Hello mah friend. Here's my analysis of the fight;
1. Pac wins via spectacular fashion. All of Pac's losses came from opponents who stood their ground and tried to knock Manny out; Rustico, Medgoen, Morales, Marquez, even Bradley (although truly a robbery). All those who knocked down Manny are the ones who just traded punch for punch -Nadal Hussein, The Russian guy, Rustico, 3K, Marquez. Even those who had a KD although a slip; Barrerra and Mosely. All those who had their moments; Larios in 3rd round, Margarito in 5th, Cotto in 1st -2nd rounds. They were all not defensive guys. They come forward. i say again, Pac does not like to engage. He does that to ward off opponents into retreat mode. And then he will chase 'em. This will be the first time Floyd will have to taste a knockdown. Zab had the real first -it was ruled a slip by the ref. The KD against Pac will be legit. Floyd will be alien to that. He wont know what to do. He either try to slug or be in his bicycle once more. Either way, Pac wins convincingly. That's why Floyd has that rematch clause offered. And that shows how doubtful Floyd is. He already did that thrice; against Castillo, Oscar, and Maidana. He barely won those fights. He'll be lucky to escape a decision win on Pac.
2. Whoever wins will be big -and "big" is an understatement.. Forget about "Floyd does not need Manny" or "Manny doesnt need FLoyd". They're 1-2 in boxing. This fight is certainly for the ages.
3. Im glad you pointed that out. Floyd wont dare do that. He's a safety first fighter. I've been telling this the whole time. If FMJ was on Marquez' shoes during that dying seconds of the 6th round in December 2012, he'll duck that punch. That's why i applaud JMM. While being clobbered, and on a dangerous position, he nailed Pacquiao out cold.
4. FLoyd will be in aghast. Although FMJ is one heck of a speedster too, he would be in trouble with Pac's speed. When Pac swarms him, that spells trouble. The undefeated Ali got beaten by Frazier who's a swarmer. And i say Ali is both JMM and Floyd combined. Defensive fighters always had troubles against swarmers. Swarmers had trouble against counter punchers. That's what boxing history suggests. Floyd is a counter puncher. But he will be more of a defensive fighter on this fight against Manny.
5. Manny has been hit all throughout his bouts. That aint new to him.

A) Floyd wins by late KO. Pacquiao will begin patient but will eventually get tired of chasing and will take risks. The kind of reaches and risks that will leave him vulnerable for a fight ending series of shots.
B) For Pacquiao, he will perform well enough and losing to Floyd never hurt anyone... he is Floyd. For Floyd, the win wont give him the glory he deserves because some will dismiss it as him beating a Manny on the down side (like Marciano beating Louis).
3) Floyd will be smart and choose his spots to stand and trade and engage. Like the Maidana fights, he wont run...but unlike Maidana 1, he wont put himself in unneccsary danger.
4) Like Floyd's fight with Zab Judah (also a fast southpaw) he will take some rounds to deal with the early blitz and get Pacquiao's timinig down. From round 4, he will starts to handle it with a greater ease.
5) Pacquiao is a warrior so he will be willing to walk through the counters to get off his flurries. That will at some point be his downfall.

Manny takes rd 1 for sure.. Floyd has to feel Manny and not get careless.. I don think Floyd will try those sneaky sub pop shots until like rd 5 or 7.. Floyd is not gonna stay in the center of the ring and engage Manny as usual Floyd will try to break down his opponent... Buenis Duertes to both of them

Pacquiao will win by overwhelming him with speed, power and angle. Floyd will show his age with weak legs and he will try to run but be cut off by Pac. Pacs southpaw stance will catch him with a bunch of jabs as Floyds defensive stance is for orthodox fighters. Floyd will be hit a lot and retreat to the corner and be bombarded with shots by Pacquiao. I see this ending like a Cotto or a De La Hoya fight where refs will be forced to stop or Floyd will quit on the bench.

1. Mayweather by KO, 11th.
2. Mayweather will KO Manny is the biggest fight of all time, which will add to his legacy. People that never saw him fight or only a few times will remember him for knocking out Pacman.
3. Floyd will counter the living crap out of Manny. Manny fans will be cringing at how easily Manny is getting tagged flush on the face later in the fight.
4. I think Floyd will neutralize Manny, just like everyone else. Manny will have his 4 rounds, just like everyone else. Floyd will take over and it will be the same as all his fights.
5. Floyd will be able to counter. Are you crazy? He has longer arms than Manny. He is bigger than Manny. He is stronger than Manny. He is smarter than Manny. He is faster than Manny. You're crazy if you think Floyd isn't going to counter Manny, lol. It's Mayweather.

Surreal isn't it, I can't believe it either
1 Floyd will most likely win easily.
2 It will cement Floyds legacy with a win, and elevate Manny to mythical status if Pac upsets Floyd. Either way it is huge for the winner and damaging for the loser.
3 No, I think Floyd will box and counter all night long and win an easy decision.
4 Manny's speed is at best equal to Floyds, they cancel each other out.
5 All the significant advantages belong to Floyd, Manny is the underdog, Floyd the clear favorite.

Pacquiao had been postponing this fight for years hoping Mayweather would get old and worn out. Instead, Manny is the one who is the worse for wear. He should have fought Floyd before he started to get pounded. Mayweather will win the fight barring injury from head butts or low blows.

Dont worry, theres plenty more time for Floyd to cancel it :)
I hope to see a good fight, and that Pacman s gonna beat him XD

The more prepared boxer will win. Pac is the underdog, but just like basketball, the ball is round.
