"Why Manny Pacquiao will beat Mayweather Jr."

[Rantcatrat]

A ring rusty Floyd will be severely tested against Manny and if he is as sharp as he was against Hatton..He beats Floyd!

On the other hand if Floyd performs well and the time away has'nt affected him...He will pick Manny off at will!!

This one we will have to wait and see on...because if Floyd comes back sharp its gonna be fascinating to watch and a severe test for both of them!

You might be right about the rustiness bud. In that case I see Floyd getting in the groove and taking control by about the 5th or 6th round.

The big difference between PAC and Floyd, is that Floyd is multi-dimensional. It's one thing for PAC to beat the snot out of a guy who just charges in head first, but we'll see how PAC does when he fights a top athlete with tons of savvy, who knows how to adapt to the situation and present different game plans.

The bigger difference is that Floyd is significantly bigger than Manny in reach and height. A good big man beats a good small man. That is the difference. Why do you think Roach wants the fight at 143?

Let me ask two questions: (1) all things being equal regarding previous victories etc., does a win do more for Pac or PBF's legacy? The answer is easy: Pac's legacy because he would be beating a bigger, former #1 p4p fighter whereas Floyd would merely be beating a smaller #1 p4p fighter. (2) Who will be the betting favorite for this fight?

Manny hasn't faced a fighter like Floyd and Floyd hasn't faced a fighter like Manny. Pac's style is NOT basic, and he is far from predictable. Aside from that, Manny's countenance before fights is unbelievable. While many fighters put on a scowl to project toughness, Manny is always unbelievably relaxed, smiling and even joking around. The only pre-fight scowl I've seen on him was Morales III. It shows his mental preparation and state of mind. It will be a good fight. I think Manny is faster than Floyd, and the Zab Judah fight is a very good guage of how this fight will turn out. Manny's state of mind, focus and tenacity is much more than Zab's or anybody that Floyd ever faced. I think Manny can KO Floyd because he is now a two-fisted fighting machine and with much improved defense. I can't see how Floyd can hurt Manny if he hardly stands still. In a blink of an eye, Manny can hit him with a left and disappear from view. All mayweather can do is fight backing up with his shoulder-roll. But knowing Floyd, he can adjust. It remains to be seen how Manny makes out of Floyd's shoulder roll. For the first time in his career, Mayweather will feel the hurt- bloodied nose and all, even if he wins.

Good Post. Pac will make Floyd work like never before, but Floyd will use defense and movement to win the fight on points.

Floyd has the advantage in this fight since he is a defensive master and is good at not getting hit. Pacquaio isnt and gets hit alot. I think that will be the difference in this fight. I think the fight will be very competitive in the first 6 rounds with Pac forcing the action and Floyd countering but in the middle and late rounds Floyd will pull ahead....IMO

I dont see a KO in this fight. Floyd on close decision.

Good post.

The only advantage I see for Pac is that one of the criteria for judging a round is effective aggression. Floyd, as of recent, has not been aggressive whereas Pac's aggression has been highly effective. There is the potential for Pac to win rounds based on this alone.
