I do get a chuckle from the people treating this as though it was going to be a walk in the park for Floyd. We have every right to dislike a fighter. We don't even need a good reason. I disliked Fulgencio Zuniga just because of how ugly his face is. So if you dislike Pacquiao, just say "I dislike Pacquiao".
But when you discredit the fighter he is AND the threat that he poses to Floyd, it's clear that you don't like him but you're expressing it in a very juvenile way. I assume most of those who do are still in their early teens, and for that, they get a pass. But those of you who are >20, you should be ashamed.
He was Fighter of the Decade, not Floyd. Roach was Trainer of the Year 5 times (3 more than any other trainer since the Futch-Condon Award began), not Sr. or Roger. Pacquiao holds the World Record for titles in multiple-divisions, not Floyd. (P.S. people can piss and moan about catch-weights all they want, but a Division is a RANGE of weight, not the limit. Welterweight is 140.1 to 147.... not 147). If you weigh 140 on the nose, you are a Jr. Welter. If you then eat so much as a peanut, you are officially a Welterweight. It's Pac that was awarded Fighter of the Year 3x, to Floyd's 2x.
Will Mayweather win? Probably. If it comes between losing and riding that bike, he'll pedal like his undefeated record depended on it. But this will require the uppermost limit of his A Game. Pacquiao may have all the weaknesses that would cause him to lose, but Floyd lacks the most important tools to beat Manny (output and power). Floyd outclasses you... he doesn't knock you on your ass. He doesn't have that kind of power. He either has to beat you down round after round (Corrales, Hatton) or catch you unaware (Ortiz, Gatti).
So I'll admit it, I just don't like Floyd. I think he's a hood rat who has two strengths: fighting his ass off and surrounding himself with people much smarter than himself. Otherwise, he's loud, crass, devoid of tact, immature, DEEPLY insecure, and just plain dumb. The guy is a dummie. BUT, I think he wins this fight and he's going to bust Manny up in the process.
But you better believe Manny is going to tax his ass as well! On way to a decision victory, Floyd is going to know hurt he hasn't felt since a cracked out Floyd Senior used to beat him with a fly swatter.

With that quote Manny said in the article it's clear the pressure might be too much to handle. I can already hear him in an almost apologetic tone thanking his people for the support post interview & how he tried his best for the fans and uh uh Mayweather is a great fighter & fought a great fight & he knew how important this win would've been for the fans.... Oh please

The post-presser will be two blubbering babies. One sad because he let the entire world down who were all hoping he'd kick the other one's ass.
And the other because people won't hug his nuts as tightly as Ellerbe.
Should be more exciting than the fight itself.
