Anybody think Floyd's Size Advantage Over Pac Will Give Him Fits?

    Pac's main problems are MAYS masterful counter punching and defense...

    Everything is else is just another benefit.


    But we forgot one thing... Mayweather is retires, afraid with no urge... although he might posses the skills to dominate PAC i believe his fear of losing that 0 is to much for him.

    Mayweather has a HOF jab
    He's similar to Roy Jones Jr. when it comes to jabs

    When you can land the right hand as frequently as Floyd, you'll use it more frequently and your jab less. Power punch usually tops jab.

    Floyd used his jab all the time as Pretty Boy Floyd. He continued to develop and improve his right hand into what it is today as years went by in the pro game.

    Oh ****!!!!

    He can jab, that is for sure.

    But he does not do it consistently. He is more of a "wait until the opponent fires" then counter rather than a jabber. Did he jab against the smmaller JMM? Did he jab against Molsey? Did he jab against hatton? probably on some instances or short spurts.

    What fights were you watching?

    The entire 9th round of $-Hatton was a jabbing exhibition.

    Granite chinned Mosley's head was being snapped back by Floyd's jab.

    He used his jab immediately after the opening bell rang against Marquez.

    He's been pumping the jab more ever since coming out of retirement. It's one of the most noticeable changes about post-retirement Floyd. You should have been able to spot it with how much you love to follow him.

    Floyd's Timing is one of the best ever. I mean hit and not be hit without much movement is genius.

    Floyd skill is going to be the defining factor of this fight. Pac can over come the size advantage we have seen this countless times.

    Really, that's why Floyd went to a split decision with a 'heavy bag' Oscar, and 10 rounds with heavy bag - Hatton. What r u gonna say when Pac makes Mosley his *****, that's he's a heavy bag too?

    When Floyd fought these guys and when Pacman fought them are almost night and day.

    No. Pac fought HAtton at his best weight class, after he just dominated Malignaggi. Pac is fighting Mosley a year after PBF fought him when he looked like absolute garbage. PBF beat the better version of Oscar no doubt, but ODLH should have at least been able to win a round from Pac, which he couldn't do. If they're nothing but heavybags, then I guess that just makes Floyd look bad.

    ^ This. Ever since that 9th round of Hatton, and the Marquez fight, Floyd has pulled his jab out of his tool box and polished it up. He's got one of theee best jabs in boxing period. And he's always used his trademark jab to the body.
