    Neither... As crazy as it sounds I think we will see Ali-Frazier III more so then any of Floyds recent fights.

    Now that you mention it... Yep. Even worse though because Gatti was just getting hit not leaping into it.

    Mayweather/Pac will be like watching salmon jump into the mouth of a grizzly! :yep

    Very true, I just think that in terms of the pressure, and the accurate punching it will be similar. There wont be as much rope-a-dope and constant hooks but the styles will be similar when it gets to the basics. I can See Floyd winning by UD 12 but getting his chin tested like never before.

    It's going to look like a welterweight version of Holmes vs. Cobb. A sickening beatdown that in this case will make Lampley, instead of Howard Cossell, retire from commentating ever again.

    I could hardly find a charity round to give to Oscar in that fight and I watched the fight in a public place that had 300 Mexicans screaming for Oscar ever time he threw. His pressure looked like silly slappy nonsense to this observer. Oscar has never been an inside fighter. The judges almost never agreed on which rounds Oscar won. Those cards were a mess.

    As for the fight looking like Mayweather Vs. Gatti I'm dead serious. Pac will take longer to fade(especially if he is allowed to use his special vitamins) and be dangerous longer, but his style is all wrong for Mayweather and the gulf in skill is just too wide.

    More like PBF vs Phillip Ndou, Ndou threw like a thousand punches in 6 rounds but got his ass handed to him.

    It depends more on Pac than on Floyd. If pac wants to box then theyll box. If Pac wants to put on the pressure then Floyd has no choice but to return fire.

    Ive said it before that in Hatton's case it was his style that caused him to get knocked out, he forced Floyd to fight a more aggressive fight than say someone like Baldo who would be fine just chasing him around and missing for 12.


    I think it will be closer to JMM-Pac 2 where there is a lot of boxing but some good exchanges with Floyd coming out on top.

    Cotto got stopped because he was getting hit with Pacs shots.... something that mayweather wont allow him to.

    Floyd hits harder than people think. Not KO power but enough to earn a lot of people's respect. Floyd may not hit as hard as cotto but he is far more accurate and he will land his counters more regularly than Cotto did which will be more discouraging for Pac.

    Floyd was backing up mosley who is a tough dude, Pac isnt going to just walk through him all night.
