The reason why floyd would now be a clear favourite over pacman.

Because he will insist on Cortez being ref

 

i have no problem with floyd being the favorite, slight or clear for this fight. after all, pac was supposed to be the underdog coming from the lower division, the naturally smaller guy and has the stylistic disadvantage. but don't confuse pac's recent performance to having lost his lust to inflict damage. the last time an opponent got on his nerves was hatton and he payed dearly for it with pac looking as vicious even after hatton was all over the place already from the round 1 drubbing. i have a hunch that it's the same case with marquez and that if pac won't beat marquez, with bad intentions, then i can agree with your theory that pac has really softened up on his desire to "kill opponents." after all, he has this quote after the margo fight that "boxing was not for killing".

 

Other than two free shots at VO Floyd hasnt Ko'd anyone. He's not gonna ko pac, not even Floyd thinks he will ko pac.

If you want to draw conclusions on how pac is open to the lead right because of the JMM fight id wait until the next JMM fight instead of travelling years back in time.

Floyds legs aint what they were. Pressure is the fundamental key to beating floyd in my opinion and pac brings it in spades with speed, power, stamina, solid chin a sth paw stance and a master strategist in his corner.

As for pac mellowing etc..no. His psychological game is relative to his opponent, he's said it numerous times.

 

Pac is an Asian gentleman. You pay him respect and he's gonna reciprocate.

Floyd is gonna talk so much trash beforehand (and in fact already has), that Pac is gonna feel his honor smeared and he's gonna go in there with a vengeance.

I still see the fight about 50-50, but it's not gonna be any fighter's eye of the tiger that's gonna matter.

 

yeah alright, Floyd's the favorite because he sucker punched a guy to prove he's a meanie

 

Floyd was always going to be the betting favorite over Pac. The problem is like a have been saying for almost 3 years, the fight will never happen. Pac will fight his 3rd fight with JMM then Bradley, then his 4th fight with JMM, then Martinez after he loses his title and is 45 years old.

Only way this fight happens is if Pac gets away from Arum. Then Roach wont let it happen until he sees that Floyd has slipped with age.

 

Lets not forget Floyd turned to Cortez after the headbut not looking at Ortiz.
What happened to protect urself at all times ? looked like let me get my ref over here.
Floyd had no answers on the ropes. He has no defesnse for lead lefts either.
B4 defenseless and bizarre ending Ortiz laid the blueprint.
Southpaw lead left cant miss

 

You best believe Pac would be his ****ing savage self if he ever fights floyd. Man If Floyd fights the way he's fought in his last couple of fights. Pac-Mayweather would be epic.

 

Only if Pac wins. They could have a Hagler Hearns style fight and if Floyd wins disappointment would run wild.

Then all the excuses would start.

 

In short, lil floyd is scared to face Pacquiao that's why the fight will never happen.
