    Exactly why some say he is boring and hate to watch him fight. They know he possesses the skills to do more but he won't. It's not necessary for him to do more in most cases.

    People here think you have to throw big flurries to do combos... Sad sad times..

    Floyd can do what Marquez did but better. Manny throws a lot of punches and Floyd is one of the best counter punches in the game. If he counter and connects often, Manny will think twice about trying to overwhelm Floyd with punches. Which is something he can't afford to do because he can't out think or out box Floyd.

    And Floyd doesn't fight when he knows he can't win, that's why he won't fight PACMAN! :hat

    Stop your imagination, and wake up to the real world! First pull you BOI out of the cave and force him to sign the contract by all means, then you can come back to where you left off with your imagination. :hat

    Floyd won't need a pen neither because he isn't signing the contract.

    The one thing that Marquez and Morales lacked is better footspeed than Pacquiao, which is why they had to hit Pacquiao with the combination.

    Mayweather is capable of throwing combinations, but he really wont have to vs Pacquiao.
    What Mayweather does better than Marquez and certainly Morales, is use his feet to get out.
    Mayweather has fast legs.
    He'll counter Pacquiao repeatedly with straight rights, and quickly move out of Pacquiao's range.

    I cant imagine Pacquiao not being an easy fight for Mayweather.

    i think the early rounds will be tough because Pac is still a beast and he does hold attributes Floyd hhasn't seen....but i think if Floyd weathers that early storm......he out classes Pac like no one has ever seen.

    BUT i still feel its the early rounds which Floyd is most vulnerable and Pac has that kind of power to end a fight i dont care who you are...so i even think Pac may hurt Floyd between rounds 1-4....certainly as Mosley showed us he is touchable especially early when he is still feeling the fighter out and trying to see what the fighter is trying to do....not to mention get used to that fighters speed and figure out their rhthym as well as adjust his timing.....Pac is an exceptional fighter but i think if he lets Floyd settle in and not keep him off balance.....he is going to get outclassed.

    Morales and Marquez never bothered to mention using bodyshots on emmanuel and smothering him. They both had success with those tactics.

    I expect an early knockdown but its Pacquiao who will "kiss canvas" as the ******* likes to describe it.

    Will Pacquiao continue to be aggressive if he runs into a Mayweather shot?
    Either way its not going to make much difference.
    Aggressiveness for Pacquiao just means he will get stopped.
    Less aggressiveness means he will just get embarassed all the way through.

    Absolutely not!

    Pacquiao is not an old fighter on the decline like Mosley is......

    Pacquiao would be quicker and much more alert to take advantage of the mistakes a fighter would make when he's advancing.......
    .......hell, even Marquez has stated Margarito should keep distance and wait Pacquiao out, throwing punches when its Pacquiao advancing.

    Where Mosley could not take advantage of Mayweather advancing, Pacquiao would.

    The blueprint has been laid out and set already. Erik Morales stated he followed the blueprint that Marquez laid out, which is move to the left and counter Pacquiao's left with a straight right.
    ......Mayweather has all the tools and then some to implement that blueprint and make it look like Picasso painted it.:deal

    Morales and Marquez also had success coming forward to smother emmanuel in the pocket. They even made him trying fighting backwards. emmanuel can't fight in the pocket or going backwards for ****.

    Floyd is a great inside fighter, has greater arm length to emmanuel, has the best right hand in the sport, and emmanuel can't stop right hands for ****. Every southpaw that fought Floyd got they AZZ whooped by a coming forward Mayweather. Floyd has things covering his AZZ if he wants to be aggressive.
