    I think the outcome of this fight depends on the state of Floyd's legs. And to see how he adapts to Pac. Pac is a weird, awkward fighter. High footspeed and handspeed combined with one of the highest workrates and best combination punching in the game, and to boot he's a southpaw, which will definitely make Floyd's counter timing significantly more difficult.

    I think success against Floyd is often a matter of heart. Do you have the chin and endurance to step through and take that straight right counter? So far no fighter has been able to do it. I think Mosley might have been able to if he was younger(and on EPO, lolll) but the only fighter out there that fits those criteria right now is Pac. Pac also has to go all out at the bell and try as hard as he can to break Floyd's incredible mental game or hurt him in the early rounds. One thing we've learned about Money is that he's a brilliant tactician in the long and short term. I have no doubt that he will adapt even to a fighter as unorthodox as pacquiao during the fight.

    It's too hard to call at this point. All i can say is that a lot of vcash is gonna be lost over this one, and these boards are going to be a ****ing mess after this fight.

    Yeah and this **** isn't happening.

    It's either Floyd UD or Pac KO.

    Nope.

    Floyd can win by KO or UD. Pac can also get a decision too.

    Pac is too open to right hands. Floyd got rounds robbed from his AZZ vs DLH for throwing 30 punches against 70 per round, so if he's gets too satisfied with just looking good than emmanuel can steal rounds from him.

    Also, Mosley who had a better chin couldn't simply walk str8 through Void's right hands. Here's a poll I did awhile back where the forum all agreed that Mosley chin > emmanuel chin.

    23 for Mosley, 2 for pac

    That train of thought is exactly why you're sporting Ellerbe as your avatar.

    This post is a mess.

    Your mind is a messy place.

    What is going on here?

    Is this supposed to be three reasons "Manny will never lose to Floyd"? The title promises a reason - singular, not plural.

    Even if it's reasons, there only seems to be one given - that "Floyd does well against fighters that lack defense"...which itself is not really a reason that Manny can't lose to him. He may have better defensive abilities than a Gatti, but he's still no Whitaker.

    Then #2...is just sour grapes on the DLH fight, and again not a reason Manny can't lose to Floyd. Completely different fighter, different matchup.

    #3 is just a name. What about Shane Mosley, exactly?

    Like I said, a mess.

    If PBF could not hurt Pac, then he is screwed.
