    The difference is Pac has faced technical boxers but he hasn't faced the best technical boxer who's also just as good of an athlete as he is and just as fast as he is. So all that **** he was able to get away with against guys who were there to be hit or had slow hands he won't be able to get away with against PBF, that's another reason why he's ****ed in this matchup.:deal

    I don't think Floyd is gonna have much of a speed advantage nor better footwork. The reach is a problem for Manny but his style will allow him to get to Floyd on the inside. Floyd is good with anticipating his fighters next move....like a chess match...Manny is extremely hard to predict and that will be a problem for Floyd. The way Manny darts in and out, throws extremely explosive combos from all angles will see Floyd in more trouble than any of us are use to seeing. PAC will get to Floyds body and he has GREAT body work as seen in his last fight. Floyd will be more mobile of course but his body will be there. I highly doubt Floyd's fight with Zab will be more challenging but I could be wrong. I just don't see it. Cutting off the ring will be PAC's undoing if he's not successful..but I think he'll be able to come to the ring with the right game plan and work on cutting off the ring knowing that Floyd will be on the move.

    Floyd isn't unbeatable....he's just highly skilled and one that never steps away from his style. He's cool, calm and composed, but Manny has got the natrual abilities, gifts and talent to match Floyd. Manny is a better offensive fighter where Floyd is better defensivley. Floyd can't block everything although he's extremely elusive. This fight has to be made if Floyd beats Shane which I feel he will. But the boxing sites are gonna be shut down when and if this fight happens. This is gonna be one of the biggest fight in history and for good reason.

    And which offensive fighter has Floyd faced with the same speed, power and intensity that Pac have? None.

    Those fighters weren't there to get hit before Pac fought them. All of a sudden they were shot, drained, payed, etc.. all those excuses.

    Pac has been caught with straight rights and left hooks from orthodox fighters before and has been hurt more as well and beaten.:deal

    I see this as reminiscent of the Hatton fight Manny charges in gets hit with a bunch of clean rights and left hooks. Floyd can also win on the inside and up close. I dont give Manny too much of a chance in this fight. Floyd has the speed he smarts and the skills

    Mayweather landed 290 punches on a lightweight (plus 12 pounds of added fat) JMM. Not a mark on JMM's face. Yeah, Floyd can hurt Pac. :nut

    He can go post on BScene, he'll fit in perfectly over there.

    Besides, no matter how ******ed, you still honor your bet, you don't act like a ***** after you make the bet and realize you are going to lose.

    Which defensive fighter with fast hands good and good footwork has Pac fought? None As a matter of fact what slick fighter has Pac ever fought his whole career? Non
    Those fighters that Pac fought had poor defense, poor footwork, had slow hands or all of the 3.:deal
