    My exact point. of course he is going to look fast against a lightweight who never fought above 135 ever forced to step up 2 weight classes to 147.
    JMM style is suited for 125-135 landing close range combinations being the stronger fighter. JMM at 147 was a pointless exhibition.

    Ex, your whole conceit here is somewhat reductive.

    Honestly Floyd of the Manfredy fight would be KTFO by the Floyd of today, faster feet notwithstanding.

    speed and movement of floyd is getting less good.

    he has his timing and defence still,with improved strenght and size.

    he still is low with his combination output and punch output,as acurate as he is,pac could simply land more punches,look busier and win this way.

    i think pac is equal to floyd in stamina,handspeed,movement and good countering.

    no one can be sure of the fights outcome,what makes it so good and so needed right now

    Floyd will beat Pac with timing and technique just like Morales and Marquez beat Pac with timing and technique. Neither of those fighters were bouncing around the ring nor did they try and match PAcquiaos output.

    Not only does mayweather not use his legs anymore, but he doesnt fight on his toes anymore either. He's fought flat-footed since coming to WW. Now he's very flat. Pac will have no trouble closing and getting on the angles he wants.

    The shell defense won't work against a southpaw..watch floyd's other two fights with southpaws and you'll see floyd fighting in a high guard..the same high guard that cotto, dlh, and clottey got smashed in. It's harder for him to get the straight right off from that stance. And that straight right is virtually his only weapon against pac..a punch that roach will train non-stop to take away.

    Floyd will jab and HOLD A LOT. The right doesn't pac enough power to hurt pac. There will be a lot of holding..after he throws a lead right he'll follow into a hold...and he'll dive forward to hold in the middle of pac combo's to wrap him up.

    pac wins an easy and boring decision..but floyd fans will talk about "quality" of punches even though he'll get off about 400 to pacs 950.

    :deal

    *******s don't understand boxing. They think the guy has to be identical and fight a mirror match like stinkin Mortal Kombat in order to be competitive. The truth is that Floyd will destroy Manny in Gatti like fashion and *******s will be left scratching their heads. All of the so called footwork and angles and work rate will have magically disappeared. However, since Pussyao is their hero, they won't tear him down like they do the rest of Floyd's resume, they will just make a ton of excuses for him.
