    Divac, How do you see this fight unfolding? Who do you think will win? Do you think Mayweather's brittle hands would show up here?

    Floyd is different counter puncher from marquez, nacho himself, a closet *******, stated, floyd lays for long intervals doing nothing. that works against plodding punchers who can punch mayweather on the rope for long intervals and still hit nothing. but pacquiao will make him pay for that move. Pacquiao's number was owned by marquez, a counterpuncher who lands within split seconds after pacquiao throws punches.

    Yeah, what was he talking about. Floyd-Zab went exactly how Floyd predicted it. Zab will come out fast, Floyd breaks him down and beats him over the course of the bout. If it wasnt for Zab's fouling he wouldve at least been knocked down.

    :rofl Pacquiao is gonna get hit so what? He was hit a lot in his wars with marquez and morales and even cotto landed a lot of big shots on pacman. Pac is not known for his defense but this won't be a beatdown like the gatti fight. Gatti had no answer for mayweather. Pacquaio does so don't expect mayweather to just land at will. Pacquiao will make floyd think twice cuz he got power to hurt him.

    Zab stop fighting because floyd made him stop fighting.. Once floyd got into Zab rhythm he started cutting into Zab timing and countering him, while standing directly in front of Zab.. Zab is not the type of fighter that will stop throwing if he has his way with you, he will keep throwing until your out of there.

    what fight were you watching ???:huh Zab was the busier fighter but landing when ever he wanted .. Ahhh Hell NO ..

    Zab was landing when ever he wanted on Cotto, and almost had Cotto out until the nut punch. I think you have your fights mixed up..

    Skillwise he is, Roach is probably thinking on how to win in devastating fashion. I dont think Roach trains Pac to win decisions. He trains him to KO his opponents.

    Floys team is pretty much tryin to play the mind game, cause they are very much troubled now. Sr. doesnt want Lil floyd to fight Pac, and now they want Pac to take drug tests from a different organization. Team Pac is probably laughin at them right now.

    Mayweather is in a tough position for this fight. For him to win comfortably, he will have to pot shot Manny coming in, and move a lot which will be perceived as running. In turn, even in victory, he will come out as the less entertaining fighter. He will throw 30-45 punches a round, land about 15-20 and be backpedaling and sidestepping a LOT. Manny will have to try to force the action, making him more appealing to the average or casual fan who are going to buy this fight. this in turn will probably kill Floyd as a major PPV sell for a good stretch.


    Now Floyd can still win a more action packed fight, but that is much more dangerous. He can either attempt to be the agressor, thus opening up his chances to be hit more often and more cleanly, or still counter, but try to rely on more lengthy exchanges. His chances of losing grow exponentially however, though if he does win, he will come out as a Sugar ray Leonard like superstar.

    My guess is Floyd goes with scenario one, wins a 116-112 decision, and Pac goes on to be the bigger box office draw as he attempted to make the fight more exciting.

    That was ZAB vs PBF...Floyd ate a lot of leather in that fight. So did Zab...just proves PBF had better stamina. Zab was never a work horse.

    come on dude you are smarter than that...you sound like a trainer sitting comfortably in the corner barking off commands like his fighter is out there against a punching bag.
    LOL He is out there with a real live human being who's swinging back...floyd adjusted and zab couldn't do **** about it except punch him below the belt bottom line!

    I simply can't understand how people bring up Gatti as some sort of great win for Floyd. :-(

    Pac got hit by Cotto and it did not hurt him. Void is void.
