Floyd gave the fans a "toe to toe fight" will that happen when he meets Pacquiao?

    He'll be right in front of him but with incredible defense of course and very good foot angle movement. He's not gonna run if thats what you suggest

    Mosley is one of the most durable fighters I seen. Even Super Shot Oldsley still has an iron chin, titanium body, and thick skin.

    I don't know how it was in your theater, but many people here were hating and booing the **** out of him at first. They were still bitter about the emmanuel performance.

    In the end, Mosley managed to hear the applause of the fans once more by displaying the heart of an old warrior.

    Most the theater were brothers :yep so they rooted for Shane, but were still a little ticked off. He got a big round of applause at the end of the fight though. It was heart warming :p


    and check out the promotion section :rofl

    Cotto pressed the fight and gave Floyd problems. If it would've been so easy to outbox Cotto he would've done it. Bluffing on his part.


    And all of them had solid jabs while trying to impose their size. Manny doesn't know what a jab is.

    Regardless his punching output will drop against the best counterpuncher today in Mayweather. Yes he'll land but will be confused and once that doubt hits him, Floyd wins.

    Right. Floyd is no punching bag like Clottey and Margarito or the unprepared Cotto. He'll have his gameplan set and will not be an easy target.

    No one controls range now better than Mayweather too.

    Yes and no. JMM wasn't really "lateral" but he applied lots of pivots. Not mobile but subtle.

    And got frustrated. Floyd would have a field day with Pacquiao with Pacq's lack of patience.

    Like you said Cotto would crush Floyd:patsch.

    He doesn't win. Many said he would run against Mosley but once he doesn't, his legs are gone:patsch

    Mayweather would be foolish to slug with Manny. I expect to see the usual Money May.

    I agree on this part.. :smoke

    Manny doesn't a big significant reach advantage all of the time, so why would he use jab.. :huh He uses southpaw stance so throwing your short right hand jab will make you vulnerable for the left hand counter of your opponent's longer arm.. :deal Manny's found a way with his opponent's jab by using a right hand counter.. That's better than forcing him to jab.. :yep

    Manny fights for the fans.. So he can't wait forever.. :smoke

    I personally feel Floyd will be back to his old self by not taking any chances and totally box the **** out of Pac. What Floyd did in the 12th round against Cotto is what we'll be seeing against Manny . Floyd has played the nice guy role long enough.

    "I'll **** you til you love me ******!!!!" Sorry I had to say that.

    Still the last people that gave Floyd problems either had great inside work and could impose their size a bit(Castillo,Cotto) or a great jab(DLH,Cotto again). Though Cotto fought with a gameplan with Floyd.


    An excuse. He got countered a lot and just looked awful with a complete disregard of patience in their last fight. To his credit he did get sneaky shots in with every fight of their trilogy and it takes the best tacticians(Morales and JMM) to exploit him. Says Manny is skilled.

    Floyd is only boring to *******s. Floyd does not go into fights looking to go toe to toe. Floyd goes in looking to win, period. #Never fight another man's style.

    The real question is will Pacquiao go in trying to brawl Floyd ala Duran/Leonard or will he be passive and boring like he was against Shane and Marquez 3?
