Whilst I admire Mayweather's skills, I just can't cheer for him. The reason I watch his fights is in the hope that someone knocks him out or at least knocks him down. I'm not sure Pac will manage to do it, but if anyone is equipped to do it in the sport right now, it's him.

Yes i agree, and people call Haye cocky.

Floyd for me, think it would be very close though.

He's just said Pacquiao is one-dimensional. Course he is, Floyd!!

My money would be heavily on Mayweather if the fight does happen to be honest, as much as I'd like to see Pac Man spark him.

Great performance from the Pac-man. He completely dismantled Cotto to a bloody mess.

Mayweather will be (hopefully) a different prospect. There were plenty of chinks in Pacquio's defence and a couple of times early on Cotto looked to cause him problems on the ropes. With Mayweathers blistering hand speed, stunning punch accuracy and utter illusiveness I think he could and probably would dismantle Pacquio.

People moan about Mayweather's arrogance but for me when someone's as good as he is I think they should be like Floyd in a way. Charachters like Floyd are what sets boxing apart from any other. And I don't know why but Manny seems fake to me and it seems like he is more interested in the celebrity than boxing.

Beat me to it.

I just love the way Manny fights. He is an attacking fighter and is alot more exciting to watch than Mayweather who is cagey and defensive.

Not now I don't think. I think he's comeback because he knows he needs to cement his legacy.

Plus the whole thing with Pacquiao getting a title shot despite not fighting at 147lbs really pi55ed me off. I've always said I don't think anyone up to 154lbs beats Mayweather and I still believe that (his performance against Marquez was one of the best displays I've ever seen). Floyd has as good a defense as anyone of the modern era, has better head movement and doesn't fight in straight lines like Cotto. The only chance Manny has IMO is to pressure him for 3 minutes every round like Castillo did.
