    1. Pac gives floyd trouble early, floyd finds a way to shut down pacs offense and make him hesitate, or try to box with him and get frustrated in spurts...

    2. Floyd finding his rythm early on in the fight and frustrating pac earlier and have him throwing off balance and getting tagged a whole lot.


    We have all seen Mayweather struggle in fights and adjust...weather that be in the same fight or in a rematch. He finds out what works and what doesn't and applies it..Pac does not adjust like that..when Morales fought him and he realized his gameplan would not work he continued making the same mistakes..When he fought JMM not once but TWICE..he landed at times but for the most part did the same exact thing and Marquez ate it up every time....The chance that Pac has to get to floyd early is bigger than most seeing how his workrate is so high and his angles are CRAZY.. that alone makes the fight as interesting as it is..If that doesnt happen plan on seeing a boring one sided performance with periodic beatings against the ropes by mayweather on route to a UD..maybe im wrong either way i cant wait!
    What about when Pac destroyed Morales in the rematch and demolished him in an impressive 3 rds in their 3rd match all in under a 2 year span?

      Rod, lots of respect to your boxing knowledge, specially when it comes to weight issues BUT, you speak of Pacquiao like he's your ordinary, conventional boxer, who's boxing stance and style is what you see in a gym everyday. Pacquiao's movements alone could get Floyd thinking all night, trying to figure out where Pacman will attack next, he's the only boxer that makes his opponents feel like they're surrounded. Pac's is a geometrical nightmare, he comes at weird angles (were you least expect) that you can't prepare for. There was instance when Oscar was letting his hands go while Pacquiao was actually on his left side, about to throw something at him.

      The words "tentative" and "Pacquiao" doesn't belong in the same sentence I believe. He gets tag with a Howitzer here and there, but I've never saw him backed down from a fight. He'll nod, he will raise his hands, he will knock his boxing gloves and will never stop coming at you. Floyd's previous opponents' work rate couldn't even come close to Pacquiao's work rate. His starts and finishes have the same ferocity, and he will never stop at nothing to get a
      KO, and he will be the best finisher Floyd will ever face.

      ... and don't be surprise if you might see a lot of these come March 13:

        Fair answer mate and I respect Manny greatly , I think they are both greats just that Floyds style is a winner in these great match ups , but having said that I wont be at all surprised if it came out as you describe because I know Manny is a great also , I havent got a bad word to say about either of these two and cant wait for this fight , boxing is very healthy

          I see May trying to play his mind games on Pac, and will engage more than we expect him to, to try to make Pacman and his corner, primarily Freddie Roach, to second guess his every move, throw their game plan off by doing the unexpected. I also feel Floyd CAN'T afford to give away early rounds and expect to catch up easy in the later rounds like some of his previous fights because Pacquiao and his work rate doesn't have a stop button, and his power at the later stages of his fights doesn't seem to lose its luster. His gas tank is bottomless and self refilling.

          One thing I'm sure though, we're in for a treat next year!

                    it is POP shotting......lol.. RING GENERALSHIP has nothing to do with the punches you throw......
