I won't post here much but really i disagree (that Floyd steamrolls him) PBF's shoulder defence doesn't match up nicely against a speedy southpaw with a killer straight left. I think Pac could make it a close fight maybe knock PBF down and maybe win.
Good point. Floyd has never fought a lefty with a good, powerful straight left. Wait a minute..I believe Zab was very much left handed, very fast, and has a really good straight left. I'm gonna have to go ahead pick Floyd to dominate this fight. I don't see how Pac can get picked apart and clearly outboxed a good amount of the time against JMM, yet somehow beat Floyd. This is a total mistmatch. At least against JMM, Pac had big advantages in speed and power. JMM's defense and reflexes aren't that great at this stage either.
PBF had to totally adapt his style when he fought Zab because he was getting beaten early on. Zab landed that speedy left pretty well early on. PBF (and full credit to him) really started being the agressor and bringing the fight to Judah and only then did he start having alot of sucess. Also, Zab is really not as good a fighter as Pacquiao and also Zab loses focus as the fight wears on, Pacquiao doesn't. Also that counter right hook that Zab landed on Mayweather, Pac has that punch now too. And if PBF were to turn into the agressor against Pacquiao well he has the determination to counter fire with fire which Zab really didn't I think that on the contrary Zab vs PBF is a fight that really backs up my point.
I saw how Morales handled Pac in their first fight. Now Floyd is a much bigger beast than Morales. Floyd takes him out KO 9
JMM has a very different defensive style than Floyd and though both like to counterpunch they do it from completely different positions. Listen i am not saying that I would favor Pacquiao over Floyd at 130 but just thats its not as inconceivable as people think it is. Close odds on this one imo
