    Floyd has proved time and again that he adapts well to fights, especially in the Mosley bout, so his style is an advantage over pretty much anyone he fights... aswell as the mind games he implies.

    Smart mofo.

    Pac will have to use his blinding speed, combination's, and relentless pressure to deter Floyd from being comfortable... and that is the key to beating the Pretty Boy, get him uncomfortable.

      Not really.

      LOL.

      But Pacquiao throws so many punches he's bound to land something on Floyd.

      I still don't think it'd be a huge blowout for either man.

        Don't get me wrong, I'm a pac-fan but please take a good look on both fighters' speed and accurary, when you've done so come back and tell me who's the better fighter.

          Pac throws 200 punches and only SOME of them land...he's not as accurate as Mayweather.

              Floyd can do everything JMM can do, only better. More reach, more power, more speed, more smarts, more defence, more strength, more stamina, more footwork and more technical ability. Mosley has a granite chin, and Floyd was hurting him.

              JMM took Pac took hell twice, arguably winning one or bother of the fights. Pac has a chance against Floyd because any fighter with speed and some power has a chance to land a good shot and end it. But really the odds are heavily in favour of Floyd.

              Floyd took some hard shots from Mosley and Mosley is a much bigger and more powerful man than Pac. Floyd has a good chin and recovers well because of his smarts and defence.

              Pac would have to win early, or he gets frustrated by Floyd's defence, counters and smarts. Pac gets worked worse each round until the end. Floyd has a enough power to hurt Mosley, which means he has enough power to put the fear of getting countered into the mind of anyone he fights. You wonder why guys get nervous about throwing punches against Floyd and it's because of the power. It comes quick and it hurts, so they hang back. You have to have the heart of a lion to charge through, like Hatton tried to do, but look what happened to him.

                manny would have to take floyd out early. cause if not i think it would look like mayweather/judah. floyds ability to adapt will be too much.

                  Or get caught mid combo. People always have lower output than normal against Floyd.

                      I never said he was more accurate.

                      Obviously he's not.

                      He doesn't have to be as accurate, he just has to throw a ****load of punches and try to outwork Mayweather. He's obviously gonna eat rights, but he needs to keep coming and keep throwing. If he does that the scorecards could be close. Looking for a knockout against Floyd is not a good idea.
