How would Floyd beat Pac?

[Khalid X]

What's Manny gonna do? He's nothing special. He's a speedy southpaw who's faced slower fighters throughout his whole career. Can you name one fighter he's faced that was even close to as fast as he was? Guess what? Mr.Mayweather is just as fast as he is. Like I said. This is gonna be an embarrassing one sided UD. Mayweather has awesome timing, and Manny will repeatedly get caught then in the end get frustrated and Floyd will pretty much taunt him into the 12th round. Like I said, Zab Judah all over again.

See this is why I don't break down fights with certain posters. You are entitled to your opinion, but to say Manny is nothing special, and imply he is some bum, well it's kinda hard to talk boxing with someone like that.

Man I dislike Floyd, but I don't let that blind me in my predictions. For me to act like he is a bum, really shows a total lack of knowledge when it comes to the sport .... a while making me come off as being extremely biased.

If you believe all of what you just typed....cool and more power to you. Just don't be shocked once they fight and Manny wins. That happens, please don't back track and make excuses.

ur dumb enough to understand his post.. maybe u didnt read it or ur just blind lol.

Read the TITLE. "How would Floyd beat Pac?" Not "Typical*******:Why isn't Floyd fighting *******" That thread is right over there.

[M.I Truth ?]

Pacquiao is clearly not the same fighter Marquez fought years ago. Pac's main attraction used to be his straight left. His vicious right nearly toppled Margarito and kd'd Cotto. His right and left hooks put Cotto on the canvas the second time.

Nah. This is not even about Floyd. This is about Pacquiao in his excellent physical element.

Read the next line after the one you highlighted. I agree he is better now but may be troubled by someone with similar strenghes

My god, you imbecile. Competition has nothing to do in this situation. Look at Pacquiao's last 6 opponents. All Flat footed, almost of all them slow, and 4/6 of them are left handed. If DLH fired a left hook, and Pacquiao fired a left hook who would get there first? Seriously, just shut the **** up you know nothing about the sport of boxing. You need to realize STYLES make fights, and Pacquiao is tailor made to get ****ed up by good boxers.

then we look at floyd who get's worked by C level southpaw fighters...

then again that was years ago and both fighter's talent level have severely increased. hard to gauge it at this point. both are tailor made for each other, just f***ing fight!

Thats what im saying, as a Pac fan before Floyd fan I can honestly say Floyd has the tools to beat Pac and vice versa...

We can engage in the southpaw arguement for Pac or the counter puncher theory for Floyd.. thats why this fight needs to happen, which I think it wont.

He is not some bum. IMO he's great at what he does. I don't hate Manny, hell I'm not even a big Floyd fan either. I personally think Floyd is ducking top competition, but that is besides the point. I'm simply stating my opinion on what I studied on both Pacquiao and Mayweather.

In my opinion Pacquiao makes many many many many mistakes and Floyd will capitalize them for a UD. That's just how I see it. In fact, I will be shocked if Manny wins. If he does, all power to him.

Okay my bad then. There are so many trolls and biased people on NSB that it's hard to tell now in days. If you feel that way...nothing but respect to you for your opinion on this fight.

I see it differently but to each his own.

Pacquiao will be the first opponent Floyd has ever faced who believes 100% he will win the fight.

Pacquiao is just as calm and confident as Floyd and wont burn up nervous energy.

How would floyd beat pac if floyds on vacation?

there. fixed it for you.

It's tricky to call as neither has really faced opposition of the same calibre.

Really Pac's been putting beat downs on guys that are just put in front of him for that purpose, JMM stretched him but I think Pac has come a fair way since that fight. Floyd should be superior to JMM, slicker defense and stronger. I think there could be a few cracks in his defence due to inactivity and might be a little sluggish and struggle with his timing.

People are drawing comparisons to the Floyd-Judah bout, I think Pac has got a bit more than a prime Judah, a lot tougher mentally. that, coupled with Floyds possible decline could see Floyd take a few extra rounds to figure Manny out.

It'd be a hell of a close fight, I think Pac would start well and get the first 2-3 rounds then it'd get tight and ugly, Pac would keep coming and be the aggressor which could see him get the nod in the tight middle rounds. I think Floyd would begin to pick him apart late.

I'd say Pac to get up 116-113 or something similar if Floyds slowed at all. Ideally the fight would get announced for next June and Floyd would take a tune up so I'd have a better gage of where he's at.
