There you are again. Under estimating the greatness of The Pacman. Have you not seen enough already? I just love it when Pacman is always the underdog and coming out a huge winner displaying his blinding speed, power, and accuracy. One thing is certain, I will never bet against Pacquiao.

This fight is so anticipated because the outcome is so debatable. Floyd’s defense and boxing ability is probably the best in the sport. Can it hold up against a guy who everyone claims, “you can’t see where his punches are coming from”. It will be interesting to see if Mayweather can frustrate Manny with his defense. Mayweather may be as fast but he does not let his hands go like Manny does. If you asked me a year ago if Manny could beat Floyd, I would have said you were crazy but the man is warrior. I think if Manny is in danger of losing he will force the action on Floyd. You can’t win without offense and Manny has the better offense. I don’t know who wins but I sure hope Manny does. It is great to see a boxer that is all about the love of the sport and does not need an ego to gain fans. Still need guys like Mayweather though!

Great article! For those who claim that Mayweather ducks fighters, tell me why he fought an undefeated Hatton and beat him silly? Why did he call out Mosley?

All I hear from Pacquiao supporters is knockout, aggresion, pressure.

ZMAN, I think Floyd will be prepared for Pac so it might be tough for Pac to get off a lot of combos. We know that Pac throws punches from strange angles, in part because he is a southpaw. Another thing with Pac worth mentioning is his legs…they are huge and much of his power comes from his legs. If Floyd can keep him fighting straight up Pac won’t be able to use the leverage from his legs to leap into his power shots. As I have said before with all Manny’s abilities I just think that Floyd has more.

mayweather’s jabs will be the difference in this fight..it will set the tone for quick right hands and combinations to pacquiao’s face..these punches will be so quick that he won’t even see them and will eventually frustrate him…

Decent article Harold Tackie, but taking pot-shots at your readership wont help your credibility as a writer.

the keys to a PacMan win… He must keep his hands up more. Mayweather fights well on his heels but falls apart if you follow up your combos with a couple extra punches. I have seen mayweather time and again exploit one two combos with his great timeing and counter punching. But at the same time I have seen him look silly when the right one two is followed up by a precise 4-6 punch combo. Mayweather is good on his heels but limitted. Watch the first castillo fight, the zab fight and even the Delahoya fight. See Mayweather dodges and ducks and picks off the first few punches, but the ones that follow keep him on his heels too long and his head gets snapped back. You have to keep him from countering with those follow up shots. The only one with Stamina enough to sutain that onslaught is Manny. But watch out for mistakes. Mayweather has made so many Pay! (that’s “money”)lol. It is winnable for both fighters. Mosley Mayweather is just the same! Very intriguing to see these three as all styles are perfect for each other and perfect for boxing
