Mayweather by knockout

Pabinator · 12-03-09, 01:32 PM

Please do tell how you know this? You do know Pacman is on the juice right?

Dont get me wrong, I do think Mayweather will win, just not by KO, but I'd love to see it.

BobHarvey · 12-03-09, 03:23 PM

Manny stuns the world and KO's Mayweather. Mark this date and save this thread. It WILL happen. Then Manny retires to a life as a congresman and eventually president of the Phillipines.

Mayweather can run but he can't hide.

Floyd Mayweather's defense is too good. Pacquiao is a great puncher... but not much else. floyd's defense can handle pacquiaos attack. hes gonna draw him back with the left jab everytime manny takes a step to get inside.. and manny's never going to be able to get close enough to launch that punching spree shit.

Floyd Mayweathers defense is too good.

When great offenses meet great defenses...

great defenses win.

RealSlimShady · 12-08-09, 12:49 PM

Mayweather is a small fav now, about -125. Will this line go up or down from here?

koby25 · 12-08-09, 12:53 PM

Mayweather will win to much defense.

pat venditto · 12-08-09, 01:20 PM

Realslimshady its hard to say where the line will move. All depends on how hard to public will pound who. I think the line won't move more than 20 cents either way though.

Boddhissatva · 12-08-09, 01:38 PM

Logic tells me PBF...

my heart, soul, and Asian Pride tell me Pacman...

I can't bet against Pacquiao...
I'm just going to watch this and pray for the best.

THEGREAT30 · 12-08-09, 01:52 PM

I think Mayweather is the better boxer but I feel like this will be a fight. They only have like 3 months to train which seams to little for the best fight in atleast 5 years, really more. I think Pac can win because of this short timeframe to study and train, being that he is the better fighter not boxer. I don't know, this is a tricky one, it is suspicious to me that this thing will take place with such a small training window.

eidolon · 12-08-09, 01:56 PM

they are setting it up so soon, so their can be a rematch a year later.

Agreed, that's why I kinda think Pac will win because why would Mayweather even care to have a rematch with a guy that then has 4 losses.

Trixie · 12-08-09, 10:05 PM

I don't get when people say Pac won't find Mayweather. Even a bloated Marquez found Mayweather a bunch of times and he looks like cement hardening compared to Pacquiao. Floyd's defence is downgraded because Pac is a leftie. I'm a Floyd fan but I don't like his chances here, especially given the brittle hands meaning his punch volume is limited. The thing he has going for him is his jab and the number of times the much slower Cotto was able to tag Pac with it coming in. IMO Floyd is gonna be overwhelmed.

Trixie · 12-08-09, 10:06 PM

It's tough to say whether the line will move or not because I truly don't think the books have any idea about this one. When it first opened, Pac was the fav.

SBR Lou · 12-08-09, 10:09 PM

If Floyd fights beyond his prime he'll obviously lose a match or two, but I still think the guy is the best boxer in the world. It'll be hard for Floyd to turn down the eight figure paydays even as he inevitably loses a step or two.

flyingillini · 12-08-09, 11:09 PM

May Jesus Christ Bless both the fighters on fight day. I pray for a clean bout and nobody gets hurt.

Ced's shadow · 12-08-09, 11:12 PM

Don't think so, Pacquiao may've been a little lousy in his last fight vs Cotto but he's still a tornado in the ring, he'll knock-out Mayweather by the 5th-6th

frostno98 · 12-08-09, 11:16 PM

Mayweather doesn't impress me. He didn't do d1ck against Delohoya, while Pacman destroyed him. I think Mayweather will probably win, just running around like that DLH fight. He'll land enough punches to get the judge on his side. If he goes toe to toe with Pacman, Pacman's speed will be too much for him and he'll lose.

Trixie · 12-09-09, 01:00 AM

Umm.. Pac was a little lousy in his last fight?

If he fought Cotto with the speed we saw on his 2 previos fights he would've knocked him out in the 3th or the 4th, he still did well, but not outstandingly well.

twister · 12-09-09, 01:06 AM

Pacman doesn't stand a chance unfortunately. Mayweather will win on points. Don't be surprised with a 118-110 scorecard.

yasinthomas · 12-09-09, 01:20 AM

No i have never heard of this can you please tell me what is this....i am very interested to know about it.......i will be thankful to you for sharing informations

Hmm. Pac made history by winning a record seventh world title in seven different weight categories and became the only boxer in history to win the lineal championship in four divisions. And he did that beating the consensus #3 welterweight on the planet.

Also, this was not outstanding, apparently.

MonkeyF0cker · 12-09-09, 03:41 AM

I'll be on Pacman but small...

xxdjstriderxx · 12-09-09, 05:13 AM

konck · 12-09-09, 05:38 AM

I think Pacman is way to fast

Ian · 12-10-09, 12:11 AM

I think Mayweather deserves to be the favorite, but I think a Mayweather KO is less likely than a Paq KO, Paq Dec., or Mayweather dec. I think Floyd will be content to play defense most of the time, pop Paq with jabs and do some counterpunching. If he gets to aggressive I think he's going to lose the handspeed war.

Did you see the fight with Cotto?... That was not Pacquiao at his best... Was he?

I do agree as I did on my first post on this thread he'll win if he fights like we all know him

pico · 12-10-09, 12:28 AM

mayweather split dec.

you heard it from me first

Trixie · 12-10-09, 01:14 AM

I honestly can't think of a better full-fight performance. He looked outstanding against De La Hoya but that was largely due to Oscar being weight-drained and essentially a corpse of his former self. He looked outstanding against Hatton but that was largely due to Hatton being marginally overrated to begin with, trying to incorporate a new style after a couple of months with a new trainer, and his incredible susceptibility to get hit with a lead left hook.

Against Cotto, a (sure, arguably declining post-Margarito) top 3 welterweight, Pacquiao never at any point was in trouble. He gave Cotto the first round because he wanted to test to see if he could take his power, and then ensuring that he could, he took off and never looked back, winning round 2, knocking Cotto down in round 3, knocking him down in round 4, and then killing the fight off for all intents and purposes in rounds 5-9. Pac absolutely and completely dominated Cotto.

I've seen the fight 6 or 7 times now and I'm convinced it is the best and most exciting performance I've seen from him.

I don't say it was a bad fight, but there's no comparison to the one he had with De la Hoya, agreed, De la Hoya was not at his best and actually could've been better on his side, but he was already retiring and Pacquiao did prove a worthy opponent for the ocassion as he offered a great show along with his foe. In my opinion though, comparing Pacquiao at that moment with the Pacquiao we all saw vs Cotto would be an insult to the godly swift image we had from him on those two fights and the ones before, he may be more intelligent but we all like the show... Could've just gone back to his old hit-run style considering the tornado-like speed I always use to describe him and would've won the fight in 3 rounds easy, much more of a thrill considering the class of contendant he had.

Gonna_Win · 12-10-09, 01:55 AM

I would go with Pacman to win this fight

Bigmikesm · 12-10-09, 02:28 AM

no knockouts in this fight

Trixie · 12-11-09, 01:07 AM

Disagree

He takes way too many punches and doesn't get bruised.

Philavanh · 12-11-09, 08:53 PM

Either way gonna be a great fight.......I do agree that fight setup was too fast, need more time.......but again, could be use to setup rematch after Manny wins
