Manny Pac has never faced the African American style of boxing...

[jrosales13]

If I had money on Pac for his potential upcoming fight with Floyd, I'd be a lil worried. My first time ever seeing Manny Pac was when he fought Agapito Sanchez. I've followed him since that time...

My first time seeing Floyd Mayweather was back in 2007, on ESPN, against Tony Pep. I've followed him since that time...

While Manny Pacquiao's resume is more impressive than Floyd's resume, it's Floyd that has fought the more diverse styles.

I don't see one slick boxer on Manny's record. The closest would probably be Barrera, but Barrera was never known for his slickness.

I've never seen Manny in with a Stevie Johnston, Joel Casamayor or Mayweather type.

This wouldn't be a problem if Manny was fighting Joel Casamayor in his next fight. Unfortunately for him, his first taste of the pure African American style of boxing will be against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (arguably the best of his era).

I would feel more comfy picking Pacman if I could at least gauge him against even a Cory Spinks type.

Roach and Pac have their hands full with this next assignment. I personally think Floyd will shut Pac's offense completely down and win a UD on the scorecards.

Remember, DEFENSE wins championships!!

I never saw Floyd in there with Casamayor or Johnston either. Even though they were in the same weightclass. Whats up with that?

Those are mere cannon fodder for Pac. LOL @ Augustus.

Augustus actually gave Floyd Mayweather his hardest fight to date. I was there at the COBO center to see it first hand.

Definition of African American style fighters:

Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather, Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray, Paul Spadafora, Roy Jones, etc...

Of course not all African Americans fight in the traditional "African American style" just like not all Mexicans fight in the traditional "Mexican style".

The African American style of boxing is not reserved just for African Americans. It's a style defined by speed and a "hit and not be hit" state of mind.

What about Willie Pep did he has an "African American" style? He came before Whitaker, Mayweahter, Ali, Spadafora, and Jones... Maybe instead of African American style it should be called the Willie Pep style?

Ok, maybe I need to type in CAPS so that you can understand. I DID NOT INFER THAT ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS FIGHT THE SAME WAY. I EVEN POINTED OUT THAT TWO NON-AFRICAN AMERICANS, PAULIE MALINAGGI AND PAUL SPADAFORA, USE THE AFRICAN AMERICAN STYLE OF BOXING.

AGAIN, NOT ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS USE THE AA STYLE OF BEING SLICK AND EVASIVE IN THE RING. EXAMPLES: TIM BRADLEY, SHANE MOSLEY, YUSEF MACK, ANTWON ECHOLS, PAUL WILLIAMS, LOVEMORE N'DOU, ETC....

You mean a style like these African-Americans?

Castillo 1 was his hardest fight to date. August 2nd hardest.

AA american fighters u mean the ones who run and hold alot?? pac is going to KO mayweather, one hitter quitter on the chin..

[PAKYO]

If there ever was/is african-american style of boxing then we can safley conclude Pac's style of boxing is Jet li mixed with Bruce Lee with a touch of Jacky Chan!!

No wonder i'm so confident Pac's gonna butcher floyd in the ring. Last fight i saw Bruce Lee was when he beat the crap out of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, an african-american.

ENTER THE DRAGON!!!!

Yup.... that was a brawl. Burton actually bloodied his nose. Still the idea of Burton being a slick fighter eludes me. He's got some slick dance moves though.
