    I know this is getting tired but I still say that it has to be Pacman. I agree that those shots landed by Mosely in round 2 were great. Manny has much more foot and hand speed than Mosely. In my opinion, had Manny been in that situation and landed those shots, he would have finished it off and landed about 6-8 more of those shots and possibly put Floyd on the ground in that situation. My opinion of Mayweather rose 5 fold during that fight. Very composed in the face of mild adversity. I may stamp the G.O.A.T. tag on him if he beats Manny in the same way he beat Mosely. However, I still think that if and when this fight does happen, Floyd will have to stop boxing and start fighting in this match. And when that happens, I have to give the edge to Manny...but the deal has to be made first.

    I would lean towards Paul Williams at light middle, but otherwise, there is a reason why Pac v Mayweather is the most called for fight in boxing right now...

    Pac being AS fast as Mayweather... Maybe not as 100% effective or intelligent speed, but he can land as fast as Mayweather... He's VERY light on his feet and is very good at ducking and taking away the target size to BE hit.. He's a southpaw which is more effective on Mayweather.... And most of all, he punches from much more angles than most fighters... And unexpectedly... Strict boxers are figured out by Floyd within 2 or 3 rounds and he makes them look awful... The fighters who can really work angles to the body and overly pressure Floyd have been the closest to beating him.. Castillo and Hatton.. Hatton was just way to hittable... Pac is about 100 times less hittable than Hatton was in the Floyd fight..
    I think Pac has a few different game plans that he could execute to take rounds of Floyd... It'll be a cracking fight..

    One thing that worries me though for that is Floyd looked much much bigger than Shane... Shane was supposed to be bigger and stronger, but by round 5, Floyd looked faster, stronger, bigger, taller, longer reach, more aggressive.. But all that lost most of it's effect in Round 2 vs Mosley because of the pressure... Pac will put more pressure than most fighters without being hit as much...

    Pac is the biggest risk to Floyd...

    Has to be Pacquiao, followed by Williams.
    Manny's speed and southpaw style will cause problems for Floyd, but nothing he cannot handle. Manny has never faced anyone that moves as much and as fast as Floyd does, so it will be interesting to see how his normally high accuracy holds up. Same goes the other way around too I suppose, but Manny is a lot easier to hit than Floyd.
    Freddie Roach will need to get Manny working on his upper body movement if he wants him to have any chance I reckon. Even though he has impressively won all his recent fights, Manny has been tagged pretty well in most of them at different points. If you give Floyd a target, he will hit it and wear you down over the rounds.

    I was thinking of voting PW but I just see a Diego Corrales scenario all over again. I'll go with Pac.

    Nah, can see why a few people think Williams gives him a tough fight. I see Mayweather toying with Pacquiao to be honest.
