    Nobody has had that style though. If you read that quote. It said that de la hoya and Judah showed glimpses of it. Where they threw combinations and got out and Floyd never got a chance to fire back but those guys don't have the engine pac has therefore they cant do it for 12 rounds or consistently.

    Pac is naturally a combination puncher with fast feet and fast hands. He wont get discouraged if he lands 3 out of 10 combinations. He will keep throwing. I believe that is a bad style match up for Floyd.

    You're entitled to your wrong opinion . Pac can't throw punches consistently anymore. And while he's throwing those combos, Floyd is throwing back. Countering. All night.

    I think they have styles to cause each other trouble. Mayweather is a great counterpuncher but Pacqiao is so fast and can throw so many different combinations that Mayweather could be on the losing end of many of those exchanges.

    Marquez himself has lost most of the exchanges with Pacqiao BUT he has REAL KO POWER and so more dangerous for Pacqiao. Mayweather will find it hard to constantly outspeed and outhit Pacqiao; he will have to knock him out. Bradley couldn't and so he lost, twice.

    I think there is a reason MAYWEATHER has ducked Pacqiao for so long; made so many excuses and set so many pre-conditions. It isn't Bob Arum.

    He will get discouraged after unloading combos hiting nothing and eating clean counters he's not a robot. Pbf is a bad match up for Pac and it's the reason why most boxers say pbf wins and why he's the favorite in the sports books. Good defense beats good offense we've seen this time and time again.:deal

    Has Floyd in his 46 fights not adjusted, adapted, and dominated a multitude of styles? If we are being honest you should agree that Floyd has comfortably defeated more styles than any active fighter. Look at Pac still struggling with counterpunchers, Floyd comfortably defeats counter punchers, big guys, small guys, aggressive guys, head hunters, body punchers, stalkers, pure boxers, slick, old, young, angry it dont matter he has seen it all.

    This is where you're wrong he won't find it hard to out speed Pac. Pbf has faster reflexes and would beat Pac to the punch all night long. Pac hasn't been too keen on facing pbf in fact roach admitted in an interview posted here that it was their fault the fight didn't happen during the first negotiations because they weren't willing to do random drug test.

    Look at any interview from back then and Roach would always say I think we need 2 or 3 more fights then we'd be ready for Mayweather. Pac has never been ready for Mayweather.

    I'm not convinced Floyd potshots discourage pac at all. Mayweather does not have the KO power of marquez or the combination punching of marquez to disrupt pac while pac is throwing. Floyd usually beats you to the punch or he stays in that shell and fires when the there is no risk of him getting hit.

    Floyd is very defensive minded and I think that will work against him vs pac. Against other guys it works well because he frustrates them but pac like I said is naturally a volume puncher with endless stamina. Pac don't mind taking one to land one.

    Pacquiao vs Juan Manual Marquez 4 and posssibly 5 WTF!!!

    vs Morales Three Freakn Times!!!

    vs Barrera Twice??? Why when MAB was stopped in fight #1 ??!!

    vs Bradley TWO!!! And both fights were dull as hell!!!


    So just to add it up for you Pacquiao has signed 12 fights with these same opponents!! This is what you call JUICING the public! When Bob Arum can keep selling this same sh-t over and over what is the point of fighting Floyd and losing everything in the process??

    Floyd hasn't fought a style like pac's. Who in Floyd's resume has pac's attributes? When was the last time mayweather fought somebody as fast as pac? Both hand and foot speed and can go for 15 rounds?

    No agenda,they are slow. Canelo and Cotto has good enough speed to throw combinations(but not out of this word fast, and does not have the angles that Pac always get) on stationary target(most boxers do), but in terms of movement(body and feet) they are slow. Even at this stage Oscar can throw fast combination on

    LOL, most boxers throws fast punches against stationary target(not as fast as Pacquiao).

    Pac is a southpaw who has one good punch the straight left, Floyd has seen that style many times before. You should ask yourself how is a guy with no jab, no right hand, bad defense, KO losses, and tax problems going to beat Floyd.

    Yup, and we should not only add the speed, but the angles,stamina and power as well.
