Floyd could stop paquiao. He would nail pacquiao with lead rights and I could see him late on walking paquiao down and stopping him. Floyd is far too accurate and those punches will take there toll on pacquiao. The fight wouldnt be close at all.
I somewhat agree he doesn't use the lateral movement as much as JMM, which is important against SPs. But his overall defence is better, he's much rangier/taller so harder to hit from the outside and much quicker with his leads. Then again his check hook is textbook of using lateral movement to set up counters.
The keys in this fight will be PBF's ability to beat Pac to the punch, educated footwork and defense.:deal
See this is the type of post that exposes people who don't know the sport.:-( He can't do what Zab did for one Pac's not a natural counter puncher two he doesn't have the ability to beat PBF to the punch like Zab can and three he doesn't pick his shots and work behind a jab. Learn the sport or log off.:hi:
First off, Pac 2-0-1 Marquez. Your opinion is irrelevant. More importantly however styles make fights. How many times do we need to see Fighter A get beat by fighters who lost to fighter A's victims before you understand what that means? Having said that, in this match I do slightly favor Floyd.
Roach just talks but he isn't actively seeking a Floyd fight. He's just like Arum talk talk talk. Sure its not up to him, he is just the trainer, but it doesn't hurt to verbalize your opinion. That is exactly why they wanted to fight marquez again to avoid Floyd.
He is a hell of alot better. Roach should make the fight. Pac takes the beating. Everybody gets paid and goes home. ****ing done.
