    Man "prime" Pac is up for debate. That is like discussing "prime" Barry Bonds. Yeah and we don't have evidence on either guy so...

    Yeah and the only judge who scored that crap for ODLH was an idiot. (Related?) If you saw that fight and saw how ODLH could be ahead on ANYONE'S score card... you don't know crap about boxing.

    Most? What is your point? ALL of them beat the brakes off of Pac. Pac is simple. Tell him to test and get in that ring. It will be settled.

    They're two good observations, but not enough to base a gameplan on. It's not like you can wait for him to go to your body and then counter him or wail away with overhand rights. But it's good information to have nonetheless.

    I truly believe that the only way Floyd is going to lose is in Hopkins-esque fashion. He gets outworked as a result of not throwing enough. Will probably only happen when he's old as **** too.

    You say "obviously", but honestly what else is there? Look at the Cotto fight. Mosley can't catch a guy pot shotting and moving. Are you saying that Cotto's foot speed/work is better than Mayweather's? The only thing Cotto had was volume of jabs. Volume can always be substituted for with accuracy and timing.

    Dude, how many (wild) rights can't you throw before the guy moves or counters? This is boxing not a Van Damme movie and FMJ ain't no ******* jack. Work him to the ropes, get him to roll his shoulder, throw the shot... If it lands? He moves and next time is looking for it. If he misses? He moves and next time is looking for it. So he has only a few chances to throw it.

    Mayweather's jab is crisp, clean, and fast...but one thing it is not is voluminous coming from Floyd. Pot-shotting will not work the same way stiff continuous jabs worked against Mosley.

    These two are just the flaws that I see, that's all. If you see any other flaws that he has, may you care to share them then?

    trick the judges into thinking you won the rounds by volume punching and smiling after

    Marquez landed a straight right on Floyd's chinny chin chin a couple of times in their fight. He was on to something. Too bad, he didn't have the power to hurt him.

    There is only one way we will ever see Mayweather Jr. lose and it is neither one of the ways TS stated. To beat Lil' Floyd, you have to outbox him, period. That whole "rough him up against the ropes and throw a lot of punches at his arms" bull**** is a sure way to LOSE to him. That route plays right into what he wants you to do. It is going to take a superior boxer with a reach advantage and good timing. Paul Williams is the only guy I see even coming close to beating Floyd, and I still don't see that happening. I don't know Floyd is one of those guys who is so good that you really can't say how to beat him until somebody does it. But, my best bet would be on someone outboxing him. Running his own game on him. Flurry and than dance, make him be the aggressor.

    Its hard to believe that Floyd fights so well on the inside considering his rep... I am no fan of Floyd but no one has been able to completely dominate him on the inside since Castillo

    Castillo never DOMINATED Floyd in any aspect of neither fight.

    you have to respect Floyd's offense and power for starters to even have a chance......this is what people fail to realize.....prefight they talk of he doesnt hit hard or he just defensive and they get in the ring and press press press trying to get to him to rough him up and lad bombs....all the while getting set up for traps and shots and getting picked off.

    they gotta repsect Floyd the boxer first.
