    I'm not living a lie, I go on facts, and what I see on the screen from studying both fighters, you Floyd fans go from a delusional dreamworld where Floyd is an unbeatable god and outboxes everybody in fantasy matchups. The fact is I haven't seen anything from Floyd fighting southpaws that suggests to me he certainly beats Manny Pacquiao. You can say he outboxes, outsmarts, this and that, but it's just talk. I've studied the fighters and I know Floyd's vulnerabilities.

    exactly, even shot Barrera was able to bring down his work rate by boxing with him in the rematch.
    Total Punches: Pacquiao - 249 of 667 (37%). Barrera - 111 of 527 (21%).

    One thing you fail to realize is that Corley and Judah use to spar with Floyd all the time. I bet you didn't know that. Even Corley said he wanted to be one of the sparring partners for Floyd when he trains to fight Manny. Sparring partners tend to know you a lot better than other guys.

    Come to think of it, can someone tell me how pac has improved since his days at featherweight?

    The oonly improvements i have noticed are, better balance right hook and taking a step back when his opponent throws a flurry.

    Floyd has got way more tricks in the bag many o which we havent seen yet.

    I would say the only difference other than the one you mentioned was the addition of Alex Ariza to their camp and his opponents

    whitch part did I say anything negative you **** bag? All these talks that Floyd pull a gatti at pac is beyond pathetic. When was the last time Floyd did something like that at welterweight? Pssh. Floyd fought Mitchel, Baldomir Hatton Marquez ( WTF ) Old man Mosley, Judah at Welterweight and those mentioned were never anything close to elite or at their primes at WW. Floyd was a beast at 135 and below but to say that he is the same at WW is beyond pathetic.

    Funny how the same mother****ers who keep regurgitating that Pac is still the same way in how he fights at 126 at welterweight are the same ones who keep insisting that Floyd is still the same fighter when he was at 135 at welterweight. Damn these morons are unbelievable.

    Thats what I am trying to figure out. He has added the right hight hook and thats it. He still has that same rhythm and he still has sloppy foot work at times and as soon as he gets hit he goes back into his old ways and falls in with a lot of punches. I give him his just do bc he does what he is suppose to do in that ring but what his fans fail to realize is that your opponent has to be in front of you to land all the punches he lands. They think Manny would have landed a 100 punches a round on a prime Whitaker. LMAO!!

    That's one of the reason I totally lost interest in Floyd. I say he quit boxing and pursue Rap instead.

    exactly, i posted this video on another thread and Leon had showed me it first, but it's very insightful and it talks about Manny's opponent selection and whether he changed as much as people say he did

    floyd does'nt have the offfense to beat pac....the only way hed win is if he runs aand potshots, and hope for a decision..even then he would have to throw so much more than his usaual output.....if he trades and stays in the pocket , he gets koed/tkoed in the late rounds!

    Doesn't he kind of have to get in the ring to easily beat Pacquiao first?

    jmm has is a very offensive fighter with excellent combos who is not afraid to get hit only to dish his own unlike floyd....so using him as to how floyd would do vs pac is just plain stupid....
