Round 1 bell rings....ding!

Who do you think comes out and takes the center of the ring?

Mayweather or Pacquiao?

Floyd boxescircles around Pacman, over & under too if Pacman gets frustrated. The center of the ring belongs to Floyd, i don't even think thats really debatable.

Floyd disposes of the jab and uses his straight right in the center of the ring. Manny tries to land a straight left and barely grazes Floyd. Manny's best hope is to get May against the ropes and rip him. If he opts to box in the center of the ring hes going to be in a world of trouble.

Floyd definitely, he stood up to 164 lb Ortiz their is no way he is intimidated by Pacquiao's punch

pacquiao brings a WHOLE new set of problem than ortiz. . . pacquiao's in and out movement is much faster and sharper than even mayweather's. . . pacquiao's power is devastating when he rips bilnding combinations. . . pacquiao will circle floyd, using feints jumping in and out with 1-2's, and the occasional lead right hook. . . his lead left is just as fast and accurate as floyd's lead right. this is truly a 50/50 fight that NEEDS to happen.

nope floyd wont pressure pacq. pacqs speed power and agility too much for floyd to stand in the center w pacq. esp after seeing some of what ortiz was able to hit him with.

Floyd's mere presence in the middle of the ring and the constant coaching by Roach to watch his lead right hand, will subconsciously force Pac backwards and nullify 80% of his offense. By round 3 he will be relegated to eating jabs and right leads with the occassional leaping off balance attack that will be twarted by Floyd backing up to allow Pac to close additional ground. Then Floyd will just step inside of him while he's over committing to the false amount of real estate that he thinks he has to cover. Now he'll be forced to dealing with the slick body shot and tie up followed by a break, thus forcing Pac to reset. Rinse, wash, and repeat. By the 6th round Pac will be on the verge of being ko'd and I anticipate Roach throwing in the towel to save his "son" by round 8.

OR....Pac continues to listen to bone heads like Ariza thinking Floyd doesn't have any pop and Pac rushes in recklessly and speeds up his walk back to the dressing room with his L by about 4 rounds.

i think the first round would be a faint fest. not much action, then they both start cooking. whoever wins the championship rounds would win the fight imo.

I hope you're not Freddie Roach in disguise, because that's terrible advice.

Floyd's jab is accurate. He'll use it as a bait to disrupt Manny's rhythm lunges/leaping in and out, all while he'll set up his straight right hands down the pipe to counters Manny. Manny is a mid-range type of fighter, and Floyd would limit his reach range and force him to fight at long distance. Manny's 1-2's combo can be neutralize. In the Mosley fight, Shane only used a flicked jab, but Manny jumped in right passed it and hit him. Manny wasn't worried about it much because Shane never set up his power punch behind his flickery jab.
