I can't see how Manny could get off against Floyd

[Pacquiao'd]

I think it's pretty possible Floyd stops him, tbh...

yeah, i think he will. manny is too easy to hit, too flawed and I dont think Roach will allow manny to take too much punishment once floyd has his number. Floyd is going to fight with alot of venom when he gets in the ring with Pac.

Mannys face its going to look like he got hit with a bag of quarters. Cuts, bruising, eyes closing from LOTS of swelling...

So this is how it's going to end, another fantasy fight.

He isn't dumb he raises valid points. If Manny could hardly land a flush shot on Clottey who just stood there for 90% of the fight, hows he going to hit Floyd?
If he could barely hit a 40yr old defensive Mosley who had a blister spanning half his foot, hows he going to hit Floyd?

The guy hasn't a good jab, he don't use no feints except for occasionally when he throws that rather predictable straight left. He's got a height & reach disadvantage. How the hell is this guy going to get in range to unleash his combos?

While that MAY be a valid observation, how about ORTIZ being able to hit Mayweather, then how much more with an über-active, multi-angled, multi-barrage combinations, and nimble footwork in Pacquiao?

I think that more than ever, Floyd is relatively more hittable these days and we all can see that. I can still see Floyd frustrating Pacquiao in the middle of the ring with his deft, timing and his right hand...but when pressed in a corner or by the ropes, Pacquiao can at least HIT ONE BIG ONE that can open the floodgates.

Definitely, Maweather was seeing Ortiz's shots before Ortiz had decided to throw them... but he still got hit
Pac might not be unpredictable with feints etc but he is with the punches he throws.

26 landed punches in 4 rounds???2 flush shots at the most???

[Pacquiao'd]

I don't think its just the power, I've never seen fighters so affected by taking shots than against Pacquiao
Marquez took the shots and didn't fall behind, but that's because its Marquez and its what he does... Floyd would get hit clean more often than he ever has IMO, and it would be interesting to see how he'd react and win back the rounds
I'd still favour Floyd, Mosley showed you can stay away from Mannys power... I'd just like to see how Floyd would get it done.

i disagree. ii think its "easier" to hit floyd when you are more illusive with your shots, SINGLE and DOUBLE shots, than the combos manny throws.

will floyd get hit? YES. but i think manny will be less successful at hitting floyd than even Mosley since mannys shots are more predictable.

So you think Floyd doesn't take a flush shot from Pacquiao?

[HAVISJ]

if floyd's pass opponents can land on floyd what makes u guys think manny wont be able to? floyd's pass opponents got destroyed by manny.

Man you need to look at the punch stats. None of them landed many shots at all. Victor only landed 26 shots in 4 rounds. Stop listening to the commentators(Jim Lampley) and watch for yourself.

so i guess manny is not on steriods anymore then right? LOL.. the once accused ped user because he was to fast to strong knocking out bigger guys, now he's to easy to hit to much flaws easy win. HAHA..

[bojangles1987]

Obviously Pacquiao's workrate would lower, but he would still get off plenty of shots. I'm not worried about him being able to throw.
