    Well the Williams 2 and Dzinziruk fights he got out well, he got caught early in Williams 1 and I thought it took him a few rounds to impose himself on the fight. Can't remember the Pavlik fight too well, I remember Pavlik won a few mid rounds in that one though until he was cut and the tide turned again.

    Thing is if it takes him a few rounds to figure Barker and Macklin it'll be harder for him to figure Floyd out imo

    yeah I knew he did but I thought he lost the early rounds, been a while since I last watched that fight though so could be wrong their. I'll have to find my scoring and see how I scored it.

    Floyd is way too flat footed to stand in front of a guy who will weigh 170 on fight night. He might get stopped.

    I think Khan and Pacman now have a chance of beating Mayweather. For me, his movement is not as good anymore. I am talking about that sharp step backwards like a Olympic fencer, the spin off to the side. Little things like that which he did in the Shane Mosley fight, enabled him to fight in the centre of the ring on the front foot offensively but he was very hard to hit. He just kind of let Cotto come in after afew rounds, and Cotto was not cutting off the ring anywhere near as fast as Ricky Hatton........

    Its all about movement speed, if you want to give Mayweather a tough fight. Cotto did a good job of cutting the ring off, and getting Mayweather on the ropes. I think Pacman would fight Mayweather in and out, sharp shooting....pretty much the same way he fought Cotto.

    "I have always thought Pacman had slightly the faster hand speed in combination punching, with single shots Mayweather is the more correct puncher, but movement wise..? Pacman has more speed, and agility........and this will be a factor"

    Amir Khan is a different case, his dimensions size/reach/handspeed.....i think will be enough to drag Mayweather into a rough fight.

    Its was a good performance from Mayweather, but i think the landscape once against at welterweight has changed.

    "If Pacman, turned by into the hulk against Bradley..........i don't think Mayweather will be so vocal about fighting Pacman"
