The Pac who fought Cotto vs Floyd who fought Hatton

Don't be disrespectful. I've followed every fight since he stepped on American soil. Those 1000 punch fights were anomalies, that was fighting his Ass off to keep those big men off him. It was a strategy, add they knew Clottey would not throw punches until the other guy stopped and he had a chance to reset which they tried to limit. Pac was about a 50-60 punch per round guy, with great explosives. It was never a pot shot, he always followed up with more meaningful punches.Floyd always had a tendency to shell up and lay dormant looking for an opening. It showed in the fight that they did have, that if Pac had the same stamina that when he opened up, Floyd had very little room to breathe. He was the guy who always fit in the big shot during exchanges because of his awkwardness. He could throw short damaging blows without even having his feet planted. The Pac we got the last few years was much more technically sound but not half the physical specimen he was. Different speed, power, and mainly tenacious. He was like a Tasmanian devil...

 

It's all good brother... Fans don't have to agree, it's just a shame to me, it never materialized. They were both clearly the best fighters in the world at the time, could have been a classic..Pac ess a different animal back then before all his religious bull**** that probably helped with him getting soft.. I loved the drinking, gambling, panty dropping Manny.. But that's just me, that lifestyle makes your blood boil a little hotter. He's a little too tame now..

 

This fight was all but signed in 2009. After everything ess agreed Floyd introduced his new homegrown style of drug testing after accusing Manny of being a cheat. There was a road block by Floyd, the first of many to follow.
But this is here nor there, just want honest opinions on these guys at this time frame..

 

And Manny team used terrible and they really are all over the place and rarely on the same page.. So that doesn't help anything... I think we all have to agree that Manny had killer instinct n he lost that around the Margarito fight.. All that godly bs made him soft, or Margo beat it out off him.. It did seem to return fur the 4th Marquez fight, unfortunately Jmm was a man on a mission that night.

 

I do really see Pac hitting Floyd with big shots all night. But like we saw against Hatton Floyd was able to rally and really put shots together when under pressure..
