manny is not going to win this... im calling floyd by split decision... yep this will go 12 rounds...floyd will not take risks and will clinch every time mannytries to throw a combo and just counterpunch...manny will definitely throw more punches but floyd will land a lot more similar to the marquez fight...but ya mybday is march 11 so this will definitely be a good gift to watch this fight

Floyd was probably expecting Manny to ask for another catchweight of 145 lbs... so he went ahead and asked for 154 to settle at 147

I'm definitely not gonna be quick to say that Floyd wins this. By decision or KO. I actually think that PBF would have a hard time against Pac.
Look at it this way. Manny basically has to carry out what Judah had done to Mayweather. We can basically agree that the first few rounds of that fightdefinitely went to Judah. Unfortunately there was an instance where Judah actually knocked down Mayweather but the Ref didn't call it.
The only difference is that Manny will have more punch output that Zab had. So I'mpretty sure Manny would have a slight blueprint right now for his game plan.
I know counter-punching is a DEFINITE advantage for PBF but IMO most people skip one big advantage that PAC has against that. He DOES NOT TELEGRAPH his powerpunches. Look closely at his fights and you will notice. He's done it to Cotto, Hatton, all his opponents in the past, and even Marquez(That's how hegot his knockdowns on him). I actually even think that Manny has gotten better at learning not to telegraph his power punches since the last Marquez fight. YouCANNOT counter an opponent when you CANNOT read what he's about to do.
If Floyd decides to utilize the Shoulder Roll, which may I add that Pac already has an advantage over since he's a southpaw, he better pray that his Leftarm can take the punishment that both Pac's arms carry because there's only so much that one arm can take. Not too mention that they will be using 8Oz. gloves, not those 10 Oz. pillow gloves that fluff up a boxer's punches.
On top of everything else, Floyd needs time. All counter-punchers start slow since they have to feel out, then learn to adjust to their opponents. Thisautomatically gives Pac the advantage within the first few rounds, which is basically bad news for PBF since a lot of Pac's knockdowns have been during thefirst few rounds of the fight. (i.e. Cotto, Hatton, and Marquez 1 and 2.)
I'm not gonna say that either one is gonna win this easily. But all I'm saying is when you look at the advantages, you have to look at the bare bonesof it. Again I may be wrong, but this is what I see.
My 2 cents
