    As the majority I believe Floyd takes the decision. Pacquiao needs to stop him imo to get the win. If it goes the distance and Pac looks good, he will still get robbed.

      Yeah that's a very real (and unfortunate) reality Weltsch Power of money really.

      I will be very surprised if Floyd actually goes through with the fight still. I just have this su****ion he might suffer a "training injury" or something at an opportune moment

        PAC wins on activity

        Early rounds will be key for PAC to put in the bank a la Leonard vs hagler

            Anyway Pacquiao is not that active like many say..

            He will be worried of Floyd counters so I think he won't be able to pressure that much..even if it is the only key to hope a victory

              Mayweather wont dell go into the shoulder roll against manny pacquaio and this is why.



              Mayweather knows he gonna have to fight and try to run Pacquaio into shots instead of just trying to avoid and pot shot.

                  Trust me pac will put himself out there to get knocked out again trying to get to floyd. I just can't see pac being gun shy, even if he's getting counter to death by floyd I just can't see manny stopping and giving up. He'll prolly come foward swinging until he gets knocked out or until he puts floyd out. Just my 2 cent.

                    If Manny try to box and outsmart Floyd probably he will fail

                    I think the only solution to win that match is a high risk-high reward strategy like Maidana did: being reckless and put constant pressure and lots of punches from every position. Unlike Maidana, Manny has enough speed, power, stamina and footwork to do this succesfully, but there is always the risk to take the KO counter like marquez, but is the only way to win against Floyd.
