    It took Floyd Mayweather nearly six rounds to figure Zab Judahs style out, if it takes him six rounds with Manny Pacquiao the damage would have already been done...

    agreed, also Mayweather's chin hasn't been tested yet. He has been rocked before by some good shots, so how will it hold up to a fighter who is constantly on you?

    if we want to play the bring up guys like them from the past game the zab fight is much older than pac v marquez

    Diff being mayweather actually had the skill set to convincingly win, and zab is a much better physical specimen than marquez

    No question......Floyd's style is a problem for Manny. Which makes for a very compelling fight. So lets hope this happens.

    If JLC was able to track Floyd down...if DLH was able to track Floyd down...best believe Manny will have success in tracking him down during a 12 round fight. The question is.......how often and how well can Manny take advantage of those spots where he does get Floyd cornered and forces him in to a toe to toe. You act as if Manny can't learn how to cut of a ring? That's not a hard thing to learn especially given the fact that Manny has been learning and improving ever since starting with Roach. Cutting off the ring won't be a problem...the problem is gonna be Floyd himself b/c Floyd is a great boxer. But Manny is also great...he's an incredible fighter with a lot of determination. I doubt Floyd would be able to make Floyd look like a amateur. Win, loose or Draw Floyd is gonna have his most difficult fight when and if he faces Manny.

    I think that's the beauty of this potential fight. You're right....Floyd's style is wrong for manny on paper....and Manny's style is all wrong for Floyd on paper. Which is why the masses are pretty split about who will win or who will loose. The odds makers had it virtually even at one point when this fight was on the horizon......BUT....the odds makers did make Manny the favorite before the collapse in negotiations.

    Could you imagine what "clowns":roll: would be like if Manny were a BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN Figther?:think There would be NO disscussion on who the best fighter in boxing would be......and rightfully so.

    Saying Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao is nothing more than a assumption,like saying Manny is afraid of Floyd for not accepting Mayweathers demand of random testing and walking away from the fight.
    Mosley had no problem accepting Mayweathers demand of random testing.A man that has already been caught in the past.

    Mosley also had no problems facing manny WITHOUT any additional blood testing demands. Actually......NO ONE ELSE BUT FLOYD is asking Manny to take those kinds of tests.

    Pacquiao is a southpaw, which means Floyd's shoulder roll defence would be useless against him. It cant protect him from the left hook from the southpaw stance as seen in his fights with Corley and Judah. I think Pacquaio has a chance, but the longer the fight lasts the more I can see it turning in Mayweathers favour.

    No he won't PBF will make Pac fight his fight. That's the key to beating Pac. Dance stay away and make him follow you around and he doesn't have a clue. Pac dosn't have a jab nor can he cut off the ring, all he wants to do is go to war and gets frustrated when it doesn't happen. What part of that don't you *******s understand?:patsch He's not going to be able to get to the best boxer in the world at fighting off his back foot who happens to be a master counter puncher who has longer arms than he does and is has just as fast hands who's a master at defense and the smartest boxer in the world as well.:deal It's quite easy to see who holds the stylistic advantages in this fight but you *******s are in denial. PBF is the more versatile fighter and Pac's style doesn't match up well against PBF's strengths. He has gotten by because he's faced a bunch of guys who are there to be hit, have slow hands or feet they all have the same style. This will be the first time ever where he'll be matched up evenly athletically but that will be only half his problem because he will be in with a superior boxer as well. PBF will box circles around Pac and make him look like a rank amateur. I can't wait until this fight happens because a lot of *******s will be humbled that night and you'll learn why good defense beats good offense.

    JLC had a better jab than Pac could cut the ring off better than Pac, could fight on the inside and went to the body not to mention PBF was injured going into the fight a comparison can't be made. Oscar was much bigger than Pac and had a great jab as well. Something Pac doesn't have. You won't beat an elite defensive counter-puncher like PBF without a jab. You must have one in order to keep him honest and disrupt his rhythm otherwise he can think and pick you apart.
