    Why would he do that? Look I get the size thing but at 38, adding that much muscle will eat into your stamina. Unless he is going for an early ko this makes no sense. Based on Floyds recent history, going for an early ko makes no sense either. I have always thought that if Floyd fights his fight he wins this by a couple rounds...now I get the sense he has changed something and I don't think it's good.

    I really think this is a 50/50 fight.

    why go for a ko when you've never been known to be a KO artist? In order for Floyd to KO Pac, he is going to have to risk a lot and I don't think he is willing to do that at this point in his career

    Not at the weigh-in he looks the same to me actually.....a little thick at the shoulders and traps! But no MAJOR changes!

    Floyd is too fragile to use the JMM blueprint.

    I agree but the muscle he has added is undeniable. He doesn't need to bulk up or even hit harder to beat Pac.

    He doesn't look that different maybe a little bit but I don't think any muscle mass that he gained will make a difference unless he does what you're saying and go out for the KO which I think is a terrible idea.

    I don't think that he's bulked up, just cut up. He will be fine.

    He does not look that bulked up but is obviously in great shape. Floyd is a very good puncher with punch variety and combinations which he will display tonight.

    I wouldn't say a lot more. He's not going to want to sacrifice too much speed or stamina. He will need both to win.

    They were advised by Memo Heredia.

    What muscle? He was 1 lb more than Manny and Floyd is taller. He looked much leaner than say against JMM. He looked smaller than he did against Canelo.

    i agree he has put on a bit of muscle mass, but i don't think he will sacrifice speed

    he may of gained muscle and a slight bit of power, but not to extent speed will be lost

    I'm surprised there has been no Floyd PED-achne accusation thread yet
