Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

Yeah but Floyd can change the fight with one punch. Pacquiao has been knocked out 3 times in his career. Floyd will find him with a counter and zap his lights.

Floyd has all the power of Chris Algieri, or at best Tim Bradley, neither put a dent in Pacquiao.

Mayweather has more power than Marquez.

Not this Marquez, this version knocked Alvarado across and out of the ring.

What you've forgotten is Pac is a southpaw. Floyd's shoulder roll won't work.

Hence, his only option is to fight in a orthodox boxing stance. That alone tells me Pac has him in the bag.

What you guys fail to see is that, Floyd is his best when he using his complete defensive arsenal. The thing is he can't rely on his shoulder roll against Pac, hence, Pac's busy nature will push Floyd to the ropes. And Pac will finish him.

Without Floyd's shoulder roll, he becomes incomplete, hence Floyd's hesitation in fighting Pac for 7 years now.

Without his shoulder roll, Floyd becomes an ordinary fighter.

Words simply fail me.

I believe there is a post here with pics of foods opponents after the fights...compared with pics of PAC opponents after his fights...pretty much shut down the power argument in its tracks...either Floyd has no power, at least not enough to do damage or he isn't hitting anyone...take your pick

He hits harder than both of those.

Floyd fans saying what are you going to do if floyd beats him? um what are you going to do if pac beats him is the better question. Talking a bunch of crap about how easily floyd will outbox him, and will have no excuses and will just have to look in boxingscene the day after like this

Hilarious clip.

I think both fans will be like that when one of them lose.

Marquez has said in multiple interviews that Manny hits harder than Floyd...nuff said

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.

Roughly the same, you might give a slight edge to Mayweather but its not significant imo particularly at this stage of his career with all his hand problems, and I think Rios clearly hits harder too.

Marquez who was hit repeatedly by both states otherwise..that's good enough for me...
