    IMO Pac has a better chance of beating PBF than Mosley. Mosley is stronger and is becoming quite the wiley veteran(see Hopkins) plus he is not afraid to take chances and throw everything he has at you(see Margarito). Floyd's potshot style would not be enough to outpoint Pac, who would be quick and extremely busy.

    He is the boxing Nostradamus that Pac will fight dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, and Floyd. Who would not believe him? But my take is if Pac can beat Cotto like what he did to Hatton, his camp will confidently go for the jugular to cement his legacy.

    NICE!!:lol: Still you gotta admit that being a 7 division, 7 "world titlist" is impressive. Linear and Unified champs in 7 weight classes would be untouchable and almost impossible these days.

    Most likely. But I'm hoping like hell it's at MSG.

    Really? I find Shane more dangerous, but offers less tools in beating PAC than Floyd does. Although Floyd IMO wouldn't be able to really KO PAC, he could definitley win a decision. With Shane I feel PAC runs a real risk of getting his clock cleaned. But that would be hard for Shane to do if PAC is moving as well as he has shown and his speed is on point like it has been.

    But good observation on Floyd's pot shotting not being enough. I think you're right and I thought that myself which is why PAC has a chance. I just think we'll see a very "different" Floyd if he faces off with PAC. He'll be FORCED to fight! And he'll have to use all his skills and talent which I've been waiting for from him for years. I truly think Floyd is a great boxer and I think he needs the kind of fight like with a PAC or Shane to prove he's a great FIGHTER. There is no doubt he can adapt which with the right fighter who are actualy ON LEVEL with him will be forced.

    Wow! 16 pages in two hours. This is a good sign that this fight won't bomb out in tills like Floyd Marquez.

    Then why the fuzz about 143lbs? Makes no sense, in that case make it at 147lbs.

    Mayweather then needs more fights for legend status too, right? Pac beat the same guys only he is smaller and he did it more convincingly in both cases.

    :rofl good point.

    In all honesty though, there are just as many pinoys here in the north east. Pinoy fans who are DYING to see Pac at the Garden. I'm very confident that the fans would be close to a 50/50 split. Add the fact that the PR day parade is well behind us, maybe an honest decision at the Garden (which I doubt will be needed in this one) isn't too far fetched.
