Is it just me, or did Pac look like he lost a step on purpose to entice Floyd?

    it takes two make a good fight. if one fighter would not fight, it is not the sole responsibilty of the other fighter. pac can only make this fight entertaining on his side. remember that not every fighter is concerned with the fans. some would just stink it out just to win or to survive. put floyd in there with clottey and it would make pac-clottey or pac-mosley seemed like a fireworks display.

    but isnt pacman the goat, who throws 1000-1200 punches in all different angles? or is that only against slow opponents who are stationary, but we should give shane credit by using some head movement and footwork to try to dodge pacmans punches, he just didnt know how to counter.

    Floyd vs Clottey would be a pretty good fight actually lol.


    My point is, Pac doesnt really look good against opponents who actually try to move out the way of hes punches, but against Margarito hes the goat.

    who says he can put a 1000 punch output in every fight? people are just used to pac stopping and knocking opponents out that if he only had 500 punch output and decisions his opponent, who is not willing to engage, all of a sudden, it's pac's fault for not being entertaning enough?

    actually, this is also one of floyd's advantage that he can exploit against pac. he knows that pac cares to entertain fans. floyd doesn't care and would just let everyone "boo" them and play his waiting game. let pac get frustrated and charge on and will just simply pick off an angry pac who wants to give a good fight.

    There might be something off with you if you really believe this. If Pac really wanted the fight he wouldn't be be busy booking himself up the rest of the year.

    i find it really odd that two of Pacs bore fest were against blacks. i do now have apprehensions on wishing for the Pac/Floyd fight getting done. might be the biggest blow to the sport if it end up like the two.

    I just keep seeing pacfans saying pacman is declining or loosing a step, he hasnt, weve just been used to watching pacman fight stationary opponents who were overhyped and cherry picked by arum, so he dominates them. so when hes opponent can move or try to move out of hes punches suddenly hes not at hes peak anymore? if there was something about the fight yesterday that i saw, pac will have more trouble fighting floyd than i thought, he doesnt know how to cut off the ring.

    It's highly possible that PAC vs Floyd is a boring fight. It will only become interesting if PAC catches Floyd with something big and finish him off.

    The fight Saturday vs Mosley made one less likely with Mayweather.
    Manny came out looking more powerful than previously thought. This time it was not just volume. He had Shane basically done from the knockdown.

    Floyd has not and will not fight a power fighter with speed that can't be hurt. pac is the most stylistically deadly everything for Floyd.

    Manny has too many dimensions and done more at WW compared to Floyd and his much softer opposition. Floyd never faced this kind of power or speed let alone both together from the southpaw stance. Floyd will not fight Manny Pacquiao after last night.

    No, it looked to me like Pacquiao was very disheartened by the way the fight went. Since I do not find his acting ability in the movies very impressive, I'm going to assume that he actually was disappointed and it would've gone differently if he could've made it go differently. Pac is no dummy but I find it hard to imagine he has the subtle diabolical guile for this.

    Edit: Of course, he is a politician now...:think

    Shane looked like Jimmy Young in there (ie. if you didn't hit him much, he won't hit you much)

    No . . . Pac didn't lose step on purpose. It's just that Mosley didn't go in there and take chances reason why the fight was not that impressive.

    Mosley did what Barrera did in his rematch with Pac.

    Void picks Pac to beat him, that's why Void refuses to fight Pac for any amount of money. Void loves to beat up women................
