    :good exactly, from the 4 the round on with most of his opponents he opens up more but still fights off the back foot most of the time and sometimes in the pocket, but against southpaws he's coming forward for most of the fight similar to how he fought Mosley

    He was still the aggressor that round. Once he was on the back foot he was dominated the rest of the fight.

    No certainly not vs judah. Corley and Mitchell were b level fighters, judah at the time was an A level 140lber and B level 147lber. But styles make fights and judah still gave floyd all he could handle

    Unfortunately for Cotto, Pac has timing, speed AND power. :roll:

    Which plays right into PAC"s hand. There's a reason why Floyd sr. Is terrified for his son against PAC. He knows PAC is the worst possible style Floyd can face.

    emmanuel's speed and timing > cotto's power

    emmanuel can be countered if you're good at it.

    He pressed the attacked more than he normally does against Judah

    that's true, but Manny fight off balance enough and throws enough shots for Floyd to not have to press the attack against

    Cotto won the 1st round because Pac was still studying him..

    Funny how people think Pac's opponents suddenly decide to do something stupid that made them loose the fight. Ex: Cotto decided not to box, Clottey decided not to fight etc... They refuse to acknowledge that Pac did something to make them do that.

    If Floyd fights more aggresively against Pac, he'll be in trouble because Pac's style is perfect against that.

    The Joe Louis style of pressure is perfect for whooping emmanuel!

    Floyd was aggressive vs. Corley because Floyd was trying to attain p4p #1 status at the time, just a little fact for you bandwagon Mayweather fans, he got hurt in the process.

    I think you grossly underestimate Pacquiao's abilities in the ring if you really believe all it takes is a jab to outpoint him. Win or lose, Floyd will not have an easy night with Manny. Manny will not have an easy night either.



    I know you're exaggerating though.



    Also I apologize for turning this into another Floyd vs Manny discussion. That totally was not my intention.


    Ultimately I think Manny's awkward style will throw Floyd off. The fight will go like this one:
