That's just it, Manny isn't Maidana and doesn't have the physical toughness and chin of Chino. You keep using all these other fighters as a reference or comparison into what you think MP will be able to do, two can play that game all day long, for example:
JMM easily outboxed MP in the first fight and this was after getting knocked down 3 times, I'm sure you will say Pac has improved since then but then JMM goes on to beat him arguably in 2 fights afterwards before putting him to sleep in the last fight. Bradley was able to beat Manny for 5 rounds in the first fight and he's far shorter, slower and doesn't hit as hard as Floyd. So you see we can go on and on with your ridiculous speculations and whatnot but none of that will matter.
Floyd is the far superior boxer, better defense, timing, use of distance, underrated chin and faster than Manny according to SSM, Manny used to be more aggressive, doesn't have a great defense, has great angles and footwork but doesn't know how to set traps and his chin is highly suspect plus he's shorter with a shorter reach.
Floyd will take advantage of all of Pacquiao's flaws and just as Jeff Mayweather stated, once Floyd figures out Manny's timing the fight is over and I think it becomes a matter of Mayweather walking him down and picking him apart with laser right hands and left hooks to the body after a double jab on every occasion.
FLoyd by easy UD after 5.
