Pacquiao broke Antonio Margarito's face. NO WAY Floyd takes the fight now. No. Way.

    I can imagine it.

    Pac by UD.

    Floyd won't be able to knock Pac out. Pac won't be able to knock Floyd out because of defense.

    Floyd will think to himself, "I just made Pac miss 7 of 10 shots" then throw 2 shots, and forget that he's being outlanded 3-2, and that's assuming the judges don't think some blocked and rolled punches landed.

    Floyd's downfall will be lack of number of punches thrown, and thinking he's blocked and rolled off more punches than the Judges do.

    Floyd's chin is decent, and he recovers fast. Pac will stun him, but when Floyd goes into complete defense mode, he's hard to hit.

    The problem is defense alone no longer wins fights against an active fighter. Pac is active.

    After the fight, Floyd will complain to EVERYONE he won the fight, that Pac never landed on him, that the judges are corrupt.

    Its not hard to imagine, just look at defensive fighter with no offense in Clottey versus one with defense and offense and a counter puncher and you can only imagine. Problem is that most fans are followers and sometimes refuse to be objective. It will make a good fight though. i mean look at Hopkins and how he fights sheer aggression opponents, do the math.

    Actually, he took a fight with Baldomir for the same as the Margarito offer because he was going to fight Oscar, but Oscar hadn't decided if he wanted the fight. Then he took a fight with Oscar, and then a fight with Hatton. (all for more money than Margarito.)

    I'm surprised but this is actually a decent analysis from 'the other side'. personally, I agree that will happen for the first four to five rounds, but Floyd is a great adapter and you can never rule out that Floyd will adapt and outpoint Manny. that is why this fight needs to happen, so we can see who can adapt better, and I think Floyd would win a very close but clear decision

    I think Marg used everything he had in his arsenal that night.

    I'm 28 and agree with all 3 of those names beating Pac. I might even throw in Meldrick Taylor and Arguello.

    Pac is ducking Mayweather b/c he's black.

    They are scared of the African American style boxing. Whatever that supposed to mean.
