"Why Manny Pacquiao will beat Mayweather Jr."

[levi#1BoxingFan]

Very well said Asian! If I had to add anything, Mayweather is fast with one hand, Pacquiao is fast with two! The big word that seperate the two is this..........

COMBINATIONS!

Unpredictability versus sweet science...

A ring rusty Floyd will be severely tested against Manny and if he is as sharp as he was against Hatton..He beats Floyd!

On the other hand if Floyd performs well and the time away has'nt affected him...He will pick Manny off at will!!

This one we will have to wait and see on...because if Floyd comes back sharp its gonna be fascinating to watch and a severe test for both of them!

You might be right about the rustiness bud. In that case I see Floyd getting in the groove and taking control by about the 5th or 6th round.

The big difference between PAC and Floyd, is that Floyd is multi-dimensional. It's one thing for PAC to beat the snot out of a guy who just charges in head first, but we'll see how PAC does when he fights a top athlete with tons of savvy, who knows how to adapt to the situation and present different game plans.

Excellent article. But I have to wait and see Mayweather's performance against Marquez before I (fully) criticize Floyd.

It's a really good article, but the "Pacquiao will make Mayweather look like an amateur" part is just plain silly.

99% of PAC's opponent were surprised by PAC's speed and offense the first time they met him inside the ring... Most likely PBF will be surprised too... The question now is how quickly PBF can adjust to PAC's unpredictable style of boxing...
.

Sorry, but please... whilst pac is excellent at what he does, he is far from unpredictable.

OK maybe we can change unpredictable to "irregular" or "awkward"...

Gotta admit... I'm 0 for 2 in predicting the last two Pac fights.

I was ROOTING for Pac to KO Oscar, but thought Oscar had pulled off a marketing masterplan by fighting the much smaller Pac... so I dreadfully predicted a DLH win. Happily, I was wrong.

I was ROOTING for Pac to KO Hatton, but was SURE this time that Pac had bitten off more than he could chew, with the naturally bigger Hatton, who was not quite as over-the-hill as DLH turned out to be. Again, I dreadfully predicted a Hatton win (and braced for the silly # 1 p4p arguments). Happily, I was wrong again.

Now I'll be rooting for Pac against PBF, who seems to think that boxing is hanging on his every word, and acting like the # 1 p4p is his birth right. Difference is..... I won't bet against Pac on THIS one.

Mar has Philippine flag under his name?

Btw, Is "RP" stands for Republic of the Philippines?

Manny hasn't faced a fighter like Floyd and Floyd hasn't faced a fighter like Manny. Pac's style is NOT basic, and he is far from predictable. Aside from that, Manny's countenance before fights is unbelievable. While many fighters put on a scowl to project toughness, Manny is always unbelievably relaxed, smiling and even joking around. The only pre-fight scowl I've seen on him was Morales III. It shows his mental preparation and state of mind. It will be a good fight. I think Manny is faster than Floyd, and the Zab Judah fight is a very good guage of how this fight will turn out. Manny's state of mind, focus and tenacity is much more than Zab's or anybody that Floyd ever faced. I think Manny can KO Floyd because he is now a two-fisted fighting machine and with much improved defense. I can't see how Floyd can hurt Manny if he hardly stands still. In a blink of an eye, Manny can hit him with a left and disappear from view. All mayweather can do is fight backing up with his shoulder-roll. But knowing Floyd, he can adjust. It remains to be seen how Manny makes out of Floyd's shoulder roll. For the first time in his career, Mayweather will feel the hurt- bloodied nose and all, even if he wins.

You know how some fighters take a well deserved rest and time off after a huge win?.......Have you ever thought about that .Could be worth looking into

Do you mean "DOES RP stand for Republic of the Philippines?.."

and yes, that is what it stands for.. good guess.

I will 100% give Mayweather credit if he beats Pac - This fight is more than legitimate in my opinion...

However, Mayweather will not walk away from this fight with the "W" - Pacquaio is virtually unbeatable at this stage of his career. I implore you to not to doubt what Pacman is capable of against PBF...

(If the fight happens)

Floyd has the advantage in this fight since he is a defensive master and is good at not getting hit. Pacquaio isnt and gets hit alot. I think that will be the difference in this fight. I think the fight will be very competitive in the first 6 rounds with Pac forcing the action and Floyd countering but in the middle and late rounds Floyd will pull ahead....IMO

I dont see a KO in this fight. Floyd on close decision.
