This is a serious question to those who think Pac will beat Floyd. As a fan of both fighters i can dissect the skill sets of each fighter and predict an appropriate out come. Floyd is my favorite fighter and ofcourse i will pick him to win just about any fight but bias aside i want the true Pac fans (not Pactards) to break down how Pac will go about winning a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. No nutt hugging or baselsss hating needed just strategy. How will the Fighter of the decade beat the best BOXER alive? I will preface your stategy with this:

Floyd has a 5 inch reach advantage, superior reflexes and overall better boxing skills than Pac. Floyd is able to cut off the ring and set the pace of a fight. Floyd is able to use a high guard instead of the shoulder roll or even switch stance against southpaws. Floyd has the best defense of of any fighter alive. Floyd has the best hit to get hit ratio of any fighter EVER. Floyd is the most accurate and adaptable boxer alive. Floyd can press forward or fight off his back foot. Lastly Floyd has superb ring generalship and excellent counterpunching ability. Can Pac win?...Maybe..but HOW..
Only way is if Floyd shows up with a couple of in-grown toe nails.
I'm guessing Freddie's plan is:
1. Have Manny dart in and out with flurries and immediately tie Floyd up.
2. Have Manny Multi-punch Floyd within seconds of the ref's break-up.
3. Have Manny concentrate on racking up points rather than going for the KO.
this is a good post and a very good question, there is no formula to beat Floyd, some say a "Good Consistent Jab" but unfortunately not many fighters today have a consistent jab, some say body shots, all of these theories have failed
some people hold on to Zab having some type of success in early rounds against Floyd and they came up with this theory that "Floyd Struggles With Southpaws" but they look past how Zab was dominate almost the entire fight
Pacman's best chance would be a early KO and him possibly catching Floyd with a big punch before Floyd figures him out because come the 4th-5th round once Floyd Figure you out then it is usually a Boxing Clinic after that
Manny will be playing Checkers and Mayweather will be play Chess, a reach advantage is very though to get around especially with the fighter is very elusive and has good footwork, you can get around a flat footed fighters reach fairly easy when he is just standing right in front you and has no lateral movement or footwork
i didnt say that..hes said mayweather doesnt have anything mannys never seen before..thats bullshit..niether has seen what the other will bring before..hense them being the 2 best fighters in the world
agreed may the best man win.....(pac)........
lol..so mannys been fighting slick counter punchers his entire career??
yea cause mayweather has been fighting insane southpaws his whole vareer........
LOL....where not here to talk about why Floyd can beat Pac. We are just here to talk about how Pac can beat Floyd.
did it cross your mind that most people think he cant....but they want to see the fight because it will be exciting to see him try?
overwhelm Floyd from the get go...been Floyds Constant issue, it happened with Judah with Shane and to some extent even with Hatton. Hatton almost dropped him with a jab in the first round i believe. Pac can overwhelm Floyd better than all 3 of these fighters. This is what Pac was known for before moving up in weight...his mad ability to Blitz his opponents. I believe Pac can end this fight early, but Floyd could make it a long night and box beautifully. It will be interesting to see what just happens on fight night. May the best man win...:boxing:
I think he would give Floyd trouble because he's a southpaw just like Zab but the question is does he hit harder than Shane? I don't think he does and although Pac will catch him early on, I think Floyd will take over around the 4th and maybe stop him late or fall back and get the UD.
people scream bout workrate..but you'renot gonna have a high output against floyd..he'll nuetralize mannys workrate with movement and clinching..manny wont outbox floyd(anyone who thinks that is just retarded) his only hope is a ko..and that aint gonna happen mannys arms are to short and floyds defense and chin is top notch...the more i think about this fight the more i see it being a onesided embarrasing beating...but hey it makes alot of money
LOL....where not here to talk about why Floyd can beat Pac. We are just here to talk about how Pac can beat Floyd.
He can only win via miracle KO IMO.
His work rate will be neutralized, and stylistically just about everything he does works to Mayweather's advantage as opposed to the other way around.
It almost might be worth just going in there throwing bombs early and hope something lands
I can't seem to find a way that Pac can beat Floyd. Like some said, just go crazy and hope to catch Floyd with something but most importantly don't get countered while you go crazy lol.
First Pac is not a righty, he's a sotuhpaw. PAC money punch is the straight left. PAC is now a two handed fighter, his right hook will catch Floyd from time to time. The most important thing will be his work rate, unless Floyd come to fight, I see Floyd being on the defensive most of the fight.
