    Interesting piece. Interview from Power 98 FM

    I think this goes back to a fairly used argument that it's going to be really hard to outpoint Pacquiao. Mike Tyson felt this way as well. He said Mayweather's "pot shot" style of laying back and being defensive won't work.

    Is he right or will Mayweather be able to stop Pacquiao's attack with his timely counters?

    FLoyd will outbox him and hurt Manny in this fight and he may very well time one of Manny lunges and stop him

    Mayweather will have to really up his output in this fight. If he can't hurt pac he will have trouble containing pac's aggression and volume with just pot shots. Marquez had a lot of success because he would throw 3 or punch combinations and often while pac was throwing. Mayweather has a different mindset as a counter puncher. He is defense 1st and then counter or he beats you to the punch then move.

    Keep in mind that mayweather's 2 main punches the jab to the body and that leaping left hook is not effective against southpaws. Basically his main weapon is that lead right hand and duck.

    Void does not have to throw any punches at all, the judges have already filled out their cards. Void's referee will be there to protect him just in case he gets into trouble. Void can't lose a decision in Vegas.............

    Excuses already?

    How will judges come into play when Pac won't make it to the final bell?

    Ask Mosley, Marquez, Nacho, Holyfield and many others who have warned Pac that he will have to knock Void out..................everyone knows that Void owns Vegas......................no judges will score against Void and the referee will do his job as needed..................

    You are no chin checker, you are an imposter. Your knowledge of chins is none. Log off and go back to your original account.

    That's what i've been saying all along: Marquez is willing to stand his ground and exchange, while Floyd only does it from distance.

    Manny needs to pace himself and not go for the KO, and he will outpoint Floyd.

    Pac will be training in private, no cameras allowed, not public allowed. Roach said he has been planing this fight for years now....................Haymon is buying up all of Pac's sparring partners and a bunch of other tricks................

    Pac will have his moments early just like every Mayweather opponent. they always have solid moments early in fights. But once Mayweather figures his opponent's pace, style, movements...etc then from that point on, it's pretty much a clinic of having an answer to any and everything that thrown at him.

    looks like it will be Bayless as the ref. That is Floyds personal boy. He won't let Floyd get hurt.

    Who ever thinks Floyd will not get hit and have to test is mental side this fight is crazy , too many Floyd fans claim "ez work , Pac cant hurt him" , this is crazy talk , Pac will come to a war and will be hitting Floyd in the face , Floyd might win (he is great fighter after all) but it wont be the "1 round to learn pac and then a clinic the rest of the way" bull**** ppl are spewing here.
    I believe the if Floyd wins it , it will be a war and you will see him bleed and hurt .
