In that post fight interview once again they say they want Floyd but they refuse to take a drug test, :bottle:, then Pac says yeah I'll fight Floyd his "style" is not too hard, or something like that.
That statement clearly shows that Team Pacquiao are definitely concerned about Floyds fighting style, ability, and intangibles. I just think this is more evidence that they knew March 13 was too early to prepare Pac for Floyd and with Mayweather about to likely beat Mosley there really is no other option. No more delays, if Pac aint ready for Floyd now, then he will never be ready.

“If it’s Mayweather, we need time to get ready for that fight. We have to come out with a real different style. It’s a whole different ballgame,” - Roach.

“The Mayweather fight is the fight the world wants to see,” Roach said. “It’s going to be the biggest pay-per-view fight of all time. But I think we will fight one fight before that.”
Roach said that Pacquiao’s schedule will be constructed around his political ambitions and the elections in the Philippines on May 10. “But there is a March date for him to fight,” Roach said. “People think I am crazy but I want him to win his eighth title against Yuri Foreman at 154lb. That’s my idea — then fight Mayweather in September. And then retire.”

And Mayweather is not the one that has invited similar style fighters as Pac to camp to train with already. (Steve Forbes)

Freddie Roach: "My fight plan to beat Mayweather Jr is almost finished." (Said this week)
Clear signs they needed more time.
Perhaps, but Floyds style is cleary a major concern of Team PacWhy do u think they got Forbes as one of Pac's sparring partners? Forbes is a poor man's poor man's Floyd.
He didnt need his A game for Clottey. not a lot of head movement since he knows he got Clottey since the first round.

I would say both fighters arent ready to fight one another. If you look at the match ups It seems clear that this is a work up fight.
Clottey, good chin solid D, to me It seems team Pac wanted to see how Manny would do vs a Defensive minded fighter.
Suga Shane, speed punching power good chin. Seeing how Floyd will fair with an opponent like this.
Now Im not saying Clottey Is Mayweather He's clearly Is not.
Nore Is Shane a Manny after all he's old now, but I will still give him a chance.
Floyd needs to grow a pair. He should've been the one in there getting beat up. LOL!
I think he would of loved to had been in that ring last night, Pac wasn't really at his best in my opinion.
