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

[fan johnny]

Hey guys, it's been a while and I probably have been forgotten at this point but this fight was worth a return to one of my favorite places.

I've been debating a lot regarding this fight and honestly the logic behind a pacqiou win confuses me. Here's the two things i've heard the most......

"Floyd Gets Koed"
welll my thinking is......
1. Floyd has never been down
2. Pacman couldn't put bradley down, a guy who has been down a few times in his career
3. And he hasn't gotten anyone out of there for a looonngg timmeee

So unless something is awfully off with Floyd i don't see this happening at all

The other things i hear is

"Pac will outwork mayweather"

1. Assuming he can just walk through Floyds punches, which so far none of his 47 opponents have been able to do, not even tough chinned guys like Maidana and Canelo.
2. Mayweather only gets busier when pressed and rarely actually loses rounds.
3. Pacqiou had a hard time cutting an old Mosely off
4. Mayweather is not Algerie

Overall I think it's crazy to assume pacman wins this fight at this stage of his career. His physique looks worn, he's not the same man who beat down a Cotto or a Margarito. And overall i feel like the guys that "troubled" floyd were rough houses who were physically imposing themselves on Mayweather. In this fight Money also has the size advantage, which isn't where you want to be against Floyd. Overall, call me crazy, but i think we see a Mayweather vs Gatti moment. Mostly due to the fact that i think some time after 6 rounds, manny will go for broke.

I think Manny not having power at the weight in a long time is not really accurate. I think he's become less aggressive so he won't get caught. Popular logic doesn't say that Manny will win but rather that Floyd is going to win. The only one I recall putting Bradley down was Provodnikov and he was in the refs way but basically pushed him down to his knee after hitting him in the back of the head. Floyd would never fight Bradley so there is nothing to compare. Most every fighter against Pacquiao in his later career with the exception of Marquez had size advantage over Pacquiao. Floyd won't have any weight advantage against pacquiao where Floyd used it against Marquez.

IMO Floyd is a naturally a bit bigger than Pacquiao. He's got about 2 inches on him in height and 3 inch in reach. He's also been fighting at welterweight longer than Pacquiao.
