Zab had a surprising amount of success in the 4 rounds he usually fights in. After that, Super Judah kicked in where he spends 8 rounds doing nothing

I wouldn't say "absorbing the best blows" is a key strategy, its dangerous to take unnecessary damage. An accumulation of punches will take a toll on anyone. I just can't see Pac dodging Mayweather's counters, the guy is a sharpshooter, and given the magnitude of this fight I think Mayweather will be on point. I hope Manny wins though lol.

Mayweather is 38 and on the decline I just hope he has 1 great fight left in him and doesn't get old over night. In fact he's been training so hard that I'm worried he maybe over training and regardless of whatever the Mayweather camp says they are very worried about Pacquiao. On the flip side I wonder how Pacquiao will react to the first right Gand lead counter from Floyd? Kenny Bayless is going to make sure Floyd is a to clinch and reset so I'm sure we are looking at another controversial decision.

I remember back in 2009 Bert Sugar said that this fight would be like a scene from The Matrix movies. Well, 6 years later not anymore.

Mayweather passed the test because Judah gasses out after 6 rounds and when he gets hit he go's all pacifist and don't fight back.......Judah also has no side to side in and out like lightning in his tool bag...he also has no level of heart......he also don't savour the battle....Judah has no right being mentioned in the same breath as pacquaio....mayweather adjusted to Judah because he was younger and was in his prime....he's 38 now let's see if his legs can handlle the speed adjustments he will have to make......mayweather sc****d by maidana the first fight and ran and grabbed the 2nd fight......he better or from better than that to beat pacquiao

Chino is much bigger than Manny, physically stronger than Manny and has a jab.

Why do people think speed will affect Mayweather but not Pacquiao? Remind me who the defensive wizard is again?
