    It's what I've been saying......but this is the first time Floyd has said this about how he's going to approach this fight with Manny. Grant it.....he's said this before other fights, but this fight is a different beast altogether. He's serious and he's looking to make a statement, take risks and put it all out on the line for this one. Two things I think could happen if Floyd sticks to his guns on this......He will get the KO or get KO'd. I thought it might go 12 but the closer it gets I think we could see this fight ending before the sound of the bell for the 12th.

    Not all the time......but if Floyd can mix it up a little and CHOSE when he wants to brawl and when he wants to "Box".....that's the same as controlling the fight........real-estate........distance ect.

    But to be one dimensional against Manny and straight up try to out-fight him is delusional. Floyd can still languish in the pocket and fight in range where he can attempt to counter and land power shots.....he just can't do it too long.

    Manny has to control the pace and distance if he wants to win. He'll need to force Floyd to fight when he doesn't want to and keep Floyd on the defensive.........forcing the exchanges and capitalizing on the opportunity.

    Someone needs to get the respect of their opponent EARLY.....whoever that is who gets that nut off first will in my opinion, win the fight. Floyd is talking like he's about that business so PAC needs to be on his P's & Q's to not be the victim and make Floyd have 2nd thoughts about his new aggressive approach.

    Floyd trading with Manny will be a huge risk, either one will be knocked out if this happens consistently, especially in first few rounds when both will have firepower.

    No. Floyd will stop engaging when pac hits him clean if he does plan to come out and attack.

    Floyd trading with Manny would have been suicidal before KTFO

    Now it's a big risk for both guys

    Well after he saw Pac with lifts in his shoes and noticed he was still shorter I would not be surprised if he walks down Pac.

    it can be a strategy to stop pacs continuous assault like he did ortiz. i just hope he fights like a true p4p fighter and not too much dirty tricks. let's see how he takes pac's punches and adopt like the defensive wizard he claims to be.

    This is BS guys

    He is going to try and assert some dominance over Pacquiao - Stiff jab to the body or midsection try and land some power early to make Pac hesitant...won't make a different though.

    Pacquiao should keep his left hand to himself intill he feels he can land it...don't let Mayweather get the range adjustment on it early by missing with it.
