    floyd wont roll his shoulder AS MUCH AS HE WILL BE FIGHTING A SOUTHPAW..ALSO floyd will use his footwork to keep pac at bay and not give him the angles he needs TO GET IN AND GET OUT MAN..

    Again...u wanna talk technical boxing feel free but i will school u...than again i dont know u so i dont know if u got any gym experience so u i could be wrong...but yea pac wont be able to do that just like shane wasnt able to land wide azz bombs on floyd like he did tony

    1) Pac hasn't fought like that for two fights now at WW. Not to say that he can't, but he hasn't. He didn't move a lot against Cotto and he didn't move a lot against Clottey. He stayed in front and traded.

    2) Mosley hit Floyd with a right cross after a weak jab to the stomach. Two punches isn't exactly putting them together. The later punch that buckled Floyd's knees was a counter. Mosley got cracked when he tried too many punches together.

    3) Floyd can pivot. There's no law against him pivoting and continuing to roll punches. Or just plain hopping back and getting out of range. There's a reason that other guys punch output drops when they fight Floyd, and it's because he's fantastic with distance. He knows how to keep the other guy at a range that is uncomfortable for them.

    Pac isn't Shane and Floyd isn't Cotto so styles make this fight...Thats why we post on here old schooled one...Its just my opinion. Its like look how good Shane did against Luis Collazo, almost same cagy style as Floyd. Shane dominated him. Styles make fights. I just think Floyd will have trouble preparing for a fighter like Pacq. Theres no one out there like him.

    your ****ing out of your rabbit ass mind !! Zab has just as many KO at welter wight as pac , and pac only has one KO at 147 and that was a stoppage not a KO. Pac just as fast as Zab ?! I don't think so .. Zab issue is, speed is all he has and masses of amounts of it at that. He just does not have the conditioning to sustain it nor, the ring intelligence to use it correctly.. other than than that zab may be the fastest welt at present time, just too bad he doesn't know how to use it.

    I think Pacquiao's reach dis-advantage is going to force him to dive in towards Mayweather and that not going to be a pretty sight. He will have to learn to stay flat footed when swinging at Mayweather and not those one legged jumping punches cause Mayweather is going to counter the **** out of his ass.

    someone tell manny to work on his footwork if he wants to trouble floyd cuz the mutha fu34a is not winning a "chess match" with floyd..unless he controls the footwork he gets outboxed...

    Manny gotta "fight" to win cuz he cant win a "boxing match" n i think even the pac fans know that much

    Telling Pacquiao to learn how to fight flat footed for a fight with Floyd is like telling Elvis Presley not to sing at a concert.

    You're out of your god damn mind, if anything, it's angles that will win the fight for Pacquiao, staying in front of Floyd with no footwork is whats going to end up a mismatch.

    There is a reason this fight hasn't happened. Floyd. He is either scarred shitless or is trying to make this one Big Ass built up fight....

    How do u get "im scared" from him demanding the test??? If u floyd mayweather and u truly believe in your mind ur opponent is on something than why not ask for em..

    Never saw Pacq in a chess match with anyone. Dont think Roach will make it one.
