    Exactly..Mosley was a frustrated and didn't know what else to do, and it was funny watching him trying to outthinking Floyd. I believe that Pacquiao can beat Floyd, but he have to do it in a way that he can quickly adjust to anything that Floyd do..

          Yea Manny needs Plan A to work like a charm because once he gets forced off of plan A the fight is not going to looks good. I think Floyd is a bad matchup for Manny, but Manny is great enough to possibly overcome that but he needs to take advantage of every oppurtunity and fight the fight of his life.

          That fight should have some real fireworks though,

            That is how i see pac will be doing against floyd, if you don't agree with it then just ignore my message.

              Versatility, that's an advantage that Floyd has..He can adapt to anything that you're trying to do, and do it himself..

                I can see this fight as one sided fight for pacquiao.
                i agree with u but only a couple rounds this can happen. like i said b4 floyds ability to adapt would be too much.

                  If Manny wins I just hope you guys stop making excuses. If Floyd wins I for sure will give props to Floyd and I won't make any excuses. Simple as that.

                  Floyd is the greatest defensive fighter today and Manny is the greatest offensive right now.

                  Both guys are great fighter. In order for us to know who is the best they should meet in the ring.

                  I just hope both side could patch up things. I don't care who gets the lions share and I don't care if they do OST or not. All I care is to see this fight happens.

                  There can never be an excuse for Pacquiao beating Mayweather..None, But if Mayweather beats Pac i can see a many excuses branded around.

                    i don't think he can do much to get pass it.

                    duck under and let an overhand left go?

                    he'll get tagged a lot but he might land it enough times to make floyd worry a little.

                    i don't see him going over it with a right hook much like he did a lot with cotto.

                    floyd stands more upright and throws the jab downwards. manny can't hook over it.


                    my biggest worry is not how he'll get inside floyd though. it'll be tough but he's fast enough that he can occassionally get inside.

                    my problem is when he gets inside. that in and out crap won't work on floyd. that just gives floyd more opportunities to catch him coming in and with his long reach coming out.

                    i'm worried how pacquiao will do staying in the inside , which is what i want him to do.

                      Roach said it himself. A counterfighter is the perfect style to beat Pacquiao. That is still true.
                      Imagine Marquez but better. Thats what it essentially is.
