      Pac should chase him first and when it turned to be very obvious that floyd don't want to engage, then pac should do that... I can't imagine it myself.. LOL.

        Actually, Ray Arcel:

        Arcel was more than a taskmaster, though. He had a genius for devising the right battle plan for his fighters. For instance, when Alfonso Frazer was to fight an Argentine, Nicolino Loche, for the junior welterweight title in Panama in 1972, Arcel had no idea of what strategy would work because he had never seen Loche fight.

        So Arcel dressed up like a local -- in dark glasses, army shoes, a work shirt and a Panama hat -- and attended a public workout of Loche's.

        "Loche would feint you and keep backing up until he got near the ropes," Arcel told Dave Anderson in the book "In The Corner."

        "Then he had an uncanny ability to twist you into the ropes. He'd take you by surprise. By the time you realized where you were, he'd **** the hell out of you.

        "That night I talked to Frazer. I said: 'The minute he starts backing up like that, don't follow him. Just stand there and look at him.' The night of the fight, the place is mobbed. When the fight began, sure enough Loche started to back up, but Frazer just stood there and waved his glove. When he did that, those 20,000 lunatics let loose. You never heard screaming and hollering like that in all your life. Frazer won the fight right then and there. The other guy couldn't fight anymore."

        Frazer beat Loche by a decision.

            if he does that then pac is finished, floyd has freakishly long arms. Pac has to get close to floyd to touch in and that aint happening. I see floyd easly winning this fight

              My take? My opinion don't mean diddly squat here, you still want it?

              Both boxers has to fight a perfect fight to win this, and I don't know how will this play out, but here's how Pacquiao will take this, since that's what you ask of me.

              Floyd can't just play possum in a corner and hopes his shoulder roll will deflect Pacman's incoming bombs because his shoulder roll will not work on a southpaw. It was designed to work against orthodox opponents. Pacman, as always, will come in weird angles while going in and out, swaying from side to side, will go forward or reverse at a flick of a finger to try to confuse May.

              Floyd's offense as of late, has been minimal against a live body that can inflict serious damage to his cause. Defense will not win this one, offense will, because this fight of this great magnitude, the judges tends to lean more on the offensive fighter, the one who presses the action, especially on questionable rounds.

              At some point in time, Floyd, and if he and his corner believes that he's trailing on the official scorecards, and the crowd will play a big part in clouding their minds on where they stand in whatever round this fight is on (because the "ooohs and ahhhs" will definitely because of Pac's workrate), he has to come to Pacquiao. Floyd going forward, which is not his strength, will be his downfall. A desperate boxer tends to commit mistakes and Pacman is the worst opponent to commit even a muniscule mistake...

              I want to give Floyd's side but I'm a bit sleepy now...

                      Do you think that Pacman is really that intelligent that he's planning ahead and will try to incorporate the rope-a-dope just to lure Floyd to a fight? Imagine this, "Ding-ding!" 1st round, Pacman makes the sign of the Cross and heads straight into the ropes, hits his head with both gloves as if taunting Mayweather to come in and do his worst, wouldn't it look hilarious? And just in case Floyd decides to ride on his bike after he gets clocked good by Pacman, Manny just stands in the middle of the ring with arms crossed waiting for Mayweather's next dance step, how would the audience react? If that scenario happens, I'll be ROTFLMAO!!!
                      Seriously -- that's a good idea. Pacquiao should go in there and just have fun. No way can Floyd hurt him, he simply doesn't have the punching power, he ain't gonna hit as hard as Miguel Cotto. So why not go in there and just take the piss? (as they say in the UK).

                      I would love to see him do what you said.

                      Floyd will expect him to come right at him. If the opposite happened, Floyd is gonna look pretty ******. It would totally **** up his game plan. Unless Pacquiao attacks, there is no fight.

                      Gopi, write to Freddie Roach and suggest it.
