    for clarification -
    Close In-fighting(phone boothing/mauling) - advantage, Mayweather
    Medium ranged In-fighting (No Man's Land, Staying in the Pocket, both fighters can hit w/ leverage) - advantage, Pacquiao
    Outside (Jab/cross range) advantage, Mayweather

    I can tell u are a new Mayweather watcher, because he does sit in the pocket at times. That's when he uses the shoulder roll.

    I agree, the differnce between Jones and Mayweather is that Jones don't have the smarts or skills Mayweather has. Mayweather can depend on his smarts and skills. Versus Jones who was all talent. When age caught up, he couldn't use his legs to avoid punches.

    I like this intelligent discussion. No insults and expletives.

    There is hope for us in ESB!

    This is where the style advantage lies for Void. Void can hit him while they're in the phone booth. When emmaneul tries to back up a bit to make space for his mid range, Void can take a step back to the outside then potshot. There's also the clinch option for Void since he's the stronger man. The angle advantages of being a southpaw are gone in the phone booth.

    If Floyd sticks in the pocket with Pacquiao I can see him possibly getting the knockout. If he spends too much time outside he'll just get the points win.

    Make this simple.
    Floyd beats Pac inside.
    He beats him outside.
    He beats him every which way.
    Floyd is bigger, stronger and faster.
    Pac will either quit or get knocked out.
    Now Pac may try to do his wild thing.
    That would probably result in a much earlier nite for him.

    He won't use the shoulder roll due to Pac being a southpaw.

    He will use a high guard.

    We all know how he fights from the high guard. This might end up brutal.
