mayeather vs pacman

This fight had no effect on my confidence in Floyd beating PAC. Though stunning, remember Hatton did come in with chin in the air, hands way to low, no head movement, and charging to make a sum of forces. This does not mean the defensive genius of Floyd Mayweather will be able to be beaten. Good KO by PAC but it means nothing against Floyd.

It is more about size than anything. Pacquiao stands 5'6 and has a 67" reach; Floyd stands 5'8 and has a 72" reach. PBF has fought at 147 since 2006. Manny was fighting below 130 at that time. They may be very comparable in speed, agility, and endurance. But, pardon the cliche, all other things being equal, a naturally bigger man will beat a smaller man.

N.B. Hatton and Pacquiao didn't actually look too different in size. They stood about the same size and Pacquiao actually had a longer reach.

Floyd should put all the naysayers criticism to rest by challenging true welters. He should beat SSM, Cotto, and Pwill. That would do more for his legacy than beating Pac.

Beating Floyd would do a lot for Pac's legacy because PBF is the former p4p #1 and a naturally bigger man. In beating Pac, Floyd would just be beating another smaller man, albeit the greatest in the last 20 years, but another smaller man.
