    Trust me, this fight will be ugly and has the potential to be the greatest fight in history. Floyd has slowed down a bit, roach wasn't ****in around when he said that. His last two fights were amazing and so rewarding for those who loves his style. He is basically forced to be more agressive in every way, but as you can see from the compubox, his stats are still out of the ordinary.

    With that being said, these NATURAL adjustments he made may not benefit him when he fights pac. He is a brilliant boxer and will adjust, but it will be out of his comfort zone. Pac will be Pac for this fight. Who ever comes more prepared will prevail. Prepare to watch 12 rounds of Round 1.
    Floyd can be aggressive when he wants to. So far he has done exactly what he said he would do when he came back out of retirement. After a pac fight I just want to see him finally crush Cheatto for good then he can retire for good. Unless there are some other big money fights out there.

      I really cant figure out how he got tagged by Shane. I believe that the way he has been in his last two fights are permanent natural changes to his style. Im not saying that he can't move in the ring like he did during the 130lber days, but if he has to make this type of adjustment it will not be as easy.

        Shane has longer reach and fast hands, that's how he caught Floyd. PBF adjusted and he didn't just like SSM said.

          There's a slight moment. when Mayweather sticks his head out like a "dinosaur" when he leads with his left hook, which is how a "friend" of mine likes to put it .

            Yep I think your right but you still need good reach and timing to take advantage.

              For me the most important punch had always been the jab to the body, Pac can move his head all he wants to get inside and jump in with crazy punches but due to Mays huge arm length he will just be running onto Floyds stiff arm into his gut... i believe depending on the distance and positioning of Manny after this punch May will either look to throw a looping right to the head, clinch or step back and counter.

                Mayweather wins close rounds. 118-110 for Floyd.

                  left hook to the head and to the body is kryptonite against southpaws.

                    I can see Mayweather countering Manny all night with those lightning right hand leads. Since Manny often jumps in recklessly the impact will be even worse. I think those will really slow him down, and if Manny tries to take a step back and look for openings he will likely lose on points as his work rate will fall rapidly. If Manny can effectively use his work rate, even if he doesn't land much, he could win a decision if he's evasive enough to avoid eating eye-catching shots to draw the judges' attention. Floyd also drops his left when he throws the right hand so there will be an opening for Manny's right hook there if he is quick enough to capitalize.
