be able to feint to draw the right hook which misses THEN catch him with the straight right and once he's established that it's a wrap.

                    Manny hasn't got a good jab and isn't a inside fighter, Mayweather can wait for him to over extended with the pawing lazy jab and the right hand left hook is wide open for him.

                    Mayweather complaining about the protective cup tells me he's looking for the body and that's no surprise, his body work is underrated and Manny with his textbook block is open for it like Khan.
