No offence to thread starter but this thread is stupid.
Pacquiao obviously has the advantage in a brawling fight.
Making a thread on it is pointless when you already really know the answer.

Because knocking someone out when they are not looking and have their hands down means you have knock out power? ... I agree this Thread is dumb, everyone here knows Pacquiao will spark Floyd in a toe to toe battle. Floyd was hurt by Mosley so we know Pacquiao can get him out. Plus just look at the last 10 seconds of De la Hoya vs Mayweather.. Floyd was in control but when he went toe to toe those last 10 secs he got owned by Oscar.

Floyd going toe to toe with Pacquiao would take his defence sorta out of the equation.
I mean if Floyd's being aggressive and throwing, he's not defending which gives Pacquiao openings and Pacquiao always takes advantage of fighters who are aggressive.
Pacquiao's power is far more likely to hurt Floyd than the other way round also.
An aggressive Floyd works in favor of Pacquiao imo.
Floyd's best bet against Pacquiao is to box him. Pacquiao has always had difficulty with counter punchers and Mayweather is the best in the sport at it.
I think Floyd would knock Manny out in a toe to toe battle. At this point in their career's Floyds taken less damage so he could probably take more damage than Manny could who has taken alot of shots. Than theres also the fact that he is bigger and I suspect he has more power in his shots than Manny does. And lastly theres the fact that hes taller so he would have more leverage and Manny would lose power throwing upwards.
The key is Self-discipline.
Ninja-like check-hooks and almost pre-emptive, PAC-3 like, straight-rights.

Wow... Well you know Mosley happened last year, we can safely infer that Floyd is the same fighter as oppose to Manny being stopped in 96 and I believe 98 or 99 ... I mean I'm sure you would agree that that's def not the same Manny Pacquiao not even half the fighter he is now. But I'm not a Pacquiao fanboy, I actually would pick Floyd to win in a boxing match but to think Mayweather would slug and KO pac is quite funny. As far as Floyd being the bigger man, Pacquiao fought margarito and took his best shots so I doubt Floyds size would matter.
You don't think that had Mosley caught Manny flush he wouldn't be capable of rocking him too?
Floyd has never been seriously hurt in his entire career. His chin looks pretty solid to me, and he's well capable of standing in the pocket and trading with Manny.
Manny is a very small welterweight and will rely on his speed and angles to get in and out whilst not taking any big shots himself.
Having watched almost all of both fighter's careers I would definitely give Floyd an edge in power and chin at 147, although Manny has the edge in speed and ferocity.
I am rooting for Manny, but if that fight happens I expect Floyd to win.
I think Floyd was rocked hard by Corley at one point. Judah knocked him down and Cortez (yes, Joe Cortez) ruled it a slip. He was hit by Castillo too and got a bit dizzy for like 2 seconds. Mosley hit him too and was seriously hurt. Manny's punches is packed with power. If you will see the faces of those he faced before, you can say that there is really power behind ever punch he threw. Mosley said that pac's punches has an unbelievable snap, it comes from a short distance, but when it land, its like a punch coming from way back (like a full swing). You add to that power the angles he makes as he put those power-packed punches into combinations and boy Floyd can be hit once or twice in every 15 or 20 punches Pac threw i guess. Chin-wise, I guess Manny's chin is tried and tested. He was rocked several times by clean, unexpected punches in the face and body before. Margarito did game him a blow on the mid section and we can all notice the look in manny's face. It was a hard, solid blow by a man 17lbs heavier than him on fight night. I guess toe-to-toe Manny wins easy. But the question there is, will he be able to hit Floyd?
It makes me cringe how sycophantic some of these fighters fans are
There is no weighing up all possibilities, just just flat out bullshit. They are more fans of the fighter than of boxing and have blinkers on big time!
No way Mannys chin is better than Floyds! Marquez hurt Manny but came nowhere near putting a dent in Mayweather. Mosley is a bigger puncher than Manny, he stopped Margarito and Floyd came back to win the round he got caught by him in. As for saying, no blocking or dodging!? That is what it would take for Floyd to take a clean shot, litterally just standing still!
Even in a brawl, Floyd is too sharp and accurate
