    manny does not need to cutoff the ring in the fight since floyd has no legs anymore its the perfect time for Pac to take him on and he knows it that is why he won`t fight him.

    Use the jab to counter that right.

    Mosley, who has actually been in the ring with $, said Floyd has the quickest feet he's ever faced. His word holds much more weight than yesterday I was white, today I'm filipino freddie roach.

    Gilo you clearly don't know anything about boxing. What one fighter does to a fighter doesn't mean anything to what another does. Personally, I didn't think it was clear of a split decision. Floyd is known to give away rounds. He does make adjustments (judah, Oscar, even Mosley).

    I think it's more fair to compare this fight to a Roy jones Jr Vs James Toney. RJJ was so unorthodox that it gave a great defensive and fundamentally sound fighter like Toney all sorts of problems. Was it a shutout? No. Is this potential fight going to go down like that? Perhaps. However FMJ is better than a prime Toney due to work ethic and conditioning (Toney also was having weight issues even at that fight). The fight really is a toss up. I don't care what anyone says; it is completely unpredictable. I give the edge to Floyd but it is anyone's fight. However you Gilo are just a plain Nub.

    Dude what the **** is Bernstein talking about? He guaranteed Manny will land 400 punches on Floyd? ROFL.


    I agree with his general assessment, but his math is ****ing way off.

    i disagree, i think floyd could and would hurt manny.the punches manny dont see coming will be the ones that hurt him the most.floyd will box manny from the outside and if he feels real comfy he will fight manny on the inside and here comes the body work.would if floyd walked down manny like he did judah
    that ****s up fighters when they think floyd is about to box and move and instead he comes forward.i think floyd will do it all when he fights manny.hell we might even get to see mayweather's a game he alwyas talks about.he says he beats fighters using his c game, id like to see the a game or atleast the b game.

    Floyd will win. It is not that hard to see. The fight will be competitive but Floyd would win. Manny isn't going to beat Floyd with the flaws he has. He doesn't have a jab, his defense isn't good enough, and he isn't going to bully Floyd around the ring. Don't be surprised about the outcome because I won't.

    He doesn't need a jab bro, he's a southpaw and the fact that he's unconventional gives him an edge on Maywaether. Floyd isn't used to fighting guys like him.

    The outcome is gonna be a Pac TKO or UD. Floyd won't be able to deal with the offense. If you've seen him in with southpaws, he's way more hittable and his defensive game isn't the same. He's also more aggressive, which plays into Pacquiao gameplan.

    Manny is all wrong for him - leftie, fast hands and feet, unconventional, power in both hands, iron jaw, and a great combination puncher. Floyd's style of throwing 1 shot at time and trying to break down his opponents isn't going to get the job done on pacquiao. He'll get overwhelmed and broken down.

    If you think Floyd is just going to counter him to death, that isn't going to happen - #1 bc when he's got a fast puncher in front of him blitzing him, his mentality will be to cover up rather then throw back so he doesn't risk getting hit. #2 Floyd doesn't ever throw combinations. It's always one punch. Marquez gave Pac trouble because he threw punches in bunches, especially as a response to Manny's attack.

    Floyd's gonna do more-or-less what Clottey did - look for one shot at a time and potshot Manny and escape from being hurt, but he's not going to pile on enough points that way. Mannys just gonna hunt him down and beat him up.

    There's no way possible Pacman out boxes Floyd. Floyd, is a defensive genius and has a great chin. Floyd, wins this particular match-up 10/10.

    Then why the hell won't Floyd just fight Pac? Why all the blood testing and $100 million purse demands? Floyd himself thinks you're wrong on that :deal
