Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Weebler I]

But then on the flipside, Floyd is heaps and bounds better than anyone Pacquaio has fought in general

So it works both ways.

Floyd wasn't even leaps and bounds better than Maidana, or Cotto for that matter.

I see a lot of posters ASSUMING Mayweather will stand in front of Pacquiao allowing himself to get pushed on the ropes.

As much as I hate to say it, Mayweather will be on his bicycle all night. I see a couple of exchanges working in favor of Pacquiao, and I think he might win the first half of the fight. But I think the constant body jabs and check hooks (which seem to work against guys who like to come forward) will make Pacquiao hesitate just enough to slow down. We all know when fighters hesistate against Mayweather, he takes control.

After the first half of the fight, I see Mayweather taking control by pivoting and countering Pac as he trys to step in. Pac will still get some shots in, but I think by the end they will be too few and too far apart. Solid decision for Mayweather.

But who knows.

so pacquiao is just another "come forward" fighter??? [IMG]//media.*****.com/media/ehPjBIO0zk8QU/*****.gif[/IMG]

What does that have to do with anything?

Styles make fights.

Pacquaio wasn't better than Agapito Sanchez when they fought, he wasn't leaps and bounds better than Marquez in any of their fights.

Still doesn't change the fact he will be he best fighter Floyd will have faced.

Just like Floyd will be the best fighter Pacquaio will have faced.

62.5% ko ratio JMM > 55.32% ko ratio floyd

unless you are that same guy that said 61% > 67% or something like that

Bryant Jennings has a 52% KO rate. JMM must have more power than him too.

Cotto round 12?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA when did cotto get dropped by floyd? Yea that uppercut was nice, stunned him for a second... but thats it.

If only Floyd had weight drained Cotto... but Floyd fought Cotto at his healthy weight. Cotto went on to win the lineal MW championship afterwards so it's clear he had to cut off both arms and one leg to make 145 for the Pacquiao fight.

Check the threads. BPP posted a thread where Manny confirmed he didn't sign contract. Floyd is telling the truth and apparently has been all along. Who would ever think Floyd is who we go to for the truth.

Well since Manny backed this up and said he is confident May 2nd will happen, I feel better that we will get the fight.

You cant be serious.

Styles makes fights. That shoulder roll is a sitting duck for that straight left hand from a soutpaw.

No, Floyd barely uses the shoulder roll vs southpaws.

[jcpryor]

Is Pacquiao a coward too since he said he didn't sign a contract?
