    If they fight does Floyd has the punch to back up Pacman? I'm saying this because Pacman is not good in fighting backwards. Thoughts?

    Surprisingly.....yes, he does....pbf has very underrated power because he doesn't fully sit on his punches...because he is able to maneuver better... :deal

    I don't think you should fight Pac coming forward, I haven't seen any fighter be successful against him fighting that way.

    The only time Pac shows vunerability going backwards is when he gets on ropes, he will go to ropes when he gets hit hard in the body. Pac doesn't fight that well on the ropes.

    I feel that Floyd might be a little too defensive for PAC. Meaning, I expect for Pac to throw more punches and with the angles that Pac throws those punches, they will catch Floyd at some point. I see Floyd's back in the ropes more than Pac's back on the ropes.

    i somehow think he does. he has a great jab too which may give pac trouble along with his movement and speed.

    I don't think he has power to back him up as such, but his counter-punches are something else. I see Manny walking towards Mayweather throwing but Mayweather landing some hard-looking counters that makes Manny think twice. Manny has the potential to do it, there's no doubt about it. I just don't want to make a prediction on this one - I've doubted Manny too many times.

    he may have , but using a jab against manny is very dangerous (see round 2,3 cotto) , his best chance shud be counter-punching , cotto fell inlove with the jab and it was too late before he realised 1st round was a ploy..

    After then 8th round when Pac has thrown and missed with 75% of his punches and is wondering why did i take this man on PBFs punches will start to wear down and back Pac man up. Its not PBFS power, its his precision to the temple and that stiff jab over time that do the damage. He tends not to sit down on punches as much as he used to. I am guessing due to his damaged hands?

    Floyd has underrated power.

    He has it all... precision, timing and power to top it off when he really wants turn into a punch.

    Thats the point. LOL at people listening to what Zab Judah got to say. :rofl How did Marquez handle him and nullify his whole offensive and make him tentative. Catch him coming in lunging with counters. Floyd would set traps and Manny loves to come in and get into a brawl and he cant be beaten that way. Floyd is not stupid enough to brawl with him and nobody is better at catching counter opportunties than Floyd. Pac is a ****ing beast. But Floyd got that number. *******s have been rightfully boasting the past few years but all this Floyd is scared this, ***** that..lol Will come to an end when they fight.

    Floyds offense is not based off of the jab like say Cotto and ODH. Yeah he can lead with it and fight off of it. But he rarely does and would not do it against Pac. Thats the difference here.
