    Mike understands size advantage. Floyd has speed and size. Too much of an advantage.

    Mike knows his stuff, everybody knows pbf has a style and size advantage. The draw of the fight is whether pac can overcome it

    Everybody knows it, Style wise Floyd is gonna dominate Pac. But If there's anyone out there who can beat Floyd. It's Pac (Given the weight range)

    If this was Pac's first jump up to up WW then maybe I'd buy the size advantage thing, but Pac now has 4 fights at 147, and above and its about to be 5 when he takes on mosley. He and his team refused to even consider meeting Marquez at 140. He's a WW and if he wins it will be because he's was the better fighter, and if he loses then it will be because Floyd was the better fighter.

    People are already trying to make excuses to discredit Floyd's win.

    Tyson is friends with Mayweather so of course hes going to pick him.

    I bet he would pick Judah to beat Pac too.

    Its the marquez fight that makes everyone believe floyd will time pac and counter pac, with his size and reach advantage its logical why he is the favourite with the bookies and if everything goes like its should floyd would win a ud. However for some reason mayweather is way more cautious and doesnt look very excited about the fight, which is kind of weird considering the advantages he has coming in and how much money he makes. I also dont think it necesarily has to go like marquez fight who exchanged a lot of punches with pac where floyd would try to potshot. I believe the longer floyd waits it might backfire on him, he needs to fight him asap.

    fans made excuses, after the fight mike was surprisingly calm and gave buster a lot of credit.

    Floyd's inactivity will hurt him whenever he decides to fight Manny. I favor Pacquaio to beat him at this point.

    Your comment doesn't make sense. Iron Mike's opponents had the size advantage on him, yet he chopped them down (often inside of one round).

    But most people know that they were true. Mike was undertrained, unprepared and had one of the most inept corners I've ever seen for that fight. You had guys with no endswell trying to stop swelling with a balloon full of water.:patsch

    Of course ultimately that's nobody's fault but Tyson's, but let's not act like Douglas, beat a properly trained, bob and weave, rapid fire combinations, Rooney trained Tyson. Plus the Douglas that showed up in Tokyo that night, could've held his own with HW.

    does anybody el;se think pac vs floyd would end up looking like b-hop vs calzaghe? If floyd tries to bully manny and trade with him he will get stopped, his best chances are defense,moving,potshotting to a wide decision.

    Floyd won't trade with anybody, that a tactic employed by fighters with poor defense. But he could stand on the pocket with Manny and beat him on the inside. If there's one thing that people should have learned by now, it's that Floyd is a versatile fighter.

    I don't care what excuses people want to make about Mosley, fact is he was the #1 WW, and fight everybody called for, and Floyd walked him down and broke him mentally. Floyd doesn't have to move and potshot Manny if he doesn't want too.
