Floyd gave the fans a "toe to toe fight" will that happen when he meets Pacquiao?

    Or will he go back to his boring style again?

    Mayweather said after the Cotto(e) fight he wanted to give everyone one brawl, which ended up being the Cotto(e) fight, late in his career for them to talk about.

    I don't think he'd have much of a choice here. If Pacquiao hasn't slowed down and is still able to apply this hellish pressure, that is.

    No. He will just box Pacquiao.

    He might engage for a round or two but it won't be like the Cotto fight for sure.

    He will just box Manny from long range and make it look easy. Catch him lunging in and score a knock down or two mainly bc of Manny being off balance. You seen how Manny was not able to remain patient with Marquez? He will be tapping his gloves together all night and you better believe he is going to be catching cramps and hunger pains again. *******s say he is a terminator. How the hell does a terminator catch cramps and "hunger pains?"

    You can't brawl with Manny, Manny offense is much better than Cotto, I think with Manny he will box first,wear em down, then start brawling and using the combinations

    Floyd by TKO RD10


    Now i could be wrong and Mayweather does indeed brawl with Manny, If he did this and still came out on top,credit to his greatness

    Look at all of Mayweather's fights since the Castillo fight, he hasn't used a lot of movement in many of those fights. For most of the Baldo fight, he was right in Baldo's grill. He really only used a lot of movement in the last few rounds. He's lost a step in regards to his speed and reflexes, but it appears to me that he's been preparing for a while for this. His movements are subtle, and, for the most part, it's beent that way for a while. He doesn't need to use a lot of movement to beat Pacquiao anyway.

    Pacquiao can't walk Floyd down. For one Manny has average foot work and will be going up against a guy with the best foot work in the game. Manny can't cut the ring off either which will hurt him and he doesn't have a jab. Floyd can jab him at long range and catch him lunging in all night and when they get in the inside Floyd will bang on that boy and tie his ass up.

    If Floyd can't maintain distance with his jab/legs , he's in for a world of hurt.

    I don't think it's that simple, that Floyd can just jab him from the distance and tie him on the inside :lol:

    His legs aren't what they used to be too. Imagine him on the ropes having to shoulder roll these mega fast, powerful combos from Pac. Cotto could connect, Pac can too. Handspeed and volume of punches would be what Floyd has to deal with. He may not get walked down into exhaustion and KO'd but it seems to me he has to absorb his fair share of punishment along the way.
