    i'll be honest, not hating here, what I saw in that fight makes me feel even more confident of a Pac victory over Floyd.

    I don't get what you think you proved with the above.

    So if Pac beats JMM it will be meaningless cause 'JMM is 38 years old..dont give a **** who he beat 2,3 weight divisions LOWER..'? Because Pac is also a Welterweight righ now, and he'll be fighting a 38 year old career featherweight...that had 0 fights at 140, 0 fights at 147 ...Big ****ing deal here as well then?

    Also, I was pointing out that people were praising Pac for the DLH win, but Floyd shouldn't get ANY credit for beating a younger, better version of DLH?

    Honestly, it didn't look like easy work to me. It looked like both fighters were taking punishment.

    We've never seen Mayweather in that sort of situation before. He really had to call upon a different level of conditioning to deal with Ortiz.

    I think the finish illustrates this point.

    actually Floyd was unranked p4p. And after the fight he was #2.

    Let me guess: You're referring to the times Ortiz had Floyd on the ropes and was banging. You think that Pac will be way more precise, consistent, and relentless vs Floyd, and the he will continue to do that for 12 rounds without gassing, without giving Floyd time to think and fight back effectively. Pac won't be missing as much as Ortiz did, and Pac's punches pack more power than Ortiz'. Floyd won't have the chance to back Pac up and pick his spots and score with one shot at a time, and the few times he will do it, he will get tons of punches in response.

    Yes?

    Let's see how pacquiao does against a faded inferior counter puncher in JMM first. He won't be throwing a huge amount of punches against either JMM or FMJ. Mayweather also appears to have genuine ww power now so being reckless is a bad idea.

    Roach also told that Pacquiao will beat Floyd.

    Floyd didn't impress me that much to be honest, he looked uncomfortable albeit winning every round (of which at least 2 were close rounds). Im certain after Sat night Pac would make him his *****.

    Floyd was having a hard time with Ortiz, a lot harder than he had with JMM and Mosley. When was the last time you saw Floyd get hit with 5 punches in a combo?

    I've never seen it.

    It's too bad that Ortiz was to dumb to figure out that Floyd has no scruples and will cold **** you if he gets a chance. A life lesson there for sure.

    Floyd is a gym rat and is one of the hardest training fighters in boxing. Hard work, dedication. It's his mantra while training and is evident in the ring. Plus, confidence is a virtue and like Mayweather said, as long he believes in himself and his craft, he doesn't give a **** what anyone thinks.

    :rofl Please show me where Floyd got hit with a 5 punch Combo?


    Oscar hit Floyd with more punches against the ropes then Ortiz did.


    You're overreacting to floyd being on the ropes. Thats what he does.
