    leonerd is more similar to Pac than Floyd. Speed - power aggressive. see him against Floyds daddy and Benitez

    Funny he only weighed 3 or 4 lbs more than when he fought Pacquiao . JMM was 141 or 142 on fight night against Manny who was like 148.So uncomfortable for him to be at 144.

    Speed ,power and aggression are natural gifts, not skills. Head movement, ring IQ, a jab, defense compare more with Floyd. So does his 5 weight divisions and beating up women.:DThis is a non stop argument .Pacquiao gets beat. Hopefully Floyd is ready to sign and Manny is ready to take some tests.

    Good point. Weigh-in and Fight night weights are the same, right, i get it. Jmm should've gone to jww or ww division too! No wonder he returned to lw division after comfortably making 144+lbs.. He would've also whooped cotto at 145lbs catchweight right?

    Floyd has more options than Pac, which is why I believe he will have Pac figured out.

    He has a good jab if he wants to use it but he is great without it and great with the lead right. His hook is good. Hes good on the inside, he protects the body great on the inside. Hes good on the outside. He can fight off the ropes, he can fight in the center. People keep talking about how the shoulder roll wont work well against Pac... he got caught against shane while using the shoulder roll and out of no where he pulled off a great winky/clottey style high guard that we havent seen him use before.

    Being relaxed will help him out as well. Ive never seen him tired and when he gets hurt he doesnt panic. People talking a Pac KO are insane, Pac dont have the power to stop him with 1 shot let alone drop him. He probably will get buzzed against Pac but he will recover and adapt to it.

    Floyd will use the high guard against Pac, he will be blocking like clottey but countering and making pac pay for his misses, that will drop Pac's output

    No one has the defense Floyd does and his style is completely different from the guys Pac has been fighting.

    The shoulder roll can still be used against southpaws in the pocket as their shoulders are squared up.

    Agreed with the TS for the most part...I agree Pac's best chance is in the first 3-4 rounds of the fight but once Floyd figures him out, he will shut Pacman out and make him pay for the mistakes
