My opinion of this fight is that it is is a mismatch. I understand Floyd was wobbled by Shane in round 2, BUT Floyd decided to fight differently and stand in front of the long, rangy Mosley.
While Pacquiao does have the tools to potentially give Floyd problems, he lacks the means by which to utilize these. Pacquiao CAN'T fight going backwards. Pacquiao CAN'T fight against right-hand dominate fighters. Floyd wins this fight easily. The ONLY people that would put up a good fight with Floyd are: 1. Paul Williams- Because of his size and punch output. I don't think it's advisable for Floyd to take this fight because he has nothing to gain. 2. Sergio Martinez- The toughest fight out there for Floyd. This is the one person in the world who stands a chance at boxing with Floyd. Sergio can fight going backwards, so I would consider this a toss-up. It would also be a very nice feather in Floyd's cap to win the MW title.
I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for this post but the meat and potatoes of it is: Pacquaio vs Floyd IS A TECHNICAL MISMATCH! Floyd dominates Manny all day long and twice on Sundays!
