Floyd does have the skill, but saying he is faster is absurb. I don't think he is faster than Pac, Judah or Berto but I do think he has the skills to beat him. But I think he would be more scared of Pac's output and knowing he does not have the pop in his punches to keep him off of him. Plus he has a chance cause he will throw combos. His combos are not Roy's combos, but he does throw them unlike Shane.
The thing people are missing though is that while Shane irritated Pacquiao & had him frustrated he lost almost every round by doing it. Floyd v Manny is a 50/50 fight still because of the style mix, Floyd will be defensive and frustrate at times but I'm not sure he can keep Pacquiao off by just pot-shotting and I don't see him mixing it up either. That being said, we'll never know who shut unless they do fight. Both fighters have the tendency to surprise me so I could end up way off the mark.
Totally agree. These Pac can't beat Floyd threads are really overwhelming. I don't know who will win until they do the fight. Floyd is using his defense in a court of law right now and he will need at least one tune-up fight before he approaches Manny. This could be a year, year and a half in the making when Floyd will be around 36.
Speed kills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that shoulder roll that gayweather does will not work with pacman,he would have to stand there and try to box manny,the constant in & out by pacman will frustated floyd.........................if the fight goes the distance..............floyd will not get the decision..................pacquiao will..................especially in las vegas....................gayweather backyard!!!!!!!
This fight with Mosley was a confirmation to me that Marquez can and will still at the very least stay competive with the PED user, much more confimation that someone like Mayweather who is still at the top of his game will outright embarrass Pacquiao.
After Floyd saw the Shane knocked down, his balls shrinked like prunes. Floyd cannot imagine himself sitting in the canvass. No way. He does not have the power to hurt Pac. There is a reason why Floyd does not want to fight Pac.
On Pacs speed: "He is fast. Manny is fast. He is faster than anyone I have ever fought" Mosley 5/7/11 On Pacs defense: "I wasn't going to take those kinds of risks. I was looking to land my shot" - Mosley 5/7/11 On Pacs power: "I fought the best fighter in the world," Mosley said. "He has exceptional power, power that I've never been hit like this before." - Mosley 5/7/11 Pac will beat Floyd.
Thats unfortunate, because anyone that knows anythinga about boxing knew that taking risks was a pre-requisite for Mosley to have any chance at getting lucky. Margarito certainly knew that going into the fight and he never stopped trying to land that shot that could change the tide. The more dissapointng thing about it is that Mosley more than Margarito had the snap and punching power that if he were to hurt Pacquiao, he could capitalize. I cant say I'm stunned with Mosley's decision to survive. He pretty much even in his prime has'nt been a mentally strong fighter. Thoughout his career whenever things were'nt going to plan, he'd be seen in his corner head down dejected with his father trying to wake him up out of his funk. Mosley was once and exceptional physical talent, but mentally he was never that strong.
stylewise, yes floyd may pose problems for pac and may win via UD but he is too scared to lose that 0.
Totally agree with this right here. Floyd looked bigger than Mosley and walked him down the whole night. Floyd is stronger than people think and i think Floyd's size and surprising strength will surprise Pacquiao!
