    Are those two options the only options we have to choose from?

    Do you mean will he fight favoring pac's style, or will he fight favoring his own?

    That's like asking "Will Pacquiao try to pot shot Floyd from the outside or pin him against the ropes?"

    Mayweather is going to box Pacquiao. Sorry, but that option wasn't in your poll.

    Don't commit seppuku on May 3rd ok? :lol:

    Floyd is going to fight in the manner of what made him who he is today. Why change now? If Pac can't compete that's on him.

    The entire basis of this thread is predicated on a false dilemma, as if it's either stand toe-to-toe or run.

    Stupid....

    Why in the hell would Floyd try to stand and trade with Pacquiao? There is absolutely no reason for him to do that.

    Floyd is going to fight in the pocket and throw short, sharp counters, then step back and to the side to reset. Eventually he'll lure Pac into an overhand right that will have Pac second guessing himself.

    Sort of like how he fought in the lower weight classes (but less aggressive).
