Size matters yeah; the size of the fighters heart. In that measure Pacquiao completely overshadows Floyd. Floyd's problem to deal with, he isn't going to be able to run. And no matter how many shoulder roles and slips he attempts he's never faught such fast and plentyfull shots. His size isn't going to help him. He may need to consider coming in even lighter.

Pacquiao’s swarming style will face a master boxer in Mayweather. People can say what they want and I am no Mayweather fan, but this guy can straight out box. He made a guy like JMM look like a fool. Until beaten Mayweather as hard as it is for me to say is the clear favorite in this match up.

I know you can agree that Manny is much faster than JMM at this weight AND that JMM is a counter puncher and has a completely different style than Manny, correct?

As a boxing fan of 25 year's, I have never wanted to see a match happen more then this one. After Manny's beast mode performance against Cotto, and I can't believe I am saying this, me being a ***** and all, but he has a better then a fair chance of beating Mayweather. I still will put all my point's on Floyd, the week of the fight. No doubt about it in my mind.

what i'm curious to know, more so than how this fight plays out, is the game plan freddie roach would cook up to beat mayweather. that and maybe who he'd bring in for sparring.

Ive been saying since they started pairing the two of them up, that Mayweather dominates the smaller Pac. After Saturday tho, and the fact Pac can take Cottos punch and keep coming Floyd may be in trouble. Zabs soutpaw stance and speed gave Floyd trouble for a couple rounds add Pacs workrate, 8 punch combos and footwork and Floyd may have his hands full. If I can bet of Floyd as the underdog tho, Im puttin BIG money on him. Pac is great but so is Floyd and if a good bigger man beats a good smaller man then a bigger great man beats a great smaller man.

Great point. I think Pac's camp did the damn thing, putting him in with the monster's he had to spar with for Cotto. The reason why I picked Cotto, was, I thought his power would eventually wear Pac down. Nope. The thing with Mayweather is, he adapt's. Can he frustrate Manny enough to make a fatal mistake? Man, MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN.
