Don't see it

[Violent Demise]

Based on his dominate win over the great Marquez, I can't see how Pacquiao would even have a chance against Mayweather. It's not the fact that Mayweather won. It's the way he won. Pacquiao, despite being more control now than he was in the past is still a reckless fighter compared to Marquez. Mayweather would have a field day with him. Pacquiao would get himself off balanced and Mayweather would make him pay every time. Mayweather-Pacquiao would really be more lopsided than Mayweather-Marquez was

Seeing last night's fight has to give Pac and his camp some second thoughts about how much they want to fight Mayweather.

However, I do think Pacquiao would be more competitive than Marquez was. Pacquiao has much more speed and explosion than Marquez, and Floyd has always had a bit more trouble with southpaws than conventional fighters. When Floyd faces conventional guys, he sees every punch coming a mile away and always knows how to react. Whereas guys like Corley have actually managed to land some hard flush punches against Floyd out of the southpaw stance.

And Marquez was completely uncomfortable trying to play the role of the aggressor, while Manny wouldn't be.

Mayweather still outlanded Corley 283-150. And landed over 50% of his punches in every round. He can handle southpaws.

I never said he couldn't handle southpaws or that he couldn't land plenty of punches against them.

I'm saying that in the past, there have been a few occasions where he's been hit by some clean hard punches by southpaws that he never gets hit with against righties.

And Pacquiao is a much better offensive fighter and more dangerous puncher than guys like Corley and Judah.

Based on last night, I too think Pac-man would be NO match for Floyd. The fight I want to see is Mosley-Mayweather. If Floyd fought and beat Shane, I would never question him again.

Not just Shane, but do as Cotto has (other than Marg) and dominate the weight class. However, soundly beating Shane would go a long way in my book. Remember Cotto beat Shane and no one called Cotto p4p #1.

The thing is would you give Pacquiao more credit for trying to fight PBF and failing in that attempt or for dominating the 135-140 pound fighters?
