    Floyd fans claim that Manny can't hit Floyd because he is damn good in defense. Floyd will just slip on Pac's punches or he (Floyd) will be gone even before Pac can throw his punches. Pac hitting Floyd with combinations is not even a question because Floyd will duck and slip and move away before the combinations can reach their target.

    That is basically saying that Floyd's reflex is so fast that even Pac's punches are slower as compared to Floyd's reflex. Remember that Pac's opponents say that they can't see where the punches are coming because they came from weird angles. I guess Floyd can also see those shots coming from angles and Floyd can avoid them too.

    So, which do you think is faster, Pac's punches or Floyd's reflex?

    I don't know man....It seems like Floyd is content going on the defense much of the time. I see Manny overwhelming him early. If Floyd gets stuck in the corner he can only slip so many punches same if he's on the ropes. I think his reflexes hold up for the first punch or two. After that Manny comes from too many angles that Floyd has NEVER seen.

    He can't be too defensive or he's in trouble IMO unless he's planning on knocking Manny out which is NOT GONNA HAPPEN

    This should be a pretty good fight. Anyone without blinders can see that fighters with volume and intensity have created problems recently watch the Hoya and Hatton fights. These styles are completely different than Pac's, but my point is Pac has the best offense in the game right now. It's not gonna be a question of can Pac catch Floyd, but people who think rationally and not with their ego should question how often will Pac land and can Floyd avoid the big shots and combos.

    Pac lands his signature punch when he is in the middle of the ring. I don't think Floyd has problem to deal with Pac in the middle of the ring. Floyd will jab to the body and move since Pac's head moving too much.

    This fight is going to be very good and the reason being is Floyd at one time or another is going to have to stand and fight!!!!

    I dont think that Pac is going to be throwing all these punches if he's missing them. I really see Floyds reflexes causing trouble for Pac but those combinations from Pac will probably cause trouble for Floyd too.

    Floyd's reflex. His ability to react in any situation.

    However Pac doesn't throw standard punches. So it will be very interesting to see how Floyd deals with that.

    No. i.e. When Pac throws a punch, Floyd's reflex is too fast that he can avoid the punch.

    Jezz I just don't get it, or some of you poster don't get it.. Floyd and his uncle have constantly said that floyd does not rely on his speed to win fights, but his ability to think under pressure and figure his opponent out.. So why is so much attention payed to how fast floyd is and how quick he reflexes are ????:huh

    Marquize who is slower then both floyd and Pac was able to use his brain and wit to tag both fighters with good shots and in the process not take beating from ether fighter.

    So again why is so much attention pay to each fighter speed.. :huh
