floyd will be the favourite because of his size and stye advantage but you can never count out the pacman. We all know pac can up his game a few levels and he has the tools to beat floyd if he fights smartly.
Manny Pacquiao is a good fighter but I feel as though he is overrated and people are falling into the HYPE the media surrounds him with. Not to take anything away from him but his career has been crafted to make him into a super star these last few years. Fighting Oscar, Hatton, Cotto & Clottey didnt prove much to me. Oscar at his age could not perform at 147 so that was a give me fight. Hatton had suffered a ko against floyd and in his return bout was staggered in the 10th round only to escape with a victory to be ko in his next fight. Cotto was damaged after the margarito fight and hasnt been the same since. He wasnt the same against jennings, clottey, pac, or foreman. Cotto needs to RETIRE ASAP. And clottey? Well we wont even talk about that character.
All im saying is people are blowing this fight up the way FLoyd would want you to. He's been in this hot seat numerous times and one other time that was similar was against Hatton. After Hatton stopped Castilo with a body shot he said "These 4 rounds had more excitment then Floyds whole career". People bought into it, the hype was crazy, I was considered a ***** then as well as now.
At the end of the day Floyd is just to technical & Manny makes too many mistakes that Floyd will capitalize on. The fight will be a shut out victory for Floyd. You might not like his style but u have to respect it.
Cotto and Hatton were good wins you can only fight what is put infront of you, ODH and Clottey were very suspect fights that didn't prove much, this a guy that fought barrera, morales 3 times and Marquez twice Definetley not overated.
He still won't beat floyd the catchweights and draining people like cotto do piss me off but i don't think pacqiao is big enough to be a legit welter and money talks so you do what you have to get the good fights and not lose the advantage which is what he done with Oscar and Cotto.
I agree though that Floyd will shut him out after hes figured him out after two rounds.
