    If PAC KO's Mayweather, it will rock the Boxing World thru its core

    There'll be a changing of perception that a modern, present day fighter in not to be overlooked any longer as the greatest practicioner of the Sweet science.

    This would be a welcome change. Boxing has become a sport of nostalgia.

    Ah yes! The smack talking and hype for Pac vs PBF is already building. I love it.

    Manny found it difficult to catch cotto at times when he was on the back foot, how on earth will he catch may may.

    HMMm very true. He seemed frustrated that he had to chase him.

    And being frustrated is not good against PBF.

    I see it.. Freddie is right.. I think Manny will beat FMJ - I am unsure if it will end in a knock out.. But this guy wants to win... and he listens to his trainer, costantly improves.. He is a freak...

    Mark my words, Freddie and Roger or Floyd Sr will have some type of physical confrontation before all is said and done. By all accounts, both camps despise each other. This **** talking and posturing will be in overdrive for this potential megabout

    That said, Floyd by UD

    Floyd better not backpedal the whole fight because Pac will stand in the middle of the ring and taunt him to fight like a man. Believe you me, the boxing world will never forgive Floyd and his legacy will suffer. The magnitude of this fight will force Floyd to take risks otherwise I can definitely see things thrown into the ring if theysee a rd similar to rd 10 and 11 of the Cotto fight

    Hitting without being hit has always been the main principle of boxing, its not take a beating to please the fans. You may want that to happen but that isn't what its about.

    To a certain extent and boxing fans are sophisticated enough to know when its tactical or just playing it safe. Potshotting won't do it for floyd this time. Now if he is countering with bad intentions that's fine but he won't get credit for landing 5 jabs to bank the round. Is that fair? No but with the magnitude and the buildup it just won't do.

    Well said. Floyd will have to up his game to beat Manny. Pac is relentless and has the speed to catch up to Mayweather eventually and pressure him out of his relaxed pot shot throwing defensive comfort zone. His power will get Mayweather's respect like it has everyone else he has fought. If a quick southpaw like Judah can momentarily befuddle Floyd than so can Manny, and has the whole crazy combinations and good punch selection with angles. Plus, when guys start trading with him, BAM! A reality check and they get dropped. Pac force Floyd to have to show his true potential.
