I don't see Floyd-Pac being competitive after that performance

[markb018]

Floyds timing would be way too much for pac and he WOULD DEFINITLEY KO PAC. Remember that I professed this everyone. And for all those who want to attack me for saying this be careful because I WILL remember lol

I agree with you...frankly i am surprised at all the hate Mayweather is receiving after a brilliant performance.

I've been here 5 years and i'm not surprised

i dont think pacmans work rate will be so high against floyd, a fighter like floyd will hit u and hit u hard in between ur combos, he ill adjust just like he did against mosely and it will just look like it wasnt pacmans "night"

[Pavlik]

I love PAC, but PAC will be slower/shorter than Mayweather and has very penetrable defense. I give Manny a puncher's chance

[Taeth]

I think people forget that Manny isn't the same whirlwind against movement, we've seen Marquez and Barrera significantly reduce his offensive effectiveness and output by using distance.

Also Pacquaio can only use angles if Mayweather allows him to close the gap, otherwise the only option Pacquiao has is to come straight forward at Mayweather and Floyd will see him coming. In a fight between two truly ATG's I think Floyd is just too well rounded, and Manny will never have instinctive skills that Floyd possesses. Manny is truly great and already a top 15 p4p, but Floyd is better than him.

Floyd stops Pacquiao in less than 8 no doubt in my mind

[Fenster]

I totally disagree with eveyone (that's everyone that agrees with GB).

I've never given Pac much chance against Floyd but now believe he will KO him. Or get KO'd. Either way someone will be KO'd.

So I guess you're going with that someone in the fight will get ko and not go the distance?

I think Floyd takes it by UD, no ko of Pac. It probably be competitive for say the 1st 3 maybe 4 rounds then Floyd cruises for a UD.

[JazMerkin]

Floyd starts slow, Pac starts fast. I think Pac's best hope is to stop him early because if it goes on I think Mayweather will stop him with accumulation. Either Roach throws in the towel or the ref will save him. It's not a foregone conclusion though, it's a fight between two ATGs no way is it an easy call.

I now think Pac has the ability to not only hurt Floyd, but put him under the type of pressure that will force him to retaliate with fire. Both do the distance with ease, so I wouldn't expect either to look to survive at any point.

Someone will end up on queer street.

I think Mayweather hits too hard for him. Pacquiao isn't exactly hard to find. Accumulation around 8 or 9 i reckon. Floyd by TKO.

[erik_corrales]

the key here is for pac to feint. if pac can't pull off the feint, its mayweather's night.

mosley failed to do this after the second round..

[milmascaras1]

imo, mayweather jr./pacquiao will never happen! and it won't happen cause roach is not going to let pacquiao get near the masterful mayweather jr. also, pacquiao's refusal to comply to a simple blood test doesn't help either. i believe floyd jr. is once in a lifetime fighter. it's absolutely incredible what he does to great fighters. he makes them look like ordinary ones. and for those who say mosley was too old? hogwash! mosley might have been "old" in boxing years but he was still a very dangerous opponent and mayweather jr. simply dominated him. with apologies to pacquiao, mayweather jr. is, and has been, boxing's number one p4p fighter in years.

[Kirkland Laing]

Mayweather only got caught in the second round because he changed his usual style and went looking for a knockout. He won't take any chances against Pacneedle and will batter him with hard counters. Mosley had a two inch reach and height advantage last night, Floyd has a three inch reach and two inch height advantage over the Needle. The Needle's face was a mess after fighting Clottey and he hardly threw a punch. He'll be a mess after a few rounds with Floyd and will be slowed right down to the speed Floyd wants to fight at due to getting lumped in the mush every time he tries to hit Floyd. It'll be a shutout or close to it but it won't happen as the Needle will refuse the testing again. And the media will blame Floyd for the fight not happening.

[Rantcatrat]

Pacquiao thru 400 or so more punches against Clottey than both Mayweather and Mosley did together. There was often 15 and 20 seconds that when by with only a faint or two. Mayweather didn't run in this one. If Mosley had less respect for Mayweather and let his hand go by just 3 or four more punches it could have been more competitive. It was like the guy had his hands tied I couldn't believe it.

It wouldnt have been more competitive if Mosley let his hands go. Shane would have been stopped if he did that. Shane didnt throw cause when he did he was getting rocked

Shane didn't throw because he was gassed. If Pacquiao had hurt Mayweather in the second he would've been all over him. Shane looked happy to be there at points in the fight.

It reminded me of the Clottey performance in that regard.

You have to wonder. Shane's been caught using steroids and then lied about knowing he used them. Now, in the only fight in his career he had to take Olympic Style Drug Tests and he had stamina problems? A little fishy.
