    according to ariza...and many others close to the pac camp...it's arum that won't allow pac/floyd...not floyd.

    pac/floyd will resemble gatti/floyd. only pac gets ktfo'd.

    i'm not totally convinced cotto will beat floyd, but i believe he has a better chance than pac.

    if cotto and pac were to rematch...and pac doesn't try to comprise cotto with a catchweight...cotto beats him.

    pac isn't getting past bradley.

    and according to floyd, he is rejecting the 50/50 split from pac and even the 60/40 to the winner since he won't be forced into a fight like ali was forced to fight frazier due to health concerns. floyd's own words.

    *****? u have me mistaken. i'm a fight fan...not a fighter fan. i've been watching boxing all my life. i've had favorites...but when they lose, i don't stop watching. when pac gets beat by bradley...u and the rest of the *******s will bounce. ur days are numbered. :lol:

    pac will be irrelevant after the bradley fight.

    Well you could be right(i'm not too sure about it, I personally think it could be a style problem with Pacquaio, but we won't know until they fight again) but i'm convinced that he does beat Mayweather from what i've seen in terms of his preparation.(just my opinion though) Mayweather will be at his best shape but his training habits haven't changed in terms of what he does, and you have to add more to your game because if you don't, eventually someone will have a certain style that will put the seal on it.

    I'll be shocked if Bradley beats him. I don't see that happening.

    i am picking bradley also. pacquiao is certainly past his best. floyd missed the boat back in 2009 or early part of 2010.

    i'm liking what i'm seeing from cotto as well. he's doing all the right things. i said before the fight was signed that i believe cotto will be floyds toughest fight since castillo. after giving it more thought...i'm convinced it will be the toughest fight of his career. thing about it...i don't believe we've seen the best of floyd. a challenge like this may bring out the very best in him. when that happens...it's like brother nazim said..."he's going to sprout wings and a tail and start spittin fire balls." cotto's going to have to side step and step on his tail. :lol: let's see what happens.

    and that's what floyd is hoping for. then picks up the scraps just like what he did against mosley and cotto now.

    i do. bradley is a very underrated fighter who does several things very well. look for him to systematically take things away from pac and break him down. he may stop him. if it goes to decision...there's a strong chance bradley gets robbed and pac catches even more heat than he did for the jmm robbery.

    i never believed pac was on any drugs. with or without p.e.d's...i think floyd destroys pac. i think pac's reign has been all smoke and mirrors.

    The only difference is Cotto will be popping that jab and throwing lots of punches and he will have the energy to maintain it, unlike the shot has Mosley who punched himself out afetr he rocked Floyd and clearly showed that he can't pull the trigger anymore.
