    It will have a significant effect. Makes it harder for Pacquiao to land punches without getting hit himself. makes it easier for Floyd to hit and not get hit. If Pacquiao is willing and able to take Floyd's punches to land his own punches then he can still win.

    Did you agree to our bet? I don't think you did. Are we on? Yes or No? You never got back with me.

    not much as Floyd doesnt always use his jab to create distance against southpaws.

    And Pac has faster feet so will be able to close the distance no
    problem

    And Floyds legs have gone and he will be sitting on the ropes a lot where Pac will pick him apart

    PBF around 150 Pac around the same. But PBF is naturally the bigger man and that's the difference.

    Is he really though? Floyd is taller and has longer limbs but they both weigh about the same according to you and Pacquiao hits harder.

    Pacman actually has long arms, he has been listed from 23-25" inches. Mayweather has been listed at 25-26".

    Height roughly equal.

    Mayweather is clearly the bigger man and has all the physical advantages.

    except in the legs department. Floyd will be sitting on the ropes more then ever before in this fight, his legs are gone.

    Not sure about that...Floyd showed Freddie Mercury levels of octave range when Maidana bit his glove.

    PBF is naturally the bigger man he has the bigger frame.
