    Floyd's defense wont work against Pac.

    Floyd's defense is his primary weapon, he plays the game of hitting and not getting hit and can get away with potshoting and a low workrate because he rarely gets hit.

    However this won't be the case against Pacquiao. Floyd's shoulder roll defense doesn't work against southpaws and he has been able to get away with it until now because he has yet to fight an elite southpaw.

    The question is what will Floyd do when Pac begins tagging him like Zab did, Pac wont lose his focus in 4 rounds..he will win the fight.

      Mr boat buyer is bigger and stronger than Pac. He will get hit, but not enuf for Pac to get rid of him imo. And he'll be countered comin in all the way. Eventually Mr boat buyer will likely stop him, or win a UD.

        This was in an article:

        "Mayweather could've fought Manny (in his comeback fight)," Roach said. "He just had to wait one day. I think he's scared of Manny..... We're not going to wait around. I want to keep Manny busy. A busy fighter is a good fighter. I'd like [him[ to fight in November or December.

        "If Cotto wants to come down a few pounds, we can make that happen. If Shane Mosley wants to come down a few pounds, we can make that happen."

        Either of the possible fights Roach mentioned would be hugely attractive match-ups, but it is the Mayweather fight everyone really wants to see. Freddie admitted to Ring that Mayweather's style would perhaps give Pacquiao some trouble.

        "That's a style that would give Manny some trouble," Freddie said of Mayweather's boxing style. "Manny likes when guys come to him. He used to be just aggressive but now he's a good counter-puncher. He could do both, though. Mayweather would pose problems. But if Mayweather laid on the ropes, Manny would beat the **** out of him."

        With Roach also claiming Pacquiao is now a more complete fighter than he was even as recently as the second fight with Marquez, the superb little fighter who has an entire country in his corner clearly represents Mayweather Junior with his greatest challenge.

          Floyd's chin has never been truly tested, so we have yet to see how he responds to being in an actual battle.

              You really didn't explain anything in that post...If he's laying on the ropes he can use it...and you said it like it was the only part of his defense.

                i have largely been ignored whenever i mention this, but there are 2 things pac still does that could lead to exactly what your saying now. the fact that he still charges in practically head first before a barrage, and the fact that he falls in after throwing a big right hands, if i saw this, i know damn well roger and floyd saw it as well. Mayweather will get hit, but we have seen him take good shots, we also dont know how pac will handle mayweathers lead to the body.

                  Judah would KO Pacquiao.

                  Pacquiao is easy target practice for Mayweather.

                    let's not forget he can also duck below his opponent's waist line.. I can see this troubling pac's offense which he can swing away air..
