    I said he will have to string combos together to hold Pacquiao off. Something he hasn't done since 140 at least (which he only did when he had his opponent hurt).

    Let's get this straight about Mayweathers style: He is defensive first, this is why he pot shots. He will not exchange. By throwing one punch at a time he leaves little time for his opponent to find an opening. By back pedalling (running) he makes it even more difficult. Why do I think Pacquiao has a chance? because he's a southpaw. and a great one at that. Mayweathers defense while still good, has cracks in it against southpaws.

    Can you tell me who at WW Floyd has held off with one punch? He has ran and out pointed slower and more limited fighters than himself, but hold off? Even featherweight Marquez was backing him up at times.

    Now, before you get too excited, I haven't picked a winner in this match up - so please stop accusing me based on pre conceived notions.
    It's understandable what you're saying. But what some consider running is
    merely part of his ring generalship. Lucky, it's not illegal nor is it unfair to not want to stand and trade with an opponent when it is not necessary or when it's inconvenient.

    Apparently, his style works very well for him.

      It's not about styles! Hear me out before y'all lash at me.

      You can be a jabber, an inside fighter, it doesn't matter, as long as you have the physical attributes and stick to the gameplan and have the will to win!! Then you have a legit shot at beating Mo**ey Mayweather, or any fighter.

        I think someone who can smother Floyd with a high punch out-put (much like Calzaghe's style and P. Will).

          You're right. Problem is sticking to the game plan and not having an effective backup plan when the first plan doesn't work out as planned.

          Or something to that effect.

                  A fast handed fighter with a nice jab and decent power, and knows how to cut off the ring and put effective pressure. Oh and also mentally strong
                  oh.that is really pac.maybe even more than that..

                  Prime Zab Judah with more power
                  pac is better than judah 9 out of 10..
                  judah is only better in terms of defence...


                  Prime Roy jones would beat floyd..

                  or

                  erik morales prime style at 147...
