  • Has anyone gone from thinking Floyd would win to now favouring Pac since last night?

    I did. I always had Floyd just slight favourite in my mind, 55% to the 45% chance I gave Pac.

    But the more I think about it, the more I lean towards Pac. Because at some point during their fight, Floyd is going to have to fight Manny. He won't be able to potshot for 12 rounds against a fighter who is so relentless, so explosive, who looks like he can walk through punches from big welterweights.

    Then you factor in the fact that Floyd has been so inactive, and his last tough, tough fight was maybe against Castillo (although yes, by the time he would fight Pac, he probably will have come through a tough fight with Mosley)

    I just think Floyd is going to keep real trouble keeping Manny off him.

    And this is before you even get to factors such as Manny's southpaw stance being problematic for Floyd, and that while Manny seems firmly in his prime years, Floyd is just maybe coming out of his.

      No because Mayweather is on a whole nother level then Clottey. I'm not saying I think Mayweather will be the clear winner. But Floyd will atleast throw more punches I believe.

          Flyod and his team knows it man, and the fight with Clottey, it proves Pac wont get tired doing non stop flurries for 12 rounds.
          Thats why Flyod requested his silly testing to ducked Pac, Pacman is a HUGE threat to Flyods 0.
          Flyod is scared of Pac!!

            Not exactly, but it gave me some things to think about. His bodywork looked great, and again he looked immovable even against true welterweight power and a sharp straight right.

            However he won't look nearly as impressive offensively when his punches are falling on thin air rather than his opponent's high guard - it will give Mayweather a lot more time to pick his counters than Clottey was granted too.

              Yes I am hung over and not seeing right, but I had to take a second glance at your avatar. For a split second I could have sworn it was Calzaghe as your avi, I had to scroll back up and look. I then realized it was not the end of the world with Keyzer having Calzaghe in his avatar!LOL

                Its called movement.You can`t throw alll those punches when your opponents on the move cause you only gonna hit air.


                Floyd is gonna keep circling the Juicer and hitting him, not stand stationary and shoulder roll all night to Roidquiao`s flurries.Floyd is no ******* ,he`s not ******.

                  Of course he will. Clottey was just absurdly inactive last night. But the thing is, Floyd doesn't throw combinations anymore. I know he's the most accurate puncher in the sport, but I don't think it's enough. Pac is going to walk through him. His chin and commitment to taking a punch if he is going to land his own is just amazing right now.

                  I think Floyd may even have to clinch Pac like Mosley did to Margarito to negate Manny.

                    Floyd is a different beast dont think floyd is coming into the fight against pac with the attitude that he's going to pot shot all night floyd has been undefeated for a long time because he is a special fighter he will prepare for pac because the haters and naysayers want him to lose so badly. Your going to see a different kind of fight from floyd when he goes up against pac.
