    Floyd has a chance if he wins.

    Pac does not have a chance even if he did win.

        He needs to put a gag order on Roach too

          No not at all since both guys plan on retiring soon (probably by the end of this year). It would be really nice though for pac to be fotd twice.

          But I think kovalev has a shot at winning it if he beats Stevenson and then beats ward, etc.

            Hey guys, all bias aside and please be subjective. What are the chances Manny comes out less aggressive in the first few rounds (1-3 or 4), just pace himself and not show himself entirely until Floyd gets full confidence he can walk Manny down? Perhaps middle round to the end, Pac can attack Mayweather relentlessly once his guard is a tad bit down?



            I know it sounds movie-ish lol, but knowing Roach and how he emphasizes the "mental" aspect of this fight, is it possible we see a slightly different Pacquiao to throw the Mayweather camp off in the early round? After all, the universal consensus on this fight is "Manny only knows one way, and that's to come forward"


            Thanks,

              It's funny all the media, especially the Filipino news crews that show up to get any information from Pac during his training, yet these same people that might be overall distracting him from getting in good work, could be leading to his downfall to win the fight.

              Don't they realize, hounding him 24/7 in camp does zero good in preparation for the fight? They do want him to win don't they? lol

                This is so true. All the media attention has to be distracting for both guys. They are in the biggest fight of their respective careers and the press won't get off their asses.

                  Floyd has enough power to keep manny off of him. We didn't see Canelo rushing in vs him

                  And he did start fairly fast vs de la hoya. He won those early rounds

                  Manny has to keep feinting to back Floyd up and then throw a lot of punches

                  And hopefully get a gift decision from incompetent judges

                  Manny does have great stamina and he throws a lot of punches . Unlike maidana, pacquaio will throw starting from outside range. He has quick enough feet to do that.

                  So I'm predicting Vegas judges give credit , as they are notorious for doing, for come forward fighter that throws more punches, and the crowd will be going crazy when anything remotely looks like he landed.

                  Pacquaio by controversial decision
