Can't say anything about Pac-PBF based on their fights with Mosley. Shane had no spirit against Pac. After the KD he decided he was content to collect his check.

great video.
• floyds handspeed/form/precision is amazing.
• pac's handspeed seemed to slow, but they CLEARLY pound harder.
• mosley reaction to floyd landing: "damn, this ****er is quick"
• mosley reaction to pac landing: "HEEEEELP"
• floyd looked to be the bigger/stronger guy compared to shane
• shane looked to be the bigger/stronger guy compared to pac
floyd never fully commits to his punches, he just seems to be content to 'check' his opponents... so essentially, an opponent has no fear because they know after a quick 1-2, floyd will back off... in contrast to pac, he comes at them like a freight train... best way is to sidestep and get pac off balance. worst thing to do against pac is to retreat straight back, its a guaranteed straight left or a meat-grinder combo.
IMO, too many likely scenarios for floyd/pac... it really is a 50/50 fight.Comment

Imagine Marquez-Pac III turns out to be a war, that would be pathetic by Manny. Anything short of 120-108 UD, or dominating the fight before a stoppage, would make Pacquiao look bad. What would be worse if he doesn't dominate is that it will be 2 years since Mayweather-Marquez.
You gotta give it to Roach though, after 2004 he wanted no part of Marquez until 2008 with a supposedly improved Pacquiao Then again, wants no part of Marquez until another 4 years. This will be the year they finally put Marquez down I think, Roach's dream of waiting on Marquez to get "old" in boxing terms will finally come true. Roach is a very good matchmaker and promoter on the low down. People are overlooking the fact that although JMM stopped Katsidis, looked how much Katsidis hit Marquez, and even dropped him. Roach saw this and said, now is the time.Comment

They way I see it, Pacquiao has to drop him and drop him for good and do it early. If the fight goes beyond 6 rounds without Pacquiao being completely destructive, you can bet that ****'s going all 12 rounds. Marquez has lost a lot of reflexes and like you said Katsidis hit him a lot but you can't count him out on a thinking match. He still has the desire to win, you can tell by his latest interviews. I got Pacquiao by stoppage early or decision for Pacquiao too. Unless Marquez turns back the clock just a few years and puts the performance of his career, which is very unlikely.Comment

Mayweather is a blindingly fast sharp shooter who is very accurate, or precise, and will sting you with his shots, as well as make you extremely hesitant to open up. His punches hurt. One could argue they hurt more than Pacquiao's. He just doesn't throw as many as Pacquiao.
Pacquiao is a blindingly fast sharp shooter as well, yet his precision decreases when faced with opponents who fight on the backfoot. He's still fairly precise, and his combinations hurt you, as your body feels a long accumulation of pain through it in a matter of seconds. The consistency of this pain depends on the opponent. If he moves forward (Margarito, Cotto, Barrera, Hatton etc..)he gets destroyed, as Pac's speed, combos, and footwork increase the consistency of pain. If they fight of the backfoot (Morales, JMM, Mosley etc..) Pac's accuracy decreases, as well as the consistency of his assault. Yet, his power makes up for this, as one solid counter shot can drop you.Comment

Damn that video hurt to watch... But from what I'm seeing, I think mayweather will be able to win on points... Mosley was able to turn PAC and make him miss often enough to be Ble to score but he just couldn't pull the trigger anymore. If Mosley could do that, I can see mayweather doing that but neon sharp enough to score and frustrate PACComment
