So lets get this out of the way, I know "Boxing Math" (A>B, B>C, so therefore A<C) is a rediculous and faulty way to predict a fight. I know that even though Floyd looked better against JMM than Pac did, Pac looked better against DLH and Hatton than Floyd did. That's not my point at all.
But styles make fights, and we've seen JMM 3 TIMES give Pacquiao absolute fits with his comparable speed and superior boxing IQ (for the record I believe Pac deserved the nod in the 2nd fight, but I feel JMM clearly won fight 1 and 3).
With all due respect to JMM, who after this fight I believe has a STRONG case for best Mexican fighter of all time, Floyd not only has the same attributes that JMM used to befuddle Pac 3 times, he is by far SUPERIOR in each of those catagories. Floyd is bigger and faster, has better defense, has a higher boxing IQ, shows an uncanny ability to adjust and adapt to an opponent as the rounds go on, ect (and for those who say Floyd has no heart or chin, you don't know what you're talking about).
So after watching Pac made to look silly by JMM once again, how many of you can say, with confidence, that you still pick Pac to beat Floyd, who is essentially a bigger, faster, more skilled version of JMM?
