    Every interview I see from Floyd's camp keep talking about body shots, even the sparring partners are saying that they believe Floyd can stop Pacquiao with a body shot, so do you think Floyd's gameplan is to go for Pacquiao's body? And if so, how effective do you think that gameplan will be?

    Pac will take that away by countering him upstairs with a quick left or a right hook Mayweather will notice this and be more reluctant to throw to the body because of the chance of getting caught by the left

    His plan is to hit him anywhere and everywhere at any opportunity whilst taking as little punishment in return as possible.

    Floyd hasn't made a plan yet - that is why he is such a great boxer he adapts.

    He will come out cautious pumping the jab and feeling Pac out before choosing his plan of attack.

    Of course he will invest in the body,as it will slow Mannys movement down and empty his gas tank. Floyd is a great body puncher and always works the body.

    Floyds gameplan is to hit Pacquiao in the hips and slow that pinoy down.

    My guess is he will use his legs, pot shot and generally outbox Pac for a wide UD. Pac may have his moments, but I see this being all Mayweather.

    The one thing about body punching is the judges "no all " tend to ignore body work. It's hard to win rounds off body work for some reason. Floyd's game plan, throw 1 or 2 pot shots, tie up or get out of the way. Use a lot of movement and counter when Pacquiao lunges in trying to make something happen.

    Floyd is a great body puncher as he mixes his attacks up so well. People wonder why his opponents slow down later in fights, it is due to missed punches and his body attack

    Pac is quite weak at defending to the body so it would be wise for Floyd to do.
