    Floyd seems to think so.

    But Hopkins is also vulnerable to a smart volume puncher like Pac. Joe Calzaghe showed the world how Hopkins can be beaten even with his feather fists.

    Isn't it the other way around?

    Pac definitely poses stylistic problems to Floyd as Floyd does to Pac.

    Tailor made would be Cotto or Hatton. Left hand dominant fighters who are more offensive than defensive.

    The best punch against Pacquiao is a counter straight right and Floyd's got (arguably) the best in the business.

    However, Pacquiao throws a lot of leather over 12 round while bouncing everywhere with speed and power. Hard to beat a guy like that by decision over 12 round, as seen against Marquez. How long would it take for Mayweather to adapt to Pacquiao ? It could be too late by that time.

    I give Floyd 60 % chance of winning, Pacquiao 40 %.

    lmfao..hell no..PAC COMMITS HIMSELF TO MUCH..

    PLAYS RIGHT INTO WHAT FLOYD DOES..

    PAC IS TAILOR MADE FOR FLOYD..

    ALL THAT "RUNNING IN" AND "SLOPPY COMBOS"....

    NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT FLOYD KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT TALL (SOMETHING PAC'S OPPONENTS NEVER DID, OR DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DO) AND HAS THE LONGER REACH..

    Floyd by knockout in 9..Floyd controls Manny with the reach; catches Manny "running in" with a right hand-most likely he'll "pull distance" and throw the right hand that sleeps Pac.

    Pac is EXCELLENT AND GREAT AT TAKING ANGLES...ONE THING THAT IS NEVER MENTIONED IS "HOW GOOD FLOYD IS AT TAKING THOSE ANGELS RIGHT BACK BY DROPPING THAT RIGHT FOOT 45-90 DEGREES...

    FLOYD KO 9

    I've seen this pole on many other forums..the majority always say "or pick" Pac is tailor made.

    He is too!

    This idea, it's similar to Floyd fans saying Pacman is tailor made for Floyd. Seriously. You can't take ******ed comments like that seriously.
