Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Hype job]

Pacquiao should come in lighter like he did vs Algieri, Cotto and ODLH, he performs best when his fight night weight is 147-148, those 2 pounds extra make him look soft and slower.

definitely not true, pacquiao is well passed prime, his head movement and footwork has slowed, he's lazier with everything, he has lost his right hook again

pacquiao has lost more advantages than floyd, floyd actually stands a better chance now because of not only what i said, but because he's now more defensive, as seen vs maidana he'll resort to not even punches, just arm flailing as scoring blows

I thought he was more intelligent and cautious fighter now after Marquez? All of a sudden, the fight is imminent and he looks washed up, with no head movement? I will tell you what, most of you people of no shame, or just don't know what you're talking about, so you guys end up talking in circles.

True, Manny has slowed down a bit. Also, Floyd took less damage due to excessive running in the ring. Floyd is smart now is the perfect time to take advantage and fight the slower and battle worn Pacquiao.

This is all we're gonna hear from Floyd haters if he wins.

You guys realize a man who lifts weights can COMPLETELY change his physique in 6 months if he seriously trains... I mean, he can go from nothing to having a solid bodybuilder physique... So you think an ELITE athlete can't pack on muscle gradually and move up in weight? C'mon guys

If you think you can go from "nothing" to a "solid bodybuilder physique" in 6 months, you have no idea what you're talking about my friend. Those physiques takes years of muscle maturity and is definitely not something achieved in 6 months.

Cutting or losing weight is different. If you're already fat, you can transform your physique in 6 months by losing a lot of weight coupled with some nice newbie gains. However that shouldn't be conflated with muscle building in that same time frame.

Cutting or losing weight is a different story, but it's not even comparable to building lean muscle mass in the same time frame.

ELITE he said..

So what is your stand about Pacquiao jumping weigths?

You think Floyd's footwork and reflexes haven't slowed? He gets hit with WAY more punches these days, than he did several years ago.

Pacquiao is still beating up everyone that he fights. He was on his way to stopping Marquez until he got caught. He beat up Bradley (again).

I'm still as interested in this fight as ever. Maybe more, because what I felt like wasn't a realistic shot a few years ago, I think may be possible now.

The thing that hasn't changed, is that Floyd is smarter than Manny in the ring. He can make the adjustments that Manny can't. I think that's what really sets him apart.
