    Wlad likes to fight with a lot of room between him and his opponent, and in his fights you can notice when he throws jabs and rights he lands them always at the end of his punch. This is where he is most comfortable and effective, so even if he were to throw a long looping left he would have to come forward a bit, and he simply isn't comfortable there.
    He was throwing a few half assed long range left hooks in there today... he can clearly throw a left hook while staying at the range he likes... I make the point again... when Wlad lands a CLEAN jab and a CLEAN right hand... and Ruslans head is hammered back... he is far from having to be worried at that exact point from throwing a left hook. Ruslan was looking at the ceiling after being hammered with those right hands...

        I think Floyd can catch Pac at times when Pac moves out he sometimes leaves himself open for a counter.

        At some points Floyd may welcome Pac coming in. Pac jumps in and jumps out...I wonder if he can fight on the inside well...I doubt he can as good as Floyd.

        It would really be important on who can control the pace and who can adapt better to the other fighter. No one at 140-147 is intelligent as Floyd in the ring.
        I'd also like to see how this 32 yr old Floyd, soon to be 33... handles the intensity and nonstop aggressiveness Pac brings.. also Pacs workrate is a lot higher than Floyds.

        Although before all that...we need to see how Pac handles a REAL welterweight punch. Welterweight power may be a problem for him, being that LAST March he was wobbled by marquez at 130lbs.

          he's an awesome heavyweight, great jab with a LETHAL right hand and awesome footwork, fast for such a big guy, but he needs to switch it up. when Chagaev got close, he lifted his arms up or pushed off throwing the jab. why cant u throw a hook or an uppercut? show him some angles WITHOUT the jab, the fight could've been much more spectacular and over much sooner.

                  That's the only thing that worries me...I hope Floyd hasn't lost too much...if Floyd can't defend Pac's assault he would have no choice but to slug with him.

                  I don't know why people think Pac is stronger than Floyd. When you factor in Floyd being larger and having better accuracy. If its accurate Pac's gonna feel it.

                    I have never seen Wlad throw an uppercut (devastating one) like Lewis use to throw, Wlad had his best performance last night in a long time for me but he could have use a different kind of punch instead of the normal left jab,jab,jab then right hand.

                      Why? because boxing is supposed to be about entertainment. How Wlad fights is not entertaining to 95% of people.
                      Why? because I presume a major part of the reason he is in boxing is to make money, and by fighting the way he does he limits his appeal, and therefiore limits his earnings.
