Vivek Wallace : Floyd's Best Chance Against Pac is to Bang, NOT Box

He can do both and beat a flawed guy like Pac. He's that much better technically than the guy.

 

If he goes toe 2 toe there's a good chance he gets KO'd.

 

I honestly believe Pac/FMJ is not going to happen. Not because of negotiation issues...but am I the only one who believes that JMM will ruin the Pac/FMJ fight. Why everyone thinks that Pac will blow-through and blow-out JMM, is just crazy. I don't see any improvement in Pacquiao's style, technique, footwork nor balance...at all! Just because you beat bigger and slower opponents, doesn't mean that you have improved. I see JMM winning this fight in Nov. However, because of the Politics of Boxing...I can totally see JMM winning the fight, but Pacquiao getting the decision...ala their previous two bouts.

 

pacs strength is the center of the ring. floyd too smart to do that. floyd gonna fight him close enough to counter when pac makes a mistake. but, pac is too fast to fight him toe to toe. floyd gonna box him. i know i would

 

Interesting......I believe you believe that but there's about as much chance at JMM upsetting PAC as Victor beating Floyd in a rematch. But It's clear you have your warped perception based on not knowing that PAC has improved A LOT since his last fight with JMM.

Oh...and the first fight was a draw! A GIFT draw at that....one where JMM only got to hold on to his belts due to a scoring mistake by one incompetent judge. the rematch 4 yrs later was close...but PAC won.

 

No one thought Floyd would knock the **** out Ortiz either in the 4th round.

lol..didn't floyd just beat a bigger and slower opponent?atsch

 

Well said.

 

The last couple fights, Floyd stayed in the pocket. It could be that for whatever reason, he has come to believe that this is his best strategy now. I hope that's the case, because suddenly a prospective fight between Pac and Floyd starts to be an exciting and explosive one.

 

Floyd can easily dictate the pace of the fight by making Pacquiao miss and countering him. He could do that til the cows came home.

 

Nah... Floyd will have limited success making PAC miss and counter.. He use to seeing one...maybe two punches that he easily avoids and capitolizes on....but that's usually from an orthodox stance and not from a southpaw stance...Plus PAC throws a LOT from all sorts of angles. He's not controling pace...he should stick to things he can control and distance is his best bet.

 

How many times does it have to be said. Pac will not throw that many punches against PBF. PBF won't allow him he will move or counter him. How many guys have you seen throw combos on PBF and be successful? I'll wait.:deal The jist of any Pac fans' analysis is that Pac will overwhelm PBF with punches like he does everyone else what they fail to realize is that PBF isn't like everyone else. He's the smartest and best defensive fighter of this era.

 

PAC could throw HALF his normal punch output and it would still be more than what Floyd is use to....and chances are he won't be discouraging PAC as much as you might think. There's really NOTHING floyd can do to change PAC's style which is a very unusual rythm that isn't easily anticipated.

I don't really see anyone throw combos on Floyd...they are usually throwing one or two shots at a time which is why Floyd is easily taking advantage of the opportunities.

Floyd isn't like anyone else...but on the same token...neither is PAC. He's got the best ring IQ I've seen in years...but he'll need a little more than just having more ring smarts to beat PAC and stop the relentless offense that will surely come his way.

FLoyd is the best defensive fighter vs PAC who is the best offensive fighter in the last 10 to 15 yrs. It's an interesting Match up but I must say I like PAC's chances based on what I saw in the fight with Victor. I'm not willing to bet a grip....but if I had to I'd bet on PAC which wasn't always the case. Floyd's reluctance is a BIG part of why I think Manny would take the "W".

 

What you fail to realize is that PBF has said test and we can have a fight. It's Pac who won't agree to be tested not the othe way around. Pac is the one who is reluctant.

 

What you don't get is if Pac throws half the number of punches he's used to throwing that means PBF has done his job he's not fighting his fight but rather fighting PBF's.:deal Now we have a slower pace a pace that Pac can't fight at because he can't outbox PBF he will get schooled when that happens.
