I chose to omit disqualifications. In order:
1. Mayweather by decision
2. Mayweather by knockout
3. Pacquaio by knockout
4. Draw
5. Pacquaio by decision
It may look contradictory, but I think Pac has a shot at catching Floyd early as Floyd will still be in his "adjusting" mode like he usually does.
i am in agreement with your order.
I think Pac is more likely to get a decision than a KO.
I agree that Psc's KOs come against fighters with a 'come forward' style or when he's juiced to the gills or both.
Since Mayweather is not going to walk himself face first into Manny's fists and assuming the drug testing prohibits Manny's habit of PED use, then I rate Pac by decision higher than Pac by KO.
1. Mayweather by decision
2. Pacquiao by decision
3. Pacquiao by ko
4. Mayweather by ko
5. Draw
Option 1 is much more likely than any of the other options. I would be very surprised if there was any other outcome than the first 2.
1. Mayweather decision - By far the most likely outcome IMO.
2. Mayweather stoppage - Not a full on KO but maybe a late TKO or corner stoppage.
3. Pacquiao Decision - Most likely controversial if he gets a decision.
4. Draw - Which will most likely be controversial like all draws are and would lead to an even bigger and richer 2nd fight.
5. Pacquiao KO/TKO - Least likely due to Mayweathers defence, chin and ability to recover which is evident from all the other times he's been hurt.
1. Mayweather by decision
2. Pacquaio by decision
3. Draw
4. Mayweather by knockout
5. Pacquaio by knockout

I also don't see Pac knocking out Floyd. Floyd's never been in any serious trouble to speak of, and Manny's recent non-KO record pretty much speaks for itself. Manny's not gonna put himself at risk of getting planked... and Floyd's too cunning to engage in slugfests where Manny might catch him.
Fenster is the man! I agree, too.
1. Mayweather by decision
2. Draw - because they do not want to see Floyd lose
3. Pacquaio by knockout - only way he will win
4. Pacquaio by decision
5. Mayweather by knockout - as he has never stopped anyone for years
1) Pac Decision
2) May Decision
3) Draw
4) Pac KO
5) May KO
1. Pac by KO ( Mayweather's face unrecognizable)
2. Pac by Decision (Mayweather with bloody face)
3. Mayweather by Decision ( by way of robbery)
4. Draw
5. Mayweather by KO (he is juiced up by Ariza)
:cool:
My 5 most likely are
1. Floyd UD takes at least 9 rounds
2. Floyd UD takes at least 10 rounds
3. Floyd UD takes at least 11 rounds
4. Floyd UD shutout
5. Floyd wins by KO
Too Much Money Involved Here
Look for some kind of controversy to set up a rematch.
Most likely scenario, is for Manny to come out fast and to dominate the first 2 Rounds.
Rounds 3 and 4 will be fought on 'even' grounds.
Floyd will then go to boxing-and-countering in Round 5, to make a mid-bout charge by
using the better skills and ring generalship to take a points after Round 9.
Floyd will be up by 1-Point after 9-Rounds {4-3-2 in Rounds}
Round 10, will be the 'Round-of-the-Year' in a back and forth slugfest.
Rounds 11 and 12, Manny will be the aggressor and chasing trying for a Knockout,
while Floyd will box, move, counter and hold until the Final Bell.
Floyd Mayweather will win a Majority Decision.
Good list but the only adjustment I would make is putting Pac by KO at 4 and moving Draw up to 3, because I think there's more of a chance the judges fuck it up on Floyd (ala DLH, Canelo, Maidana) after he boxes masterfully than Pac KOing him, when he couldn't even finish Chris Algieri and hasn't knocked anyone out in half a decade.Quote:

blind refs allow floyd to hug and run, corrupt judges will see floyds running as a work of art and give him the nod in a match that has everyone pissed off at the results....
MANNY CAN ONLY WIN THIS BY KO!!!! especially in vegas....sad but true.
