Pac vs Floyd prediction

[SugarBoxing]

Ok, guys, lets see who knows some Sh.t about boxing

My prediction:

Mayweather will KO Pac with a body shot to the liver.
It will take 8-10 rounds.

P.S. I do want Pac to win, but I do not see how it is going to happen

[erics44]

ive just looked at the mayweather record and i dont think its as good as people make out

i know its been said many times, people analysing records and all that

his best wins seem to be alverez, hatton and dlh?

i personally think mannys is much more impressive

marquez seems to be a yard stick but styles are a huge factor when you put him against manny and mayweather

i reckon in their pomp floyd would have struggled with manny and i dont see why it would be any different now

Pacquiao UD Mayweather in a tough fight.

The Phillipino overwhelms him.

I don't think Pac will land enough clean power shots though to knock him out and will certainly be lookin puffy himself after catching his fair share of counters.

I DO NOT however, see a repeat of Marquez... That was certainly "catching lightning in a bottle", unable to be repeated with any kind of regularity.

And speaking of Marquez, let's not forget that Floyd outweighed Marquez and required him to move up.

In my opinion, Floyd will pull out with some excuse and a backlash at Manny and this fight will never go ahead.

Absolutely pathetic!

Pacman will beat him

Mayweather struggles with Southpaws and he's never faced a Southpaw like Pacquiao, Floyd can't fight at a pace either and will be forced to fight so Pac wins this for me

as Fighters I respect both these guys (who wouldn't?) and am not on one side or the other. but I reckon Floyd will win on Points. you can't really say UD because look what happened on the scorecards v Canelo!
I think Floyd will avoid Manny's attacks , clinching where necessary, but connect enough on the counter to win rounds. it will be close for the first half of the fight and Floyd will gradually pull away and realistically win by 3-4 rounds.
Floyd may end up looking like a "mini Andre Ward", and it won't be pretty or a great fight as such. Pretty standard Floyd fight really.

I don't think it will be such a shut-out for Floyd (Malignaggi's rant was a bit over the top). I'm certain that the fight will be quite competitive in the first third or so, with Mayweather trying to figure Pac out.

If Floyd manages to do that without any knock-downs, he'll pull it off. But if Pac scores an early knock-down or two, it will be up to the judges (so he'll pull it off then also).

Pacquiao by SD or MD

I think Pac will have a difficult time landing significant shots that will hurt May, and I think May will have problem with punch output and his lack of activity will cost him some rounds. Ultimately I think Pac's output, his in/out, and lateral movement will win him enough rounds to push this a decision victory and into a rematch. I see no knockdowns in this iconic matchup.

Go Pac Go!

Floyd by big points margin or else he stops pacman, just can't see pacman causing floyd any problems might be a fun 1st 3 rounds but after that it's all floyd.

It's a pick em fight. Mayweather has timing and quickness and is able to make some amazing athletic moves where otherwise he collects more damage during a fight with faster fighters. That athleticism and his reflexes has slowed some, so I would expect even with the slower Pacquaio he will absorb more blows than in his previous fights. Obviously he will look to tie Pacquiao up so he can't through so many punches to keep the fight close. I don't expect a KO. If Mayweather can't tie Pacquiao up, I think he's slowed down too much and Pacquiao wins a close Decision. If Mayweather has sandbagged us with his last 3 fights, then he should be able to take 6 or 7 clear rounds. They have both been through tons of media exposure and both are confident so there won't be any head game advantage. Any mental advantage will have to happen in the ring. I really think this fight comes down to who wants it more.

Pacquiao has never faced a counter-puncher defense specialist as Floyd. Pretty competitive fight.

If Maidana can get to Mayweather then Manny can. I think Manny has his moments but Floyd outpoints him. I was going with a wide Floyd points win but now I'm thinking it'll be relatively close.

I certainly hope it's close; after 5 years waiting it better be.

I'm begining to agree that Pac has a better shot now so here's to hoping.

[smashup]

Pacquiao definitely has a better shot now than he did 5 years ago and it's so right that if Maidana was getting to Floyd with good success then so will Manny.

He's gonna be all over Floyd like a crazed octopus and Floyd won't like it at all and will be forced to fight him which he simply can't do for 12 rounds these days.

Pac is the favourite for me 100%

I don't think it'd be easy for either guy I'm predicting Pac by SD. he'll win rounds mostly by being more active then Floyd.

[Chino]

I don't think it'd be easy for either guy I'm predicting Pac by SD. he'll win rounds mostly by being more active then Floyd.

I was thinking the same thing but then again look at the outcome of Floyd vs Oscar fight. Oscar was throwing punches from all over the place while Floyd countered effectively and look how that fight ended.
