    That means nothing. Don't you see, its his weakness? One super straight right and Pac will be dropped 4 times to the canvas from one punch!

    You all think Floyd doesnt know this already? You see one ****ysis and think WOW thats the key. Im pretty sure Floyd knows he has to come out fighting and he will come out fighting, throw combinations and not sit back and lose rounds.

    How and why does he know this? Because he is fighting the best fighter he has ever faced, same with Manny. Floyd dominated opponents at will by doing what he liked purely because he could, he toyed with them.

    He cant do this with Manny. Or maybe he can, maybe Floyds ring generalship, stance and dominance will be the same with Manny. He wont allow Manny to get into the positions he needs to in order to throw let alone land.

    Yes manny feints and throws from akward angles, but he also attacks in straight lines with limited head movement. He himself is also succeptable to the counters and feints (see JMM 3 when he used the feint and bait technique).

    Floyd hates southpaws like every other fighter, Manny hates counter punchers. Both fast fighters, both amazing fighters. Makes for a bloody great night if you ask me.

    you never seen him in his genaro hernandez fight, or his fight against the cuban in the olympics??? This dude can fight, and if hes forced to fight in this one he will rise to the occasion.

    and regarding Tyson. They said (including Tyson himself) that Buster Douglas' style couldn't beat Tyson's style either and we all know what happened there!

    Floyd hates to be hit so hes going to avoid those punches and furries if possible that are coming from different angles.
    But how many hits can Floyd take coz ive never yet seen any pacs opponents that he fought without leaving their faces swelled or bleeding?

    Fighters tend to lean towards fighter that mimic their styles and Pac and Tyson in his heyday were similar in styles. However, Holyfield, Douglas and Lewis showed what a boxer can do. Same thing Mayweather is gonna do. He will make Pac respect his mental and physical game and a knockout of Pac is not out of the question.

    If floyd fought pacman straight up for sure he will not be called pretty. his face will be busted but the key to his easy victory is running, holding and frustrating pac by points. as for PAC he need to intelligently pressure PBF and throw combination to the body up to the head.

    People say Floyd can brawl with Manny, but I don't ever think it's a winning situation to brawl with someone who has more power than you, faster than you, and throws in quick combinations. I get the accuracy thing, but I don't think that's enough to win him a brawl against Manny. Floyd's a defensive-oriented fighter. That's who he is. And fighting Manny is stepping into Manny's playing-field and the type of style Manny's excelled at the most his career.

    I just don't see it as a winning scenario, IMO. But if Floyd could go in and brawl against a guy who's more powerful, faster, and experienced AND WIN then all props to him. That's a true champion. But, just as I can't see Manny beating Floyd at his game (going in and pot-shoting), I can't see Floyd beating Manny at his.

    Floyd is less than a 2-1 favorite

    I agree with Tyson, as it will be great fight but no one can predict the results. Both have something special which confuse everyone to say something about result of fight but we can rely on Tyson like professionals views.

    Rightttttttt........ the same way Bradley's face looked busted up after the first fight too right??? Pac supposedly landed over 200 shots and bradley walked away like he was never in a fight,more less a fight against Pacquaio.. stop overhyping Pacs power already..were not in 2009 anymore.

    Mike has an opinion. Where everyone fails is that they truly underestimate Floyds defense. Pac won't be connecting on Floyd even if he threw 200 punches a round lol... All it takes is one counter right from Floyd and Pac is asleep lol.

    Floyd offense against Pac will be limited. Since he can't rely on his shoulder roll, his counters will be less efficient/effective. It will be risky too for Floyd to throw jabs. Mayweather also does not throw a jab to the gut against a southpaw.
