After watching both guys win there last bouts very impressively and its now looking like this fights gonna happen just wondering which fighter will be favorite in the eyes of the general public
My head says Floyd by UD, my heart says Pac by KO. One thing's for sure, if Floyd couldn't muster the aggressiveness to KO Marquez when Marquez was so obviously at a disadvantage in the fight, there's no way Floyd KO's Pac especially after seeing how may bombs Cotto was able to land on Pac that didn't really slow the Pac monster at all. And honestly, whatevevr happens in that fight, Pac will always be greater than Floyd IMO. Floyd may be better H2H, but Pac's achievements would **** on Floyd's unless Floyd starts really steps up the competition in all his remaining fights. I don't care how much more of PPV buys Floyd has made or who's the bigger draw or who has the undefeated record, Pacquiao is better for the sport of boxing than Floyd has been.
Pac by KO/TKO. Think of it this way, Pacquaio isn't Marquez. He isn't slow, he can match Floyd speed for speed. Floyd also doesn't fight southpaws the same way he fights orthodox fighters. You can't use a lead left hook on a southpaw, which is Floyd's best weapon. He has to rely on a straight right hand, jabs, etc. Basically he'll have to fight a more "regular" type of fight in order to get to Pacquaio, like the way he fought Judah. Does anyone honestly think Floyd's gonna beat Pac by fighting him the way he fought Judah? He'll get KO'd without question. If he runs and potshots, maybe he can pull a UD, but with the right gameplan and discipline Pacquaio can neutralize that. He's got the physical tools and the style to get the job done. another thing.. Floyds never fought anyone like PAquaio. Pac will take him to places he's never been before. Floyd for the first time will have to show his character. He's been in some fights before, but never a real tough, dig-deep-down type of fight. Pacqauio is a guy who is willing to die in the ring. He will force Floyd to fight and show some things he's never had to before.
Will be pulling for pac, but it takes 2 to tangle and Floyd simply will not take any risks to make this a great fight. A world class slickster will always tame a brawler ex. Whitaker vs. Chavez.
Pretty Boy is still the odds on favourite with the bookies to beat Pacman, even after the Pac v Cotto fight.
judah did not press forward. so no floyd would not fight pac the same way. pac would press forward and get countered and set up with jabs by a boxer who knows how to time another fighter(cotto didnt). who doesnt have to reset(cotto didnt) and has all the athleticism(cotto doesnt) as him and much better boxing ability and footwork(cotto doesnt)
i just thik pbf will box him for 12 rounds and gets a unanimous decision and remember u dont hit floyd flush because of his unique defence and brillant shoulder roll, plus quickest hands in the game
