    After watching the first rd of the Hatton fight again..Thats part of Floyds great defence, to tie up the opponent when in any danger... I just think Pac will do a Duran and have Floyd in fits, cannot see Floyd being able to do that to Pac

    The only way i can see Mayweather winning is by holding and elbowing .

    What is pac going to do about it..lol. Does he have some never seen before in-fighting tricks or will he just hold his gloves up in a defensive position and try to push out of the clinch to make room for his shots like everybody else.... meanwhile getting hit in the ribs. The truth is nothing he can do about it b/c he never had to deal with that kind of fight. Pac does need some room to open up his cans of whoop ass. On top of that Hatton clinched him and its not like Pac just bouced him off of his chest like superman. He waited for the ref to break it up.

    pac's approach would be different. it would be a calculated one knowing floyd likes to counter and lure opponents. pac may initiate the fight and if successful will continue doing so. if not, he would be in trouble. floyd's reach would be a problem. as for tying pac up, pac doesn't like too close fighting either. he would want this fight just in medium range and take some of floyds punches just to unload his own and disrupt floyds rhythm.

    floyd is good on the inside and uses his hands and elbows to gain some advantage and would not be surprised if he would tie pac up specially now that he seemed bigger in his last fight compared to previous fights. but pac is also deceptively strong for a little guy. look at him pushing hatton in clinch and even getting the best of cotto in some close exchanges.

    This is where roach could play a big part in things. He'll notice alot of thing may does and build a gameplan off it.

    Pacquiao also has to show he can adjust more too. Hes not like hatton whobarely even looks like hes thinking in there...but he cant look to do the same things over and over.

    I think I'll agree with thoise that call it the great science.

    If you look through all of Mayweathers fights he displays many styles.

    great counterpunching in the Corrales fight, to brawling against Corley, offensive masterclass against Gatti, defensive and cagey against Oscar to almost perfect display of boxing against JMM.

    The guy has it all and that is why he is Pac's toughest fight by far. Adaptability will be Key

    The left hand and the new right hook is all he needs baby. The right hook to smash Mayweathers wide open jaw like it did Hatton and Cotto and the left hand coming straight down the pipe right through the leaky defense and no head movement. Or will Pac miss those punches and be off balance like in the Marquez fight and get countered himself.... :lol:

    Hatton's an infighter, Floyd had to slip him and "tie him up" to get Hatton's pressure off of him. Two very different styles if your gonna compare this to Pac dude

    let's not Compare Pac to Hatton. He's better in every sense.

    The only way he can win is to engage.BUT can he win that kinda fight? NO!!!!!
