    I don't think he wants to, but I don't think he wants to keep being asked about it either. So, yes.

    Pacman would make Floyd look silly.

    In terms if application, Floyd is far more flawed than Manny.

    How many times? :lol:

    Pac starts faster. Floyd has a major advantage with the precision jab he shoots to the stomach and with the speed he can land it upstairs, but I feel Pacs footspeed and angles will counteract this as the fight progresses. Bar the Mosley fight (not a good gauge for a fight with Pac due to Mosley being so straight on, which has always been his major flaw) we finally saw Floyd up his punch rate: I still have major doubt whether he can hit hard enough to dissuade him and prevent him outworking him.

    Floyds ability to land as Pac is flurrying (the only way to get anything significant through to Manny) will see him land some crisp counter shots, especially his sharp right against the southpaw. But Floyd has a habit of coasting back to the ropes to slip punches, which is all good against the offensive merchants he has already faced, but against Pacquiao? Floyd may be faster with a few punches, but I feel Pacs offensive variety will make it very hard for Floyd to look as defensively impeccable as he has done thus far.

    Both men are very durable. Last time I saw Pac badly buckles was briefly against Mrquez in their second fight. Mosley lacked the nuance to finish Floyd off when Floyd tied him up, and was reluctant to pull the trigger when he had Floyd against the ropes. This will not be a problem for Pac, who can use his fast feet to flurry and then escape, negating the fear of getting caught coming in that a lot of Floyds opponents have had.

    Floyd has a way of making his opponent fight his fight at his rhythm. But against a jazzy southpaw like Pac?!? Are people the forgetting the problems Floyd had with Judah?

    Pacquiao is far from the perfect fighter, but we have seen him operate against a better level of opponent, and Floyds attitude to this fight does make him appear nervous. Floyd Sr himself admitted that he had an aversion to southpaws if I remember correctly.

    Floyd just hasn't proved himself against this level of fighter IMO. To say Pac hasn't would be to disregard a resume that includes a 126lb Barrera at the height of his powers and a Welterweight that Floyd never came close to facing in Cotto, as well as more impressive performances against mutual opposition. Floyd obviously looks pretty flawless to some against Marquez, but who really fought Marquez and who was safety first against him? That's how you proe your greatness, I give Pac more props for his performance in the 2nd fight with Mrquez despite the fact I scored it 115-112 to JMM. Floyds performance was shocking considering how good he's supposed to be (by the likes of Kerminnator and RobPalmer135 and HitmanHatton) and the weight they were fighting at!

    Pacman's foot speed is overrated, he's there to be hit against almost every good fighter he faces.

    Look at his face against JMM...

    Look at his face against Cotto....

    Look at his face against Colletty....

    Look at his face against MAB....

    Look at his face against Morrales....

    and the list goes on.........

    Floyd Mayweather might only drop one round against Pacman. Pacman throws allot of punches and just hopes to land one of them...! If Floyd Mayweather throws a punch, he's landing a punch.......thats the big difference.

    Manny Pac in my opinion has terrible technique, i have never liked how he throws his punches. Its like watching a 3 year old fight, the way he starts throwing his punches........he looks like a charactor of street fighter.

    Bernard Hopkins or James Toney have picked up on this in the past, and i can recall one of them doing a impersionation of Manny Pac throwing a bunch of punches.

    Manny Pac's game plan is simple against Floyd Mayweather, and ive made a eqaution for his game plan.

    Manny Pac + Freddie Roach = Go ape****.

    Manny Pac has to simply go ape ****, and pressure Mayweather all night long. Manny Pac is not as gifted as Zab Judah in the skils department or even a Prime Shane Mosley. Zab Judah was slicker than Manny Pac, and had by far better punching technique..! when you see a fighter go ape**** like Manny Pac does, just to land 2 or 3 punches, it automatically tells me.........that there not really great great technicians.

    Manny Pac is good technician, but he's not on the level of Mayweather, Hopkins, Toney etc

    And people will see this come fight time.

    Two things: Zab Judah? :lol: And Floyd didn't fight a Prime Mosley, also, Pac brings more angles than Mosley. He will be able to land/pressure Floyd like no one has before.

    Floyd, for the most part, has fought pretty one-dimensional and straight-on offensive fighters that can be stunted by movement and intelligence. Some of them have been very good, no doubt, Castillo@135 being his sternest opponent IMO, in terms of formidability, and the state Castillo was in when Floyd fought him. Corrales and Mosley were good opponents for many different reasons, Hatton a decent opponent, although beating him at 147 doesn't say much for it being an 'Elite' or 'great' victory.

    Pac does mark up, and no doubt Floyd will get some beautiful shots in and keep Pac smart at times. I don't see it being one-way traffic, but I just cannot see how Floyd, who has been less than impressive in some of his biggest fights, and is known for a small punch output and has shown he isn't infallible himself, can be seen as such a massive favourite?

    Pacman will win, he will land more punches. He has an unorthodox offensive output Kool, but when has that ever been a bad thing? And how does that make it easier for a guy who relies on timing and anticipating his opponents rushes to catch/slip and land his own eye-catching, precise counter punches? If anything, this match-up favours Pac.

    Pac will trounce Floyd,when he fought Suger and collected that punch that buckled his legs that told him all he wanted to know about his fight with Pac..If that can be done with one shot what will happen when he gets caught with several,and Floyd is made for that straight left and once he keeps his eye on that he'll walk into a right hook....I don't think he'll go for the fight he can't find a big enough edge
