    You can break up a guy's abilities and say that all kinds of guys are better at individual aspects, but that doesn't mean anything. What matters is how they bring it all together as a complete boxer, and PBF is a FANTASTIC boxer.

    I agree for the most part. The guy NEVER throws combinations. Even watch all of his 24/7s. He's always throwing single shots. That's his game. If he never throws combos in training, he sure as hell isn't going to do it in the ring.

    That's why the world wants Pacman/Floyd because they want to see which style will win. The devastating offensive machine versus the amazing counter puncher.

    If you had taken the time to read it, you would see that it's an objective and well thought out post. But i'm sure you didn't.

    This is true. The Mosley win is a heck of a win. Mosley was feared at the time and the public accepted it as a real challenge. Can't discredit wins after the fact. Well, only to some extent.

    Alright, 99.9% of the time he doesn't. And even his combinations are so well placed that they don't come right after the other. He almost never lets his hands go. He is almost always thinking defense first and offense second. What happens when he faces Pacman?

    Floyd controls emmanuel's workrate and wins the fight. emmanuel has had his workrate dictated twice in the past on separate occasions.

    No one has dictated **** to Pacman ever since he polished up his game to a new level. Let's see if Floyd comes back from vacation and manz up.

    I'm neutral, but if Floyd does fight him, he wins a hard-fought decision.

    The thing that drives me mad the most is when the *****s say,

    "We haven't seen Floyd fight in his fullest potential. This is because he doesn't need to"

    None of those guys he's fought ever since he "upped his game" were great counter-punchers either.

    Floyd uses his timing and footwork to control the distance and leverage, so he wins.
