I just hope the winner doesn't avoid Rod Salka

I think the biggest factor is if Floyd can do what he has to do to win once Pac starts to land and he feels his power. Seeing the reaction of guys like Cotto and Oscar immediately trying to shield their face after getting hit makes me think Pac has more to give then people let on. For Floyd to win without just running and throwing light punches to the forehead like with Maidana, he has to cement his feat and time him like Marquez and Morales. He also needs to be the one getting off first and resetting to confuse Pac. I'm not sure how Pac will handle Floyd's constant movement and resetting, but I have a feeling Pac will be more mobile and offensive. Honestly though I don't see how Floyd doesn't get caught and attacked by Pac's flurries.

The fact is that Mayweather tried to wait Pacquiao out until Manny was just a ghost of his former self. But pressure from the promoters, networks, and the public forced him to fight Pac much earlier.

Mayweather should have waited another year before finally agreeing to sign the contract.

That is Roach, not me. Pacquiao is all wrong for Mayweather and back then, with that extra bit of sharpness and more aggression, power and tenacity would have made it a 90/10 fight.

Pacquiao is a bit more cautious these days, thinking before he gets of his shots.

It will make him more tactical but not the force he once was.

You think you know boxing better than Roach? Do you think you know Manny Pacquiao better than Roach? I'm sure his opinion that this will be a close fight is far more accurate than yours.

Floyd got forced into taking this fight and it will show once Pac is tagging his face and his corner only has "man, go out there and tag this muthafucka!!!" to offer him in between rounds. No cakewalks happening here, Floyd is going to be listening to that fat lady sing.

B4 the algeri fight a lot of ppl in the boxing world felt that he would be stylistically all wrong for pac tall, long, fights on back foot just all wrong now Floyd is taller longer and I don't think that'll b a factor I think @ this age in life mannys footspeed, aggressiveness , and stamina may b to much

Like all of Floyd's opponents PACs work rate will be diminished.

I'll side with the opinion of an actually accomplished trainer than some internet fanboy.

Pacquiao has been bested by lesser fighters throughout his career. I doubt Floyd loses more than 4 rounds
