I know the popular comparison is JMM=PBF but that doesn't necesarily mean same results. Maybe JMM just had the PERFECT style to tame Pac. I know PBF would make Pac miss the initial shot or two but can he stop the 3rd, 4th and 5th shots? That's where Pac's ridiculous footspeed would've played a big factor. I can't call it. Gun to my head, PBF. But if Pac got through that D and started teeing off, I would not have been shocked one bit. Boxing fans were obviously cheated out of this fight.
When people compare there ages, Pac definitely relies more on athleticism. This fight is very similar to Roy Jones vs Hopkins fight 1 and 2. Totally different outcomes and their similar in age. That being said Pac would beat him in 09. And Floyd knew the longer he waited the better chance he had.
