what about the clottey fight?
that fight told me that pac doesn't have welterweight power.
pac threw, what, 1000+ punches? and still could never break through clottey's guard. yet, judah and cotto were able to break through that guard to land hard shots.
yeah i know pac kd'ed cotto, but cotto has been knocked down before, and he's been chicken legged before. plus the 145 catchweight may have been a factor. (gotdamn i hated that catchweight bs).
after the fifth rd of pac-cotto, when cotto was already finished, pac hit cotto with clean, full power shots, repeatedly, for the rest of the fight, but cotto never got staggered. yeah he bled like a mu****a, but never staggered, never got put on ***** street. those same clean shots from a true welter would have dazed cotto.
and no way pac hits as hard as mosley, so good luck trying to replicate rd 2 of mosley-floyd.
size will be another factor. floyd is too big for pac when you consider that he's just as fast if not faster than pac.
i think pac's only chance is to use his quickness and try to outhustle floyd and out-workrate him to a decision, while trying to survive floyd's pinpoint incoming. even if pac somehow is able to find floyd, he ain't knockin out floyd.
in other words, it's a longshot that pac beats floyd.
Im a pac fan and i even realize this ****.
i would love to be proven wrong though. reverse jinx in effect, bitchez!
