    He walked him down at times, but that fight was no where near being stopped. Floyd touched him up in the 10th round but he didn't go for the stoppage.

    Yes I can see this, I don't predict but I can definitely see this. Not from 1 punch per say, but from smart breakdown boxing. I think Floyd knows the judges can not be trusted and wants to leave no stone unturned. 45 days out!

    I was worried about this too, originally.. however, Mayweather's strength shouldn't be much of a factor unless he throws lead right hands into a clinch non stop like B-Hop.

    Floyd didn't look too strong hitting that wood.

    Who HAS ever walked Manny down! And actually WON doing so??!! Marlos, when Manny was one handed...others have tried, many have failed! Floyd will be #58!

    Well if he has never done that before, it is a lot harder than it looks. Plus who knows when he started chopping. Was it first thing in morning or after a grueling workout? Makes a difference.

    One of the weirdest things on this board is how, before every Floyd fight, his fans claim he is going to walk down so and so and knock him out. It's like they don't even watch Floyd fight. :huh

    No way, not that this gives me more insight, well it kind of does, but I have been in the gym since I was a baby and around weightlifters, bodybuilders, etc and was and is one myself. Pac definitely appears to be the stronger of the two, he has big calves for starters which helps form a good base, and his physique is more stocky where as floyd's more athletic. But for brute strength I would say Pac is stonger. I think if you were to put them both in a gym, I'd say pac outlifts floyd in most exercises, especially lower body ones, but I also think Pac is functionally stronger than Floyd. Pac may be shorter but believe me that doesn't mean **** when it comes to strength, the shorter ones can be very surprising and pac looks like one of those guys to me.

    Floyd is very physically strong, I've never seen anybody physically look stronger than Mosley in a fight at welter. However, Manny likes guys who come at him, so I don't think walking Pac down is a good idea, especially for Manny who has superior footspeed at this point.
