    Not much to say besides that... pretty simple. Whoever can successfully put in the most work to the body of their opponent by the 4th or 5th round will be the winner.

    I think Mayweather will land to the body and go on his bicycle.


    Rinse and repeat.


    Mayweather knowing he's very defensively gifted and if he does this will win a UD comfortably imo.

    I agree with this. I think Pac will have a better chance of countering Floyd's body shots then landing his own. To clarify, I think he'll get more bang for his buck by doing that. I think he'll eventually get a real solid counter shot and stagger Floyd and then rush in to do some more punishment. After two times of doing that I think Floyd will not try to land as much.

    Floyd will try that shot to the body but once he sees pac countering with the hook he will be very reluctant to throw pac is fast.........

    as you mentioned I can see Floyd lunging forward hitting the body and pac staggering him with the right hook

    Invest early. Floyd will be countered and knocked out of the ring by a hard right hook to the ear.

    I doubt it will be a factor, and if for anyone I would say Pac could have success being the shorter of them with more power, easier to get body shots in. But their both in phenomenal shape and only benefit of hitting the body is to deplete stamina, which i don't see being any issue for either guy regardless. If they are going to go that route they better be relentless in it, otherwise forget it.

    Similar to that yes. Pac's own version can be even more devastating. He's caught a few fighters with it. Pac's version used to have some good flash knockdown potential. I hope it still does.

    Pac should go to the body to but let's not exaggerate, this will not determine the winner.

    Floyd's tendency of establishing distance and variety with his jab to the body opens him up.

    I'm interested to see if Pac's able to counter Floyd's jab (whether to the head or body) with the right hook.

    Manny seems vulnerable to the body against stronger fighters. He wanted no part of Rios's inside fighting. And he rarely allows himself to stay inside. But getting inside on Manny is kind of like getting inside on a cat.

    Pac doesn't have a body game. He jumps in and out.

    If Mayweather can touch Pac's body with that right hand then surely he can touch that head. When Mayweather delivers to Pac's body, rest assured that Pac will be expecting a head shot because he would have touched that several times in advance. This is a thinking man's game gents.
