    Tim just said in a interview not to long ago that he understands what Floyd is talking about with drug testing. So now he is saying Mayweather is scared? I guess he is trying to pull another Paul Williams so he can get a fight with Floyd.

    Void know that Pac will knock him out if they ever fight, so Void refuses to fight!

    Bradley is underestimating the Pacman. Can't blame him. Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, and Margo all underestimated him too. It's not something new.

    Floyd, on the other hand, is the smartest of them all. I am with a lot of *****s here that Floyd is very smart. Very smart.

    It was all Pac's fault. If he didn't KO Ricky in rd 2 and embarrass FMsr so much we could have watched pac floyd even before pac cotto. Why didnt he just do what he did to cotto, clottey and marg - make it look competitive?

    I dont know if it will be easy, A lot o *****´s think mayweather would school pac like whitaker did chavez. I dont know about that at the very best I can see him win a 8-4 decision fighting kind of like leonard vs duran 2.
    I personally think pac tko´s him, I have a feeling his inactivity would catch up with him and he would eventually get caught and stopped. Possibly early.
    If that doesnt happen and floyd never gets hurt or cut then I think it will be like Clazaghe vs b-hop where I would give mayweather the edge to pull out a close decision because of his style and size advantages.

    I don't get the consensus Floyd whips pac. They have a bunch of common opponents, and the ones that Floyd struggled with Pac took care of easily, and the one Pac struggled with Floyd UDed easily.

    Reggie Sanders, Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, (and Oscar) all hit Floyd with the left and Floyd had to use his high come forward guard. None of them are pressure fighters except maybe Oscar at times, so Floyd was not only a superior athletic specimen but had time to think it through. (and then the gym bs about Paul Spadafora, but we know that's just sparring)

    Ricky Hatton, Castillo, and Chavez were able to swarm Floyd very effectively, but his defense is so good agains orthodox right hand attacks and body shots it was irrelevant, and except Hatton they were all much slower than Floyd, definitely.

    Pac is the only left handed power swarmer with a work rate and speed to hit Floyd every once in a while. So far Pac's weakness has been an iron chinned guy who can take his left and counter with a strong right hand, but I think the style match up and previous opponents indicate Floyd is not as iron chinned and unhurtable as Morales, just way way way harder to hit. Swarming and speedy strong left handedness make this a bad bad match up for Floyd and its clear to him, he knows boxing styles and how they match up better than anyone.

    Having said that, Floyd has the best skill set in the world and it may be that when he gets in there it doesn't matter, he may still be better than Pac, DESPITE THE STYLE DISADVANTAGES FOR FLOYD, but it won't be easy, Pac won't shut down at this stage.
