    If Pacman's success from the age of 25 has been built around the advantages of PEDs, this fight will never happen.

    If it hasn't, and this fight does come about, I still don't see Mayweather losing it.

    As fierce a fighter as the Pacman can be, Mayweather has the mental strength, boxing skills, ring experience and courage to snuff out Pac's best challenges.
    I have no doubt Pacman isn't physically afraid of Mayweather. But I suspect he doesn't want to find out that Mayweather has lessons to teach him in the ring. Pacman is king of his own mountain. Why start a war he mightn't win?

    Cause PAC is a warrior. Fear isn't in his vocabulary. If PAC was a lil bigger there's no doubt he'd fight Sergio. I'm barely 5'8" and I saw PAC several times and believe me he is small. Like really small. It boggles me how he kept fighting these bigger guys. The closest I saw PAC was around 8 feet away and in my estimation the dude is like 5'5" tops.

    That's always how he's fought against southpaws. Rewatch the Mitchell and Corley fights if you don't believe me.

    With his 12% jab percentage. What did he land 2 jabs a round lol.
    Anyone can hit Ortiz. Floyd can't control a full round vs B level southpaws w/o that jab.
    Good luck when they never fight.

    He doesn't fight backwards so much as he springs forward with agility when forced on his backfoot. He dances around a lot to flank opponents who come forward, which would bring up an interesting question of how Floyd will respond when Pac tries that with him. There's a clip of SRL shifting to Hagler's side, and Hagler responds by turning around and smacking him with a hook. Would love to see Floyd do that to Pac, even if he can pull it off just once.

    I'm telling you, most of their breakdowns go like this: Pacquiao is going to come in winging power punches, not working behind an effective jab, and just walk through the punches Mayweather lands, and keep punching. I swear to God a lot of them believe that bull****. They been watching too many Rocky movies, seriously.

    None of them talk about the 16% jab connect rate of Manny from JMM II onward. The 3% jab against Clottey. The 12% and 13% against Oscar and Mosley. His off balance combinations that put him out of position. The fact he will NOT have a significant speed advantage in the fight, if he has one at all. He will have a height and reach disadvantage, and does not fight well in the clinch.

    That's because most of them have never been in the ring before and most just started watching boxing. They think Pac is some God who can't be defeated. They will be shocked the way PBF handles that boy if they fight.

    It's a pickem fight and Floyd fans don't wana admit their boy might stand a chance to lose in this one. To them he is an undefeatable god.

    Floyd is controlled by his fear of Pac...
