[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

lol at these people trying to come up with strategies for Floyd to beat Pacquiao.

And people need to stop with the walking down nonsense. Neither guy is going to try that strategy. Pac is going to work on leading with the straight left and throwing combos while constantly turning Floyd to his weak side (avoiding his right) in the center of the ring and trapping him on the ropes to land flurries. Floyd will try to play keep away and counter.

I'm a Mayweather fan all day, and I'm riding with him come fight night.

But I will say.....I've always had just a funny feeling that Manny would win, especially after watching Floyd in 2014. Sure, he still won both fights, and rather easily won the rematch.

But I just have a funny feeling this fight is destined for more than just 1.

i think floyds trademark stiff jab to the stomach will be the key weapon. that punch does so many things at once. it creates space for him to move away, it disrupts the opponents rhythm forcing him to reset and is a great set up for a right hand.. mannys greatness is based on his rhythm, this shot will have him constantly resetting. and floyds footwork will frustrate him, when manny takes off he over extends his punches and gets so uncoordinated he at times trips on his own feet. when guys just step back when he takes off hes left punching air with his body square wide open, floyd is gonna pick him apart.

Bad punch to utilize with someone who is really good at countering jabs over the top with a right hook.

i think that's when Pacquiao gets uncomfortable, when fighters get close to Pacquiao he reacts in uncomfortable ways and as he pulls back he's vulnerable to gettin hit, he sure as hell avoided fighting on the inside even against Brandon Rios, the only time Pac gets inside is when he's been whooping his opponent for a good while

Even against Brandon Rios? Rios is probably the best inside fighter at welterweight right now, why the hell would Pac fight him on the inside.

I think people think too much of Floyd's boxing skill. He's inside game is a little better than Pacquiao but not by much. He was scared to death to fight on the inside with Guerrero and resulted to clinching every time they got close and he was beaten up by Maidana in the first fight when they were in close.

I'm sure everyone involved would love that scenario. Just the amount of money involved would be absurd. Already is with just one fight.

If Floyd wins, NO WAY IN HELL WOULD THERE BE A REMATCH. Unless it was razor sharp close like Floyd-Maidana I and there is no other alternative. Or unless the outcome was in doubt like Floyd-Castillo I.

I feel like this fight has been built up so much, I don't know. I just have a funny feeling Manny is going to win. Just a weird gut feeling.

Can't wait to see the surprise in the Pac haters eyes.

Mass suicide will occur.
