Yes, that’s right, I said it. Manny Pacquaio (if he can ever get the guy in the ring) will kick Floyd Mayweather’s ass! I’m going to give you three reasons why and then I shall endeavor to go into each reason in more detail. The first reason is that Pacquiao has the style to beat Mayweather, JR. The second reason is the southpaw jinx. The third reason is that I believe Pacquiao has more desire than Floyd Mayweather, JR.

My first reason is that Pacquiao is essentially a stylistic nightmare for Floyd Mayweather, JR.is flat footed a lot of the time and fights in a shell. Pacquiao is a guy with great legs who can move and punch with beautiful combinations. This style will prove very difficult for Floyd. Plus his smaller size and faster hands (even if he’s not as fast as Floyd he is still faster than anybody else Floyd has fought) will allow him to hit Floyd a lot more than usual. I can see Pacquiao getting the better of Floyd going forward, backward, or anything in between.

If you go back and look at Floyd’s fights against southpaws you will find that they give him a lot of trouble. In fact, go back and watch his fight with Zab Judah. Early in the fight Judah should have been given a 10-8 round because he actually dropped Floyd. He was never given credit for that knockdown though. The fact still remains, that Floyd Mayweather, JR. has a lot of trouble with southpaws.

When I watch Pac (whether he wins or loses) I see a man who has given his all. I see a man who is determined and puts his everything into each and every fight. Floyd does not seem to me to be the kind of guy that would do that. Of course, compared to most of us, Floyd is a very courageous human being getting into the ring to itch out a living in this world but in the realm of fighters I believe Pacquiao is the more determined fighter. For me, this is the deciding factor. Both men are tremendous fighters and both have my respect but I see Pacquiao pulling ahead simply because he is more willing to risk himself than Floyd is.
