    Now when you say, "letting Pac do all the work" (in references to Welters) I assume you mean by him beating Cotto ONLY. Right?

    Cause Floyd fought and beat the other guys Pac fought at that weight before he ever did. I'm sure you know this, though.

    He's lucky he got past Clottey...that was a DQ...he was behind on ALL cards even with the point deductions. Had that fight gone the distance we would've seen Judah vs. Clottey instead and I think we know what happened there :yep

    Floyd vs. Clottey :think...now THATS interesting

    Not a single point in there convinced me that Pac will lose. Not one.

    I can also say, "that the greatest trick Pac ever pulled was convincing us he'll lose to Floyd".

    In fact that saying should be used MORE on Pac than Floyd because everybody here has Floyd winning. Pac is the underdog so that saying fits him better.

    I know what you mean i think you just didn't put things inot proper perspective. Floyd did not plan Pac's meteoric rise, and it's an insult to say that Pac's ranking today was somehow managed to bring this showdown with Floyd. Again, I favor Floyd, but by reasonable margin, Pac has a very good chance winning this one.

    However at this level, every physical and fundamental advantage is critical. The styles of the two men are quite opposite, where a very dynamic offensive fighter meet a cool, calculating defensive master. However let's not lose the fact that Mayweather is the bigger guy here, and that might be enough to decisively change the outcome of the fight. And for those who says Floyd doesn't use his height, please review the Marquez fight. That was a supreme example of how to use your size against an opponent. When two men face with almost the same level of skills, albeit contrasting one, the one with physical advantage logically has the edge.

    A win by Floyd should be rated highly, but the problem is that his supporter will be claiming stratospheric ATG ranking for Floyd, which his resume does not simply stacks up. It would be good if we know for sure he will fight Mosley after Pac, but we did know he retired when the WW was burning hot. You can't claim you're the best by beating a guy who, although might be on par with you in ATG sense, is still smaller than you and has the resume to back his ranking while you dont have. Did Pryor rates higher than Arguello when he beats him?

    I said 'mirror' it with Nazim's statements. Meaning the opposite to what he said.

    Lmao this is total fail, not once has Floyd ever gave us hint that he might lose. He is being very cocky about the fight saying PAC has been beaten, may will be victorious is what he's said.

    Your a little late to the game your topic title wod make sense if it was about mayweather and JMM!!!!!!!!!

    ****** OP get a brain.
