    Floyd learned that Pac:

    1. Will always exchange with you, even if the other guy is stronger and bigger, even if he's hurt.
    2. Has a wicked bodyshot that can hurt bigger guys.
    3. If given a bit of opening, he will flurry you with combos, which is what happened once Marg got hurt with the body and momentarily dropped his arms.
    4. Can take body shots, even from guys like Marg
    5. Has tremendous chin - A-side meth?
    6. Has tremendous stamina - Peds?

        Floyd cannot walk Pacman down, he will get picked apart if he done that, it's not his style. I very much doubt Floyd would like to fight up close to get bodyshots in.. Floyd would probably be ultra defensive, fighting at mid-range, avoiding any trading. It's more than likely Pacman will be the man coming forward..

          Nohting to gain that we already didn't know... Manny is susceptible to punches up the middle and uppercuts

            There was nothing to learn from this fight. I thought it was general knowledge that Pac was soft to the body, easy to find with a jab (and Margo is slow as molasses), loses his rhythm when you feint him, can't defend an uppercut, and throws his punches too wide. Freddie is doing Manny a disservice by discrediting Mayweather's skill set. Once they get in the ring and Manny is forced to fight a thinking man's fight and deal with ring placement traps, angles, feints, coupled with a defense that doesn't allow Mayweather to get hit with more than one clean punch at a time, he's gonna get impatient and wild and end up either looking foolish for about 10 rounds or knocked out.

              So that's the reason why Bernard Madoff was put in jail. Opps.

                Pac can be walked down, but then he will hit you and hurt you.

                Floyd won't take the punishment Marg did IMO.

                However he won't get hit as much, and personally, if Floyd chooses to walk Pac down, it plays into Pac's hands.

                Remember that Pac was toying with Marg a few times and he has always said he wants to show the fans a good fight, and that's when he goes to war.

                As for the body punch, yes it did hurt Pac quite abit, but Marg is a big ass guy and trained for it. Also I think that Pac came in softer than usual, even at 144, while he seemed a lot more toned for Cotto.

                  Good stuff here - don't necessarily agree with everything but at least someone is trying to talk boxing instead of the ******, idiotic posts I've seen from posters who have nothing else to offer.

                    pretty sure you said the same about floyd walking shane down...OOPS!, he did. floyd wil walk pac down. and once pac has been broke down from close quarter and inside fighting. floyd will step out and box his ears off to finish him.

                    mark my works

                      floyd will close the distance to keep pac from having optimum firing range. marg cannot compare to the floyd when it comes to pressure, close quarter and inside fighting
