    Interesting, i gotta agree with bernstein:D Pac has unbelievable stamina and can go strong for 12 rounds. I agree that mayweather has to hit him with some big shots to make pac think twice about attacking cuz if he can't hurt pac, pac will be on his ass all day enroute to a UD or possible TKO:lol:

    I can promise Pac will respect Floyd...Floyd will end up chopping Manny up and the fight will be stopped! People talk about how badly Manny wants to knock out Floyd but I can bet you Floyd wants to stop him just as bad.

    I agree with bernstein, if pac gets dominated early its over for him, because by that time floyd will have already figured him out. but i can also see pac dominating early like judah or landing something big like mosley. but floyd will bounce back and just outsmart pac enroute to a UD, IMHO

    This is similar to what I said. If Pac can take a clean counter mid-combo without being seriously hurt, PBF is in for a long long night and might even get KTFO.

    Another thing I can see though is that Pac has been bruising under the eyes very easily at 147. So maybe if Floyd can make him swell there, the fight will be stopped due to that or it will impair his vision.

    Good idea for pac to have a plan that is moar than just try to knock him out early. Floyd doesn't ever get tagged by the same shot twice.

    pac gets better as the fight goes

    as for floydm look at the problems the left handers gave him

    Chop chop hurt him

    judah won rounds and dropped him

    Spadafora whipped him in sparring and the mayweathers wont allow a camera to a session ever since

    Pacs way better than all of them

    pac and roach have no such plan to knock out anybody early, other than no head movement hatton. they rarely plan for such and the last person theyd be banking on to land a big shot will be floyd. their point of view: if the stoppage comes it comes, but we have a 12 round fight to win.

    Yes he is, you clearly don't know what you are looking for. I know a trainer who has pointed out many flaws in Floyd footwork which leaves him out of position and off balance quite regular.

    Floyd can be beat though, Zab Judah knocked Floyd down, and what does both Judah and Pacquiao have in common?????" SOUTHPAW, and trust me, Roach has and will continue to do his homework

    Bottom line. Floyd is an exquisite technician, a boxing virtuoso.

    Manny is freak of nature.

    Freak of nature wins.

    It was also a short lead-hook counter that resulted in that technical KD, and Pac has recently been working on the exact same type of shot, the lead-hook counter. It's what he used to put Hatton down for the first KD.

    He looked a bit off balance when he got knocked down by Judah.

    (0:46 - 0:52)

    Then again, maybe he was just practising his steps for DANCING WITH THE STARS.
