    Pac's footwork is by far superior. It's even better than Hatton's and he was able to get in close on FLoyd easily.
    he was "stationary" cause he was standing in front of mosley being the agresser. his legs are fine

      the thing i fear most about floyd fighting pac aif he does beat pac, ppl saying floyd was too big. i totally see it happening. floyd aint gonna underestimate manny's strength. he isnt gonna fight with the shoulder roll because manny's a south paw, and he wont stand in front of manny.

      to me, i dnt see how manny beats floyd. the minute manny lands off balance with one of his punches, floyd will take advantage. the minute manny makes one sloppy mistake, just like against jmm, floyd witt take advantage. i just think floyd is all wrong for manny. manny's advantages are few and far between. and i think roach knos this so he has to try to hype the fight up to ppl who dont kno any better.

      lol. because from the minute the closing bell rung on the mosely fight, ppl were questioning whether manny actually stood a chance against floyd. listen to lampley and even steward. i even read some writers question whether that fight would be competitive. i sure hope roach has developed some kind of strategy. ppl claim manny's unpredictable but imo, floyd is just as unpredictable...who know's wtf he's capable of. he has yet to be really pushed. its crazy.

              i didnt see any wasted energy from floyd and his movement all fight was more than adequate to deal with the likes of mosely. tell me if im wrong...
              Flat footed...yes....but Floyd was relying on counter-punching and head movement + that straight right to demoralize Shane....which he was excuted to a tee....footwork wasn't necessary to defeat Shane.....

              But then again...i'm not the one who watches hrs and hrs of fight footage....

                Floyd isn't a flat footed fighter he just isn't one dimensional. Against Mosley he stood his ground and walked him down, against Marquez he boxed him on the outside.

                  hey even though i was pulling for the older 38 year old shane mosley to win floyd mayweather did a great job surviving that huge right hand shot from mosley in the second round and yes he was flat footed for a brief second or so but i was shocked that mosley could not finish him off and the way floyd took over the fight starting from the very next round
