I do not think Zab is really like Pacman but he can certainly bring aspects of his game into the gym. On the Flip side I do not know who can imitate Floyd at all? Floyd Sr. LOL? Mosley maybe but is he going to help Pacman out like that, since he basically said he would not fight him at 147.

    As far as right handed fighters I can not think of anyone as crafty as Floyd, usually you hear the term crafty lefty but Floyd is the very rare crafty righty (which IMO is the worst possible matchup for an offensive minded lefty).
    Nice post man. It's what I think too. It amazes me that after the hatton-pac fight, ESPN had a poll of Mayweather vs Pacquiao. The results were around 30-40% Floyd winning and Pacquiao 60-70%. I was shocked.

          As a gambler this is what I wanted to have happean. I am going to laugh when I get odds to bet on Floyd for this fight (just watch Manny will be the betting favorite), it will be great~.

                i cant wait for floyd to fight marquez, he will find out what kind of level these two fighters are at right now.

                these are his first real fights since castillo. lets see how he does. i doubt it will be as easy as his fans make out.

                  This would definitely be a tough fight for Pacquiao. Not only does Mayweather have the style to bother Pacquiao and arguably a better skill set than Marquez, but he also has some physical advantages too. He can't be much slower than Pacquiao and doesn't he also have almost a 5 inch reach advantage over Pacquiao?

                    That is right, Chop Chop who is not a big puncher had Floyd hurt twice. Chop Chop got tired, Manny will not tire out like Chop Chop did.
