Mayweather would end up winning the Greatest Fight of our time. Manny would rock Floyd's Bell a few times early in the fight causing Mayweather to go into his zone, (which he hasen't been in this decade), but would end up KOing Manny late due the Magnitude of the Fight, and His Pride for Bragging Rights... The score cards would have it: Manny 4, Floyd 6. Mayweather with a 10 round KO....
Mayweather has never left his "zone" as it consists of Floyd Mayweather. If Manny gets distracted enough it will be through his humanatarian nature to help others. Mayweather never gets distracted from himself...........so it will probably be a rather disappointing fight. Floyd in his shell with his occassional flurry and the Pac Man trying to get him to go man to man for the true championship. Mayweather loves Mayweather, Manny loves fighting and helping others to possibly realize their dreams. Manny comes from a background few in the USA can imagine. I have a friend that grew up in the same town and knew Manny. This is basically a third world existance and if Manny should lose...........it would only be because nice guys finish last. Oh, I almost forgot, Pac has 7 titles, maybe nice guys can finish first. Floyd wants no part of Manny at this time in either of their careers. Bet on it!!!!!
1200+ punches thrown but only landing 20% won't get it done against a great defensive fighter and counterpuncher. Floyd wins by late round stoppage.
but he still won and the guy wouldn't even open up. So how in the world will mayweather win if that's the case.
Annakneemus-A fighter has to be into himself because there is no one in the ring to help you but you. There is no room in the squared circle for humanitarianism, none of that has anything to do with anything. The Pac man would be on his game, but I think that Mayweather would win a decision because he's a skilled seasoned boxer with more than one game plan.
That is just how I called the Mosely fight. You are on the money with that call. These other people are leading with too much emotion because they so much want Mayweather to lose.

Manny is a great fighter and might win. However, I think that he is "outgunned" by Floyd. Floyd is bigger and just as fast and he will protect himself fom Manny's awesome and fierce punches. Floyd will keep him at bay until he is tired and then hit Manny with all he has.
They are both excellent boxers and fine gentlemen. I personally respect them both.
If Floyd wins, and I think that he will, it will be after most of the rounds are fought and it will be by descision because Manny is so tough.
I just think from what I know about them that Floyd will win but it could go either way. Manny also has great endurance and can take hits as well as dish them out. The problem for Manny is that Floyd is bigger and just as superb.
diego corrales was undefeated and considered too big for mayweather. ricky hatton was undefeated and considered to tough for mayweather. arturo gatti was going too kayo mayweather. they were all stopped.sugar ray robinson was a master boxer. was he criticized for using his skills to defeat opponents? he boxed jake lamotta and defeated him several times. mayweather is a master boxer who will stop manny.
Then why doesn't he man up and do it. Manny has heart and Floyd has mouth. Manny is the better fighter.
btender- Mouth has nothing to do with it, they both have heart and they both have skills. Forget the personalities? Why won't Manny agree to the drug teat? If this were baseball then you would automatically think that the guy is juicing? The excuse is laughable. Floyd wins by decision or late round knockout.
An ape and monkey. Who would win?
"Would" is the right word, because this fight is not going to happen. For some reason, Mayweather is afraid. Perhaps he believes Pacquiao dopes; I don't know.
Mayweather is not asking Manny to do anything that he wouldn't do. So who is ducking Who?
Pacs corner after the Clottey fight - Let the boxing commission do their job, and let the fighters do their job. In essence, stop trying to make your own rules, and just fight us you punk!
Mayweather after Mosley fight - WAAAA if he doesn't do everything I want him to and the fight isn't exactly how I want it to be, I'm going to wipe my tampon on his face and cry WAAAAAAAA!!
Definately would be a great fight to watch though
If you guys have not boxed a single round in your lifetime let me tell you that mentally Mayweather Jr. already lost the battle. To step inside a ring to face a monster is no easy task. He is afraid to confront Pacquiao right now. Floyd Jr. is forced to fight Mosley and could outpoint him but Shane actually has a punchers chance here. Mayweather needs to man up and make his fists do the talking.
I don't think so, I was an amateur boxer and I actually think Mayweather has the mental advantage because if the fights happens it will be on Mayweather's terms and If Pacquiao was doping then he'll feel less confident without it and if he wasn't then he still had to give in to Floyd's demands giving Floyd the Master's edge.
correction: "coward's edge" and not "master's edge."
The only "dope" that Mayweather alludes to is himself!
And you're a "dope" to have that opinion.
After watching Pacquiao punish and destroy Morales, Barrera, Hatton,De La Hoya, Cotto and Clottey. I'm not so sure anymore. The guy's too quiet, almost noble. He was absolutely puny next to Clottey during the weigh in who was half a head taller, heavier with a much longer reach - and this little dude just handed him his ass. UNBELIEVABLE!! Clottey said that it was the first time he had ever really lost a fight (referring to his split decision losses from before).
I'm going with Pacquiao from now on. Less talk more action.
Look Manny has a hard time against great Boxers ie Morales, Marquez. These two fighter alone are great boxers. It not all about power but ring generalship. Floyd is a great boxer just like Morales, and Marquez. Not a lot of power but the talent to control the fight. If Clottey had more speed and more talent the fight would have been different. Floyd rarely gets hit, makes other boxers miss and makes them pay for it. Manny is aggressive and that fits right into a superior counter punchers game. So for those jumping on the Manny bandwagon go watch his fights that he had against real boxers.
I guess Pac Man won 7 titles by fightning a bunch of nobodies. Thanks for clearing that up for all of us.
Just remember never under estimate a boxer. I believe that Mayweather will
win this fight, remember he has never lost a fight & pac man has lost. And he has never face a fighter like mayweather who his young and powerful. After seeing the fight with mosley I am convience that mayweather is better.
My money is on mayweather. I like Pacman but I think is time is up he seems to be doing other thinks.
Floyd MayNotWeather the storm but instead MayWither under the just as fast Manny Pacquiao. Why? Because Manny is a clever left-handed boxer with a superior coach and an excellent fitness trainer/nutritionist It will be a great fight but Manny should prevail with a knockout or or unanimous decision win.

No dought Floyd! More power, better boxer,and smarter!
Yea Longtime boxing fan said it best. He has a excellent nutritionist lol. Yea its funny how he gets this new nutritionist and his power increases in his thirties. I guess baseball fans only raise eyebrows at behaviors like this. Big Mac Bonds. The other manny. Granted they all were pretty good before supplements, but it took them to a new level in there ladder. Same with manny. And Clottey landed upper cuts at will on manny and was jabbing him knocking his head back often. You think if he was a little bick quicker and could move after the punch or smart enuff to tie em up the fight would have been diff. Yea i think you know what im gettng at.
Well they get tested right after the fight, I don't know what you are getting at
PED are taken prior to the event during training, timed perfectly so it becomes undetectable after a certain amount of time. If an athlete knows when he/she is being tested, it defeats the purpose of the test. Why do you think olympic testing is random?
Mayweather is just a p***y, afraid to have his a$$ handed to him
What is the problem with the blood test right after the match? Will things change over a couple of hours.
Mayweather grow a pair so Pacquio can crush them for you !!!!
Lets Fight
mayweather would win easy. classic case of a counter puncher vs a punching phenom. but counter puncher will win. cause mayweather is the greatest fighter of this era. manny hasnt been tested. all the opponents are handpicked.
You are so right! Pac Man has been given all 7 titles by a bunch of fights against losers. ;)
Pacquiao's too good for him. Of course Mayweather will loose, and maybe, just maybe, it'll teach him a lesson on humility.
Manny will KO Floyd. I don't think Floyd could take Manny's punches. Floyd was hurt on the early rounds against Hatton and Manny is way better than Hatton. He could easily KO Floyd if the fight happens but I doubt it will because Floyd might loose against Shane and if he wins he might make more excuses not fight Manny. He's been proven a pussy & ducker of all times. He's good in that. That's why when Cotto was on his prime or undefeated he retires because he's too afraid to fight Cotto.
HANDPICKED ???!!! What a DOPE u r! Pacquiao fights the best thats WILLING (cowardly Mayweather ha ha) to fight him & has continuously succeeded.
Only 1 way to find out. Come on fight him Floyd !!!
Manny pacquiao will win by late round stoppage or decision in the end for some of those loosers saying pac ha never fought a real fighter and hand picked ur on something. Morales, barrerra, jmm, dela hoya, hatton, cotto, and now clottey are alll great fighters only good fighter i see floydd ever fought with was baldomir only welterweight that was good on floyds resume. Pacquiao executed all his oppenents and ko and tko them if u see floydds wins are majority decisioned. He had a hard time with hatton in the beginning And de la hoya which i think floyd only won by small points. Zab juddah would of whooped him but he gassed out on the 6th rounds. Floyd cant take agressive fighters manny pacquiao can go on through out rounds with out tiring and fires like a machine. He is a well conditioned boxer and a complete package then how he was during his young boxing career with morales a one left hander becomes now a two hander power puncher. You see how manny controls the ring with his foot work, hes balance, how he sticks with the game plan and executes it well. Last night the clottey fight he has pratically about the same defence as floydd ho stays in there shell comes out throw punches hen ready if u didn see the clottey fight u need too cuz this will be one of pacs strategy pounding floydds body slip thru punches on his defence n win by decision. U know why? Floyd doesnt throw enough punches he picks his spots he will hit manny but manny will come back 5 more punches after him gaurantee u that.
First of all...let's learn how to spell, sports fans!!! Mayweather will lose ( not loose ), GOT IT ?? Maybe the boxing commission should demand a blood test to check for performance enhancing drugs for all boxers...but until there is some proof, shut the hell up and fight , "Pity Boy" Floyd.
You guys obviously know nothing about performance drug testing. If Little Manny has his way, none of the drugs that Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, a gajillion other Tour DeFrance winners have used to cheat would show up. Weight classes exist for a reason, it's so that little guys don't get destroyed. These are all professionals and relatively even for skills. So what's Manny on?
