The Logic Behind a Pacquiao win...makes no sense

Calzaghe/Hopkins. The workrate and speed should be enough to outwork the older cagier spoil minded guy.

You think Floyd is a spoiler?!?!

Okay, now for a boxing IQ test. What is the difference between Marquez and Floyd? I'm bringing up this issue as many fans and even experts are using Floyd's beating of Marquez as sort of a gauge to predict the outcome of the fight. If you can answer this, you'll know why Manny can beat Floyd. This is a very crucial difference or issue that I'm counting on for Manny to beat Floyd. Anyone up to the challenge?
There's logic lurking somewhere under the intangibles of boxing that only the people who really knows the sport can find or see. Think about it.

I dont ever agree with the if A beat B and B beat C than that means A can beat C. But the "difference" you're talking about I dont know, they have a ton of differences. I just think overall mayweather is a much better fighter than marquez, and manny always struggles with people who can move. I keep saying it and i stand by it, this fight wont be close. But please do impart your wisdom on us.

Thanks @Boxer4life, and I do respect your opinion, it's pretty reasonable.
Well the big difference is that Marquez can hurt Manny, but can Floyd? I think not. You see, the reason Manny had difficulty with Marquez was that he wasn't able do what he wanted offensively because every time Manny came in, he was made to pay dearly for it (you can see Manny's busted face after every fight with Marquez). That limited his offense which was the key to all his victory. So if Manny can take Floyd's punch, which I think he can, he will be coming in and in and it will be just a matter of time that Floyd will be caught by his big shots and I believe when that happens, like all other opponents of Manny, Floyd will either be KO/TKO'd or will be forced to backtrack the rest of the fight, just like what Mosley, Cotto and others did. And I've seen nobody who backtracks win. This is what I'm expecting Saturday and we shall see...

I agree with you Pacfan. I think Mayweather also knew about that fact that is why his camp was bent on psyching Pac that Mayweather could knock him out. They knew that Pac would blitz on Mayweather and hurt Mayweather badly in the process. They wanted Pac and his camp to think that Mayweather can knock Pac out, which I do not see happening.


I am so excited to test my hypothesis in this fight. Analyzing and considering all the intangibles, Pac's going to knock Mayweather, who would be surprised to learn during the fight how strong and how fast Pac is. Hence, my fearless prediction: Pac by TKO.

Hopkins beat Calzaghe clearly
