The day Floyd-Pac is signed, Pac is going to go from Fighter of the decade to overated midget who dont belong at welterweight in a matter of hours. And then we'll be flooded with Floyd should fight Martinez at 160 threads!Last edited by Code Red; 06-09-2011, 11:45 AM.

I've thought about this as well, and fact of the matter is....there isn't anybody like Floyd right now in the game...Pacquiao could use Bradley, because he's a smart and a multifaceted, capable fighter to prep for Mayweather or he could force Zab Judah to fight from an orthodox stance in sparring, and maybe get a similar display out of him...but that's as close as you can get and still be kinda far off...unfortunately. Pacquiao could use a guy like Brad Solomon and/or Amir Khan in sparring, I think that could help some because of some of the nuances in their styles.
Mayweather wouldn't have it that easy either to prep for Pacquio but it could be less difficult. Floyd could use Victor Ortiz to get accustomed to the punching power and Victor might actually throw harder than Manny...it's hard to gauge with only one welterweight fight from the guy, I dunno. Also, Mayweather could use Zab Judah in sparring to prepare for the speed and angles of the punches in his training camp.
Floyd and Manny are unlike any fighter fighting within or around their weight class, as hard as they prepare, they'll find out something new in the ring against each other.

If Floyd rout's Ortiz, as many predict, May-Pac isn't going to happen, Arum wont take the risk, especially with OST in play. Every advantage Mayweather, Yeam Pac is trying hard to find some kind of way to diminish Floyd's advantages, hopefully that lawsuit will work out for them.Last edited by Code Red; 06-09-2011, 12:39 PM.

That will always be the impression no matter how you spin it. But it's good that he's finally fighting.
Leave Floyd alone, Pac fans.

People who are describing Ortiz as a good fight for pacquiao have no idea what they are talking about, it would end the same way as there sparring sessions, with Ortiz hurt on the floor, and an earlier than scheduled finish. Pacquiao and mayweather are equally dominant, they are on a different level. They have to settle it in the ring, there is no way it will be a one sided fight...NO WAY
