i think Pac man will do mayweather.. whats really impressive is his knockout power.. he started off as a featherweight, and is knocking out light welterweights.. the way he ko'd ricky (i have a small cock) hatton was devastating.. and he did a number on Cotto was exceptional.. he just seems to keep getting better and better, and he has the best trainer in the business too..
the interesting thing is what weight they fight at.

Presuming the fight does go ahead,its manny's speed v floyd's defense - if floyd times him,he definitely can counter manny enough -its manny's repeated angles of attack is what will trouble pbf - manny on points if it ever is made

great clip nbt - great boxer though he is,his hypocrisy stinks to high heaven - when pushed into mosley challenge after marquez fight,pbf similarly ducked into 'talk to my promoters' answer. Would have orig favoured mayweather in pacman fight due to his superior(?) craft but now manny looks like he's in the peak of his powers and is just too unorthodox for mayweather - be brilliant if it takes place and almost guaranteed a great fight as manny would pressure pb into a confrontation - here's hoping .....
The opinion of a former pro boxer
Manny was sensational, I mean he keeps getting better and wowing everyone with each seemingly harder challenge.
His speed, power, and reflexes where just on such a higher level that Miguel's. Cotto's defense let him down as I suspected it would as the fight wore on.
Before this fight if you watched the Cotto-Clottey fight you saw Cotto backing away with his hands low and had just too many gaps in his defense for a fighter with Manny's speed and ability to punch in off of crafty angles.
That's what beat Miguel plain and simple. In the 24/7 leading up to the fight you saw the speed difference and the body language difference was huge. We can now say that Cotto is done.
The Mayweather fight WILL get done and it's a very tough fight to call. Manny has so much fucking momentum now, what will it take to beat him?
Consider...
Who was the last fighter to give Pacquiao tons of problems and really beat him? That fight wasn't that long ago and the style that caused Manny lots of problems that night Floyd can dish out and then some.
Styles make fights, De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto all wore down and in Hatton's case immediately overwhelmed into ass beatings... BUT, what happens when Manny doesn't get his way? Whatch the Marquez fight. See the frustration and lack of focus appear? His aggression isn't the same, he hesitates. Again, That fight wasn't that long ago.
If there is a fighter who can capitalize on what Marquez did to Pacquiao, it's Floyd and as Floyd displayed, he's bigger, faster, stronger than Marquez with the ability to dish that style right back at Manny, that's dangerous.
I'm not saying Mayweather beats Manny I'm just asking to consider the style that tames the beast in Manny. You see, that's the beauty of the sweet science, certain fighters have styles that can diffuse seemingly indestructible fire power in other fighters, as long as they don't cooperated and execute what they know.
Mayweather also has problems with speed, reflexes, crafty footwork and timing, but he has proved he can adjust and dominate. While Manny barely pulled it out against the style that off set everything he does well. Then again Manny punches in on so many different odd angles, this along with his ever rise in strength, power, and speed could really have Floyd reacting and not dictating during the fight.
LOTS of intangibles to consider. I'll be going for Pacquiao and I think he's P4P the best hands down now for what he's done. BIG props to him and his team!
I won't pick a winner till the fight is made though.
