    Thanks for responding.

    But im not impying that at all. Yes he claims to be hardest worker in boxing but that still doesn't mean we have seen the best of him yet. What im saying is there has been glimpses of him being tested and having to dig deep (i.e.castillo fight, judah fight, mosley fight) but I still do not believe that he has had an opponent that will force him to lay it all out like I think Pac can/will

    no he means EXTRA, floyd does give 100% but sometimes a person can go the extra distance that he or she doesnt usually doesnt go for, floyd will probably be in another Level Mentally and unleash possibly an unxpected ass wooping after round 8 for all we know, he may feel something just go off in his head and just obliterate pacquaio and put together combos seemingly without even thinking about it out of nowhere for example, a person can do this and has been done many times,

    like that highschool kid who was handicapped or something and then out of nowhere he was bombing 3 pointers left and right throughout the game, one of the craziest **** ive ever seen,

    extraordinary measures happen all the time and could very well happen to someone as good as Floyd

    Pacman is a great fighter of that there is no doubt and he has improved. However the difference between him and PBF is that it has been proven that there are at least several ways of beating whereas it has not been proven in 16 years of world class championship boxing that PBF can be beaten.

    I've spoken to a fighter who is a pretty reliable source with connections to Mayweather who said this fight will happen.

    My take on this fight is dead even.

    I think Floyd has a ton of skill. His defense is probably the best I've ever seen. His offense is just as good, however he's not as offensive as I would like to see him. When he is pressed he is able to show that great defense and counters effectively. He is a very accurate counter puncher. (Ask Ricky Hatton)

    Manny on the other hand has shown to improve with age. I think he possesses power in both hands and his defense has improved greatly. He slips punches more often than he used to and hardly ever do you see him going straight back after throwing his combinations.

    I think they are damn near equal in the speed department. I may give the slight edge to Pac because the throws more combinations and Floyd is more of a one shot artist.

    Ring generalship: I give a slight edge to Floyd. He always appears to be cool, calm, and collected. Manny seems like he can be rattled and become a little wreckless.

    Beard: Again, slight edge to Floyd. Hell, he got hit in the mouth by a bill goat and never flinched. Plus, he hardly ever gets hit clean. He rolls with punches like no other. Manny, has been busted up in several fights and has tasted the canvas.

    I really see this fight as dead even. I think the Vegas odds will show the same. I think both of them will be standing at the end of the night. Majority Decision for Floyd.

    That's my honest opinion.
    If they were to fight & I had to pick a winner I would say Floyd would win due to him being a bit bigger imo & also the superior technician. I could also see Pac winning due to Floyd looking flat-footed recently and Pacquiao's speed, power & work-rate. Tough fight to call. I agree about Floyd being at his absolute best but I also think Pacquiao would be so they kind of cancel each other out.

    I'm comparing Floyd in the Manny fight to the Hatton fight, not Hatton to Manny chill

    When Floyd is training he gives 100%
    When he's fighting, he doesn't need to.

    Train hard, fight easy.

    The source is very reliable, but boxers (promoters) change their mind more than their underwear.

    (Obviously) They want the build-up to be of epic proportions. 8 to 9 figure paydays.

    It's not some magic, nor a mysterious spark within.

    Floyd has the most awkward defense in boxing, yet its the most effective. (It's unique, much like Vitali Klitschko's defense is unique), but somehow, someway they make it work to near perfection.

    Whenever Floyd is comfortable defensively, he starts putting in offensive work, and from there he just picks you apart. Manny needs to establish himself from the first go when they fight, he needs to tag Floyd, and tag him hard in the first few rounds, and keep on the pressure, or he'll find Floyd adapts and just makes it hell for him to hit him.

    If Floyd gets comfortable, you get spanked.

    I hear you but in my opinion all great athletes have sonething within that allows them to defy the odds (MJ, Jerry Rice, Tiger, Phelps, Floyd) .... And please no PED replies

    Not sure if this would happen but I think it's quite likely. Interesting.

    Don't get why this post gets so much ****. Oh, I forgot it's ESB... The land of internet warriors.
