heres why,
floyd got pretty fast reflexes, right? but pacs handspeed is tremendous, imagine everytime floyd throws a jab... I see two possible punches from pac, pac bobs to his right w/ a power lefthook or pac bobs to his left w/ a right straight to the body... and trust me, once pac felt it made impact, it will be a burst, flurries of 5-7 hard punches...and pac flurries is pretty accurate... not to mention pac can take floyds pillow punches (unless floyd hires heredia)...pac will keep on coming, so again we see floyd runnin all night... the game plan, the key to win this fight is footwork, whether pac trains hard to cut the ring and trap floyd or floyd outruns pac all night...
uh, I forgot the weightclass, cus floyd has a big advantage if they fight at 154
I think it would be a tactical fight and difficult to score for the first few rounds.... in the mid round Floyd starts to gain control landing hard right hands and Pacquiao seems puzzled but is always the agressor with occasional moments.
The last few rounds could be really crucial because Pacquiao will be throwing fast flurries to keep Floyd gunshy and many of them could miss.... but it gets the crowd excited and could convince the judges.
Mayweather dominates the punch stats in terms of percentage landed for and against but Pacquiao has a clear advantage in activity..... I think this would be a split decision either way. Strongly influenced by the crowd and whether the judges prefer Mayweather precision or Pacquiao's volume and eagerness.... Maybe similar to the Mayweather against De la Hoya.
I agree though i just want to see this too.... Floyd should strongly consider Pacquiao as his opponent for May 3rd. Ali vs Frazier 3 was still a great fight despite them being past their best.
Manny would continuously swarm him and get countered hard. This trend would dominate the first few rounds making it hard to choose who won the round because pacs shots are doing more damage but Floyd is landing more. Pacquiao starts to find his range in the later rounds and really starts picking Floyd apart. I think Manny's chin is better, his footwork is better, and his strength is better. That will make the difference. Either a late TKO for Pac or split decision.
Floyd by UD
It would be a great fight, and definitely live up to the hype. Pacquaio would bring the fight,and swarm Floyd giving him problems, but Floyd would score of his openings, and basically counter his way to a Decision.
It will be like Clottey fight considering that Floyd is still scared of Pac. Floyd will be so busy dodging, covering and shoulder rolling that he will forget to throw any punches because each time Floyd's gloves leave his face, Pac's left and right fists will be landing almost at will.
Pacquaio's only chance if it ever happens is to be domineering as he was against Oscar dela Hoya and land his punches from weird angles. Being a southpaw, Floyd may have a hard time adjusting as he usually does in the mid to to late rounds.
It'd be Pac chasing Mayweather swarming him and yes footwork battle. Mayweather would be on defense setting up counters.
Go on youtube and see cat vs snake videos.
It's gonna be another Leonard-Duran, the first fight that is.
I'd assume that Pacquiao would be chasing Mayweather around reaching for shots with Mayweather countering. It would be a battle of foot work and could depend on how many times Manny could catch Floyd on the ropes or get him in a corner.
I think Floyd would win a close decision but I just want to see it. I'm tired of this scared little b1tch ducking the best.
If you are the king of boxing then fight the pretenders to the throne!
