    He does....Floyd is good at neutralizing most styles....actually 98% of all the fighters he's faced. He's only struggled with DLH, JLC and EA. Floyd can adapt during a fight without much problem, but with Manny....he's not gonna be able to get the kind of breathing room that 99% of fighters allow....Manny will be on him from start to finish and it's not gonna be easy. He could win and its a strong possibility....I just feel Floyd is as good as he is based on his confidence level and knowing he will beat his opponent without hesitation....I don't see that in him with Manny. He shows things that I've never seen from Floyd....EVER. So with those reservations I see him making mental mistakes and ends up loosing to PAC if the fight happens. Floyd is smart but it won't come down to who is smarter in the ring...it will come down to who's style and gameplan will be more sucessful. Roach and Mannny always have a solid game plan where floyd adapts and adjusts in the ring....I don't think that will be enough this go round. But we'll see.

    Pac will be swollen and busted up from getting hit with clean leads and counters all night long. It won't be a pretty site to say the least.

    You can go snitch to the mods like the *** you are i dont give a ****,nobody takes your ******ed ass serious around here anyway.

    As for the thread,i agree that Mayweather has the style to give Pac all kinds of trouble but its easier said than done and first he has to get past Sugar Shane.

    Mayweather has the best style in boxing. The only thing that may trouble him in this fight is his lack of power, and Pac's ability to take shots.

    And his chin is questionable because nobody can test it.

    I'm not so sure though.

    Mayweather landed over 60% of his shots on Marquez, and at one point was even landing right hook combinations, yet Marquez was merely "scuffed" up.

    If Mayweather lacks one thing in his arsenal, it's power.

    If Mayweather could punch, he would be practically unstoppable.

    And the same can be said of Floyd. Floyd admittedly has the size advantage against Pac, but i've hear a lot of people say Pac gats killed by MAB, Hatton, DLH, Cotto and Clottey.

    Pac doesnt exude that technical superiority against this textbook fighters, but still finds a way to win.

    Pac will be the underdog once pitted against Floyd, but it will surely keep the fans on the edge of their seats once the bell rings in the first round.

    His critics will always find his flaws as easy pickings, but i'm confident that once you take Pac for granted, you wont be seeing those flaws as a disadvantage.

    I can't see this fight ever happening, because I think Freddy Roach knows better than anyone that Floyd is the worst thing that could ever happen to Pac.

    PBF will get the type of room because he has longer arms, will get off first and his superior footwork, he's a master of creating distance. He will also clinch Manny and get the better of him on the inside. Manny can't deal with movement and looks lost and frustrated when he sees it, because he wants to go to war. His not facing slick boxers for his career will come back to bite him in the ass here because Pac isn't adept at cutting off the ring or sustaining a dedicated body attack. Pac won't win anymore than 3 rounds at best in this fight. The Zab fight will be more difficult for PBF than Pac will be because of styles.

    Floyd has been caught by straight lefts and right hooks from southpaws.

    And we'll see Floyd get tagged from awkward angles like we've never seen before. Just one of the few things that made Sr. think Pac's on to something.:hey

    His face did sustain damage though. Pac as of late has been swelling up and busting up more. I have no doubt in my mind that if Clottey can do that to Pac as little as he landed then PBF surely will do that and more.

    Hate to sound like a broken record,"we all heard this from Floyd himself" but,its hard to have a gameplan to beat someone that hasn't been beaten.
    It will be a great mega fight that i personaly as a boxing fan want to see more then any other fight.
    It will be very interesting on the boxing sites after that one.
