    Anyway, I would never bet enough that it would make a difference in the long run if I won or lost, but I don't see Pac having any chance, there is no element of surprise in this fight. Floyd will have a plan and I don't see Pac having the power anymore to catch him, hurt him, and follow through and finish him. I also don't see Pac having the endurance and speed to smother him with 100 punches a round.

    Basically that's the only way I see how someone can beat Floyd is have a thunder cannon of a punch and catch him, but the power guys are too slow to pull that off, or smother him with punches from all different angles and keep the heat on the entire fight. Anyone throwing less than 60 punches per round against Floyd is going to lose in a snoozefest.

    I honestly think Floyd was ducking a prime Pac because he had speed, volume, and power. He was a nightmare for everyone, but maybe he was using performance enhancers, because he seemed to regress rather quickly.

    I agree with alot of your points but I think Floyd has slowed down just enough where he is vulnerable to getting caught and his legs arent quite what they used to be to get out of danger. I just see these visions of a slow Maidana catching and hurting him and I can only see him getting caught at some point by a quicker Pacquio. This is what makes the fight interesting to me. They both have slowed down enough to where this will be a technical slugfest....

      Just BTW... I illustrated the official Ring Magazine cover for the fight edition

      It hits shelves 3/24.

      As for the fight itself, as much as I'd love to see Pac win, I think Floyd takes a split decision win, with the slim possibility of a KO via a nasty counter if Manny decides to start lunging in. I hope not though. I'd kill for a Manny KO/TKO.

                    Unfortunately this fight is probably 4-5 years too late. Will probably still generate an unbelievable amount of revenue, but from a pure boxing standpoint, this won't be the show that we could have gotten.

                    In addition, after Pacquiao got knocked out by Marquez, he really hasn't been the same. There have been multiple former fighters that it takes quite a few years to recover from something like that. You could even make the argument that he had been declining his previous two fights, as both were fairly controversial wins.

                    Even if this fight were to have happened those 4-5 years ago, I still think Floyd wins easily. I do think Pacquiao is a great fighter, but Floyd is in another stratosphere at this stage. An absolute tactician in the ring, and maybe one of the most driven, prepared fighters that boxing has ever seen. I just feel that Floyd is going to pick him apart from round one until he either stops the fight or it goes to a decision.

                      Algieri and the second Bradley fight were controversial? I must of missed something.

                        The two fights before that Marquez knockout. Didn't mean to say two wins.

                          OK, so how do you use the controversy of Pacquiao getting robbed in the first Bradley fight to show him declining?

                          Yeah, some thought Marquez won their third fight (the one before Pac gets KOed), but opinions were pretty split.

                            Because he lacked the aggression and power that we generally see from Manny in later rounds. Once Bradley made an adjustment around the 6th, 7th round, Manny wasn't able to adjust his gameplan to get inside and really hurt Bradley again. Wasn't sure if it was fatigue, or a slight loss of power, but it wasn't something that I was used to seeing from him.

                              He still beat a world class fighter handily, despite the score cards.

                              So Floyd gets "on the rise" points for his two bouts with Maidana? Please don't play the "awkward style" card.

                              Neither fighter's skill level is peaking.

                                Then you can say the same for Floyd if that is the angle you are looking to take.

                                The point is if measuring the two fighter's peaks, Floyd is in another class in comparison to Manny and has been for some time. Not just in the last two fights.
