    Oscar was dead at 147lbs. Please don't even compare them.

    I don't believe Oscar got old over night at all against Pacquiao. He was just weight drained to a ridiculous extent. Even Roach admits to this.

    SO YOUR SAYING YOU WOULD TRY AND MAKE IT A CHESS MATCH IF YOU WERE LIL PAC? NOBODY IN THE SPORT TODAY FROM 147 DOWN IS GONNA WIN A "TECHNICAL BOXING MATCH" WITH FLOYD...WHOEVER BEATS HIM WILL NEED TO MAKE HIM FIGHT...U SAW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN JMM TRIED TO "BOX"..I REMEMBER IN 1 OF THE 24/7 WHEN BERISTEIN TELLS JMM TO THROW THE JAB AND MAKE IT HIS TECHNIQUE AGAINST FLOYDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT....WHEN HE SAID THAT I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF THAT THE WORSE THING JMM CAN DO IS TRY AND MAKE IT A CHESS MATCH....

    FLOYD IS A GENIUS IN THE RING AND IMO HE COULD PICK APART ANY OPPONENT WHO TRYS TO "BOX" WITH HIM....YOU CAN SAY HE DUCKS MUH ****A$ ALL U WANT BUT PLEASE DONT DENY HIS BOXING SKILLS:nono

    Like I said earlier Manny isn't a counter-puncher like Zab is he's more offensive Zab is cautious and picks his shots. Not to mention Pac has shorter arms than Zab and he doesn't have a Jab like Zab. Manny won't be countering PBF becasue he doesn't have the reach to do it effectively.:deal

    Yeah, good point. Anyone who saw the Judah fight knows that being a southpaw is a disadvantage against Floyd... :patsch:lol:

    Floyd has the habit of circling in the wrong direction, directly into the power hand of lefties and he also becomes weirdly over aggressive and leaves himself open for big shots. The Judah left hand woke him up and reminded him to pace himself and keep his hands up. Against every southpaw he has faced he's been caught with at least one huge shot, which is a testiment to his supposed glass jaw, but it all comes down to his bad habits. But, he does hold one significant advantage and that's having one of the greatest straight right hands ever seen. The accuracy and timing of it is excellent. He also has great gauge of distance and excels at jabbing over the top of leftiies right hands which sets up his offense.

    I see Floyd walking Pac down behind the high guard, knocking down his distancing right hand with his forearms and countering over the top with his jab. Pac has a bad habit himself of circling in the wrong direction, this puts him in the danger zone. Once Floyd's left foot gets position outside of Pac's outside foot best believe the straight hand is coming down the pipe. Pac's rhythm and upper body movement will allow him to create some opportunites though. If he is able to make Floyd miss and pay it can make things interesting, but Pac hasn't shown much ability at fighting off the back foot. His strength is when he is coming forward and gaining momentum for his power punches. Not to mention he will be the smaller man in ring which hinders his ability on the inside.

    Floyd would stop Pac eventually.
