    Apparently some people still think that Pacquiao is Superman

        Mayweather will fight whatever style he feels is better for him against Pacquiao. He adapts better than any boxer, if he has to come forward he'll do it if he needs to counter punch and move around he'll do it too

          It would definitely backfire. I don't care how intelligent or skilled Floyd is pressuring fighters, it's a death sentence against Pacquiao and he is not better at that style than Pacquiao is at killing someone coming towards him.

            Not really. Just look at what happen in the Ortiz fight. Floyd knows when and how to come forward. His defense is just incredible. Ortiz was younger, bigger and probably stronger, and Floyd punked him.

              Doubt it.... When have we ever seen Manny effective going back??? When he does go back its usually in a straight line with his hands up after getting hit flush.... Other then that hes in and out

                BUT, Pac has the huge flaw of leaping in to throw punches ... when you leap in you commit yourself to that direction and if a good counter-puncher catches Pac leaping in with a good shot -- the force behind the leaping action will make the punches force that much greater .... very dangerous for Pac.

                Plus, Pac cannot fight going backward, it throws his rhythm off completely and Floyd know this ... he is going to walk Pac down and use Pac's aggressiveness to trap him.

                Pac will need to fix quite a few boxing flaws prior to getting in a ring with Floyd.

                  Pac has **** defense and should go full out offensive in order to fight Floyd. He can maybe even get Floyd against the ropes and even though Floyd is dodging, ducking, and blocking every punch and hitting pacman with precision shots and counter punches/jabs Pac can possibly steal another win with the corrupt paid judges

                      He's just like Derek Zoolander.
