    Floyd, is 2 inches taller and will have a 5 inch reach over Pacman. Floyd with all his skills will have all the physical advantages in this fit and that will five Pacman fits.

    Floyd was winning on the scorecards going away at the time of the stoppage.

    Only Lampley, Merchant, and Steward thought Hatton had any success. They were complete bitches the night of the fight.

    "Hatton is MAKING Floyd fight harder". LOL!!! :rofl:rofl:rofl

    And the point is Pac fights like hatton?

    Hatton is hattonized in 2 rounds by Pac, so what is the point?

    hatton had more success against Floyd, the supposed bigger opponent than against Pac despite the referee not allowing climhing and in-fighting, which is the style of Hatton!!!

    Floyd, is better skilled,taller, stronger and has a bigger reach advantage. All this for Floyd, added with speed and his defensive abilities will spell doom for Pacman, seriously.

    And the biggest ***** in boxer ever.

    If there is a hall of fame for the biggest ***** in boxing, he would be ATG number 1.

    With better skill, taller, stronger, longer reach, and fighting a one-dimensional fighter with a purse of 50 million guaranteed, you would think that he would sign the contract without batting an eyelash.

    Even Ivan Calderon would not hesitate to sign a contract against a fighter who dwarfs him and with a purse not even 1/50th that ridiculous amount.

    Seriously!!!!

    blah blah. Sugar Ray Leonard is a ***** for waiting for Hagler to get old, not giving Hearns a quicker rematch and ducking Pryor

    Jack Johnson is a ho for not giving Langford a title shot

    SRR ducked Archie Moore :blabla

    No professional boxer is a ***** :deal (I don't believe any of that **** above ^^)

    It is known that SRL waited for Hagler to get old.

    And he immediately rematched Duran because they knew that Duran had a habit of balooning in size after fights... that is well documented. So what is your point?

    SRL fought them regardless. You homo boy fought Pac in the twitter. Big difference.

    And David Haye, who is supposed to be the biggest ***** in boxing! Guess what? Not anymore....

    Size will not be an issue here, it will be ability v ability & the better fighter will win the fight... fighting `big` vs Pac is suicide, you must out-skill him to beat him & very few have enough skill to even be competitive with Pac never mind beat him.... Mayweather tho is a whole different game & one that IMHO will be a step too far for Manny.

    if he allows floyd to constantly clinch, yes. if you try and break free of a clinch with a bigger guy, you expend much more energy than he does. all he has to do is lean on you and youre burning more energy than he is. i would expect pac to work on breaking free of clinches with certain punches to try and discourage floyd from tieing up. none of the big guys that pac has fought have tried holding him, they all came in to throw punches or cover up. i stated before pac vs jmm II that i thought juan could beat him desisively if he learned when to clinch to take away some of pacs explosiveness. of course this isnt the same animal anymore.
    i think its going to come down to determination. both men have enough pop to discourage most men from putting themselves in harms way. floyd is great at making you pay for using your favorite way of closing distance or throwing your lead punch. he will counter that move repeatedly with hard shots. most men start to think they are being set up every time they try that move and it makes them undecisive on how to come in. they start fighting outside their game plan and thats when floyd starts to take over.
    pac, unlike most fighters, seems to like to retaliate with multiple shots whenever he gets countered with a hard shot. he makes you pay for catching him. even if only one of those 5 combination punches lands, its still telling you that you are going to get hit every time you land your single counter. this could discourage floyd once many narrows it down to which punches are geting in and from where. for floyd to capitalize on mannys aggression, he will be forced to open himself up more and this is where i think pac takes over.

    Mayweather's reach and jab are going to destroy Pac. Pac is going to eat jabs all night and then be forced to move forward to make up for all of the jabs he is eating... And eat even more jabs and right hands. Manny's face is going to look like posole.

    You guys are hilarious. YDKSAB.

    Why would he clinch with Pac? Pac can't fight inside! Outside Pac is at a reach disadvantage so will eat jabs. Pac's only chance is moving in being aggressive. Unlike Pac's other opponents Mayweather is actually fast and has the ability to time.

    Pac's just knocks aggressive guys out. There is no science to this. Like heavybags they are always there right in front of him.
