Floyd dominated Chino both fights. They were not close at all. The rematch was a shutout and a maidana came into the fight at 165. Manny will be slightly faster but he has bad techniques and is off balance. Mayweather isbetter overall where Mannybhas one style....come forward and overwhelm you with volume. You need more than pressure to beat Floyd. Everyone says that. I hope Freddie has a plan B.Comment

Pacquiao dominated Bradley in both fights, even more so in the first. How can pacquiao outland Bradley almost 2 to 1 and have a higher connect percentage and also have the much harder punches and lose? There were rounds that Bradley got dominated and a judge would give the round to Bradley. Totally inept judging. Bradley threw more but pacquiao had a phenomenal guard and he was hitting pacmans gloves and forearms the entire fight. Bradley actually did alot better in the second when he was trying to take pacquiaos head off. And also Manny won the first 3 Marquez fights and was dominating the 4th so its not as if Marquez was schooling pacquiao, he happened to have memo who gave him peds and the power to Ko pacquiaoOriginally posted by Gary Coleman View PostComment

Manny has bad techniques and is off balance?!"!? This shows you dksab. Manny has some of the best offensive techniques in the game which is why he had had so much success. And if hes so off balance how come elite fighters cant score a knockdown against him? Manny is built like a **** brick house, especially his legs and core which allow him to easily absorb punches without falling down, even while appearing to be off balance. A guy like algieri is what you could call off balance which I was saying before his fight with pacquiao that he would get knocked down a bunch of times because he has those small chicken legsOriginally posted by truefan View PostComment

And actually your wrong, Manny isn't a come forward fighter at all... He is an in and out fighter and he also sometimes stays put and pumps a jab in his opponents face and looks for counters, which was effective against Bradley. The in and out style of pacquiao is exactly what mayweather has trouble with. Castillo beat him using in and out movements, and when he was in he would stay in for awhile and throw high volume combos and pressure and then would move out. Also de la Hoya and maidana both were very effective at using an in and out style and those fights could have gone either way. These guys are nothing compared to the animal that is pacquiao. Hes the best in and out fighter in the game, and is also a southpaw which Floyd has had trouble with in the past. When you put those factos together this should be a pretty convincing and dominant performance from pacquiao even though mayweather fans will argue that mayweather won just like in the Bradley fight, except this time the judges will be competent in their scoring. That's of course if Manny doesn't knock him out firstOriginally posted by truefan View PostComment

If JR had a better chin than Bradley,then he'll survive 12rd if not He'll kiss the canvas all night long!Comment

Controlling range will be the biggest factor, not so much speed. Mayweather's ability to control range with his reaction speed negates Pacquiao's hand speed advantage, or what little he has over Mayweather.Comment

Its hilarious when people say how technically flawed and off balance pacquiao is. If he was so technically flawed he would have had problems with guys like Bradley and algieri. If he was so off balance he would be getting knocked down by big punchers like cotto and margarito. The only way to beat pacquiao is knockout, that is floyds only hopeComment

Nah no way....maidana came very close to beating mayweather the 1st fight....first 5 rounds mayweather lost.....boxing is scored over a number of rounds and each round is scored 10-9 that's how boxing is scored so maidana was 5 rounds up over 6....added with the 12th round this fight could have been given a drawer....judges don't wait for 12 rounds and say ohhhh that was he was slightly better in defence or counterpunched better...they score the round and then hand there card in...even a novice knows that........with pacquaio he is not predictable....he comes in low and with a guard and create angles which floyd has not seen in a very very long time.....he is explosive and can be very dangerous...he throws his left and has already moved to the left....mayweather can make adjustments to ordinary orthodox fighters but pacquaio is a whole different beast in terms of movement speed & power and stamina from a southpaw stance.....pacquaio is a n offensive fighter so it stands to reason he does get tagged sometimes but really compared to other offensive fighters pacquaio is very rarely bothered by a barrage of punches because he is never in range that long...may2nd your see just how difficult pacquaio will be for mayweather.....peace outOriginally posted by truefan View PostComment

Also mayweather is known for starting slow until he figures his opponent out, times him and makes the adjustments. It will be very difficult for mayweather to time pacquiao because he is so unorthodox and switches up his combinations alot. Against Bradley, Bradley was timing pacquiaos straight left and would duck his head back, down, and to the right. Pacquiao quickly picked up on this and started timing Bradley to where he knew bradleys head would be after he ducked. Every time Bradley ducked his head to the right, a fist would meet his face. Mayweather also ducks his head to the right and pacquiao will be able to take away that strategy. Pacquiao is going to show who is the technical and master boxer on may 2ndComment
