    Pacquiao was also an underdog against DelaHoya, Morales, Barrera, Ledwaba and many more I think...

    So PAC being underdog to Floyd is just a normal boxing thing... Nothing surprising about it...

    Actually, I've seen many Pac fans say, "Pac is my boy, but, I don't know if he can beat Floyd." See me, I study boxing like a science, and I see LITTLE things that make me know Pac will win. Call me a loser with no life, but I watched parts the PBF-SSM fight about 10 times, and trust me, I saw little instances that would have been MUCH different had that been Pac in there.

    No problem. As a Floyd Fan I have to know who all the Pac Fans are:lol:


    Nevertheless I am first a boxing fan and also a Pacman Fan.

    It does not hurt that the 3 best players of this generation played for him. Like it takes a genius to figure out that a sick MJ is better than a healthy Pippin. Or that every shot that matters should go to MJ or Kobe. Or that Hack a Shaq is the only way to stop Shaq in the paint.
    I am not saying that PJ is a bad coach. No - he IS a great coach. It is just obvious why he never wins CotY.


    On topic -

    Style makes fight. And P4P ranking is based mostly based on accomplishments and much less on H2H.

    lmfao...floyd has good timing so fuk the speed...floyd is a master at not letting opponents get angles ..plus floyds footwork is much better than pacs and he'll control the ring generalship and tempo of fight...workrate will be used against manny....manny is no different..he'll get caught coming in off balance throwing too many punches..power is what manny pac does have..but he not as powerful as a shane mosley and floyd got a good chin...as for the southpaw..floyd has fought 3 southpaws i believe and is something like 22-6 in terms of rounds...2 12 round fights and 1 4 round fight...

    nice try though:hi::good

    And his supposed size disadvantage is more perception rather than reality.

    Do you agree that all fighters Plan for their opponents. For example, Manny definitely won't do some of the things with Floyd that he did with 'Punching Bag' Clottey.

    Therefore Floyd should know what he can and can't get away with.

    A good rule of thumb is what roach said: He looks for things that they do ALL THE TIME in every fight because all fighters will make different errors from fight to fight.

    Because Pacquiao can still fight at JrWW while Floyd cannot go below WW

    Also, cause styles make fights. Alot of people feel Pac's style plays right into Floyd's hands.

    You need to watch Mayweather vs De La Hoya, and ask yourself, had that been Pacquiao in there, would PBF still have won?

    Same here. I would love for pac to win and prove me wrong! I think mayweathers style is all wrong for pac.

    Of course Pacquiao fight PBF different...Freddie Roach is good trainer, and good at preparing his guys...but Floyd doesn't study other fighters, remember?

    Personally, I think the only thing Roach needs to prepare Pac for is avoiding counters. Other than that, he can just be himself, and he'll beat Floyd.

    tsk, tsk. Like I told someone else...you need to study some of Pac's recent fights, then watch PBF-ODLH, and your opinion might change.
