    Been watching tape of Floyd particularly the DLH fight. Floyd just looks ordinary anytime he's fighting someone with good boxing skills and size/speed. He doesn't know how to put punches together to create openings, can't take a punch, he freaks out under pressure, especially if he gets hit, and goes into a shell. Pac is faster with his hands and feet. He's younger. He's really stylistic hell for Floyd right now. I don't know how anyone can't see this. Floyd's also slowing down now, he's getting older and his agility/athleticism isn't what it once was. That was always his crutch in his fights, but he never fought any fighters who could expose this (except for a prime Castillo who beat him, and an old DLH who made him look one dimensional). Even Ricky HAtton took him 10 rounds and made it competitive for a while. A younger prime Hoya and Mosley would have beaten him rather easily. I guarantee you Pac will completely expose him if they ever meet (which won't happen bc Floyd knows what's in store for him). What more evidence do you need that he's afraid then all of this blood testing nonsense, and going back into retirement after he's made a pile of money. He's got no reason to fight Pac right now.

    The main thing is Pac's speed, athleticism which is superior to floyd right now. His footwork will drive Floyd nuts, and Floyd has absolutely no answer for Pac's offense, at all. He doesn't throw enough, do enough, and he simply doesn't know how to take a risk which he's gonna need to do to have any chance against Pac. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have the balls to deal with Pac. He's get destroyed rather easily.

    I'll put a lifetime bet on the line if this fight comes along that not only Pac beats him but absolutely dominates him and makes him look silly. Floyd is the most overated boxer in history. Even defensively he's overrated. Hopkins has a better, more dynamic defense. Don't get me started on Whitaker and many others. A guy who can't even string together 3 punches can never be called a great boxer. He's a great potshot artist, but that's a one-dimensional style that'll get exposed against the right opponent.

    I hope the fight happens just so we can see the myth finally ended. But that's why it won't ever happen. I've been saying it for while. The only way this fight might happen is if Pac looks bad in his next fight. That's the only way.

    I think Pac and Floyd both have gotten way, way beyond the level where you can bring the term "exposed" out on either of them .

    floyd lured hatton into a false sense of security then blasted him into the turnbuckle....

    size will not be an advantage for manny!!

    I can't see past a pbf victory.... he's only improved imo

    "expose".. Most over used, irrelevant term in the sport. If PAC wins, it means he beats Floyd, one of the greatest fighters of our generation. He won't be 'exposing' **** by doing so though.

    To say that would mean anyone who beats PAC is exposing him. Oh hang on, he's already been beat.. Well he's exposed, no point in following him anymore, he's don't got no 0............

    If they get it on no matter who wins it's two of the best having a stitch up which is a rare commodity by any boxing era's standards.

    Too much wrong with this post. It's hard to know where to begin.

    Floyd cannot be exposed, even if he loses to Pac. He has too much accomplishment already under his belt.

    IMO, Floyd has the edge over Pac (very slight edge) in most areas of the game.

    Some of your points are a real stretch.

    He freaks out under pressure ?
    He can't take a punch ?


    I would agree that he quite probably have lost to prime versions of Oscar and Shane, but that's not a certainty.


    The one point in your post I do agree with is that Floyd clearly fears Pac. It is obvious he's avoided him. Twice.

    And this could be the equalizer if they ever meet.

    If you had boxed before you would know what boxers are taught.What happens when many shots are thrown at you,you cover up that's what you call a shell.It's something boxing trainers teach their students.Every boxer is one shot away from being knocked out.The whole point is for you not to get caught by a clean shot then counter from such a position.

    Manny isnt all that.Marquez showed the world what Manny cant deal with and Floyd is way better than Marquez.Manny gets hit every time he fights he leaves with a swollen face.What that shows is he is countered a lot because he throws all those shots.Manny wont throw many shots when he fights Floyd Mayweather,from round 2 onwards Manny will be slow.If you watch early rounds of Mayweather,there is a way he throws his jab and appears like he misses.He steps in with his left foot,his target goes down to avoid it,Floyd appears like he will have missed,the referee comes to separate them but the job is done.Floyd does that 2-3 times early in the fight,after that it's target practice.I wont say much but Manny is an easy fight for Mayweather,all Manny has to do is prove he is steroid free.

    He could have taken a **** test every single day during training camp up to the fight and you bunch of bitches would still be crying about how he's probably cheating or masking it, even though they test for masking agents. They could wake him up and take his **** sample. Get at him during dinner and **** tested him. Told him to stop ****ing some woman who isn't his wife for a split second and get a **** sample. And it wouldn't be enough because it isn't blood testing. Stfu with that steroid free ****.

    Yeah he freaks out under pressure. Anytime he's pressured or hit, he goes into pannick mode and stays in a shell. He's not confident in his ability to take a punch, which is why he never takes risks. Mosley rocked him with the only two flush shots he landed. He's got an average chin at best.


    What areas? Pac is faster with his hands and more importantly his feet. He's more more agile, more dynamic offensively, better puncher, younger. Also at this stage of the game he's in his prime and Floyd isn't, plain and simple. Floyd can't deal with Pac's offense. He doesn't throw enough or put punches together, and he's not durable enough when it comes to taking punishment. What's Floyd going to do when Pac springs in behind feints and unleashes combinations? You know Floyd only throws 1 punch at a time, sparingly. He's not a very tough, durable guy. Pac will wear him down fast. For every punch Floyd lands, Pac will come back with 3, 4, or 5. Floyd won't be able to do anything about it because he doesn't have the toughness, the chin, or the power to hurt Pac, and he doesn't take risks so he won't give himself a chance to win anyway. Think of the first 4 rounds of the Judah fight but ramp up Judah's offense x10 and sustain that for 12 rounds. Floyd won't be able to do anything about it. He could hardly do anything about an old, over the hill DLH. He got taken to a split decision for **** sake.

    Blood test after the fight in the locker room, and two during the leadup to the fight. Unlimited **** tests as well. Floyd still too scared to fight him.

    Pac would stop him, unlike Mosley Pac won't gas in 2nd round.
