    While true not exactly the kind of thing you can exploit. I mean what do you want Pac to do punch Money's hand right as Money tries to hit him.

    The flaw to this argument is that you assume that Pacquiao is gonna throw 7-8 combinations often on Floyd. You assume that that is what I meant when I talk about Pac's workrate against Floyd and that's how he'll overwhelm Floyd. No buddy, he won't throw that many punches considering how accurate Floyd is. When I say Pacquiao will overhwelm 'Money', he'll still gonna throw alot of punches/combinations on him, but I meant on the 3-4-5 punch combination range which is usually the no. of punches he really throws. Since he moved up to 126lbs, he has developed this habit of throwing 3-4-5 combinations, step back, then step in and throw the same amount of punches again, sometimes 1 punch less.

    That unpredictability is what allows him to beat his opponents and even trouble fighters greatly who are supposed to be a stylistic nightmare for him(i.e JMM). He is not your typical workrate/pressure fighter who is always in front of you throwing punches. He would throw combinations at you, then step back creating this false sense of breathing space, but out of nowhere here he comes again with a second set of combinations(thanks to his great footspeed), and sometimes its different types of punches on a different angle than the first one. This sequence of moves helps him in not getting hit as much as a typical workrate/pressure type of fighter. You'll really have to throw combinations yourself to really get him, which was something that Morales, Marquez AND a 130-135lb version of Floyd were great at. But not so much on this 147lb version.

    That is how I see Pac overwhelming Floyd. Not this assumption of Pac throwing 7-8 combinations nonstop. That is a recipe for disaster for Pac. He should only use that if he's sure he's got Floyd in trouble.

    Workrate will play a big part in this I'm sure. Especially with someone as accurate as Pac.

    Yes. Pac has head movement and a decent defense. Morales and Marquez have good workrate while Floyd not so much. And Marquez is a counterpuncher but employs it in a VERY different way than Floyd. You can't simply compare them.

    Oh, good. Hopefully this fight gets made, now. This is a very, very, very good sign that it will.

    health.........health.......health

    they could watch all Gayweather's fight and end up being bored and the fight will still not happen. Health is very imporrtant, after the vacation, and drug testing.
