    And vice versa if you are going for Pac, what worries you the most about Floyd going into the fight. I'm rooting for Pac and I'm worried about that jab to the midsection and that perfect right hand that Floyd throws.

    Volume punching. He might be able to steal rounds based on sheer output and aggressiveness.

    Just the speed, and Floyds aging. If the Floyd that fought Canelo shows up and still moves that well and still has (near) cat like reflexes, then he's good.

    If not, he's going to have a long night, but will adjust and win.

    No part of me thinks he's going to lose, it's just a matter of how hard he'll have to work to win,

    People thinking this 2008-2009 Pac is going to show up are insane. They are both very cerebral and calculated in their advance ages, neither one is the athletic dynamo that they once were. And in a game of chess? You gotta roll with the Grandmaster baby. :smoke

    People with lesser skills/chins have figured him out and saw 12 rounds with no problem. Dude is 36, he's not winning.

    What worries me from the perspective of either guy is that the man across the ring will be an ATG and the best they've ever fought.

    I really want Pac to win, but Floyd worries me a lot. His boxing intelligence is what worries me the most and the way he just adapts to the fight. Also like you said, his right hand is sweet.

    Pac walking into a big right hand, Floyd's underrated power, Floyds punch then clinch tactics, Floyds elbow. Quite a few things.

    I'm going for Pac but I really think Floyd will do excessive holding to slow him down and help him gauge Pac's rhythm. I hope Mayweather tries to walk him down !!!

    If I was pulling for Floyd, I'd be most worried that Vegas had arranged a close controversial decision in Pacquiao's favor to set up a mega $$ rematch.

    Floyd ortizing Pac while he stupidly adjusts his shorts or taps his gloves.

    thing im most worried about is Floyd losing a step, if he still had the speed and decent power from Ortiz, guerrero and canelo then it should be a win

    A lucky punch really. If Pac somehow lands a punch like Mosley did, then who knows. If it's a boxing match, Floyd will win.
