    well?

    floyd wont be as strong as pacquiao, he'll be bigger but slower, and if pac starts to feel he's losing you best believe he's gonna flurry and mayweather is gonna take a trouncin
    also people forget alot about the trainers, roach is a damn good coach, and he will have manny prepared for anything flody has to offer
    man i love boxin

    Floyd will have him missing a hell of a lot more then any previous fighter Pacs fought
    And not just that but his deadly ***ing accurate is Floyd..
    Could tag Manny all night long...

    Plus side for Manny is what we have already seen at the weekend
    Dude is unreal....

      You can't really shoulder-roll effectively against a southpaw. Expect Floyd to use a high-Winky-guard against Pacquiao.

        it's gonna be hard for him to use his counter right also

          the shoulder roll works best against straight punches

            but against faster fighters its best to use a mix of the shoulder roll and a high and tight defense... look at the Zab Judah fight, Floyd used a high and tight guard for the most part so expect him to mix that in there against Pac

              I somewhat disagree. Manny still can get hit, he's no Pernell or Winky.

                Floyd is an easier matchup for Pac than Cotto was.

                Cotto is a left hander that fights orthodox which is a nightmare for a Southpaw, Floyd rely's on reflexes and fighting at his pace and bluntly Pac is to fast to rely on reflexes and will dictate the pace.

                  Floyd hasn't used the shoulder roll a lot in his most recent fight...

                  Good money says he'll use the high tight guard...he used it at times against Marquez...

                  He didn't really shoulder roll against Hatton either...

                  And if Floyd stays off the ropes he won't need to use it...

                    Funny. Anyway, Floyd wont engage Pac like Cotto did, Pac will miss his punches all night and get frustrated. Floyd will win no doubt and Im taking out a second mortgage to bet on this one.
