How does Floyd deal with Pacman's speed & workrate?

lol yea thats wat i was thinking.

I mean, I say this based only on the Hatton fight(not elbows but clinches), but if worked so well then I could see him using that strategy again. I honestly didn't blame him for the clinching, I thought it was genius to beat ricky at his own game. The elbows were out of control though.

You say that like Floyd initiated all the clinches...Hatton likes to fight on the inside. He even said Floyd was more clever than he thought at inside fighting...

i just dont see it

Speed and workrate are not everything,Floyd has the best defense of the modern boxing, just watch Zab Judah who was almost as fast as Pacquiao, Mayweather counter-punched him and Floyd dominated him and forced Judah to use illegal tactics,like a low-blow and a rabbit punch behind the head.

Also,Pacquiao has difficulty against counter-puncher,just like Marquez,and Mayweather is faster,bigger,stronger and a lot better than him.

Footwork (proper control of range) and timing. Although how he avoids Pacman's shots while in range will also play a factor in how the fight goes (one way or the other)

And you wont ever see it if Pac keeps ducking.

Go watch Zab-Mayweather. Then you will see.

If JMM gave him hell, Floyd will do it even worse. In terms of technicality. If Floyd doesn't hurt Pacquiao with the counters, then dont expect him to go on the offensive.

Floyd DID initiate most of the clinches, before Hatton got the chance to. Thats what was so genius about it. Of course, to Hatton clinching is "good" inside fighting. Against another fighter I dont like it but against Hatton I think Floyd was more that justified. Hatton is a dirty fighter.

Poor Pretty Boy, he's in deep, deep trouble. I believe the "Super-Pac-Attack" fight plan will completely overwhelm Mayweather. I can't see him surviving the Pacman's power and mastery at this point. JAT

Let me make this simple and plain
After this fight, Floyd will never be the same
Floyd is slick and amazingly fast
But up against the Pacman, he will not last

Floyd proclaims greatness and he has some fame
But when he faces the Pacman, he'll just look too lame
When will he realize that the time has come
To be beaten by someone who isn't a bum

I bet he's thinking that he can easily win this fight
But he underestimates the greatness of Pacman's might
Floyd has no loses, he has an "O"
But that will soon disappear when he gets KO'd

Oh Roger, get your gas can ready
Be careful with those matches, be very steady
So listen peoples, let me make this perfectly clear
That the Pretty Boy's butt-whooping is almost here.
