    We all know that Pac's footspeed is one if not the fastest in all of boxing... with that said, he can close the gap in a heartbeat and with his side to side movement he can be in a a position to unleash that left hook/cross to Floyd's exposed ribs... We all know Floyd's injury in that area and it might be one of the determining factor for this fight and once Floyd protect that area then his chin will be more expose than ever then Pac could hit the jackpot like what he did to Hatton.....

    The rib injury is false, it was just a curtain to hide the fact that they needed more time to promote the JMM fight.

    That is true. But he does have a point. He will expose his ribs.

    Nope he does not. Zab feet are just as fast and Zab can be pretty nasty to the body.. Floyd was able to defend against the body attack.. Floyd is no more expectable to a body then any other fighter. This point is not a huge deal.

    even you cant be that naive, put 2 and 2 together, the fight got rescheduled to the weekend of mexican independence and was able to get the fight into movie theatres, it was just a brilliant ploy by GBP to stall and to hype up an Irish prospect

    You start off by saying we all know Pac is such and such..Well no I don't know that. Then you say Pac can close distance in a heartbeat, :-:)-:)-( Nuthuggery at its finest, Does this mother****a also eat raw meat, bend steel with his bare-hands, and outrun bullet trains. This whole thread reads like a wet dream. After reading this nonsense We all know something else to "You don't know **** about boxing". Keep your superhuman fantasies about Pac in your mind where they belong.

    actually his forearm covers his ribs really well! When watching the JMM I was looking at places where JMM could land and his ribs were the least exposed.

    Zab did have some success from the southpaw stance and utlilizing speed, but Mayweather figured him out pretty quickly. That being said, I dont think Mayweather will figh Pac like he did Zab just walking him down. I think you'll se a far more mobile Mayweather, but one who will be pumping his jab and straight right hands agressively from the outside. That will offset Pacs movement and combination punching.

    Amen : :clap::clap: I love how, Pac is now capable of biting iron and chewing steel, and no one can stand up to Pac's super human megaton punch.

    Paulie Malignaggi would like to expose another body part to Floyd.

    I dont agree with prety much all of this.....

    1) The "injury" was IMO a fake to either: Get better ticket sales or fall in line with Pacs next fight as he knew he would probably end up facing him next.

    2) I dont think he is any more open to body shots. How many people have said they will destroy his body and fail. I think zab is a reasonable body puncher and look what happened there. Yes he had sucess but he got worked out and exposed in the end.

    3) in all of Floyds fights has he ever let anyone "hit the jackpot". Dont compare ricky hatton to Floyd. It wont get you any respect.

    Please be real. Pac does has advantages going into the fight but floyd using the shoulder roll is not one of them.

    And if i hear one more person say his shoulder roll does not work against southpaws i will scream!!!!
