This fight will be decided by the judges. It will go the distance. The question comes down to which style do the judges favor? If both fighters land the same amount of punches,but Manny is throwing 3-punch combos and moving forward, then you have Mayweather moving backwards and throwing 1 punch at a time, who looks like they won the fight? I would think Manny does. Mayweather would have to take chances to win this fight if he moves backwards all night no matter how many punches he lands he looks like the loser.

dean..good point. It takes more energy to punch and miss than it does to punch and land. Floyd is the more accurate of the two and conserves energy very well. I am not taking anything away from Manny but it was not until Floyd retired and he beat two of Floyds previous opponents did he become the talk of the town. Same can be said about Mosley, until the Margarito win he was pretty much out of the spotlight. Unfortunately human nature is based upon “what have you done for me lately?”

floyd will win because manny will be throwing combos and MISSING most of the time . this and mayweathers counterpunching will wear down manny p. !! its a fact that when you are a knock out type of fighter and put alot of mustard on your punches it is harder on you when you MISS ..TAKES MORE OUT OF YOU , FACT !! DECISION MAYWEATHER ..

First of all, anyone who thinks Pacquiao has better handspeed and foot movement than Mayweather does not know what they’re talking about. The real question would be if Pacquiao can handle Mayweather’s in and out of range foot movement and the lead left hook. Will Pacquiao even be able to find a sparring partner that can immulate this.
Freddie Roach has been so vindictive in his comments against Mayweather and his family that I can’t say that I much respect him anymore. You don’t talk like that if you really want to consider yourself a decent human being. The way Freddie Roach expresses his deep seated hatred of the Mayweather family really just show him to be the low life that he tries to say that others are.

roach said we will take whatever floyd gives us body,arms.shoulders ,the fight likely to be at a catch weight of 147lb so pac will have to gain 2 lb of more power to be at 151lb and floyd about 157lb,ha floyd beside swollen face or and koed,he also be black and blue arms and shoulders.he be so broken,lets see how many fighters has manny broken,,,,

This fight prediction is very simple:Manny cannot hit what he can’t see.People seem to be making the mistake of comparing Manny’s speed with PBF while forgetting that PBF ’s speed almost borders on superhuman.Love both fighters but Manny is a greatnartist while PBF is actually the Van Gough of boxing.

did u really watch the DLH/PBF fight? ur saying that he was winning cuz DLH was going to the body and putting his back on the ropes! DLH was wining the fight cuz of his JAB! watch the fight! Roach begged him to use it and double it up! when DLH stopped using thr JAB, PBF took over! to beat PBF u need a good jab, that is the only way you beat PBF. JMM went 12 with PBF cuz he has a jab, Hatton got KO’d cuz he tried what everyone else does, bully Floyd. He is expecting that, so if Pac does that its good night Pac. Roach will come up with something better than that to try to beat Pbf, will it work? we have to wait and see, hopefully Pac beats PBF, that way Pbf stop ducking other good fighters.

No contest. Floyd is better in every category except power and he’ll make Manny look like a one trick pony. Sorry Pac fans. I don;t care for either but the reality is that Floyd has more tools and Manny won’t be able to deal with all the different looks Floyd’s throws him!
