    mayweather is the worlds best defensive fighter. excellent at not getting hurt with below average knockout power. the best case senario for mayweather is a draw or a controversial win, the worst case for him seems like a loss via decision.

    pacquiao is an excellent offensive fighter with mad evasion skills and rock hard fortitude. i dont think mayweather can defend against this type of offense. boxing is points scored via connection not via running away or defending against. it is simply unfathomable that mayweather will connect more than pacman. it is simply not in his play style to throw a lot of punches.

    while on paper pacman may seem to stand no chance against mayweather. they're play styles and historical matches simply suggest pacman can win.

    btw, mayweather sr.publicly confirmed that he doesnt want his son to fight the pacman and his words were "i have my own reasons"

    i think we may have the same rationale concerning this fight.

    and thats the bottom line.

    The reason why Sr. Gayweather said that he doesn't want Jr. Gayweather to fight Pacquaio because he knows that only PACQUAIO can give a record of DEFEAT TO FLOYD GAYWEATHER! Sr. Gayweather also knows that his son will lose to Pacquaio because JR. GAYWEATHER DON'T STAND ANY CHANCE AT ALL. AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!!!

    just saw baldomir vs mayweather omg if he keeps dancing around like that without even have the balls to brawl once and give the fans some action he should just fucking retire. If he should do that against pacman if they meet then fuck him

    A man too afraid to face defeat is not a man. If Pacman loses, he's still a man; if Mayweather loses....I don't know, the man is too afraid to lose; he dodged the best boxers.

    Pacquiao will win enough said. Mayweather does not have the power and punch combos that Manny has. If manny can handle Cotto's hard punches there is no doubt that the only way Mayweather will win is by decision and not by hurting Manny or KO.

    its sample,if mayweather always run he is not a true fighter.coz a true fighter is not afraid to loss.everybody want to see mayweather how to fight manny.

    mayweather is good but,i think his skills is no match with manny's skill specially the fire power of both his hands....for floyd be brave enough to fight face to face with manny......ok mayweather prove your self that your a real fighter............

    CrackroidGAYFEATHER is on roids cause when he came out of retirement he still has his speed,skill and power when fighting midgets.He has big muscles,over grown crackroid watermelon head and 2 sets of lips one on his face and one between his legs. One might say his pretty LIPPY AND A PU#@Y.

    Mayweather Jr., defeated Pacquiao by WORDS But not by ACTION that's why, Mayweather Jr. has so many reasons, alibi But SImply an EXIT....
    What a wise GUY... You can never hide the truth...MAYBE,IF THE FIGHT POST THROUGH, THIS IS THE FIRST DEFEAT OF MAYWEATHER JR. and also but BY KNOCKOUT TOO.
