Mayweather/Pac - My Mind Has Been Changed

[DC Fight Fan]

I am a huge Pacquiao fan and had always thought he could beat Mayweather but after watching Mayweather/Marquez I believe Floyd would dismantle Pac. That doesn't mean that I think Floyd is a better "P4P" fighter. It means that Floyd is a bigger and stronger fighter than Pac. The way Floyd used his height and leverage on defense against JMM was unstoppable. Floyd straightened out to his tallest height and raised his shoulder as he leaned back making it impossible for the shorter guy to hit him cleanly. That defense would give Pac the same trouble it gave JMM. I still think P4P wise and entertainment value wise that Pac is the better fighter, the bigger draw, etc... I just don't think he stacks up well against Floyd. Mosely is a different story though. Mosely/Mayweather would be one for the history books.

what i see in the fight is marquez is bad at 144, he didnt carry the speed and power at the weight.

i know money had a reach over jmm, but isn't h the same hight?

i now think floyd would put manny away. i'm not just saying that, because i'm a netural fan of them both. but to say floyd has been out nealry 2 years and to put in a performance like that, is increadible. the way he rolled jmm, covered up and counter punched jmm , was a joy to watch. manny is too open to getting tagged and floyd would do that throughout the fight. i can only see ssm even getting close to floyd and i think that this has to be their next fight.


watched the fight live but turned off as he was being interview, so missed ssm and bhop trash talking...piss funny.


p.s if i'd have know floyd was that good, i'd have saved my money and not flown to vegas to see hatton fight him, the outcome was inevitable.

Yeah, I used to think Pac had a good chance at beating Mayweather. After I watched the fight Saturday though, I changed my mind. I really don't think Pac has much of a chance...Floyd is just too damn good at every aspect of the game. I would rather see Floyd vs. Mosley now though...

[StillUnknown]

i dont see how anyone will be able to hit him clean enough to win enough rounds to get a decision.

the person to beat floyd is going to have to have 1 shot kill power and be able to keep their composure and not get frustrated by floyd's defense
