Rich, i always believe Pacquiao would be too hot for Floyd to handle. PAc is a wrong fight for Floyd. FMJ knew that. Here's my analysis:
First, Manny is a southpaw. zab who is a southpaw, gave Floyd his first knockdown, Cotto, Delahoya who are converted southpaws gave tough nights to Floyd. Miguel made Floyd's ears cauli flowers. Oscar i believe won the fight for real. No matter i how watch it
second, Manny had blistering handspeed. Never seen before by Floyd. Shane who had a good damn handspeed almost knock Floyd out, there's not a mere chance that Manny can also do it.
third,this is what Floyd said after Pacquiao whooped Cotto;
Floyd: Floyd cares about his family, Floyd cares about his health. We all know Cotto and then PAcquaio beats him like that??? There's no other fighter Floyd cared about in his entire career other than Manny. That's one BIG factor if ever they will square it off.
When Pacquiao fought Cotto, Mayweather was not retired.
second, there is no version of Pacquiao that has more than a punchers chance against Mayweather. It was the same Pacquiao who struggled to hit Clottey and was easily frustrated by his horrible defense. The same Pacquiao that failed to convincingly beat Marquez. The only good thing about Pacquiao then was that most of the world believed he was better. Then the world woke up from that sad dream. Pacquiao may be the best opponent for Mayweather , but he is not on his level.
floyds zero will b nomore...
for flomo defendors who will use the osdt to divert the issue...
you guys should know prior to the negotiation, both daddy and junior floyd was already accusing pac of peds... pac never tested positive, yet they treated him like a junkie or somethin... the mayweathers already turned everything bitter even before the nego started, they dictated the fight, they acted like the boss when pac was the p4p king during those times
so how do you put it, how you do business... do you slander 1st the person before you talk business to him?
to the gullibles, pac did agreed a few days after, but floyd, you shouldve known him by now... he changed his mind, yep he changed his demand. pac just cant agree at an instance, but again he did agreed.
huh! floydiots.... now back to the question, assessing that power pac displayed against cotto. I always believe floyd got questionable chin, and pacs hard volume punches comin from the south will b enuf to get that chin no matter how he burry it w/ his shoulder
Pac would beat floyd either by UD or KO...That pac version was a real monster...im telling that pac is the one floyd is very scared of fighting...
it is widely known that Pac was using PEDs for the Cotto fight. even still, Mayweather would have boxed circles around him and picked up a wide margin UD
My prediction will always be the same.
Floyd mayweather by UD.
Floyd retired after De la Hoya wanted a rematch (what a b*tch) then comes back after de la Hoya retires. Idk what floyd f*ggots saw but he looked like sh*t in that fight. But I'd give Pacquiao a good chance to win after cotto vs floyd.
Pacquiao would have destroyed him. I like mayweather but any all time great below middleweight would have struggled against that Pacquiao
Pacquiao defeated Cotto in Dec 2009. Later that month negotiations began between the Mayweather and Pacquiao camps, but Top Rank pulled out because they would not agree to blood testing. Here's a summary:
"In an interview late Tuesday with the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press, Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum told the newspaper that the fight is off."
"According to Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, Pacquiao refused Tuesday to agree to the Olympic-style drug testing procedures the sides had been negotiating.
Mayweather requested that the drug testing for the fight be in compliance with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which handles testing for Olympians, "to ensure fair play and sportsmanship by both fighters."
"We're going in a different direction," Arum told the Grand Rapids newspaper. "What I believe is that Floyd never really wanted the fight and this is just harassment of Pacquiao.
"We appeased Mayweather by agreeing to a urine analysis at any time, and blood testing before the press conference and after the fight. Mayweather pressed for blood testing even up to the weigh-in. He knew that Manny gets freaked out when his blood gets taken, and feels that it weakens him. "
"According to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who is negotiating the deal with Top Rank president Todd duBoef, Pacquiao refuses to have his blood drawn within 30 days of the bout based on his superstition of testing so close to a fight.
"Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn't want to do it so close to the fight," Schaefer said. "He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight." "
"Told of Pacquiao's reluctance to be tested, Mayweather said he should explain himself.
"I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken because, frankly, I don't know anyone who really does," Mayweather said in a statement. "But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night."I hope that this is either some miscommunication or that Manny will change his mind and step up and allow these tests, which were good enough for all these other great athletes, to be performed by USADA."
"Schaefer said he and duBoef had "worked out all other issues related to the fight," disclosing to ESPN.com that the fight would be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, if they can work out the drug testing issue.
"We have agreed on all terms, including the site," Schaefer said."
"In addition, Schaefer told ESPN.com that the sides had agreed on an unprecedented penalty if either fighter weighed in heavier than the contract limit of 147 pounds.
"We agreed to $10 million per pound, or fraction thereof," Schaefer said. "That's what the Pacquiao side wanted and we said OK to that. That's unheard of. We have agreed on everything except for this drug testing issue. "
Manny cheating *** drained cotto then used ped's he wasnt **** back then & he aint **** now
If Floyd didn't retire (like a fight ducking wh0re) and the fight of the century was made after Pacquiao's destruction of Miguel Cotto who would win?
