    Tyson thinks Pacquiao's lateral movement, footwork, and activity will be too much for Mayweather.

    Interesting. Thoughts?

    These floyd fans saying it will be easy are going to be in a shock when pac puts mayweather in a shell and give him no choice but to exhange with pac.

    Pac hasn't been that fighter Tyson described in a minute.

    I always thought I was one of the few who thought being defensive and cautious wouldn't win Mayweather rounds. He's got to fight or he just won't be able to outpoint him. Potshots and timely counters won't be enough against a guy who's throwing near 100 a round. Glad to see someone agree with me, let alone that person be Mike Tyson!

    Thurman said:

    "I think he’s going to be open for the counters, but I think he can make them up with some of the flurries. Manny Pacquiao throws punches from awkward angles sometimes. I think he’s decently accurate as well, just not as accurate as Mayweather. So, with that in mind, if Pacquiao can read some of Mayweather’s movement – which is very difficult to do – he might be able to land some interesting punches or put him in a situation to land some combinations.”

    Tyson was gloating over Pacquiao after his Rios fight. That was not that long ago.

    Quote, "I can't think of a fighter who looked more sensational than how Manny Pacquiao looked against Brandon Rios."

    will definitely be interesting to see if floyd can time the in and out movement of pac. i don't think floyd can pot shot that style either. unless floyd hypnotizes pac into a daze which he can do if floyd simply blocks everything and clinches pac to sleep, which i can see happening. pac might bradley floyd and lose by robbery just like the 1st fight or they might give it to pac out of more activity.

    Yeah, it may come down to what the judges prefer... accuracy or activity. Though, as long as Pac can maintain 30%, I think he will be okay.

    Manny is not throwing 100 punches around, he will be dictated to and Floyd out points him

    EVERYTHING!!! Depends on who the officials are for this fight.
    If Bayless is referee & 3 of the Vegas mafia are judging we already know what they prefer

    But I thought Pacquiao has problems with orthodox fighters?

    Fight wouldn't be happening if there was even a 10% chance floyd could lose.
    Fight didn't happen 6 years ago BECAUSE it was 50/50 chance he might lose.

    Styles make fights. It's why Floyd has been reluctant to accept the challenge Manny's style presents. It's not an easy fight for Floyd....He can still win but it's not a fight that he's certain he can win. I believe Floyd is at a point where he's looking to make a statement. So we will see a Floyd who wants to go in on Pac and prove he can beat Manny straight up.....not pot shot, hold rinse, repeat to a 12 round decision. I think this is another classic in the making. We shall see.
