I invite you to watch three fights. Floyd Vs Emanuel Augustus Floyd Vs Jesus Chavez (the second one) Floy Vs Zab Judah Against Emanuel, punch resistance was upsetting Floyd. Floyd severely hurt his right hand and was a one handed fighter by the time he closed out that fight. In the Chavez fight, swarming smothering style got Floyd a bit out of his comfort zone. Chavez didn't want to let Floyd breathe. Consequently, Letterman gave about half that fight to Chavez. Floyd said in the post interview that Chavez punched alot, but not that hard. Which brings us to Zab Judah... a strong, fast southpaw that gave Floyd fits early in their fight, and even arguably scored a kd. Pac has qualities of all those guys, except he has two things Floyd has NEVER faced. His level of footwork and footspeed, and someone with legendary conditioning of Pac. |

I think this will be the toughest part of the fight for manny. when cotto hopped on his bike and pop shoted, manny got pissed and was getin tagged all over. If floyd uses this strategy it could be a blow out. either way im going to bet on the underdog in this fight.

To quote Lampley or Steward "When Floyd fights like that (pot shotting)...its not a fair fight and hes immpossible to beat" Steward or Lampley said that. Theyre right. |

Punch resistance can still upset Floyd... you can't grow out of that. he can easily hurt his hands on Pac's dome... His hands are notoriously fragile. And he cannot beat Pac one handed like he has other fighters. A swarming, smothering style can still trouble Floyd. Castillo was all about smothering, if not swarming, and he had pretty good success in their first fight.. The southpaw angle may be what Floyd is MOST prepared for. He's trying to get Zab as a sparring partner and etc, but it will still be a factor on some level. Because the shoulder roll doesn't do particularly well against left hand dominant fighters. My point is if you add all that stuff together, you get Pac. And then, Floyd has never faced anyone with pac's footwork, and footspeed...or conditioning. No question |
