So are you saying Manny's putting old pics up on Instagram because this doesn't look flabby to me.

Nope. Manny is much smaller than Maidana and he's not a dirty fighter but that doesn't mean he cannot come with a better gameplan I doubt it though because Roach is not a better coach than Robert Garcia. I don't care how many times they give him coach of the year even when he been losing more than winning.

Redemption is Coming
Yes but he was eating that right hand all night and was getting out of position. Manny destroyed him but it doesn't cover for all the right hands he was landing cleanly on Manny
Wladimir Klitschko: Mayweather
"I think on the boxing side, slight advantage for Mayweather—51 percent for Mayweather and 49 percent for Pacquiao. As a person, I like Pacquiao better than Mayweather, but from a boxing standpoint, I think that Mayweather has a better chance to win this fight."
Chris Algieri: Mayweather
“I think he (Manny) can actually give Floyd a run in this fight,” Still, “I’m going with Floyd…its styles.”
Keith Thurman: Mayweather
“I lean towards Mayweather,” “He hasn’t shown us anything to doubt him. He is pound for pound the best.” He’s gonna pot shot with the jab to the stomach, the jab to the head, like he likes, and he’s gonna mix up his power punches.”
Paulie Malignaggi: Mayweather
“The primary reason why I pick Floyd Mayweather to win on May 2, is I think he has a better control of range.”
Iran Barkley: Mayweather
"I think Mayweather wins a decision,"
"He's too fast. He has to be careful though, he can't get careless against 'Pac Man.' But Mayweather will win."
Sugar Ray Leonard: Mayweather
“I would say I lean toward Mayweather because he hasn’t tasted defeat and he doesn’t want to taste defeat. And I look at Pacquiao and I see a guy, a champion, who is equipped with such speed and power and unfortunately he was KO'd big-time by Marquez.
Sergio Mora: Mayweather
“I think earlier in their careers, Pacquiao could have challenged and possibly gotten the better of Mayweather (Mayweather on a bad night, that is). I think Floyd is one of the most naturally gifted, self disciplined fighters in boxing history. I don’t think this 2015 version of Manny Pacquiao can beat Floyd Mayweather – especially with all the stringent, Olympic style blood testing being administered. It’s Mayweather by decision for me.”
Glen Johnson: Mayweather
“I believe Mayweather will win the fight by unanimous decision. Pacquiao isn’t fighting with the energy he had five years ago, when he had the best chance he had of beating Mayweather. That’s the kind of urgency he needs now in order for him to beat Mayweather. He will lose the fight, he doesn’t have what it takes to beat Mayweather.”
Mike Tyson: Pacquiao
‘I thought from the start that Paquiao is going to win. This guy is perpetual motion. He comes from every angle. He’s all energy. Always throwing punches. Never stops.
‘Floyd tucks in and picks his shots and he is more accurate. But he doesn’t throw anything like Manny’s hundred punches a round.
Sergio Martinez: Mayweather
“Floyd Mayweather can have Manny for breakfast, lunch or anything,” “Pacquiao is still a long way from being ready.” “This was never too much of a fight to me, because Mayweather is in a league of his own.”
Kell Brook: Mayweather
“I believe Mayweather’s going to win the fight.”
Amir Khan: Mayweather
“I believe Mayweather’s going to win the fight,”
Mikey Garcia: Mayweather
“First three or four rounds, Pacquiao’s aggressive, making a good fight. But then Mayweather starts outboxing him, figures something out and just takes control.”
Roy Jones Jr. : Pacquiao
Thinks FMJ needs a KO to win. Dosn't pick a winner but it's almost like picking Pacquiao.
"You don’t get Mayweather to engage. Pacquiao’s plan should be to outwork Mayweather and outpoint. He’s not going to be able to force Mayweather to engage. He can do what he wants to do and try, but he can’t force a defensive fighter who’s that skilled and defensive. You can’t make him engage. I think Floyd will have to knockout Pacquiao to win. If there’s a decision, I think Pacquiao wins the decision,"
Joel Diaz (the trainer of Timothy Bradley): Mayweather
"If Manny gives Floyd time and space, Floyd will pick him apart,"
"And when Manny starts missing punches he starts to tire up a little bit. You have to make him think. That slows him down."
"Manny wants you to come to him. When that happens, it's like running into a train," Diaz said. "Floyd won't do that. For Manny to win he has to attack and that's going to be difficult for 12 rounds without making a mistake.
Joe Goossen: Mayweather
"How do you pick anyone over Mayweather?" It's kinda like a bad bet."
"There's no denying Floyd Mayweather has beaten the greatest fighters of our generation. And sometimes quite easily."
Andre Ward: Mayweather
If I look at the track records I've always seen him do the ajustments, period. So there's no reasons I don't see him do the ajustments in this fight.
I'm always gonna lean toward Floyd.
Ignacio Beristain: Pacquiao
I know very well Pacquiao, I've seen him fight many times. He's very good. And everybody picks Mayweather to win the fight because he wins so much against easy fighters, but Pacquiao is just too tough, too strong."
Virgil Hunter: Mayweather
“Again I kind of have to go with Mayweather in that match-up because what I’ve seen from Manny is he hasn’t made that seasoned transition yet, and what I mean by that is he still fights at that high energy, frenetic pace, and you know at his age that style should’ve been relaxed by now and he knows when to turn it on and turn it off.”
George Foreman: Pacquiao
"Mayweather loses the first 3 rounds, he does that all the time. He would not be able to catch up, al tough he will finish stronger. But I'll give it
to Pacquiao by 1 round"
Joe Calzaghe: Mayweather
"Pacquiao can fight and there's always one great fight left in somebody, But I think the win will go to Mayweather."
Teddy Atlas: Pacquiao
Mayweather’s greatest strength is also his weakness…his defense,”
Pacquiao can win the close rounds by out-hustling or outworking Mayweather. Manny has the feet to get to Floyd, and also has the speed to let his hands go when he does.”
Roberto Duran: Pacquiao
“I have always had thought Pacquiao would win…because ive studied Pacquiao’s fight as I have also Mayweather’s”
“Remember in life, anyone could be fooled. So they could fool me. But I think Pacquiao is going to beat him.”
Oscar De La Hoya: Mayweather
“My head tells me that Mayweather will win but my heart tells me Pacquiao. I’m not the biggest fan of Mayweather so I’d most definitely like to see Pacquiao win.”
Shane Mosley:Mayweather
I think that Mayweather has the speed and the movement and the ability to win, this is the tyoe of fight that could go either way, but my pick is definetly Mayweather
Lennox Lewis: Mayweather
I think if it goes the distance Mayweather's going to win. I think Mayweather's movement is to quick and I still believe if you can't catch it you can't hit it.
Bernard Hopkins: Mayweather
Well first of all I think the first six rounds of this 12 rounds fight peoples gonna get the money worth early. And after six rounds Mayweather will make the adjustments and win a decision.
I don't think is gonna be a unianimous I think is gonna be, maybe a controversial decision.
Ricky Hatton: Mayweather
“I think Manny has all the tools in order to beat him. He’s a southpaw which makes it a little bit awkward. He’s got fast feet and fast hands and is probably someone who can match Mayweather for speed. I think if he can match Mayweather for speed and get in and out like he did against Oscar De La Hoya – straight punches rather than hooks, which Manny is very good at – I think he’s got a great chance. But my gut feeling is that Mayweather will adapt his style like he always does and probably beat Manny on points,”
Juan Manuel Marquez: Mayweather
"I think Mayweather's going to win this fight because Mayweather has a great defense, he uses the couter-punch very well, is more inteligent than Pacquiao."
Ray Mancini: Mayweather
“The fight should have happened a long time ago,“but the same thing I said would happen six years ago I think will happen, I think Mayweather beats him.”
Johnny Nelson(Sky Television Broadcaster): Pacquiao
“Common sense tells me to favor Floyd Mayweather,” he says. Still, when Nelson really thinks it over, he seems to arrive at a different conclusion. “I’m kind of leaning towards Manny Pacquiao,” he admits.
Brandon Rios: Mayweather
"It feels wrong for me to say this but I think Floyd beats Manny Pacquiao. Floyd is just a very defensive fighter, he’s got so many skills, he’s been in so many positions and he does have that skill. I do believe that Floyd beats him,"
Carl Froch: Mayweather
"My prediction is simple and plain: Floyd Mayweather on points,” he asserted. “He’s absolutely brilliant and has proven time and time again that he can, quite effectively, make it look easy. He works hard in the gym but sometimes it looks like he’s not having to work hard while he’s fighting."
Dan Rafael: Mayweather
"From the moment this fight appeared on all of our radar screens in late 2009, I always thought the same thing would happen: That it was a fantastic style match and that Mayweather would beat Pacquiao by decision."
Thomas Hearns: Mayweather
“I’m glad that fight is coming up, but I tell you this; there is no way that fight will top the fights me and [Marvin] Hagler and [Ray] Leonard had! I don’t care how much they’re getting paid. Their fight will not reach that status, no way. I have nothing bad to say about Mayweather or Pacquiao, they’re both great fighters. Mayweather is smart. I just don’t know if Pacquiao can match what Mayweather does in the ring.”
Erik Morales: Paquiao
“Pacquiao is faster and have strong legs, I think he will win,”
"I think on the boxing side, slight advantage for Mayweather—51 percent for Mayweather and 49 percent for Pacquiao. As a person, I like Pacquiao better than Mayweather, but from a boxing standpoint, I think that Mayweather has a better chance to win this fight."

Taller, stronger, longer reach, better punching accuracy, better defensively, better chin, better footwork, better overall Boxing skills period.
All the signs point >>>>>> Floyd Mayweather wins.
All the signs point >>>>>> Floyd Mayweather wins.
he knew that, he just wanna play dumb
man shut yo flip flopping ass up
I was venting to my girl this morning about ESPN's reporting. Constantly bringing up where Pac came from and his roots as if he still lives there and isn't worth at least $120 million or more right now.Today on sports reporters you could just feel how much hatred they have for Mayweather, talking about the people want Pac to win it for boxing and Mayweather's DV imprisonment
I get that he had it rough coming up but growing up a black man in Grand Rapids isn't some walk in the park either. They report like May grew up rich and his father wasn't in prison. The bias is incredible.

You forgot to add 1 more thing. Floyd added power punching to his craft. Everybody had been talking about 1 thing from his camp. Floyd is strong. I wanna see Pac reactions to accurate punches and power punches for 12 rounds. I don't believe this will go 13 rounds either way.
Shut your dumb ass up nikka. I've BEEN on record saying Floyd wins against Pacquiao going back to inception of this forum
Why don't you show you know something about Boxing and post in other parts of this subforum, instead of sitting in just this one thread all day, every day waiting to piggyback off other Floyd stans opinions

Pac's financial situation wasn't looking too good a few years ago which is why he started begging for this fight.
