Anyone who doesn't see pac winning the fight is blind. how the hell a lowly floyd will win against pac the great?

[The Gambler1981]

I just dont see how Corley and Judah are gonna help Mayweather prepare for Pac? He would need to spar with guys like Maidana, Canelo, ect. Yes he has already fought those 2 and won on the cards but training with guys like Corley and Judah who have a very similar style to himself. They have speed, great counter fighters, but dont do the inside game very well as does Pac. I dont know I Just dont see how bragging about them two as sparring partners is going to help him when the styles are far different from the person he is going to be fighting..

The other thing with those two guys especially Judah are they are lefties that have done a ton of work with Floyd thus know all his tricks. They know what Floyd likes to do with lefties and have some idea about countering what Floyd wants to do. That is useful info for Floyd to acquire because Manny though much greater is kind of a simple fighter, so as long as Floyd has the counters to to the counters Manny tries that should be the end of the cycle.

I do agree with the southpaw thing Bat, but other than that there is not anything similar to how Pac fights. Pac is far faster than both of these men, has a shorter reach than both, is more aggressive than both and has more heart than both so I'm going to have to agree to disagree to an extent.

As far as a masterful performance from Floyd he hasnt had one of those in years. I dont see one happening on May 2 either. Unless you call the 1, 2 clinch, get separated, do some shoulder rolls, dance around the ring some more shoulder rolls, 1, 2 clinch being a masterful performance.

I honestly think this fight is probably gonna be a snore fest and one of the most over hyped fights of all time. You cant force a fighter who never fights toe to toe and refuses to bring a fight to another fighter to actually do this so as much as I want to see fireworks I think it's gonna be a snorefest just the way Mayweather intends to have it. Manny will do everything he can to bring the fight but it wont be allowed to happen.

Fair enough, rocco. I think Floyd will actually shine this time around knowing this is the highest grossing fight of his career. I believe he's intent on putting all his critics and question marks about his ability, and being the best to rest on that night.

And I don't doubt Manny will be bringing the fight to Floyd and will look to impose his will on Floyd from the starting bell. It should no doubt make for some exciting moments.

But I also sense that once Floyd catches Manny with one or two solid shots, Manny will be hesitant to risk a wild onslaught as planned.

It's when opponents are afraid of pulling the trigger after Floyd connects with solid get respect" shots that the fight becomes so-called "boring" and Floyd coasts to UD or split decision wins.

I also won't count Manny out based on the magnitude of the fight, and look forward to watching what he brings to nullify Floyd's strategy.

Betting trend says it all. A lot of boxing aficionados around the world knows what will happen to chicken Floyd come May 2. We were just watching chicken Floyd in his last three fights. If he will be fighting like that with the Pacman...his corner might as well throw in the towel right now.

Actually, many were predicting Floyd's "0" would disappear before his last three fights and all the others before that.

If you didn't already know, Floyd enjoys proving his naysayers wrong.
He relishes shutting down critics.

trust me I'm probably one of the biggest Mayweather haters out there not because I dont think he is great at his profession or anything like that at all, I just dont like him as a person. He lost all my respect with his woman abusing antics and big mouth crap he always pulls.

I do think this fight could go either way, I dont see Mayweather hurting Pac, especially considering he couldnt hurt Canelo or Maidana who even combined have not been in the ring with the opposition Pac has been in with. So as to the making a few solid get respect shots I just dont see it happening.

If Floyd is on that night and can pull off the 1, 2 clinch tactic that has won him so many fights against aggressive opponents in the past then he wins. If he plays the back against the ropes and simply counters then Pac has it.

This fight should be the biggest fight in the history of the sport but it has the potential to be the biggest flop in the history of the sport at the same time.

[Real-Talk]

Pac has no jab at all. None whatsoever.

Because you are too dumb to know that Pacquiao's job is mostly a bait job.. waste of air I tell you...
