    Reasons why Floyd shouldn't fight Pacquaio

    Give some good reasons why Floyd shouldn't fight Pacquaio, based on what you think. Once this thread is done, I'll create one for vice-versa, that is why Pac shouldn't fight Floyd.

    My observation is Floyds Philly Shell. The Philly Shell style is not as effective against southpaws, Floyd does make up for it being an exceptional talent. However, I noticed Floyd was susceptible to the left hook when he faught Mosley, and Mosley exploited it, but not enough.
    I can only see them coming all day long from Pacquaio.

    Floyd will not be coming in to the bout against Pacquiao with the philly style defense.

      Hi guys,

      I noticed Floyd can sometimes get caught with right hands (mosley a good example) as he tends to keep his right hand high but his left hand low to his chest, a well placed right hook could spell trouble for Floyd and Pacmans is getting better and better.

      I know that Floyd sometimes fights with a high guard against southpaws which is why I think he will do this against pac in order to stop the right hooks landing flush. I also think Floyd will press the fight and people will be surprised to see Floyd coming forward against Pac.

      TRT

        yo!

        I can see Floyed giving Pac too many defensive looks in order to take his offense away from him, ass soo and floyed picks that lock.

        its bedtime, Pac reletlessness will be his, undoing mark my words!

            This is what everyone is saying....give us a FACTUAL actual CONCRETE reason why his offense will be his undoing. we all know Floyd a a defensive wizard but how many fighters has Floyd faced that have thrown 1300 punches in a Welterweight fight? Let alone against a defensive fighter, now let me tell you a lot of those didnt land BUT they kept Clottey at bay...they kept him occupied. And I think that was the intention. Why woulf Floyd take a fight against a BIG DEFENSIVE IRON CHINNED fighter right before the Floyd fight? WHY? Why would he use his offense as his defense against Clottey? And why would Floyd take on a BIG OFFENSIVE IRON CHINNED figher right before his fight with Manny?
            Pacs punches are odd, they come from wierd angles with odd timing. Now dont take my word for it, how many fighters have said this about Pacquiao. Probably about as many as Floyds had say his defense was their undoing.
            There is really no way anyone can say this is an easy fight for either fighter. Both fighters are obviously nervous about facing each other...Its clear as day.

              manny wont be able to throw 1300 punches against floyd..clottey just stood there with his hands up..no angles no nothing..floyd creates space and angles and clinches when its causes for..manny will be lucky to get off 400 punches..floyd like hopkins are masters at cutting down workrate

                Floyd isn't as effective with his offense without his hands down and in the Philly Shell. He gets handcuffed a bit

                  Again, WHO has Floyd fought that has been able to throw 1300 punches in a Welterweight fight?
