If Floyd were more aggressive he would've stopped Mosley, Cotto and JMM. The only thing that saved Mosely is that he stopped attacking cause he was getting hit with nasty counters. That's irrelevant though because he is not more aggressive. The reason Pac gets KO'd is that he violently lunges in when he attacks. I don't see PAC changing or backing off his attack no matter how many times he gets effectively countered. In fact, PAC tries harder and harder to score when he gets countered and lunges in more and more violently. See every Marquez fight. PAC did half the work on the KO. PAC would have shook off JMM's KO punch if he wasn't moving forward with so much force. If PAC ever fights Floyd he will get countered all day. He will make more mistakes and eventually Floyd will either catch him lunging in and KO him or the fight will be stopped.
Pac hasn't been the best around since th Margarito fight. He had a great run and his legacy is cemented, but he is done. No shame in that he had a great career and I enjoyed watching him but he no longer will beat elite fighters.
Floyd doesn't have a great KO record especially at welter. Depends how much this has taken out of Manny. Otherwise there's no reason to say Floyd has a high chance of doing so. But it is possible, upto Saturday JMM hadn't floored Pac and this time he floored him and got a KO.
I honestly dont know what to say to that. Possibly one of the stupidest things Ive read here yet. Im hoping this was meant in sarcasim but sadly Im supposing no...
It's not impossible. Pac's whole gameplan revolves around his speed, power, and chin. He should have his speed and power intact, nobody knows about the chin though. Also nobody knows about his confidence. Where will his head be when he gets back in that ring? He could get slaughtered if he fights someone too good too soon.
Styles make fights. Floyd KOs aggressive reckless come forward fighters if they continue to come forward. See Hatton. The Mayweather doesn't have power at welter crap is overblown. Of his WW fights only Baldomir had no risk of KO. He just doesn't press the issue because it opens him up to attack. Against PAC he won't have to. PAC will keep coming until he is stopped.
KOs like the one PAC experienced can change a fighter but whether PAC still has chin has yet to be determined. Marquez's KD was more surprising than the KO to me. That KO would've happened to any boxer in that situation. PAC didn't walk into that punch he ran. Marquez couldn't even get close to extending on the punch and PAC fell dead forward. He basically knocked himself out.
He would, stop comparing Gatti and Pacman and listen to what I say..... Pacman will be a swollen or bloody mess by the end of 6th rounds, Mayweather totally outclasses him, and with a dent in Pacman's chin it will be even easier.
Floyd has got advantages and there are weaknesses he can exploit. But he himself also has weaknesses that could be shown if he's not careful. Floyd has a pot shot style which will allow him to win rounds as the taller guy with reach. Other have pressed the action and backed floyd up, I can see manny doing it too.
