3 things - 1 Pac is inhuman- 2- How good must marquez be - 3-Mayweather!

Wow! I have tremendous respect for Pac...but i think people are getting a bit carried away. If you listen to Roach before Pac's last three fights...he himself pointed out their individual glaring weaknesses. Fact remains...Roach for the most part handpicked Manny's last three opponents. He is definitely not handpicking the Floyd fight. This will be a fight that the market demands. All of the HUGE advantages Pac had over Cotto, Oscar, and Hatton...will either be gone or neutrilized against Floyd. Skill, speed, endurance, defense, intelligence...there is no glaring weakness in Floyd's arsenal. Another thing i think people miss from the Pac/Cotto fight...Pac, for all of his speed and improvements...still gets hit frequently. Cotto has no where near the speed, accuracy, or overall skill of Floyd...yet he still tagged Manny. People keep focusing on IF FLOYD CAN KNOCKOUT MANNY. But Floyd's game has never been about knocking people out. If anything...Manny's huge rise will make Floyd train harder than ever (which is scary considering how hard he trains normally). I am not saying Floyd will definitely win...but for people to think that this will play out like Pac's recent performances...highly doubtful.

Well then I'll say it for you.

Mayweather will beat Manny.

Definitely. Barring puncher's luck, which is always the wild card when folks are hitting each other, Floyd should be expected to win by most anyone, particularly by boxing fans. Like yous.

Pac-Gayweather would be an ugly fight. After having witnessed Pac's power and speed in destroying Cotto, Gayweather will refuse to engage but just hug and run away all night, pecking his way to an excruciatingly boring close but unanimous decision win.

Yeah, well, who was it in another thread who wrote "One shot. And the complexion of the game can turn in pac's favor." Oh, yeah, it was you.

That's basically what I meant, too. Not to dis Manny. He's great, no doubt. I didn't mean to say he is "just a puncher" exactly.

But what I said still stands; Floyd should be expected to win, and if he doesn't, it is more likely to be that "one punch" that changes the game and less likely to be that Manny dominated over the course of the fight.

Totally reasonable. Feel free to be reasonable, too.

ok people are saying manny is such a much more improved fighter now and isnt the same guy who fought marquez thw second time. isnt this the same stuff said before the rematch? how is manny a better fighter now then he was then? like i said he didmt change, his opponents did. we cant say he's a different fighter then he was against marquez because no one he has faced since has fought a disciplined counter punching match against pacquiao so how do we think he somehow has found the answer when he hasnt fought anything close to that style since?
