    I havent seen too many boxers speaking highly of Floyd ever since this whole testing debacle with Pac to be honest. Many boxers have publically bashed Floyd for being scared and not wanting anything to due with Pac.

    Its not that they respect Floyd more. Some have dissed him. Most boxers believe that he will beat Manny and that is all.

    :lol: Actually there are FAR MORE boxers who respect PAC than Floyd. While Floyd has guys like Kermit the frog, Paulie Malinaggi and Juan Diaz siding with him., PAC has guys like Holmes, Hagler, Leonard....and many more who side with him.

    Even Zab and James side with PAC over Floyd. Most boxers who speak on this are like the rest of the vast majority. They know Floyd is ducking PAC and they see right through his "Specail" demands as a way to avoid the fight.

    Right...there are quite a few that believe Floyd would beat Manny but they don't condone his actions or his measures to duck PAC.

    It's funny more of Floyd's own peers believe in him than he does in his own ability to beat Manny.

    Can Floyd do what Pacquiao does offensively?

    "Respect" is different than picking Floyd to beat PAC. I think you need to change your thread title.

    There are many who feel PAC would beat Floyd or Floyd would beat PAC. It's pretty much split down the middle in the boxing world. In the general public it's more lopsided as most feel Floyd is ducking PAC for a reason...one that gives an indication of how the fight will go If Floyd ever steps up.

    Only boxer i remember publicly criticising Pac, was Malignaggi. But then when he got the chance to train at The Wild Card, he was all over Pac's cawk
