Floyd is a better offensive fighter than Manny! Pac-JMM & PBF-JMM fights prove it.

He has better timing, balance, punch selection, and accuracy than Manny. He also creates shots off his defense. Yes, he is a better offensive fighter. Also consider the Mosley fights where Floyd landed more cleaner shots. He knows how to find a way to connect.

As for the Mosley fight, Mosley rocked Floyd in round two, this gave him the confidence to stand and trade with Floyd for the entire fight, leading to many scoring opportunities for Floyd. When Mosley fought Paq, Paq put him down early, and after that Mosley avoided contact and practically ran, thereby giving Paq far less scoring opportunities than he had given Floyd.

Naw Man Mosley was done...

Shane Mosley, who showed his age and the wear and tear of 53 professional bouts and 376 live rounds against the listless Sergio Mora on Saturday, did not help his standing in the Manny Pacquiao sweepstakes.

That's the word from Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum, who was busy with religious observance on Yom Kippur and did not view the bout live.
Asked on Sunday if he'd read the less-than-glowing reports of the controversial draw, Arum gave little reason to expect a Mosley-Pacquiao showdown.

"I did and I read them saying Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round," Arum said. "To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40s but he always had that big, big punch like in the (Michael) Moorer fight."

"What I've read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he's going to be 40 and he's in the lighter weights where speed is so important. He's on a show with guys
old enough to be his son."

"I guess Shane needs the money due to his matrimonial sitaution (a divorce under harsh California community property rules)," Arum said. "I've always considered Shane to be a nice guy but this is what happens to fighters when they age.

"It's like (Bernard) Hopkins, he still knows how to fight but who wants to pay to see him now? His fights are not very scintillating. What you see with Hopkins we're beginning to see with Mosley."
Arum said he wouldn't be interested in playing the flakcatcher if he made a Shane-Manny bout at this point.

"I have to constantly be aware of this, the flak from the naysayers. We've faced with (Antonio) Margarito for Nov. 13 and we got real, instant flak. But now even the naysayers are looking at that just as a fight. Now the pendulum is swinging the other way and they're saying maybe Antonio is too strong or too big for Manny."

Agreed, SSM was over the hill for his fights with Floyd and Paq, my post was in reference to someone else posting that Floyd landed more against SSM than did Paq.

correction- floyd is a better offensive fighter against DEFENSIVE fighters.

If we're talking about pure offensive output and raw damage, Pacquiao is a monster.

but cant cut off the ring vs Mosley?

Floyd has the wrong skin color, thats why he is #2, not because Pacquiao is better
