    Would Floyd be forced to throw more against Pacquiao?

    It would be nice to see the Floyd of old should this fight be made.

    I can't imagine him just sitting back comfortably countering Pac.

    I think he's gonna have to throw more punches. You know he can put some great combos together, but in most of his fights he doesn't need to.

    Thoughts....

      I am interested in seeing how Pacquiao will deal with the jab to the body. Also mayweather will clinch him. However, Pacquiao can win on volume, and he is very fast so he will tag mayweather and often.

        I really wanna see Floyd throw some combos like he did back in the day, that is when he gave a **** about being entertaining.

            He should increase his output by 4-6 more punches per round. I still believe he wil dictate the pace by staying at a distance and clinching. Hard to respond to Mayweather's lead straight right hand because he can clinch whether he lands it or not.

              Forced to throw more farts?

              Lol jk.


              Who knows what will happen, all i know is that Floyd has to fight smart like always. But let's not forget his fights against Corley and Judah he was forced to fight and look how those fights ended up, Corley and Judah got their 15 seconds of fame en route to a 12 round whooping in the hands of Floyd.

                If Floyds' countering is on point, he should be able to knock Pac down at least twice with that left hook

                  I think he worries more about getting hurt now. If this fight happens I think Floyd will play it safe, take no chances and win a close UD.

                    True Jesus...

                    But Pac is no Judah and Corely.

                    I mean they weren't bad fighters, but Pac is a totally different story.

                    I can't wait to see this fight.
