    Pacquiao. He's a southpaw and Floyd's never stood in the ring with someone like him before. I think it takes Floyd a few rounds to even figure out how he should fight him.

    Cotto sheer size and pressure make for a great challenge to Floyd but he is easy to hit. Tough pick because Cotto also has a great jab but I think Floyd's toughness is underrated he's pretty strong. I actually think Cotto will wear down

    Who is more likely to get tagged more a guy who has been stopped, knocked down and easy to find or a guy who has never really been hurt knocked down or stopped?:deal Not to mention PBF is the best defensive fighter of his era. Your argument here is a bad one.

    Exactly . . . Pac's footworks, head movements and him being a southpaw made me pick Pac. :yep

    PAC HAS A JAB...he just does'nt use it like a conventional fighter does. he's not looking to land it..It's more like to set up his flurries. Anybody notice how that straight left that put hatton to sleep was set up by a right jab??? I agree that PBF's right hand will cause a lot of problems for pac. If jmm's right can, then surely PBF's faster, more precise right WILL. Now I believe this is a legit 50/50 fight. I aint pac mowing down PBF, or PBF schooling pac, its 50/50 IMO. The only one that will beat PBF for sure is Paul williams.

    Pac's balance is so poor _ I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped right into a right hand or a leaping left hook.

    Pac's lack of a jab, short arms and his ability to fight only one way will be his undoing in this fight. Pac isn't a complicated guy to beat hell he has such an athletic advantage against people he's faced and against PBF he wouldn't have that advantage he would be in with a better boxer and just as good of an athlete if not better. JMM outboxed him for two fights and would have beat him if not for the knockdowns. PBF is on another level and much more complete PBF will show Pac so many looks that he's not used to seeing since he doesn't face slick fighters that he will be confused. When that confusion sets in against the smartest fighter in the game who has fast hands can counter great defense, can take punch and has great stamina he's ****ed.:deal He can't outbox PBF and he's not going to KO him either. Roach knows PBF's style will give Pac fits and that's why he's not in a real hurry to make the fight.

    Fair post.:good With that said he will need a conventional jab to beat PBF he has to have one to keep PBF honest or PBF will just outbox him. Williams is the only guy 154 and down that I'd tip to beat PBF he's a monster.

    They haven't avoided it they fought Zab, Mitchell and Corley who are southpaws. If anyone is doing some avoiding it would be Arum and Pac since they have never faced a slick defensive counter puncher like PBF's style and do their best to keep him away from that style.

    Not that Pac is a less skilled fighter than Cotto but i have to go with Cotto atm although this call all change once we see how Cotto vs Pac pans out.

    If Pac faints he doesn't need to jab. Pac keeps showing new weapons every fight as well. His right hook can floor Mayweather imo. I still think Floyd will win because he's smarter. But with good gameplan Pac is a little tougher than Cotto
