Everyone has already started saying that all FM Jr has to do to beat Pac is to back pedal and jab all night. Which is almost certainly what he would do. So what if Pac just told the public and FM Jr straight out that he was not going to take a step forward the entire fight ?(of course after the contracts are signed) Literally go on an Ali style crusade about FM Jr lack of bravado etc. That it isn't a question about him being a real "fighter / warrior" but about Floyd being scarred to fight and back pedaling. So it he would leave it up to Floyd to make it a real fight. It isn't like Pac cant fight going backward. What happens in this scenario?
I don't think Floyd would fight any different. People who say Mayweather ''runs'' can't appreciate a masterful boxer. It's not running if your winning the round. Cotto ''ran'' in the second half of the fight on saturday. There's a big difference.
You have back pedaling , biking, and running. Floyd is more of a back pedaling biker. But that isnt the question. This is a WHAT IF scenario. So you dont think he can get under Floyds skin like the scenario suggest? Make it so Floyd has to come forward. Again strictly a WHAT IF ...
