Why are people saying Pacquiao's style is "tailor-made" for Floyd?

    Exactly, Zab had him in kittens and he was only throwing 1-2 shots at a time. I'm not saying Floyd can't win this but it's pretty much 50/50 whoever fights their fight on the night wins and it wont really mean they are the best. I could see a trilogy.

      I still think Mayweather beats him and knocks him out late if he steps on the gas. Maybe it was just Manny getting warmed up in round one, but Cotto was pretty much beating him with the jab alone, and Cotto is far from a good jabber.

        If Pacquiao were tailor made for Floyd, he wouldn't be southpaw, he wouldn't be fast or have power, and wouldn't have an unpredictable attack from unconventional angles.

        He'd be Carlos Baldomir.

          Picture the first 4 rounds of Judah/Mayweather, times 3.

          Floyd's more dominating performance of JMM is about as relevant as Cotto's more dominating perf of 3 common opponents and Pac's of 2, to Mayweather.

            relax a bit
            did I do that?

            so, by asking a question, I need to "relax"?

            honestly, some posters are better off just reading the threads, rather than contributing.

              I always thought Mr boat buyer would handily KO Pac. Not so sure now. It's pretty much an even contest. Pac showed yesterday he can take WW punches which was my lone concern about him at WW. If he can take his counters all nite, he can beat Mr boat buyer.

                Floyd won't allow the distance to be so close that manny will be able to use those angles. Everytime Floyd even thinks Manny is coming in he'll take a step shoot that jab to the body or lead with that left hook followed by a push.
                If manny does close the distance he'll get a steady dose of Mayweathers forearm to his throat. I see pac having a couple moments but I don't see him doing enough damage to slow Mayweather down. This fight will be fought at a distance and Floyd will break out his jab like he did against Marquez. Alot of flurries from pac that will get the people excited but won't land clean. Just my opinion, tho I can see where your coming from.

                  If he can't hurt Manny, Floyd will run for 12 rounds and stink out the joint, hopefully getting booed out the arena, never to be seen again.

                  That's more like it.

                  He better pray Manny doesn't laugh at his punches like he did Cotto's.

                    He was testing Cotto's power dude. I think he even said as much himself. The idea was to test his strength, but also to allow Cotto to get his shots off and gain confidence when opening up so Manny could take advantage of his mistakes. That was smart. He gave Cotto the first round for a reason.
