Would be a weird echo of Leonard-Hearns I if Pac boxes with movement and clean shots and Floyd has to dig deep and go for punishing shots and get a late stoppage, but probably won't happen. Floyd isn't leonard, and Pac isn't tall.
Agreed. Unfortunately. That's why I'm really hoping Roach can get some more discipline into him before the fight.
Pac can't fight like that. That's not his style. Basically you're saying outbox the boxer.:rofl Lastly he doesn't have better footwork he has faster feet yes but he doesn't have better footwork.
Absolutely. Mayweather is definitely more comfortable having his opponents come to him. In fact this is the reason I always thought Khan would give Floyd more problems that Pac would. Defensive movement, combined with range, speed, and a good jab: that would trouble Floyd. Now Pac doesn't have these attributes (namely range and a good jab) but this tactic would be better than stalking and rushing in wildly. Not against a sniper like Floyd.
Yet this coward has done things that you can only comment on! lets get one thing straight, Pac is not going to Out Box Floyd! Even if it was his deepest desire to do so, it would not happen!
Pac could employ this strategy and it could work. He has the speed, skills.. it's about the mind. For those who think Floyd has better footwork, watch Pacquiao vs Margareito, DLH and Rios... he was more cautious than usual in these 3 fights and his footwork was just insane... in/out, side/side, throwing leaning to one side, circling opponents.. it was sublime. He definitely has better footwork and foot speed than Floyd. The question is how can he use this to his advantage? remaining stationary and mainly charging Floyd is not one way to do it. He has to be elusive and make Floyd walk him down.
This by far is the worst thread I've seen. You can't out think a thinker. The moment Pac tries that, it would work into Floyd's hands
