mayweather

he'll frustrate pacquiao in the early rounds and then out-box him for the rest of the fight

late k/o or decision

**basslinejunkie** · 07-12-2009, 01:52 PM

pac man on points

**baconstyle** · 07-12-2009, 02:00 PM

Mayweather has something to prove. Pacquiao does not, and is already planning for post-boxing glory. I think he might have lost the edge.

Mayweather by decision.

**SlavikSvensk** · 07-12-2009, 03:38 PM

manny, IMO, is just way too fast and technical for floyd, who looked rusty in his comeback. in 2007, floyd wins. today, manny on points.

**Numeric** · 07-12-2009, 04:26 PM

floyd did not look rusty against marquez

he smashed him up proper

**force** · 07-12-2009, 04:29 PM

He's never come up against anybody like Manny though.

Vice versa as well i suppose.

**force** · 07-12-2009, 04:31 PM

Im soooooo fcking excited!

marquez got a lot of shots in, though didn't he.,,and that's after all the shadiness with the weigh-ins. and marquez not nearly as fast or technical as manny.

Bring this on, gonna be a tidy fight!

**The Overfiend** · 07-12-2009, 05:03 PM

Mayweather is not going to know how to react to someone quicker than him, and just as powerful.
But Mayweather has got some heaters in his arsenal.

**SlavikSvensk** · 08-12-2009, 04:38 PM

i think it will definitely go the distance. mayweather's advantage is that he'll fight near his natural weight, while manny won't. but as you say, floyd's never faced someone as quick as manny. or as technical. it's going to be tough to land those heaters, and he's going to have to pay more mind to defense than normal. i think he's going to get frustrated.

**Numeric** · 09-12-2009, 04:52 PM

mayweather's a patient boxer, if either man is going to become frustrated it will be manny

manny hasn't faced a boxer of mayweather's class

**SlavikSvensk** · 11-12-2009, 12:15 AM

dunno, mate. compare floyd's fight with ricky hatton, who was fighting above his most comfortable weight, to manny's.

think floyd will get better as the fight goes on, but i think he's going to have a hell of a lot of trouble early on.

He did defeat Oscar De La Hoya

de la hoya looked awful in that fight, he didn't get going

you could say that was due to manny's speed and strength though

true, mayweather was cautious in the early rounds against hatton, i expect he'll be the same against pacquiao
