Pretty Boy's thick face needs an extra-full thickness graft from UNCLE PIG's SKIN

LOS ANGELES, California - Contrary to popular opinion, I AM NOT A FAN OF MANNY PACQUIAO. But, I am a fan of INSPIRATION. And as for my writings, I simply rely on my gift of discernment. Yes, that's unmerited. But, at times, it can be adulterated especially whenever I feel that in-most fire in my belly called "gut-feeling".
Conversely, consider this: Unless Jet-Weight King Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather, Jr. does not believe in the theory of evolution, then Uncle Pig should be of no help to his cause.
But, if he does, then an extra raw leather scrapped from Uncle Pig's skin must surgically serve the purpose. And, it must be an extra-full skin thickness graft. Oh, yes! That's right! It's good enough, at least for a fight against Pound-for-Pound king Manny Pacquiao this spring.
What I see far ahead is a gruesome prospect of Pretty Boy's face turning crimson red from Pacquiao blade-crosses of hooks and uppercuts.
Yes, Pacquaio is still a one-dimentional fighter in a sense that Pretty Boy's face would become the sole and easy target on fight night, only if both camps meet at a compromised will and amendable to their respective terms, and granting both parties have reached perfection of the contract.
And forget about Pretty Boy's footwork and speed. He will not be able to run, except to stumble and fall.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao still needs a lot of refinements of his defense. But, knowing Pacquiao's breathless talent, progressive versatility and adaptive nature, such can be done, if not tailored surpassingly according to the style of Pretty Boy.
Pretty Boy must start scouting for a good surgeon.
The time is now, Pretty Boy. Hit the road, baby!
