One thing Pac seriously needs to watch out for that people aren't talking about are Floyd's body shots.
Floyd has underrated power and I know without a doubt he's going to be targeting Pac's liver. You can see it in his bag work. That's a southpaw's biggest weakness.
If Pac gets stopped, it will be because of liver shots.

NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING about Maidana is telegraphed. He throws punches at odd angles and has improved his jab enough to control a fighter with it. Plus he outweighed Floyd by 15 pounds and bullied his way to the ropes. Moreover, he barely landed anything clean, I would know I just watched both fights back to back 10 minutes ago lol.

I can't wait for this, I'm so thankful we get to all be a part of Boxing history, just like our father's and grandfather's were with their classic matchups.
I'll be betting on my usual, Mayweather by decision.
Much similar to a lot of people though, I do see Floyd struggling for 3-4 rounds adjusting to Manny's speed and quick combos.
I feel after about round 4 though, Floyd will have his timing to a T and will be catching Manny coming in with some hard right hands. I see Floyd going to the body a LOT early on to slow Manny's work rate down and to make the pace of the fight, his pace.
Floyd is a master craftsman, a real ring general and I just see him once again "finding a way" and figuring it out.
I'm a little worried about the judges though and much similar to Mayweather/DeLaHoya could see a split decision given the magnitude of the event. I'm just hopeful Floyd doesn't get screwed because he's made it clear he's on his way out of the game in September.

Pacquiao is the naturally smaller guy, shorter arms and shorter in height. He also lacks Floyd's reflexes. Pac was a puncher at lightweight and below, just like Floyd was. And according to the numbers Floyd has stopped three guys at 147 lbs(including the Ortiz fight) and Manny has only stopped one guy.
Pac gets Ko'd, gets dropped and even cuts easier than Floyd. So how is Pac the naturally more gifted guy?
Manny did a number on Cotto and the Margarito fight should have been stopped. Others like Clottey, Mosley and others once they got hit, they did whatever to not get KOed. In other words, they went into survival mode.
Manny is fighting at 147 but is smaller than Floyd. What makes Manny Manny is why he is able to fight in these higher weights not because he can't make the lower weights.

Harder punches worth more.
Maidana ring general in a lot of rounds fighting the fight where he wanted it to be fought, and showed more effective aggression .
