    100% and the thing I been saying all along is Floyd when he keeps that straight up high guard cant see the right hook that Ortiz shot right over his left bicep.
    Why you don't need a jab as a Southpaw vs Floyd. he can see straight punches.
    Lead left then right hook or the opposite then down to the body.
    I am surprised that Garcia didn't drill Ortiz to only work the body when Floyd is on the ropes w/ the high guard.

    And Floyd don't have enough punching power to disrupt Pacman's onslaught.

    It is the worst nightmare style match up for Floyd. Power - agree. Floyd at WW
    not even close to whats needed to disrupt. There is no way Floyd can win with that guard and the power level.

    No shock why he won't go near Pacquiao. Who can even prepare him for Manila ice. That **** will get thru everytime unless she changes the guard as seen vs Victor.

    Pac has no commmercials since HP got out of the Ipad and hardware business.

    Floyd has none either.

    What does that answer?

    Manny still isn't on the level of fame as Joe Louis, SRL, SRR, Jack Johnson, or Mike Tyson.

    George Foreman is rich off a grill, not boxing. Remember that.

    Whining about Cortez because he didn't allow Hatton to wrestle like he gets away with at home. :lol::lol:

    Hatton was never in the fight with Floyd, period.

    :huh

    Floyd's True Fans... like talk fight tactics they think boxing is just a static thing. That Pacquiao is just going to come in the same way; sort of like the Ortiz the Tree. But even the tree was able to land shots... Pacquiao should be HONORED that he's the first boxer to get in Mayweather's head that it SCARED him so much he demanded OSDT. He didn't ask 40 other opponents for the test, yet he asked the midget... :lol:

    Pacquiao can only hope Floyd walks into the ring old one day should they fight.

    I don't care what Pac's plan is, I just want to know how he is going to get past floyd's jab and deal with movement and angles and the constant turning that Floyd is going to employ?

    These guys think Floyd is going to walk into the ring and get hit with combos like those non defensive fighters Cotto and Margarito. This kills me. It's like they think Floyd will cover up and quit and won't hit Pacquiao at all. This is so ****ing funny. ****en trolls.

    lmao, you included Foreman in the list of famous boxers who became poor after their careers were over thinking foreman shared the same fate. I corrected you and you probably had to check on wikipedia :lol::lol:.

    :deal:rofl:rofl

    Foreman wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for his grill advertisement, he admitted that.

    Legacy didn't pay the bills being able to sell grills did.
