Who Wins Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao?

[Master]

Floyd v Manny got so bad here in terms of debating we created their own board for it. It is amazing how much emotion and passion it brings out in people.

True and there'd be no need for debate if these two sissies fought each other.

If pac is such an easy fight for floyd then with all that he loves why hasn't he made the fight? It's a rhetorical question. Floyd knows best how to pick fighters he can handle. If floyd wins on points it will be by split decision. Floyd will lose to both pac or Bradley for the simple reason that that have a higher work rate.

Yep.

Bradley and pacs output will destroy floyd.

Anybody who thinks this would be easy for either guy is disqualified from debating.

I think if Floyd will win, he will need to have enough pop in his punch (like jmm) to lower Pacs volume of punches. Floyd will also have to counter well and should not settle with a few punches a round to win the fight. He may catch pac cleaner but if he doesn't get Pacs respect, pac may accumulate enough damage on Floyd's arms, shoulders, and eventually some may get in to slow Floyd down mid to later rounds. No doubt Floyd would need to beat Pac to most punches and be prepared to trade but get out. The straight right is Pacs weakness, Floyd should throw this in disguises.

I think this would come down to hand speed and foot work. If Floyd can counter well and get Pacs volume down, he wins. IF Pacs awkward all angle volume gets in and overwhelms a flat footed Floyd, Pac wins.

Very interesting how this would go, why can't they make the god damn fight already?

I think Floyd doesn't have the energy to run all night. I think he knows he is slowing down and pac can really get to him. Floyd is scared of something.....

I think Floyd wins an easy enough UD. Cant see Pac winning more then 3 or 4 rounds. Speed is something that would cause floyd trouble but with the speed i think you need the physical attributes that Manny doesnt have like height and reach. I still think Khan has a better chance of beating Floyd then Manny does.

And before any fan boys start saying how stupid I am thinking Khan would beat Manny I dont. I think Manny would stop Khan. Styles make fights and I just think how Khan fights will cause more trouble for Floyd then how Manny fights.

Pac has to be careful to because Floyd can hurt him. Floyd doesn't hit as hard as a lot of people Manny fought, but it's not the power in the punch when it comes to a speedster like Manny, it's hitting him with something he doesn't see coming. Floyd's not Paulie Malignaggi. It's funny people say "ohh why didn't (insert name here) throw more punches vs Floyd", like it's voluntary or they think it's a good idea to not throw many punches. Floyd makes guys timid to throw. Manny's going to be no different. He got put to sleep lunging in by a guy who isn't a one-punch KO artist, it can happen against Floyd.

I've seen Pac befuddled by JMM too many times to think he's going to just go out and do what he likes vs Floyd.

Very good points. Personally, I see Manny coming out fast and Floyd having issues at first. Floyd will land something Manny doesn't see and buzz him and Manny will shift to a speed based Attack where he tries to throw inaccurate combos n use his foot speed to get distance before the counter. Similar to his third fight vs JMM where he tried to to change styles and just outhustle JMM n eke out the win. Floyd is bigger and better than JMM though so I see Floyd really picking him apart late in the fight. I love that Manny is chasing this fight n feel that anything can happen. That being said: careful what u wish for Manny...

Manny really doesn't have anything to lose. He's going to make an insane amount of money and so what if he loses, he already got put to sleep by JMM so a loss to Floyd isn't really going to make people think less of him. And of course his fans will go to their graves saying that Pac was washed up when Floyd beat him, and Pac would have killed Floyd if they fought 4 years earlier. He's got 5 loses on his record, a 6th loss isn't going to make anyone love him any less.

Floyd's earning power and legacy really hinges on that undefeated record, because people hate Floyd. The second he loses to anyone, people are going to go "see, he was never good, he just fought hand picked stiffs and when he finally fought someone good he lost."

Ah, I don't know if I necessarily agree with your last statement. Everyone knows and can tell who the true haters are (for both guys), and I doubt those opinions matter for very much at all. If either guy wins, it isn't as impressive as it would've been 4 or 5 years ago. If either guy loses, they will remain an ATG in the eyes of historians n anyone whose opinion matters. Of the two sets of fans, and where I think things go terribly wrong, is that many Floyd fans blow it out of proportion if u disagree with their feelings that Floyd is TBE. You can articulate a rational argument why you feel this way,band even give credit to Floyd as an ATG and many of his fans will insist you hate him and think he is a cherry picking ducker. Just go back and look through the threads. Anyways, Floyd is an ATG and the best of his generation regardless of what happens now.

If Mayweather loses to Pac, people will for sure get on his ass and discredit his entire career. People discredit his entire career anyway. I've been talking to Floyd haters for years, I know them in and out.

And I'm talking about the haters. I don't think someone is necessarily a hater if they don't think he's the greatest boxer ever. The haters are the ones who go to the extreme, who will sit down and explain to you how every fight Floyd had was a hand picked set up and he never fought anyone.

It's never been Pacquioa that I've hated, just his stupid, idiotic fans who lack the capacity and willingness to see the bigger picture and can't recognize the subtle intricacies of the situation.

No Pac fans just think Floyd is scared to fight Manny. Thinking it's that basic is dumb.
