    If this fight happens, i'm putting down a lot of money on PBF. He'll win. I don't like the guy but i know he will win.

    i love cotto but i dont think he has the speed to deal with floyd. floyds speed is killer! it has to be speed 4 speed and manny has what it takes. not to mention he's a south paw. thats a huge advantage 4 manny. if judah gave floyd trouble, than a faster south paw with power may be the key to beating floyd.

    I would say Many Cottos would do the job.

    Marquez landed his right hand on Floyd a bit more than he should have. Imagine Pac's right hook. Also Pac isn't exactly a come forward pressure fighter. He has a strange rhythm, attacks from angles, and throws punches one does not see coming. Everyone who fights Pac says this, the handspeed is too much. And yes, Pac is way the **** faster than Floyd.

    great analysis. youre right! if marquez can connect with clean right hands, manny can do the same, if not more.

    And Floyd keeps his left hand way down low.
    I don't think Floyd is succeptable to left hooks. A straight left yes (Manny) and a right hand hell yes (again Manny.)

    Floyd wouldn't keep his left hand low if he wasn't a ****ing genius at dodging.

    Maybe, but I don't see enough fighters exploit that side, everyone's trying to land a left hook, the one side most difficult to land on because of Floyd's stance and guard.

    Pacman will whack him with left hands all night. When PBF rolls that shoulder, he'll be eating left hand leather.

    I'm gonna have to disagree. All night? hmm..

    If there's one thing you can count on from Floyd it's not getting hit a lot.

    Manny is smaller also.. I just don't see him connecting solid shots all too often.

    PBF destroyed JMM, what makes you think Pac can bring anything different?

    You know that's some hard **** to try and answer. We know how skilled Floyd is, but it's hard for me to really judge him based on his last 6 or 7 fights. He just hasn't faced and elite primed fighter in quite some time besides I'll say it Hatton. In that fight h4e was faced with a strong pressure fighter but with limited reach and an uncomfortable weight as proved by Collazo. Until the last couple rounds it was very close and Floyd looked real uncomfortable, Cortez did the Hitman no favors either. Floyd loses rounds and a better fighter can make him lose even more. I can see Cotto and Mosley doing what Hatton did but being bigger, better, faster, and just about everything else a little better. Pac has a style like no one else and I really question how Floyd who is always use to being the better athlete is faced with a man who can move about the ring much better than himself.
