    if this is true (probably not).. when he fights in 8 oz gloves hes gonna break a bone. hes got fragile hands and those sparring gloves arent 8 oz.. even if he got so much stronger like people are saying his bones sure didnt.. could turn out bad.

    This fight will not be about power. This fight will be about work rate and who finishes strongest.

    There are a lot of soft people here. So if a sparring partner says he punches hard, he was paid to say it?! :patsch

    Well if you came in expecting a toddlers punch and got hit by a girl punch you'd be kinda surprised too wouldn't you? Doesn't mean it hurt tho, just surprised it had more power than you expected.

    The best boxers usually have average power. Yes there are exceptions (Ali, SRL. Prince Naseem, etc...)

    Its like baseball. With the exception of a few, the best hitters (Batting Average wise) are not the players with the most home runs every season.

    He's not fooling anyone. Floyd has no power. He had to sucker punch Ortiz. Collazo, a non-puncher, KO'd Ortiz better without a sucker punch. That puts things into perspective.

    Good. So there's no excuses when Floyd whoops Pac's butt. Will just show how weak Pac's chin really is. If Pac doesn't beat a feather fisted fighter with no power, what does that say about him? There's no way Pac would beat someone like Sweet Pea ... right?

    This should be a surprise!! Many of Floyd's opponents have said that Floyd is stronger then he looks and he hits harder then they expected. Not to say he has numbing KO power, but he has enough power to make you respect him and not try to just bull rush.

    And so does memo.

    Dont know if fortune designs pacs gear schedule, but I think both fighters are gonna be on a somewhat even enhanced playing field.
