Give some good reasons why Floyd shouldn't fight Pacquaio, based on what you think. Once this thread is done, I'll create one for vice-versa, that is why Pac shouldn't fight Floyd.
My observation is Floyds Philly Shell. The Philly Shell style is not as effective against southpaws, Floyd does make up for it being an exceptional talent. However, I noticed Floyd was susceptible to the left hook when he faught Mosley, and Mosley exploited it, but not enough.
I can only see them coming all day long from Pacquaio.
Again, WHO has Floyd fought that has been able to throw 1300 punches in a Welterweight fight?
It's not a matter of anyone being able to throw 1300 punches... the point is boxers work rate is always cut when they fight Floyd... In the case of Pac, between 300 - 500 will probably be the case if Pac can go the distance...
true..thats cause cotto tried to get all el macho with his chin in the air..he fought with emotion and not intelligance
1st kd, pacquiao caught cotto with quick shots and knocked him down. But yep, that 2nd KD cotto tried to go a little too hard. But that's what boxing is about right? Exploiting your opponents weaknesses/mistakes. Just like floyd lays back and counters his opponents. Manny waits for opponents to try and fight him so that he can find holes and catch them in weird angles. That's where manny may have a problem. If floyd doesn't attack, how will manny find away to check floyds chin? I do think people underrate mannys boxing, but floyd is that good and so is manny. IMO.

Cotto's chin is always in the air, but as for the topic of discussion; I think all roads at ww head towards Pac & May. I don't see either one of them making a bigger fight at ww against anyone else other then each other.
Pac needs May
May needs Pac
Boxing needs to see who in fact is the best fighter in the world right now.

Doesnt everyone who fights Pac fight with emotion?? Interesting point, they say Floyd frustrated opponets...maybe Pac does the same thing to a fighter. Maybe he brings out something in his oppenents. Maybe he will bring that out of Floyd, No one really knows.
thank you..i dont think he can comprehend that at all..you can throw 1300 punches at a punching bag..now try to throw 1300 at the double end bag...lol big differance
he also knocked Cottos block right off...and they were ONE punch knockdowns homie.
no 1 can throw 1300 punches against a fighter using angles and clinching man..theres a reason manny was able to throw that many punches against clottey...he just stood there..just like williams was able to get off against winky..cause he just stood there...common sense man..
Who else has thrown 1300 punches in a Welterweight fight against a "standstill" Clottey??? Your missing the point im not arguing in favor of Pac, Im simply stating Floyd hasnt faced an opponent with the offensive prowess of Pacquiao, likewise Pac hasnt faced an opponent with the defensive mastery of Mayweather.
manny wont be able to throw 1300 punches against floyd..clottey just stood there with his hands up..no angles no nothing..floyd creates space and angles and clinches when its causes for..manny will be lucky to get off 400 punches..floyd like hopkins are masters at cutting down workrate

yo!
I can see Floyed giving Pac too many defensive looks in order to take his offense away from him, ass soo and floyed picks that lock.
its bedtime, Pac reletlessness will be his, undoing mark my words!
This is what everyone is saying....give us a FACTUAL actual CONCRETE reason why his offense will be his undoing. we all know Floyd a a defensive wizard but how many fighters has Floyd faced that have thrown 1300 punches in a Welterweight fight? Let alone against a defensive fighter, now let me tell you a lot of those didnt land BUT they kept Clottey at bay...they kept him occupied. And I think that was the intention. Why woulf Floyd take a fight against a BIG DEFENSIVE IRON CHINNED fighter right before the Floyd fight? WHY? Why would he use his offense as his defense against Clottey? And why would Floyd take on a BIG OFFENSIVE IRON CHINNED figher right before his fight with Manny?
Pacs punches are odd, they come from wierd angles with odd timing. Now dont take my word for it, how many fighters have said this about Pacquiao. Probably about as many as Floyds had say his defense was their undoing.
There is really no way anyone can say this is an easy fight for either fighter. Both fighters are obviously nervous about facing each other...Its clear as day.

Hi guys,
I noticed Floyd can sometimes get caught with right hands (mosley a good example) as he tends to keep his right hand high but his left hand low to his chest, a well placed right hook could spell trouble for Floyd and Pacmans is getting better and better.
I know that Floyd sometimes fights with a high guard against southpaws which is why I think he will do this against pac in order to stop the right hooks landing flush. I also think Floyd will press the fight and people will be surprised to see Floyd coming forward against Pac.
