    ok, Judah was doing to Floyd whatever the hell he wanted for the first 4 rounds. It's when fighters like Judah and Oscar start slowing down the *****s come up with Floyd "adjusts" to his opponents when simply he just has better stamina than them. Manny is gonna force Floyd to fight. Floyd won't be taking any chances and like when Mosley hurt him Floyd didn't trust his own defense anymore and started bringing out the offense. Same thing is going to happen when he fights Manny and Floyd knows he's gonna have to trade with Manny.

    Why is there a question mark at the end of the thread title? Truly odd.

    Maybe because his opponents haven't been skilled enough to make him adjust his footwork. He used alot of lateral movement against Hatton, but didn't need it against JMM or Mosley.

    It's no different then Manny throwing caution to the wind and start shooting out those 5 punch combos without fear of retaliation. Because he knows his opponents aren't fast enough to catch him.

    What their opponents brings to the ring affects what strategy they will employ. Right or Wrong?

    Floyd should tko Pac...too much with the counter punching...alot more skill and movement...

    floyd tko manny 11...too much with the counters..plus floyd has the footwork to turn with pac thus pac wont have the advantage angles like he did with margarito and many other opponents....

    And your basically saying that if they didn't get tired they would easily won.:think Your also saying that if they hadn't got tired he would never had adjusted to that and started pushing more offensely. Not sure what you are getting at. We must have been watching a different fight when he fought Mosley because I saw him not land again after the 2nd round. That doesn't sound like he didn't trust his own defense anymore.

    There are number of ways Floyd can slow Manny's output...accurate countering, clenching, making him miss, etc. All are things Floyd can employ interchangeably and effectively to disrupt Manny's timing and keep him off balance.

    But, he will, most likely, have to take some shots, at some point, in the fight. His goal, I assume, would be to make sure, those are not clean shots. I seriously doubt we will see his head bobble during a 6 punch combo, the way a slow plodding Margo's did, though.

    my man? hope you dont mean Mayweather haha.

    try JMM

    I know what you are saying about Pac improving a bit, however not as much as peope think and of course the fight would have to be at a lower weight, sill think 2008 JMM gives him as much trouble today.
