    If Floyd fought Pac exactly like Morales did in the first fight?

    Simple question to everyone here:

    If Floyd fought Pac exactly like Morales did in the first fight, would he beat Manny easily?

    I mean, i hear a lot of Floyd fans claiming how that an out of prime Morales outboxed Pac and how Pac hasn't changed at all since then, he's still one dimensional, so the fight should be easy if Floyd just uses Morales' game plan right? It's the blueprint to beat Manny, am I correct?

    And don't bring up JMM, he lost, and he really lost twice.

    After the first fight Pacman KO'd Morales in his own game.

    I think there is no need to live in the past, But, focus more on what is up in the future.

    Such as the Mega fight between Pacman vs Pretty Boy Floyd Jr.
    and think of the following:

    1. Will the Court / Legal problem involving Floyd Jr & Roger affects the mental and emotions of Floyd' fighting spirit?

    2. His inactivity in the ring for several months or nearly a year, will it affects his reflexes, and timing as well as, his endurance?

    3. Pacman has proven that he can beat heavier and taller opponents, will his SPEED outsmarts Floyd Jr? Example how will Floyd Jr reacts if after throwing a jab, Pacman will simultaneously counterpunch with great speed as what he did to Margs.? You think Floyd Jr., wouldn't get hit?

    4. Its better to analyze the improvements made by Pacman in his latest fight rather than dwell in his past. His weaknesses has been corrected.

        First Manny wouldn't be struggling to make weight and Morales knew how to fight southpaws.

            pacs improvements are minimal being that hes been fighting tailor made fighter who have slow foot work, plod fwd and much slower than him. pac has proven he can beat tailormade fighters and thats it.

            how has pac improved against BOXERS? and one thats faster than him?

            dont worry, ill wait. b.c i dont see how you can say hes improved against boxers when hes refused to fight them since JMM

            dumb *******s

              You are providing some people here possible excuses that they can use.
              Good points my man. We should delve on the future.

                Shot fighters dont put in that kind of great 12 round performance Morales did. That was his swan song.

                A shot Morales was the 3rd Pac fight.

                I dont see Floyd ever fighting like Morales in terms of aggression and punch out put. Floyd likes distance, and Morales at times was chasing Pac across the ring and throwing multi-punch combos.

                  use the JMM blueprint but don't get knocked down


                  JMM had too at least win 18 rounds against Manny thats your blueprint

                    Floyd would have to do some serious adjustments to beat Pac. It is actually hard to tell what will happen in this fight since there are no elite counter punchers near Mayweather's level besides Marquez that Pacquiao has fought in recent times. In my opinion I believe Pacquiao is in his physical prime (best weight, best combo of speed and power) and has improved much since his fight with Morales. Before Pac vs. Marquez II he used to be easier to decipher, and was a simple pattern fighter. Now I believe he doesn't telegraph himself as much, and improvises more.

                    I think style wise they are both each other's Achilles heel. I just think Pacquiao's power might make the difference in this fight.

                    By the way where do you rate Pacquiao's punching power against Hatton, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Clottey and Mayweather?

                    I got (weakest to strongest puncher) Mayweather (I know stylistically he relies on speed,placement, and accuracy as he doesn't sit on his punches like Mosley), Hatton, Clottey, Margarito, Cotto, Pacquiao, Mosley.
