It wont be a war, but Manny doesnt take no for an answer. If Floyd lets Manny crowd him like Hatton did then Floyds going to get hit.

You have to remember, Pac is not a one punch knock out guy. He is death by a thousand blows. May should be able to handle him.

He knocked Hatton out cold with one shot. Pacquiao has tremendous speed with dynamite in his fists. Pac is very athletic and has very good footwork and he takes a good shot. Plus he's a lefty who's style is kind of awkward as he's able to throw punches at crazy different angles. If Pac can hurt PBF early and make him really feel his punches, I can see this fight going Pacs way with his usual domination. Pacman can get in with big shots and out with that good footwork, but he will have to watch the counters as he's hittable coming in with that head. IMO if PBF can avoid the big shots and the punches he doesnt see he will be able to be his normal self. There is noway PBF can win this fight without it not being exciting. He will have to take some chances sometime. PBF is nothing like Pac has fought before as he's a defensive minded wizard with speed. PBF can win this fight with that style. I see this fight being a aggressive chess match instead of a war until someone gets stopped. I'll take Pac by way of.

Yeah! People don't realize that Floyd positions his head on angles which his opponents are not comfortable punching. But against Pacquiao, there's no such angle. Floyd's gonna have to fight this time. Or run.

Pacquiao, at the very least, wins SD. I take him by KO4.

Floyd tried a war against Castillo the first time. And to the eyes of many, he lost. He doesn't like to get hit and won't engage. He will win in a fight just a little more competitive than Mayweather-Marquez, but the result will be the same. Floyd by boring and safety-first UD around 117-111 and 116-112. (twice) Never in my life would I like to be more wrong and see Floyd KTFO, or even lose. (Almost even if he gets robbed because I hate him so much.)

I can't get away from the size difference, and could see them hush hush over the weight and Floyd actually coming in around 150lb so he gets a natural weight advantage. Poor Manny is gonna look like a midget in there. A powerful midget, but Floyd will make sure he has too much of a weight advantage so that Manny's punches, while they might be effective in spots, but won't seriously hurt him. And Floyd has feasted seven years of his boxing life fighting smaller guys, so barring a war and maybe a 40% chance of Manny beating Floyd by keeping the fight on the inside, Floyd won't let that happen.

Floyd asking for a 154-lb fight when he weighed in at 146 last time around. LOL!

[D-MARV]

ESPN repoted that Floyd agreed to 147. So that Myth has been DEBUNKED!

Floyd suppossed asking of a 154lbs limit was probably his way of getting a few more million. But he's probably serious about the 10oz. gloves though.

I haven't seen Mayweather run against too many southpaws before. When he fought Corley, Mitchell and Judah he fought in the poclet coming foward. He might switch tactics and use more mobility against Pacquiao depending on what he sees in there. Honestly, the only way I see Mayweather running is for preservation. In other words if he is hurt coming in and realizes he cannot pressure Pacquiao like he did with other southpaws.

One of the reasons I give Pacquiao a shot here is not only because of his incredible handspeed and power, as well as his improved defense and will to win but also because he's become a hell of a counterpuncher. If Mayweather comes in guns blazing he could get caught. Then again, if he fights more defensively it gives Pacquiao the chance to throw flashy flurries that don't land but impress the judges.

First, I seriously doubt this fight comes anywhere close to living up to the hype. I really don't think there will be much excitement in it at all. You have one guy coming to fight and thats about it.

Second, as much as I like Pac (and that's because he brings it every fight) he can be outboxed fairly easily by an accomplished boxer. Aside from PBF being an obnoxious, self centered, jerk. He is one of the most gifted boxers the sport has seen in the last 20 years or so. I believe Floyd will outpoint Pac fairly easy in this fight and then cry at the end when they announce him the winner.

Footnote: He will most likely talk about how no one believed in him in this fight and he is the greatest fighter ever and this fight proves it. Not necessarily in those words but you get the idea.
