    Let's be honest - if Mosley could unload on Floyd like he did on Margarito, Floyd would die. His punch resistance is mediocre. But you can't just unload on Floyd because he is a genius in the ring even hurt. Grabbing the punching hand and drawing into a death clench immediately after it buzzes you so there is no follow up is such an effective survival instinct in the ring.

    His best chance is to pressure and just go for the body, forget the head he ain't landing there.

    I agree Pacman needs to use volume and win rounds based on aggression. He's not going to win if he hangs on the outside and let Floyd dictate the pace.
    I'm not sure if Pacman has the stamina any more. If they fought 5 years ago I would have favored Pacman, but Pacman's style ages quicker. I said it years ago that Floyd will wait for Pacman to slow down before taking the fight. Seems I was right. At this point in time the fight favors Floyd, with Pacman as a very very live underdog.

    i disagree with not being able to tag the head, i reckon he can get 1-2's in for the head, if its a quick shot,
    but ideally the body shots are going to be best option,
    his best option is not waiting for floyd to dictate, but get off with a quick combo, move to an angle out side like he does best, and repeat.

    Good points, although he boxed Guerrero for a full 12.

    Bull****. Floyd's punch resistance is fantastic as is his ability to adapt and come back after taking hard shots. Proven many times over alongside his chin.

    I didn't think anybody would see that but you'er right. Pac's left is longer than one would think.

    Pac isn't big enough to apply constant pressure to Floyd.
    If he can't get his left off consistently, it's going to be an easy fight for Floyd.
