    Mayweather lost the early rounds to Judah's speed...and was even floored
    if anyone gets an early KO it'd be Manny



    i'd pick Mayweather to win a decision...seeing Pac schooled by Morales and JMM makes this the most logical pick

    I disagree and I'm going to explain why I think Jr will have his hands full (including if this fight is @140.


    I re-watched both fights with Jr vs Judah and Corley ( Both southpawls). In both fights Mayweather Jr was caught and either stunned for Knocked Down (Yes Judah put him on his ass). I think it's a very interesting fight if they meet. At this point I will favor Pacman if the fight is made below 147.

    easy fight for floyd actually

    Manny is fast and can hit but his boxing skill is very basic and floyd is a true master

    That was my first thought as well but if you look at his fights with Corley and Judah you can see they had there moments even though PBF eventually dominated.

    FLoyd will win this fight

    in all honesty, I am not concerned at all on this one


    Floyd is fast.. faster than Manny..

    Manny is somewhat basic, just fast and hits hard

    but Floyd is on another level of skill AND speed

    it's one thing to unload fast punches in an almost wild way

    Floyd's speed is different. he SEES things.. times them, he is very skillful

    on top of it... he has GREAT defense

    Hatton for all their talk about Manny not moving his head.. HATTON is not very good defensivly. Floyd will not get caught with clean shots like HAtton did

    he protects himself VERY well.. plus he is bigger, stronger and faster IMO

    Wrong again. Watch their respective fights against Oscar and Floyd.

    Manny is clearly faster. Judah was faster than Floyd, and Manny is even faster than Judah.

    As a PBF fan I have to be honest not only with myself by with all of my fightbeat members. See people are talking about Pac as if he were the same fighter as he was when he fought Morales, MAB hell even Marquez. Manny has proven that he is a real student of the game by learning and perfecting his craft. Back in the day all Pac was, was a jab jab straight left. That is not the case anymore as we have have seen in his past couple of fights. The dude has added hella to gameplan and that has to be taken into consideration. Not only has the dude gotten faster in my eyes but his power has increased. Right now this is not a blowout for PBF. Hell if I had to favor a blowout a KO it would be Pacman koing PBF. That's right now. Now I will say this PBF is prolly the smartest most skilled fighter that Manny has ever fought. PBF will make this a boxing match and can win a stinker. Not to mention the retirement has got to hurt. With all this being said I have favor Manny Pac to be the favorite.

    By the way who said that Boxing is dead! This shit is hella exciting. I'll Holla 5000

    Manny is no longer a basic fighter. We have the best offensive fighter vs the best defensive fight here. Before this last fight I would have said the same thing about Mayweather be easy UD, but after last night I don't think it's such an easy pick.. Yes, Mayweather is still the favorite, but what we saw last night was scary.

    I said boxing is dying after Vlads last fight, but I said if it was not for Pac it would already be dead.

    To see how the layoff effected Floyd. Not to mention hes not 100% sure to beat Marquez. You idiots that think this fight is a tune up will find out that its not.

    For him to say Manny is a basic fighter, I honestly don't think he's seen a Pacman fight for years.

    Floyd won't beat Marquez easily, Marquez is too crafty and too good for that, and it's not like Floyd has the power to blast him out of there - but Floyd wins the fight and you know it.

    Marquez doesn't really have the style to beat Floyd, and is smaller.
