    I saw that right hook feint that he used ever so successfully against JMM again.
    And we are talking about a person (JMM) who had 36 rounds against Pac already, and still reacted to it.

    I'm pretty sure FMJ's reflexes would go bananas over Pac's feints and it will make Pac's left straight connect even more.

    The real question is how is FMJ gonna withstand those punches?
    If he can, then expect Floyd to adjust by round 6 or so and just dominate Pac.
    If he can't, Pac will shut FMJ's offense down by forcing Mayweather to hide behind a high guard more frequently than usual and Pac will win on points.

    Floyd was reacting to Maidana's feints. Since his defense is so reflexive, he moves the SECOND you move...but against a feinter? It's a death trap!!! And Pacquiao feints like crazy! It's going to really screw up Floyd's timing while giving Pac opportunity to land.

    Pac trying to outthink Floyd hahahahahahaha, no way in hell he should be doing that

    Floyd is literally 5 steps ahead of Pac.

    He should come out guns blazing and try to knock him out.

    If he can't get Floyd's respect in the first 4-5 rounds, he's finished.

    He might be. Neither guy has faced anybody like the other before and they both have the speed and skills to impose their will. And while I'm picking May by a slight margin...it can't be argued that Pac has looked better in his past couple fights and he's fought guys closer to Mayweathers style than vice versa.

    What I want to know is where do they get the dudes from that are predicting a blowout by floyd?? These guys must not have seen the Guerrero fight. Because he didn't even blow him out. This fight is going to be a back and forth battle and very close. And IF it's a blowout, it's because Floyds reflexes and legs really have gone to sh;t and he can't react to Pacs speed....and it will be a wide victory for Pac.

    Pac's last couple of fights...
    He couldn't cut the ring off against Mosely, rios is not a boxer, and Algeri is no Floyd in terms of skill.

    Pac is no maidana in term of relentless pressure, nor does he have the size or weight advantage, Floyd walks him down and stays in the pocket, don't kid yourself.

    Pacs trouble to cut the ring off comes against guys in full retreat. Algieri and Mosley were scared sh;tless in there. And Pac dominated those fights, not sure why you are using them as an example against him.

    Dude, that's definitely a possibility and that's how I think Floyd will try to fight him. He should walk him down with the high guard and fight him in the inside. A lot of clinching and rough house tactics.

    The trouble is, and it's strange you don't see it, since your so quick to see Maidana's advantages over Pac...is that Pac has foot speed, footwork, is accustomed to punching and attacking from angles already, throws punches from awkward angles (which isn't even a point that should be argued, is one of Floyds *****s in his armor), and he's a southpaw. With fast hand speed, mixes up his combinations great. If you don't think ANY of that will trouble floyd. But you see that a simple weight advantage and aggression were enough to trouble him against Maidana, then God bless you.

    Floyd will be taking the Bradley approach in fight #2 and try and walk Pac down. That is why he has juiced up and will be be ~158 fight night. Will it work? Well, that is why get in the ring.

    Pac's susceptible to traps, always been, I get the weird angles, the bunches of punches and the speed, but it has never been done against a technical fighter so well versed in defense and one who has been on the look out for that.
    The man literally negates a move once he senses it, I truly give pac 3 rds to do something, if he can't get off by then, or he's blown his load by then, it's over, mayweather lulls him to sleep, like all the others, trying to out box a master boxer.

    Yes, because Floyd is just going to be standing there allowing Pacquiao to rattle off combination after combination. :roll:

    It's not as if Floyd will be moving around so as to not let Manny get his feet set to throw or anything.

    The way you have oversimplified the entire sport of boxing is just ridiculous, as if all Manny has to do is throw 5 punch combinations and he's bound to land and win - if it were that simple Manny would never have lost.

    Floyd is going to be walking Manny down applying pressure, laying on the ropes setting traps for counter punches, maintaining distance and keeping Pacquiao at bay with jabs and straights and just dictating the tempo of the fight overall.

    There are so many ways for Floyd to switch is up, he is unbelievably versatile.

    The notion that Pacquiao will just be raining down 5 punch combos that will somehow land consistently is ludicrous.
