I'll give him credit for a KO but it's what I'm expecting anyway.
why? pac got the p4p when pbf retired, pac fought alot since then and pbf didnt do nothing.
if pbf Kos jmm he kod a guy with a one loss one draw record against pac. we can argue the same that pac also kod in a better fashion hatton.
pbf cant demand the larger purse cause he aint drawing crowds anymore.
going back to topic
i think jmm can handle pbf, i wish he can win. but its impossible for pbf to toy with jmm.
Mayweather hasn't dropped many fighters in his career. The ones he has been able to hand a beat down to in recent years are one dimensional, come forward brawlers...like Gatti and Hatton. Marquez is way too tough, skilled, and intelligent to simply be target practice for Floyd. Floyd's inactivity is my biggest concern...if he comes in rusty after a near two year layoff...Marquez will surprise him. But Floyd knows what is on the table...a future fight with Pac...and he knows Marquez is a great fighter...so i think he will be fully prepared. I have Floyd winning on points simply because he has too much speed and slickness for Marquez to handle.

I disagree. It should be 50-50 or Pac should get more money. It also depends on how Pac dispatches Cotto and the final numbers for both fights.
I agree. Floyd has too much speed and is too elusive for Marquez. I'd be very, very surprised if Marquez wins. I wouldn't be as surprised if Cotto beat Pacquiao.
My belief is the style to beat Floyd is a bigger boxer who either is equally fast or is a volume puncher (e.g. Pwill or SSM). Truthfully, that may not be enough to beat Floyd, but we've never seen him fight someone who possesses those characteristics. He's beat brawlers, counter punchers, and smaller fighters.

I thought this fight was easy to predict. Personally I think that Marquez would be Mayweather's most difficult fight.
The timing of Marquez is impeccable and his punching power is something not to be underestimated. If he was able to KO Casamayor and Diaz, I give him a 45% chance of hurting Mayweather.
If Marquez was able to withstood the onslaught of Pac, which proved too much for Hatton and DLH, then he could also withstand the punches of Mayweather.
IMO, I don't see Mayweather stopping Marquez. If he will be able to do it then he deserves a larger purse than Pac in case they meet.![]()

Easy, Pac is #1, JMM #2. Pac never Ko'd JMM. PBF remains undefeated ....
Look at the mindset and skill level that Pac hand picks floundering foes:
David Diaz was awarded the title when Joel Casamayor, the champion at the time, was stripped of the title for signing to fight WBO champion Acelino Freitas rather than defend against him.
David Diaz -
3 foes prior to Pac fight. Ramon Montano, EM (an old washed up fighter, yet many felt EM won the fight). Jose Armando Santa Cruz a guy now 3 & 3 in his last 6 fights.
ODLH - weight drained cross dressing promoter -
An old Joke : 3 foes prior to Pac fight. Mayorga (another joke with no skill set) Forbes (journeyman) and he barely won. Mayweather - could have won but clearly could no longer pull the trigger and just had to throw more jabs to win.
Hatton -
Malagnaggi ( does not even posses the strength to even blow out a candle). Lazcano - entered he Hatton fight having lost in previous fight to Vivian Harris. Mayweather - made Hatton look like an amatuer ( witness funniest KO I have ever seen)
Cotto -
Joshua Clottey ( tough foe, Cotto did just enough to win , not impressive)
Michael Jennings - Little known with no impressive opponents on record , 34% KO %.
Margarito - Loss his heart that night. It was obvious in the Clottey fight he will never be the same.
So see how Pac has cherry picked his way to fame. Granted he has performed in ring. But Pac fight the wounded with a marquee name. EM fight one and JMM are the only opponents they have underestimated / miscalculated.
You can do this to all of Pac's foes after facing JMM in their 1st fight. They either lost their previous fight or one of their last three fights prior to entering the fight vs Pac..
JMM's is no murderers row either but slightly more impressive than Pac's.
This is why PBF deserves the larger purse, if and only he manages to KO JMM.

Most boxing fans don't give a shit if Mayweather or Pac gets the larger purse, We just want to see the fight be made and hopefully it will be a good one.

I think it will be Mayweather vs Cotto in 2010 i don't think Pac can beat Cotto the weight thing with Cotto concerns me but if he comes down right i think he will be to big and strong for pac i think he has bitten off to much this time.
Array
I agree. Cotto may beat Pacquiao. The fight's at 145, right? If so, the weight doesn't concern me at all. The only thing that concerns me that is that Freddie Roach wanted this fight and it has been proven he knows what Pacquiao can and can't handle.
You really think PBF will fight Cotto?
