    Hard to imagine Floyd being down on points unless he gets knocked down a couple of times.

    the point is Pacquiao knows how to counter the jab,

    and if Floyd only throws 1-2punches, Pacquiao will have an easier time timing the punch

    plus Pacquiao has fast handspeed which means he can sneak his punches in once Floyd throws those 1-2 jabs

    Just watch the vids,

    Pacquiao already knows how to handle Floyds jabs, but how will Mayweather handle Pacquiaos combos once he gets inside???

    Floyd isn't a huge jab artist...the **** you talking about? Furthermore, when was the last time you saw Floyd "run" during a fight, like which fight specifically?

    He could outbox him like Morales did?

    but he only throws 1x

    if that was Pacquiao, he would have came back at him with multi punches

    see thats the difference, Manny comes back at you after getting hit, he would bait Floyd into throwing more punches

    You really don't know **** about boxing, Floyd minimizes his punches to prevent his opponent from getting punches in, Floyd does not exchange punches and his punches are fast and very accurate, he upsets your rhythm, breaks you down and then opens up, just because he is stingy with punches doesn't mean Pac is just gonna rush in, that's what Floyd wants, overly aggressive fighters so he can counter, if his 1-2 is so predictable he would surely have lost by now, educate yourself young man, you aren't very bright in regards to fighting...

    Floyd is usually more aggressive against southpaws. He also tends to use his high guard more, especially against guys with speed and power. He hasn't used his old hit and run style since 2007, when he fought Hatton. Nowadays he uses much less movement, which means he consumes less stamina throughout the bout, and keeps his legs from tiring. It's a typical transition for boxers as they get older.

    So, assuming that Floyd sticks to this style (more aggressive, much more use of the high guard, less movement around the ring) I actually think it benefits Pac. It's not an easy fight either way, but Pac finds it tougher when people constantly move and box him, in the sort of way that Floyd did to Corrales. Pac gets frustrated and sometimes finds it difficult to cut off the ring. If Floyd really does try to back him up and box him from close range, Pac will still have trouble landing due to Floyd's excellent defence, but he'll definitely land some good shots, especially to the body. The problem with the high guard is that it partially blocks your vision -- your defence tightens, but you pay the price in regard to mobility and vision.

    As for the jab, Floyd doesn't often use that punch. He favours the left hook and (especially against the southpaw) that sharp, straight right hand. That right hand will be the key in this bout -- it gets the other guy's respect, it keeps them at a distance, and Floyd is fast enough to lead with it. One of Pac's main objectives should be to find a way to neutralise that right hand.

    "Inside" is the last place Manny wants to be with Floyd...mid range is his comfort zone, and where he has a chance to do damage.

    Floyd is the most accurate jabber[overall the most accurate all-around puncher] in the Boxing. He is also in the top 10 of Boxers that land the most jabs per round, and Cotto isn't even on that list but he's a good jabber as well but not as good as Floyd.

    but Manny would come in off balance while Floyd counters him and get stopped in him tracks. Ortiz has the benefit of being bigger than Manny and have his feet grounded and better balance coming in.

    Pac could get his little ass knocked down coming in like this vs Floyd

    this dude lost all credibility when he said Manny is gonna bait floyd to test his accuracy and counter Floyd

    All of a sudden Manny is a master boxer who is skillful enough to bait Floyd

    Funniest **** Ive seen on ESB in a while
