    Reach is unimportant in this fight

    You don't know what you are talking about. Floyd's shoulder roll is vulnerable against a fast and powerfull southpaw like Pac.

    Which would make a pac win even more better. Floyd has all the advantage physically, chemically and got even the homecourt.

    Pac's 4-5-6 punching combinations and Floyd's seeming distaste for engaging is a recipe for disaster.

    Pacquiao hasn't thrown that in years.

    Reach means something when the opponent is slow, such as Stiverne against Wilder or as most opponents of Wlad. In lower weight divisions where most fighters are fast, it doesn't mean as much especially with an elite boxer like Pac who can create opportunities against jabs.

    This fight will look like Gamboa/Crawford and/or Rigo/Donaire. One guy relies too much on athleticism and the other relies on technique.

    Great points I always go with the old adage a good big man beats a good small man.. For Mannynto have success he will have to be in Floyd's face all night cut the ring off Thats the only way if he finds himself at the end of Floyd's punches its going to be a bad night for Manny
