    But lets not forget.

    Pac countered the counter of Marquez.

    Yeah but Marquez is about 1/4 inch taller with the same reach as Manny. Floyd has by far more advantageous physical properties.

    It would be the battle of the straight left or the straight right. I gotta tell you though, I never seen anybody throw a straight right like PBF does

    I personally dont think Floyd will take the fight. Roach will insist it is at 140 pounds and Floyd will use teh negotiations to get his ass out of the fire. Beause he will have to train harder and be as sharp as he can be to win against Pac Man.

    I just dont think he wants to be bothered by it. he will fight Jmm and if he gets by him he will try and cget Delahoya out and then he is gone. He wont fight cotto, mosley or Pac man

    I agree the negotiations will be a problem but Oscar is finished a fight between PBF-Oscar at this point wouldn't even break 500K in buys there's no money in it.

    Floyd has more options, why should he move down to fight Manny? The only super fights for Manny are at 147 from here on out.

    He's vulnerable to the same punch that everyone in boxing is _ the jab ... The reason why Morales beat Pacquiao for the first time because he kept the jab in his face and he stood tall in exchanges.

    He's also vulnerable to body punches; over hand rights (he's always moving but he can't take punches over the top) and the right uppercut.
    All these punches are punches he's had trouble with in the past and most recently the second fight against Marquez and the last loss he had against Morales. Pac looked weak later in the fight against Marquez and if he would've kept his body attack going he possibly couldve stopped Pacquiao ... Pacquiao was showing wear and it seemed as though the longer the fight went on the more Marquez' punches were effecting him.

    We all know that Mayweather has a large arsenal and he has some of the best defensive skills (only seen by a handfull of modern day boxers)

    He'll keep the straight jab to the belly going against Pac _ he'll also bring down the pace of the fight _ something that Pacquiao hasn't seen - most of the fighters he's beaten were fighting his type of fight and trying to either match him physically or wait around looking for a target.

    so floyd should be the one who goes down when he has been fighting at 147 or ABOVE for years???? if they command 140 then it is roach and pac who want their ass out of the fire

    The prob with Floyd/Pac is ****ing Bob Arum. Unless he dies in between Pac will be fighting somebody like Cotto or ..........Margarito...thats how much Arum wants to keep that **** in house.. LOL. Pacman/Mayweather is not going to happen.

    Pac has never faced a fighter like FLoyd ... a defensive first fighter who won't engage him, who won't waste punches, who's in great shape and will be the same from 1st to the 12th round, who punches well to the body ...

    Almost the same thing they said before Pac-Hatton. I'm not being over confident but...

    I see this fight as UNPREDICTABLE!!!!

    a true toss up fight. Most ppl like me think Mayweather is the better boxer but Pacquiao is no joke and is still getting better which is CRAZY!!
