    Yes, I agree. Pac wont only be hit/timed coming in but also when he jumps back out. Stylistically, this is a bad matchup for Pac, but I think he can make it competitive. In the end, he's too easy to hit for such a sharpshooter like Floyd. I wouldn't argue with Floyd stopping him at all. Especially if Pac decides to throw caution to the wind if he's losing.

    I think Mayweather and B-Hop were the two most technically skilled fighters of the last 10 years.

    lol...he gonna move forward for one round and press the fight...than he'll be boxing and "running" the next round scoring some more points...BACK TO BOXING ON HIS FRONT FOOT AND PRESSING THE FIGHT AGAIN AFTER HE CONFUSES MANNY..floyd's footwork is above any active fighter..PAC'S "FOOTSPEED" WONT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PROPER MOVEMENT...PLUS FLOYD DONT LIKE TO GIVE HIS OPPONENTS ANGLES, THUS WHY HE STAYS 2 STEPS AHEAD OF EM

    Well, yup...it is very good. I dont see how people consider Floyd boring. Top level stuff like that is never boring to me, unless we're talking most of the Baldomir fight. The man can sense what his opponent is going to throw and he can accurately read little movements too. Everything is automatic. I don't see anybody on the horizon, or up and comers, who have those kind of defensive reflexes and instincts.

    manny is going to have to keep moving too... no standing in front of the guy and waiting for an opening...he is going to have to keep moving around him and find them angles and spots... the mayweather camp knows this already..but i'm sure the joshua clottey plan will not be utilized.

    then he goes on to say that he thinks floyd ducked margarito because everyone feared him.

    oh yea, I didn't find that exciting or all that enjoyable. It was a clinic, but it got really dull and predictable. Floyd used excessive movement in that one. Was it because of his hand problems?
