Peaking Manny Pacquiao can decimate Floyd Mayweather

LAS VEGAS--As ring immortal Joe Louis once said of slick Billy Conn, I now say to Floyd Mayweather Jr. concerning Manny Pacquiao: You can run but you can't hide.

Speaking of ring immortals, we can surely now crown Pacquiao as the greatest lighter weight fighter (welterweight and below) since Roberto Duran as a lightweight and Sugar Ray Leonard at welterweight.

But don't take it from me, listen to WBC President Don Jose Sulaiman, speaking to me over breakfast in the Studio Cafe seconds ago:

"Manny is an alltime great fighter. I was so amazed with his blinding speed. He is a great fighter and a great entertainer and a humble boy who does not forget that he came from a humble bed. His whole country can be proud and be amazed just as I am," Sulaiman said.

In what had to be Mayweather's's worst nightmare, the Pinoy Idol burnished his legendary status with a complete demolition of rugged Puerto Rican Joshua Miguel I'm No Angel Cotto Saturday night at the MGM Grand.

Compassionate referee Kenny Bayless rescued Cotto from needless punishment at the 55 second mark of the 12th and final round.

The prefight question, which was can Pacquiao possibly defeat the undefeated, supremely skilled Mayweather, is now altered.

The post fight questions are twofold.

One, will Mayweather, who claims to be his own boss, give a direct order to Al Haymon and to his Golden Boy minders, that he will accept no other next opponent than the little brown guy from General Santos City who destroyed Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton and now Cotto in succession?

And, two, I must now ask this pertinent question, would Mayweather have a real chance of beating the still peaking Pacman?

My updated List of Why Pacquiao Beats Mayweather follows:

1. Manny's speed and ring movement clearly matches that of Mayweather now.

2. Manny hits a helluva lot harder than Floyd does with his pittypat, flicking blows.

3. Those patented shoulder rolls won't stop the furious fists of Pacman. As Cotto rightly noted, it wasn't just the volume and the force of Manny's two-fisted attack which ran him over, it was that he could not see where the shots were coming from. Yes, Mayweather's a defensive genius but can he win only by running when Pacman's attack will be nonstop?

4. Superior trainer, strategist. Roger Mayweather may have another jail "staycation" coming up but, as a trainer, he can't compare in any way, shape or form to this generation's answer to Angelo Dundee, "Master" Freddie Roach.

5. Floyd is the older fighter by a year or two and Floyd has been the more inactive fighter.

6. As hard and diligently as Mayweather trains, nobody outworks Manny when he puts all else aside and focuses on getting ready for a fight.

7. There's a special aura about Manny that Mayweather never had and never will have even if he were to beat Pacman in this perceived battle of "Good" (Manny) versus "Evil."

8. Sparring partners: You can find Mayweather clones or at least guys who copy his style. Where in hell can the Mayweather camp find a Pacman style sparmate? Such a person does not exist.

9. Mayweather's greatest nights in the ring are behind him while Manny's are in the future.

10. Madam Auring, who I know many of you young guys do find damned alluring, will pick Mayweather to win, thus making a Pacquiao victory a certainty. Not to mention, though I must, that our esteemed president the always glowing GMA and her friend, Hillary Clinton, will both back Manny 1000 percent.


Commentary: Where on earth can they find a fighter who can fight like Manny Pacquiao to prepare for a fight? I don't know. There is only one Manny Pacquiao!
