    just couldn't help but comment about your patronising style.. You really do think you are so much more intelligent you childish twat..

    Whilst we are on the subject of being childish.. your use of you word "worst" is just how my 3 year old mixes up his word pronunciations.. Worse is much easier to say..

    Believe it or not, Mosley hit Floyd more than he hit Pac.

    the mosley that fought pac was even more washed up and didn't want to be in the ring after he felt the power..

    what I should have said was that i think floyd will hit pac easily and pac will have problems landing on him.

    Pacquiao isn't a b-class Victor Ortiz , first of all. That should be enough to convince you.

    And styles make fights. Floyd doesn't give a lot of movement against southpaws and he tends to be aggressive. That should play into Pacquiao's hands a little bit. The guys who tend to give Pacquiao the most trouble use a lot of lateral movement i.e. Marquez. Floyd is not that kind of fighter .

    Victor is a very sloppy aggressive inexperienced fighter who walks into punches. See the peterson fight. Pacuqiao is not going to just walk into Floyd and get teed off on with right hands. He'll come in behind feints , get Floyd to commit and then come in with a combiantion. He'll also return fire anytime Floyd opens up. It's an interesting fight where I can see both guys having there moments in. I think whoever gets their punches off first will win in the exchanges. Floyd will have his moments on the outside pecking with right hands, and Pacquiao will have moments when he gets aggressive and flurries. There's a very good chance he hurts Floyd too or puts him down if he lands a clean shot. I think he'll focus heavily on the body as he did with Clottey.

    kinda true but remember Floyd's arms are much longer than Manny's he can throw combos from safe ranges

    Both have not really fought each other styles.

    I think its a 50/50 fight.

    Manny has never seen a guy with as great of a defense as Floyd but at the same time Manny throws from different angels and you dont see him setting up before he throws like you do with a lot of Floyds past opponents.

    Both will be facing something new.

    The fight comes down to if Floyds defense good enough to evade punches coming from all different angels.

    You based that on beating Ortiz, a Maidana left-over, who barely passed by overprotected and overhyped Berto?


    Margarito is more than twice better than Ortiz will ever be because of one thing - chin!!!!

    The more important point is that if he really did want to clean up the sport, he'd remain active and not take long vacations. That way he'd a) show the world that he himself is clean 24/7/365 rather than clean for a couple months, and b) challenge more fighter to prove themselves clean. The fact that he takes long breaks creates a suspicion that he does so just to cycle out whatever he's on for most of the year.

    Thanks Guys!. I think i'm starting to get some confidence back.

    I think i bought into the hype. Ortiz is good, but he did get destroyed by maidana, a fighter that couldnt beat a washed up morales.

    Plus when ortiz did attack, he managed to land.

    I think Manny will be alot quicker, and more calculated in his approach, and could eventually KO the Money Man.

    dude, yes floyd ko'd ortiz but anybody can ko ortiz if ortiz was hands down.
    if he ko'd ortiz while really engaging in a fight that is a different story.

    everybody can ko anybody with a cheap shot. FACT!

    Yea Manny could win. His feints would be the key. Since Manny's jab isn't good, feints would keep Floyd guessing. Also Manny would have to use his right hand more. In the Mosley fight he just used it to set up for his left hand. Manny also needs to get in and out. Get off and get the **** out. He has the foot speed and hand speed to do this. But in reality, Manny is not on Floyd's level(based on skill). This fight is pretty easy for Floyd to be honest. Its a styles thing. Yes Manny is an atg, FOTD, and has a better legacy than Floyd. He isn't a better fighter though. You have to be able to out think Floyd, Manny won't do that.
