    I mean I always felt it would play a huge role, but I very seldom hear people mention it when talking about the two.

    Mayweather does not think so otherwise he would have dropped his OSDT facade, laughed and took his money like stealing a candy from a child.

    No...because he needs OSDT to fight Pacquiao.

    if he is still able to fight on the backfoot then yes, if he fights like he did ortiz then its more suitable for pac, it would increase his chances. While I think if floyd was able to get on his bike and potshot he wins a wide decision.

    That will be one of many advantages Floyd will have

    Reach doesn't mean much unless you either have footspeed or power. It looks like Floyd has the latter to some degree, even at this weight (Ortiz was pretty gunshy after a few right hands and combos) so yes, I think it will be a key factor if they ever fight.

    Of course it would PBF is the master at creating distance he knows how to use his reach.

    Typical *******s **** instead of answering the question you got with this pre-programmed response like a god damn robot that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Answer the question Pacbot.

    Floyd will have less of a reach advantage than Margarito or De La Hoya,and probably even Clottey.

    PBF has longer reach than Clottey and Margo doesn't fight tall and doesn't use his reach so it's a non factor. The only who fought tall and had the ability to use their reach was Oscar and he was done when he fought Pac.:deal

    No. Floyds timing & boxing ability will cause the problems.

    Maybe if Pacquiao was a tomato can like Ortiz, that just stood there getting hit in the face, not doing anything, or being too damn slow to land anything back.

    TYPICAL ******* RESPONSE

    *******S

    1. IGNORE FACTS

    2. DOWNGRADE VALID INFO

    3. PAY 0 ATTENTION TO ANY ARGUMENT THAT IS NEGATIVE TO THEIR OWN.

    4. DO NOT ADDRESS FACTS SHOWN TO THEM, IN REBUTTAL TO THEIR ORIGINAL RESPONSE

    5. INSULT THE POSTER, RATHER THAN FOCUS ON THE ARGUMENT AT HAND; BY DOING THIS THEY LOSE THE ARGUMENT EASY AS THEY DONT EVEN ADDRESS THE ARGUMENT THEIR OPPOSITION IS PUTTING UP.

    6. COME UP WITH OFF THE WALL $HIT WITH NOTHING TO BACK IT, JUST TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE THEY SAID SOMETHING VALID; MANY TIMES THIS OFF THE WALL $HIT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BOXING.

    YOUR GUILTY OF

    NUMBER 1
    NUMBER 2
    NUMBER 3
    NUMBER 4
    NUMBER 6

    Yes he would have problems with Floyds reach..Manny, though he can clear ground very fast, will not be able to stay "ahead of Floyd" in the footwork dept...Floyd has the better technical footwork, thus he can control the tempo of the fight...Manny and also "runs in" at times, with sloppy footwork and sloppy combinations...Floyd would be able to drop that right foot back and pop that jab out OR LEAD WITH THAT RIGHT HAND WHILE BOTH OF PACS ARMS ARE EXTENDED AS HE RUNS IN...

    The reach advantage would be huge AND FLOYD KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT TALL...

    Pac would be tagged more than Ortiz..His head movement, though is pretty good, is showcased...Pac literally goes in the same side to side motion..I'm sure Roger has already picked up on this...

    Manny has very short reach and that would be the beggining of the end..AS FLOYD GOT MORE ACCURATE PAC WOULD BECOME LESS CONFIDENT...HE'D COME WITH MORE HEART AS HE GOT TAGGED MORE I THINK (PAC THAT IS), BUT HE WOULD BE LESS SOUND TECHNICALLY AND A LITTLE MORE DESPARATE...

    Floyd would fight Pac more on his back foot (like he did with Carlos) than on his front foot (like what he did with JMM, Shane, and Victor).

    LOL..IRRELEVANT..THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGHT TALL..

    FLOYD WAS TAUGHT HOW TO FIGHT TALL FROM THE TIME HE WAS A KID..

    HE KNOWS HOW TO BE THE TALLER FIGHTER..

    None of the fighters really fought "tall" in your rebuttal..Oscar came in with a slight hunch...

    FLOYD WILL USE HIS ARM LENGTH TO HIS ADVANTAGE..SOMETHING NOBODY IN YOUR REBUTTAL DID OR ATTEMPTED TO DO.
