    What do you think Pac's gameplan should be in this fight?

    Floyd can control the distance with his jab and fight him on the inside where he will be the bigger man and would take away alot of Pac's power. Also, I just have a hard time believing someone who is wiiiiiiiiiiiide open after they get off could avoid being countered to death by Floyd.

    NO. they'll say floyd got old overnight. the punches he took from castillo and odlh and the early wrestling by hatton finally caught up with him. the 20 month lay-off had a delayed slowing of his reflexes. blah blah blah.

    I think even Floyd fans would agree that if they fight and Floyd weighed the same as with the JMM fight (146). Pac has the argument to be the greatest of all time. This is based on what I saw the other night, Floyd while not devastating is as close to unbeatable a fighter is ala Clay of '63, WW SRR and RJJ of the mid 90's

    Pac won't even be able to reach Floyd just as JMM couldn't. Pac's too small for Floyd. *******s try to use the Judah and Corley fights, but don't want Floyd fans to use the Morales or JMM fights as any kind of proof. If Judah and Corley couldn't get Floyd out with one shot, PAc won't either. Pac has no chance against Floyd. Had he been taller or had a longer reach, I'df give him a shot. Just as JMM was too small, Pac would be also.

    PAC could beat Floyd but I think it would be far fetched if he did. Not that PAC is not capable....FLoyd will just stick to his game plan and won't really engage PAC. He'll be fine winnin by outpointing PAC for 12 rounds. But PAC will be able to catch up with him and make it a very tough fight. I just don't see PAC being about to get him out of there or win a majority of the rounds. But it woul be a very good fight and compettiive.

    Pac has the speed, footwork, and power but now I can see Floyd would be to big for Pac. If the fight is made at 140 than Pac has a chance, 147 Floyd will do a beat down on him.

    Well said and to extend on your sentiments, Pac's south paw stance alone should be telling enough for people to realize that Floyd performance against JMM has little merit when compared to a matchup against Pac. Styles indeed make fights and Pac's awkwardness is something that Floyd has never seen.

    I thought you said there are no size advantages when it comes to elite fighters but now Pac is too small for Floyd?:huh I not saying he would win, but Pac's speed and skills give him a shot at anyone.
