If Floyd beats JMM, what should his gameplan be against Manny?

I think he would come out lookin to counter Pac from the get go. Pac will win a round or two just off of output early on. If Floyd can't catch him coming in and out, he'll stalk and him and gradually break him down.

If Floyd can't break him down and start outboxing him I think he will come out of his defensive shell and put Manny on his ass.

If Floyd thinks he may be losing I think he will trade with Pac at times. Floyd took shots from DLH and bigger fighters his whole career. I don't think Pac can hurt him badly off one shot.

1) Establish a distance, Manny lunges and leans in with leads when outside of range, mayweather can pick him off as he does this. Using the left hook as Pacman comes in.

2) Stay off the ropes and keep Pacquaio turning.

3) Mayweather needs to move to his left, away from the left hand then lead in with his own counter right hand, this is the main punch against pacquiao.

4) Late on in the fight, move down to the body to bring manny's hands down a little more.

Even in tonight's fight ive seen a few things floyd should be able to implement effectively against Pacquiao.

do what JMM did but better. i think floyd can do that.

Pac leaves himself open a lot. Plenty of opportunities for Floyd to do something and Floyd usually finds a way to make his opponent fight his fight.

Manny has faster hands and better output but Floyd is better technically, has better defense, stronger, and is more versatile IMO.

This is no guarantee, I do expect Floyd to beat JMM but Marquez won't make it easy.

all of a sudden i LOVE this fight.

marquez is the ONLY fighter in recent years to give the improved pacquiao any trouble at all, and he gave him a lot of it! mayweather is obviously the former p4p #1

if marquez could deal with pacquiao's blistering 130 lbs speed and output and manage to time that **** he will give floyd some troubles. whoever wins against pacquiao will be huge! jmm vs pacquiao 3 or pacquiao vs mayweather

i'm so stoked to see pacquiao's next fight now, the guy is a monster.
