    Will Mayweather take it and keep going or will he go into a shell?

    Will we get Durran vs SRL 1 or 2?

    Floyd's Chin is STOUT Enough to Withstand SINGLE Shots Here & There...He DOESN'T have the Fragile Chin of a Roger Mayweather...A BETTER Question is, Can Pac LAND FLUSH on Floyd???...Let's B Honest, Floyd IS NOT Going to Fight like the Bigger Man, he's NOT Gonna IMPOSE Himself on Pac or even Attempt to Do So...There's a 0% Chance of Pac LURING or FORCING Floyd into a Toe to Toe Exchange, ala Duran-Leonard I....Floyd's Gonna B MOBILE, Probably Circling AWAY from Pac's Left Hand, Jabbing All the While....It'll Look MUCH More like Duran-Leonard II, Minus the Showboating & Quitjob...

    This Bout will Test Pac's PATIENCE & PRECISION...The SAFE Pick is "Floyd by Decision"...

    Of course Floyd is going to fight how you say, he won't even be as aggressive as he was against say, Hatton.

    But can Pac land Flush? Of course. He's got the fastest hands in boxing, excellent timing and accuracy, but more over, his punches are odd, they are not textbook like Floyd's, they come from strange angles and ranges.

    If Judah and Corley can land clean, so can Pacman.

    I wonder how well Floyd does take single shots from Pacman.

    Pac's undoing will be his legs positioning, which is horrible. When Pac stands to punch, floyd will be already out of range, and ready to dish out the counter. He may land once or twice on floyd, but not enough to do substantial damage. I haven't seen nobody who can solve mayweather's shoulder roll defense, not even world class pure boxers like Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Floyd was ALOT more Flat-Footed & OFFENSIVE Minded N the Judah & Corley Fights than REED Thinks he'll B Against Pac...The Corley Fight was As Close to a BRAWL As U'll EVER See Floyd Mayweather Engaged in & Floyd Actually PURSUED Judah During that Bout...

    Floyd is gonna do a number on Manny. I picked Manny to destroy both Hatton and Cotto, but I'm picking him to lose here.

    Judad and Corley landed a few but who won those fights? Neither was able to land consistently, and i have strong doubts Manny will be able to either.

    Stylewise i just have to favor Floyd. It's not that i think Pacquiao has no chance, i just believe Mayweather wins a decision.

    I honestly think Pac is gonna FORCE a pretty exciting fight here. I think he's too fast and unorthodox for Floyd to totally nullify and that he's gonna get through enough that Floyd will be forced to open up a little to match his successes on equal terms

    Unfortunately I think Floyd is gonna end the argument within the distance by timing Pac with something big.

    FLoyd is not a KO puncher but he does have some Pop to his shots as they are so Sharp and accurate,

    Pac has never been in with someone as good as floyd and I think he is really really gonna get battered

    Pac and Marquez was a toss up really where as Floyd DOMINATED the smaller man

    That's because neither one of them is in Pacman's league, or even close.

    Pacman is going to be able to land more consistently than either of them. Judah was actually winning the fight after 6 rounds, before he folded mentally as per usual and Floyd took over.

    Don't get me wrong, I know there is a high possibility of Floyd winning a safety first decision, as even though Manny is faster, Floyd is still very hard to hit - but I am picking Pacquiao.

    I just think his speed, southpaw stance, power, unpredictability and activity beats Floyd.

    A KO would be nice, but I am picking Manny by decision.

    Right, and Floyd and Oscar was a toss up, but Pacman DOMINATED the bigger man.

    Hut, are you mad? Did you not see Pacman walking through Cotto's shots like they were nothing?

    I think Floyd's power is slightly underrated, but Cotto hits harder for sure, he has significantly heavier hands than Floyd.

    The speed and crispness of Floyd's shots no doubt sting Pacman once or twice, but KO him? Nah, Pacman has an absolutely solid chin, even at 147.

    Pac fought Marquez at 126 & 130. Floyds win at welterweight is wholly IRRELEVANT

    Power aint the thing in this case, it's precision, timing and landing something Pac doesn't see as he gets wild. I definitely think Floyd will hurt Pac bad at least once.

    JMM did not have the power that pac has and could not really put up a fight. Different fight.

    Check Floyds chin?

    Forget that.

    What happens when he checks FLOYDS BODY?

    This is the hope we have for the fight. Hatton kind of did this, but Floyd was winning the whole fight and got the KO.

    He threw some nice body shots on Cotto. I think that Pac is going to go to Floyds body more than anything else at least for the first 7 rounds, but throwing punches low leaves his head open.

    If it was ALL about precision and timing, Floyd would have a higher KO % than he does. He hits guys flush plenty of times, including Marquez, but he doesn't KO many of them.

    I have no reason to think he's going to KO pacman either.

    It's true that the punch you don't see coming hurts you etc, and of course crisp, fast punches, but you have to have some natural power in those punches too.

    I would be very, very surprised if Floyd KO'd Pacman. I could see him buzzing pacman once or twice, but not a KO.

    I'm talking about solving the shoulder roll defense. It's not a matter of power, it's a matter of boxing IQ.

    JMM could not hurt Floyd, so Floyd could fire at will and stop JMM for throwing punches. That is why the power became an issue. Floyd had not fear of being hit. He will have fear of Pacs power and unlike Sr. said he will have to watch out for both the left AND the Right!!! Pac is not one handed anymore AS sR. sAID.

    Mayweather thinks Pac has a soft body and I know Mayweather can KO someone with bodyshots. Ask Gatti. If it's a KO for Mayweather that is how it's going to happen.

    I just think Pac is gonna draw Floyd into a fight get overexcited and wild and hit with something he doesn't see.

    Its just how I see it in my mind. Something just tells me Floyd has that extra something in reserve that he's gonna pull out when Pac forces him to.

    I can't see little Floyd KOing the Pacman, simple because he will not take any risks in the fight. We could be in for a boring jab and move night of boxing unless Manny can make Floyd fight his fight. If that happens we are in for one exciting fight!!

    This will be an easy fight for Floyd. Great straight right plus incredible defence and reflexes.

    Might Pacman get hit with something he doesn't see? Of course. Is it gonna KO him? Fuck no, there's really no logical reason to think he would get KO'd. When was the last time Pacman was even knocked down? About 10 years ago.

    Floyd couldn't even come close to stopping Marquez, he's not stopping Pacman.

    You're making Pacquiao sound wilder than he is too. He is much more intelligent and disciplined these days. He only gets wild when he has someone hurt (like Hatton), or when he can see someone is a beaten man (like Cotto).

    He won't get wreckless against Floyd, he'll be aggressive, but intelligently, with movement, feints, etc.
