agree, even if there are openings pac wont body punch to save his life,body punching simply is not a part of mannys arsenal,body punching is a technique that takes years to develop, you cant just say yeah were turning body puncher now yeah right, pac is stricyly a head hunter. also doesnt this prove once and for all that pac cherry picks fights ? in roachs own words"hes not that good were gonna ko him'' then why fight him wheres the glory this is just like pacs last 4 fights .how that makes him pnd for pnd anything i dont know i dont see the glory or greatness in mannys last 3 fights .

I think people will have a whole new opinion of floyd after finally see him fight someone his own size who is a real challenge.
He has looked pretty damn good against all 40 if you ask me......also why don't you have a look at the unofficial weights for all the opponents Floyd has fought on fight night......almost everyone of the 40 were heavier come fight night and many were taller also.
Floyd is not the type to balloon in weight btw fights.
When he was fighting at 130.....he would come into fights btw 136-138 on fight night versus guys who rehydrate to well above 140. At LW he would come in at 140 on fight night. And at jr welter he would come in at 142-43......so in reality it is always Floyd who is the smaller man come fight night. He was bigger than Hatton and JMM and thats about it.....he and Zab were about same size for their fight.
We are talking about a guy who fought at the 154 limit and didn't bother to go up....he officially weighed 148 for the Oscar fight.
Floyd fighting smaller guys is a misconception.....most guys he has faced were bigger.

It took Pac 11 rounds to finish the chinny, less than rock solid Miguel Cotto. I don't think there is much of chance he stops Clottey. Of course, Cotto WAS in survival mode and Pac was coasting for much of that fight. I don't know, it's possible but unlikely that Clottey gets stopped. I've never even seen the guy hurt and he's been in with good hitters.

KOing Clottey is too tall an order even for Pac
I just don't see how Pac can KO Clottey. The only weakness I see in the Grandmaster is his tendency to raise his head when punching. If Pac modifies his quick in and out game by staying inside sometimes and countering Clottey's counters, maybe he can catch him with straights and hooking combos when he raises his head to punch. But at best, I say Pac takes it by UD.
Then again, I'm just a fan, not a master tactician with an eagle eye like Roach.

You want a bodypunching Pac? WATCH HIS LATEST FIGHT. Pac out-body punched Cotto. Look at the stats at the end of the fight for confirmation. Yeah, he does that, too.
