    Theres a reason why Floyd has ducked Pacquiao for 5 years and that's because, Pacquiao puts him to sleep

      Floyd could only suffer a KD in the manner Judah caused it IMO. A timing shot. Even in his most vulnerable unprepared state he's using all his energy to absorb and disinfect damage. He "rolls" and flinches at the same speeds and velocity of the blows coming at him. Mongoose retraction speed. Doesn't look manly but it does the job.

        I find it unlikely, even in that case.

        The best and maybe only way for Pacquaio to get a W in my opinion is to absolutely not look for a KD/KO.

        It may sound weird, but if Pac starts to lunge forward and go wild as he often does , Mayweather would capitalize and land his straight right at will.

        The way I see it, Pac should fight a very disciplined stick and move/ in and out type of fight to get a W. He has to use his speed, his ability to give angles and his southpaw stance to just touch Floyd, then move out.

        If he manages to do so, Floyd will have to eventually open up and fight more aggressive, something that might play in Pac's hands.

        If Manny tries to make it a war, I don't see him doing well for more than 2 or 3 rounds.

              Clotted was in survival mode the entire fight. He never intended to engage, not much you can do when a guy is only there to survive. Bradley's chin is superior to Floyd's. comparing the two chins is like comparing titanium to peanut brittle, Floyd's chin being the peanut brittle.
