Styles make fights and although Manny might make things difficult for Floyd at times, the more I see each of them fight, the less chance I see for Manny beating him. Floyd relies on the other fighter's aggression to bring him in and then he counter punches accurately. Manny is quick and has decent movement, but he has a horrible habit of leaving his feet to jump in and punch. The speed might give Floyd problems early, and being a lefty would add to them, but eventually Floyd would adapt and be able to time the jump and counter punch to build a lead in the middle and later rounds.
Pac has a good chance to beat Floyd for the following reasons: Bradley is more agile then Floyd, Pac prefers to fight taller than him, Floyd is also diminishing.
Floyd admitted he is concern with his health fighting Pacquiao. He also told what if he lose to Pacquiao.Floyd also told he is a rich coward.
The thing about Floyd is that since the Cotto fight he has fought against fighters who are slow as molasses and extremely limited. We have no idea where he is actually at as an elite fighter. Cotto is not a fast fighter
Guererro and maidana are maybe the slowest fighters in boxing next to Angulo and Rios. Canelo cant even make 154 anymore..he lost his soul in the sauna trying to make 152.
Pacquiao from last night isnt the guy at WW we saw from 2008-2010, but still dominated a top 5 P4P fighter. 35yr old pac isn't prime..but we know exactly where he is as a fighter.
The best indication of where I think floyd is at now is from the Cotto fight, the last serious fighter floyd has faced. Cotto that night wasn't the destoryer he was at 147...he was fatter, slower, and battle worn (and style wise was perfect for Floyd). But he had enough speed and skills to make floyd miss a lot of punches (check out the compubox) and tagged floyd enough times to bruise and bloody him.
Pacquiao is a lot more dangerous then that version of cotto. That missile straight left is a problem. The styles contrast beautifully and neither has fought anyone like the other.
2009-2010 Pacquiao destroys him..today's Pac will win by decision.
Only by KO or TKO everyone knows that if Manny doesn't do one of those things Floyd is going to win because as you saw in a past fight VS Victor Ortiz, he sucker punched him and the referee never started the fight but was still given the KO most likely Mayweather must have payed the referee to rig the fight
No, I do not believe there was ever a time in either Floyd or Manny's careers that Manny had any real chance of beating Floyd. I don't think it would matter where or when they fought, Floyd would have won convincingly.
The fight wont happen but mayweather would win 8 rounds to 4 with accurate punching, and im a huge fan of both and dont know why fans need to be split. Appreciate both boxers
Here we go again.... Floyd dodged a robbery missile in his last fight on showtime lol the fight isn't going to happen anyway. I gave up hope after it failed to happen for May 5th 2012.
Floyd will not fight a fighter with both speed and power. Coward move.
Even on HBO he'd lose. He just isnt the same. Marquez really did take alot from him.
Its either;
A. Showtime would tell Pac to take a dive or no fight
B. Use floppy gloves.lol
Jacob is cumeating punk
Seems like if this fight went down on Showtime there would be no chance of Manny being given a decision even if he won 9 rounds.
