Who would win in a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather?

After Manny Pacquiao knocked out Miguel Cotto in the 12th round on Saturday night, it didn’t take long for everybody and their mothers to start talking about the person they’d like to see Pac-Man fight next: Floyd Mayweather. Manny has said all along that he wants a piece of Mayweather, but Pretty Boy Floyd has been hesitant to sign up. Many believe Mayweather can match Pacquiao’s speed, while others think Pac-Man has better footwork and more skill.

What do you guys predict would happen if they squared off in the spring?

    Pacquiao will win. Mayweather will dodge and defend some of his punches, but Pacquiao will never, ever tire and he’ll just keep his offense going and going even for the full 12. As good as Mayweather is, no way he’ll not get tagged with some of those Pacquiao punches. Pacquiao can and will hang with Mayweather.

    Of course Floyd is undefeated as someone mentioned earlier but I can name a whole bunch of undefeated boxers you never heard of. besides if you pick and choose your fighters your whole career that you know you can beat..yea you would be undefeated too..

    Manny will beat Floyd all day, Floyd never really fought power punchers like that…and please dont say old ass De la Hoya or Hatton..which by the way..Manny beat way worse than Floyd did…

    Floyd will use the fact that Manny won’t take 70 – 30 of the purse (which in fact is an insult to Manny..he’s earned his right to get 50 – 50 or at least 60-40). That will be his reasoning of not fighting.

    Manny fought a dude that hits harder than half the dudes he fought in his career..a true welterweight with power and came thru the winner..If he can run thru a dude like Cotto..what is he gonna do to Floyd??? who has no punching power..he has speed..so does Manny.plus his stamina is no joke..he can fight 24 rounds…Floyd too but Manny doesnt lose his power ..so believe what you want..but Manny will take him out…point blank period..

    Oh and @Big V…good observation..he was knocked down by Zab, Zab was hanging with him in that fight..and thats not saying a lot for Floyd…

    Chicagorilla usually doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to hoops but boxing he’s right on.

    Mayweathers been knocked Down by Judah, did i miss something? let me google this shit.

    results:
    “It appeared that Judah scored a knockdown in the second round when Mayweather’s glove touched the canvas; however, referee Richard Steele ruled it a slip”

    and arguing that Mayweather was mearly knocked down by Judah (who had one loss at the time and was a very good fighter at that time) vs. Pac-man racking up 3 LOSSES and 2 draws while losing to good fighters, nither of them are all-time greats.

    Side Note to idiots: Mayweather has ZERO losses and ZERO draws

    As exciting a fighter as Pac-man is, His style is perfect fit to be knocked out by Mayweather.
    I think Pac-man is more exciting than Floyd, but in a technical sport like boxing, Floyd will win, because there is no one more technical than Floyd. Not to mention his speedy hands and he’s bigger than Pac-man and is just as great of shape.

    @54,

    You usually only know what you’re talking about when it comes to f^king sheep in your barn. But you are right on when it comes to boxing.

    Also, did anyone notice Pac-man’s facial expression change when the old guy asked him about fighting Mayweather? He almost pissed himself. Then he dodged the question.

    Chicagorilla, you must be tripping if you think Manny’s losses and draws occurred in the “prime” of his career. He should have won the first fight with JMM, but one judge scored the first round 10-7 instead of 10-6. Manny has been consistently getting better over the last 8 years. In addition, he’s been moving up through the weight classes and has been destroying his competition.

    When was Floyd’s last significant, dominating win over a worthy competitor? All-time greats fight the fights that the fans want to see. Why hasn’t Mayweather fought Margarito, Williams or Mosley? Perhaps he’s more concerned about maintaining his perfect record, than actually proving he’s the best in the sport.

  • the cynic

    ^ He doesn’t fight Margarito because he is scared to get hit with the same cement filled gloves that ruined Cotto mentally, can’t say that I blame him

    Thanks Cynic lol. Purely asking but has Pacman fought Williams or Mosley? If so could someone please refresh the memory?

    Margarito Well see cynic’s comment again.

    Facts are facts. You can make all the excuses in the world but whether he was a baby, had the runs, in or out of his prime or a bad case of acne… Pac Man has lost before more than 1nce.

    Mayweather regardless of fighting kids, the neighborhood wino, ya granny or whoever has not lost.

    Mind you Mayweather has actually fought some very tough opponents but he beat them so bad they were as he termed one he made quit “C grade” fighters (when compared to him).

    Perhaps Pacman is Mayweather’s kryptonite but even still Superman usually always comes out the winner.

    If and when Floyd fights him, Floyd will win.

  • Jason

    POPPI GEE, up until last year Manny had never fought above 130 lbs. In the past year and a half he’s fought, and destroyed, guys at 135-147 lbs. He’s only fought 4 fights above 130 lbs so, no, he hasn’t fought Williams or Mosley.

    However, Mayweather has been a welterweight since 2005 and he picks on a lightweight for his comeback fight when there were more lucrative and fair fights out there. Floyd could have fought Margarito, Cotto, and Mosley before he retired (and, before the loaded gloves controversy).

    And, yes, Manny has some blemishes on his record. But, if you think the Pacquiao that sustained those losses is the same Pacman today, then you haven’t been paying attention.

    I’d rather see Mayweather challenge a true WW before taking on Pacquiao. But, this is the fight that fans want to see.

  • http://twitter.com/PoppiGEE POPPI GEE

    Jason I can agree with wanting to see Mayweather challenging a true WW first.

    Still even with Pacman changing the same goes for Mayweather. He alters his game plan for each fighter in particular and please know that as a student of the game he isn’t going to go into the Pac Man fight willy nilly (yea I said willy nilly lol).

    Floyd ain’t ducking, in as much as Floyd is being caculated in time, place, money and motivation. Those and other factors are important.

    The same way Roy Jones was caculated before trying to do to much and the same way B-Hop caculates who he will fight.

    You shouldn’t just fight anyone who looks like they may be a challenge but think it out and as long as he keeps beating who is in front of him, which he has then really you can’t say to much.

    Look at Ricky Hatton, people thought he was going to end Floyd and he even popped off about it, and you see how Floyd just played with him. Yet Floyd fought him when he knew it was right for him. Can’t hate a man for looking out for his own best interest.

    Again Pacquiao may be Floyd’s toughest battle, but in the end I got Floyd winning.

  • bola

    i still remember an article posted on this page before the pacquiao-cotto match-up.. all those who commented (at least by the time i checked it) all picked Cotto for the W… So the doubters can now shut the fuck up.. i’m still sticking with manny on this one even if the odds are against him when he faces floyd.

    di ko tanda pangalan nyo pero tang-ina nyong mga balimbing!

  • e
