Off the top of my head Floyd's resume, with Manny and Prime GGG on it as well, is a notch below Sugar Ray Leonard's....almost equal, but maybe not quite.


I would have to do a compare and contrast to come to a conclusion once Floyd retires.


As of TODAY? SRL got him still.

Nacho: Pacquiao Has 45% Shot To Beat Mayweather
Posted by: Miguel Rivera on 2/26/2015

By Miguel Rivera

Nacho Beristain, trainer of former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez, is giving Manny Pacquiao a 45% chance of defeating unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The veteran coach trained Marquez for four fights with Pacquiao in 2004, 2008, 2011, 2012 - and also trained Juan for one fight with Mayweather in 2009.

Nacho sees Mayweather as a the favorite to win, because of his style. He doesn't view Pacquiao as being as big of an underdog as others do.

"I've always liked Pacquiao's style better. Because he has a commercial style, people will gladly pay to see him fight, and the other, as we know, has a defensive style, but also has many resources," Nacho said to ESPN Desportes. "I think Pacquiao has a 45 percent chance. Mayweather is the favorite [but only by a little bit]."


"On paper it is Mayweather who arrives at a better time, because of the knockout Pacquiao suffered to Juan Manuel. But Pacquiao has many things going for him...speed, and being a smart fighter...although people think otherwise, he knows when to shoot his combinations."

Now, I thought a couple days ago...Nacho was saying that Pacquiao was gonna win. I may be wrong. Now, he's lowered that "expection" to giving Pacquiao a 45% chance of winning?:mjpls:



He must've found out, like @LeVraiPapi , that Floyd is sipping on them Ariza Shakes now:wow:

BERNARD HOPKINS EXPLAINS WHY AFTER 6 ROUNDS, MANNY PACQUIAO WILL BE TARGET PRACTICE FOR FLOYD MAYWEATHER
By Percy Crawford | February 26, 2015

"Not only will I break the fight down for you, I will give you a prediction. Now, I could be wrong, but then again, I could be right. The first 5 or 6 rounds, it's going to be a back and fourth fight because of Pacquiao's aggression. But Pacquiao is not the best defensive fighter. Mayweather is going to sharp shoot, and not only is Mayweather going to fight back when he needs to, but after that 6th round, it's done," stated future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins, who gave his official prediction on the long-awaited May 2 showdown between undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao. According to Hopkins, after the first 6 rounds of the fight, Mayweather will begin to dominate to the point that some fans will be upset.

"Hey, listen, there will be people that's so upset because they charging people money, they are going to be so upset because in the second half, it somehow turned into such easy work that they are going to feel like there was some type of corruption or foul play or pollution in the air. They are gonna make up all kinds of excuses (laughing). I believe the second half of these 12 rounds gonna be target practice for Floyd. And it's going to be a situation where, is he putting a show on just so people can get their monies worth or is it just that easy. That's my bold statement and I stick by it, now let's wait 8 to 9 weeks and see what happens," Hopkins explained during a recent conversation with FightHype.com. "The fans have spoken and they delivered. It's better late than never. Enjoy the super fight, our Super Bowl of fights this year, and this is the beginning, I hope, of big fights to come, whether it's Golden Boy or any other promotional outlet. At the end of the day, if everybody step their game up, you don't have to complain; just do! Thank you and continue to support boxing!"









I agree:obama:


Floyd wins clearly, just like he did Canelo, and everybody gonna be on some "bu-bu-but":to: type shyt:heh:



For me, there's a 100% chance that Floyd wins this fight. I cant even envision a Pacquiao win whether by robbery, decision, or KO.....even if @California Burrito made this thread:russ:



I cannot see it all. Floyd is supremely skilled at the things that cause Manny problems:manny:



If Floyd lost this fight, @Black_Jesus, you can have all my coli cash period...no counter bet from you needed:salute:

B-hop my nikka but he looking at this from the 2010 lens.

If the Floyd that showed up against maidana go up against the PAC that literally kicked Chris's ass around the ring for 12 rounds, then its gonna be a long fight.

I think floyd wins 8 rounds to 4. Not a complete blow out, but it will be a decisive win.
