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

[Rantcatrat]

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.

Logic says Mayweather

But I dunno.....I just got this feeling Pac-Man will do him. One thing I will say is that if Floyd does win, it won't be easy and it won't be a clear victory. Pac man will put on enough of a showing to make a rematch an option.

It won't be a Canelo. It won't a Guerrero. Or Marquez. Or pretty much most of Floyds fights. Where picks and pops and makes the guy miss, on his way to a UD. I just can't see him winning this fight clearly.

I want Floyd to win and would like to proven wrong and I hope he outclasses Pac-Man. I really do. But it happened to Ray Leonard, Ali, hell even Sugar Ray Robinson. That supremly confident fighters always get humbled eventually. That's just the way the Boxing gods have it.

I dont think this will happen here, the "histroy repeats itself" cliche, is just that, a cliche. Personally i dont think Manny is Manny anymore, no matter how hard he trains, and Floyd has not slipped by much, which is why i think this will be a shutout. In his last few fights Manny looked less than impressive against less than impressive opposition.

I don't entirely disagree, but Floyd should have blown out Maidana. He's the typical Floyd opponent: slow of hand, heavy feet, and relatively slow reflexes. Recall that Devon Alexander took Maidana to school by boxing and moving. Yet, it took Floyd two goes at the apple. The Manny of old stops Algieri and Rios though - no doubt about it.
