    He defies all logic and has super human abilities in that ring, I am not sure who he can't beat.

    I originally thought that Floyd would beat him easy, but i dont know anymore. Heck i would not even dare to bet against him versus Paul Williams.

    This guy is trully special, he does things in that ring that you just can't wrap your head around. That uppercut that he caught Cotto with is simply amazing, nobody from 154 on down can exchange punches with him and win.

    LOL! Incrediable Bronx. I know how you are feeling b/c I said the EXACT same thing when he bested MAB, EM and DLH! I finially gave up on logic when speaking about PAC b/c I lost too much money going against him. But at least now he's got some VERY solidn skills sets in the ring and he can match MOST with the kind of ring intelligence he's shown. Now Floyd has more skills but PAC has more FIGHT! IT will be a tough competive fight but I have a hard time loosing the "logic" stance when speaking about Flyd. I've never went against Floyd and he's never let me down. But PAC could change all of that.

    I'm with you dog.. I picked

    I picked Oscar DLH because I ALWAYS think a BIGGER fighter with skill will beat a SMALLER fighter with skill.....

    I picked Cotto for the same reason....

    And to be fair to yourself (and myself and others lol), just to witness Miguel Cotto RUNNING from Manny who's motioning Cotto to FIGHT was one of the more surreal moments I've witnessed watching boxing....

    I've probably watched every big fight of the last 25 years, and I'd only put Sugar Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker ahead of Manny..

    This guy is astonishing.........:bowdown

    Thus far he's had a few "BIGGEST FIGHTS of his CAREER" and has smashed all expectations.

    I been saying it since he was a featherweight. Nobody around his weight class can beat him in a slugging match, just not possible. Everyone kept saying that to beat him, you have to pressure him as he cant fight off the back foot. BS. MAB is one of the best technical brawlers of all time and he couldnt do jack. Everyone was saying Juan Diaz would beat him up...I laughed.

    Pac can only be outboxed, not outbrawled. He has too much fighting instinct, speed, power, chin, endurance, combinations & explosiveness to loose in a brawl.

    whats incredible with that uppercut is that Cottos hook was halfway there and Pac still beat him to the punch by a mile. And Cotto was properly positioned defensively its just no one throws that shot with power in a split second opening.

    theres a gif floating around

    Out of all my friends I study boxing the most. I'm the only one who explains strenghts and weaknesses, write out long ass predictions on how I think things "should" go down. Each and every fight I'm extremely cautious with my analysis when it comes to Pac. Each and every time they immediately scream Pac by KO3!, Pac by KO9, Pac by KOwhenever and I'm like :patsch Dood, there's so much more to it than that. Acting like I know what I am talking about and how they're just rooting for him because they're pinoy.

    Well each and every time they've been right and I've been way off :oops: I do feel like an ass when this happens but at the same time it feels great to know Manny is on such a roll . This is def a situation when being wrong feels so damn right :yep

    Mosley can exchange and knock him the **** out. Believe that. Floyd will outbox and win a UD.
