I picked both Cotto and Canelo to beat Mayweather, I was wrong both Times. I have no idea who wins this fight. I actually think the scariest fight for Money May is Danny Garcia not Pac.
Manny has nothing to lose in this fight Mayweather has everything to lose IMO. If Pac wins he's back on top If Money wins he should immediately retire for he would have silenced all of his critics. This is going to be a good one. Expect a 3 fight series.

Mayweather isn't gonna fight anyone that can seriously challenge him anymore. he will fight old big names or up & comers that aren't ready so he can protect is zero. What does he have? like 4 to 6 fights left before he retires. he wont fight Garcia or anyone that has a real fighters chance. this Kahn fight coming up is a joke.
This fight is five years too late. Apparently, Chickenweather thinks time has finally eroded Pacquiao's skills enough that the Pac Man doesn't pose a threat to Chickenweather's undefeated record. I hope the Pac Man has been sandbagging.
I have watched and loved Manny for years. He will probably go down as one of my favorite athletes.
For a fighter to go through a gauntlet of some best Mexican fighters to ever step in the ring and beat all of them is pure greatness. Not to mention he is the only fighter to ever be an 8 division world champion.
His first fight Manny weighed 98 lbs. The rumor was he put rocks in his pocket to make the 105 weight limit.
Mayweather ..it's simple. I hate the guy with every fiber of my being. But the fact remains that he is the fastest and most accurate puncher to every step into the ring. He has no equal. I will also say this about Mayweather, he may have had 47 boxing matches but he has only been in a few fights. He's always been just a tad gutless in that he never wants to get inside and really mix it up.
The sad fact is that Manny has lost some speed and more important his energy level. Fighting Manny back in the day was a nightmare. You just could not keep him off you. On the flip side Manny is twice the boxer he used to be. He has come a long way from his days as a straight up brawler. And he is also has much more power.
In the end I can't see anything but the sad reality that this fight will go the way most Mayweathers fights go.
He is going to pepper Manny with that super fast jab that never misses and time his combinations accordingly.
The real problem with Mayweather is not his offense but his defense. He makes it impossible to get a glove on him. You expend a lot of energy just trying to land a punch.
Your fight against Mayweather consist of getting hit and swinging at someone who is not there. Nest thing you know it's the 12th round.
Manny does have a chance in this fight. Manny is always moving forward and some good head movement and if he can keep moving Mayweather he can avoid the worst of his offense. If you just stand in front of Mayweather, he will cut you to ribbons.
Manny is also really good at throwing punches from all angles that Mayweather may have trouble with. This coupled with that great straight left he throws ..... he just might pull it off.
Congrats to both men for finally putting this fight together. It's a shame it didn't happen 5 years ago. We should be talking about Pac-Mayweather III right now instead of the upcoming first and likely only fight between them.
