How would Floyd deal with Pac's foot speed, awkward punch angles, and speed?

    When did he actually need to move? He stood in the center of the ring and countered the hell out of Mosley. And whenever he got put on the ropes, all I saw was speedy, snappy left hooks and quick pivoting and lateral movement to get off the ropes. His movement looked fine to me.

    Honestly, I don't know what Floyd can do at this stage of his career to satisfy some folks. If he stands and trades punches, he's judged to have lost a "step." If he mounts his bicycle to stick in move, folks insinuate he's merely running and unwilling to "get it on."

    Seriously, I am NO Floyd fan. In fact, I think he's a ***** as a human being. However, the guy cannot seem to catch a break on here sometimes. If he doesn't pitch a shut it, it seems, the critics come out in force with commentary on all the *****s in his armor.

    Floyd is gonna whip pac and I hope everyone who hates floyd is ready to truly crown him the best of the era hands down. I see Floyd vs pac playing out in a simular fashion as all of floyd's fights. The first 3-4 rounds will be close and anxious, then floyd will figure pac out and make it a normal nothing special fight.

    From what I saw in the clottey fight to what I saw in the marquez fights, I feel the weakness is still there and floyd can definately be the one to bring it full circle. When pacman was throwing punches, clottey sat in the shell and would only return one punch at a time in various spots far and in between. When clottey did throw while pac was attacking, he would snap pac's head back and go right back into the shell. Clottey wouldn't throw more than one punch until pac stopped swinging and took a break with his arms up. When pac took these little breaks, clottey couldn't do anything because pac was being defensive and saw everything coming. Clottey should have thrown more than one punch everytime he felt himself land on Pac. Those 4-7 punches per round could have turned into 12-21 punches landed per round. Obviously clottey didn't have the sack or gameplan to do this. It's like he never watched any of the marquez fights. If clottey would have made pac pay then pac wouldn't have been attacking like a madman breaking his punch output record. He would have slowed down and faught at a pace closer to his USUAL 70 punches per round instead of 100+, and most likely wouldn't have thrown that many if he were countered effectively.

    When he fights mayweather that counter right hand landing is coming faster and harder than what was thrown by clottey followed by a left hook (before pac refocuses) and then another straight right. Pac is gonna slow down and start fighting a usual mayweather fight after mayweather makes him pay consistantly. Freddy roach will be pulling his hair out and yelling at pac what to do only to see pac go out there and repeat the process for 8 or 9 rounds straight. Not to mention he has never faced anyone near his speed and he is gonna be very cautous. This is why he didn't come at marquez like a mad man the entire fight, because marquez threw combinations when he landed which made pac box instead of fighting super aggressively as he does. Mayweather can do this far better than marquez and will make manny reluctant. It will end up being a typical, dominate PBF UD. I think he will even be putting a strong emphasis on knocking manny out once he slows manny down.

    once again I'm only hearing about Roach wanting this fight with mayweather,but i've yet to hear Pac say he wants to fight him
