    Pacquiao is a fighter who asks his opponents to hit him he will never back out...

    watch the Cotto fight. he is walking through Cotto's bombs to throw his own bombs

    AND THEN STEROID ACCUSATIONS WERE BORN^^

    I don't recall Mosley winning any rounds except for the round where he got a dubios knockdown.

    Pac's body attack in my opinion is what initiated Mosley's running.

    Mayweather could do the same, but if he used exactly the same gameplan, he would lose a wide decision like Mosley.

    In addition, the jury is still out whether Mayweather still has his legs as they were in or close to his prime.

    And if history is any indication, Mayweather may opt to try and walk Pac down...which would be a mistake in my opinion, but if he does, he will inevitably eat body shots.

    Exactly! I think people focus so much on Floyd's defense that they forget he has an offense. He was able to back up Mosley an Ortiz, yet he's feather fisted...?

    I don't think Ortiz was running. I think he was looking for countering opportunities.

    Mosley on the other hand...he looked he was running.

    To me he was backing up/running, which is indicative of Floyd's power. Not saying he has crazy power or something, but it's definitely underrated.

    Even if Floyd's legs aren't what they use to be he still has the best foot work in boxing. His foot work will give Manny problems. You have been spoiled by all the flat footed guys Manny has been facing. You need a jab to really bother Mayweather and Manny doesn't have one to do that. Long range in and in fighting is what Mayweather will be at ****ing Manny up. If Floyd stays in that mid range then Manny could go to work on his ass.

    i dont know

    he hasnt fought a quick guy in a while who was capable of moving and countering and making manny pay for some of his flaws

    Floyd can use the same kind of strategy Marquez had in the first two fights but he is sharper quicker and hits harder

    Its not the speed that Manny should be worried about. Its the timing. Hell Marquez is slower than Manny by a mile and he was able to out land Manny in both of their fights. Why? Bc of timing! Don't let them fool you. Team Pacquiao respects the hell out of Floyd's fighting skills and Roach is already 0-2 against Floyd.

    Damn beat me too it. Just recently I Rewatched mayweather vs Mosley and the speed difference was apparent. PBF is a speed demon compared to anyone who pacquiao has fought.

    What's going to be more difficult for PAC is the overall speed of mayweather especially his reflexes. Mayweather has him beat their.

    Floyd doesn't throw that many punches, but he IS faster at throwing the one punch. Fact.

    It also helps that they throw their punches a little differently as well.


    For an example, Pac might be faster over 5 seconds, but for 1 split second Floyd shoots out a lightning bolt

    I'm tired of talking about this ****.

    These guys are the same damn weight.

    They need to get their asses in the ring or stop this bull**** once and for all.
