    Best part is when Pacquiao has a video on Youtube actively admitting he walked away from the fight, and people still call out Floyd for administering a test that Pacs corner walked away from...yet asked for the same kind of test later

        Holyfield is the only boxer even back in 2008 that said Pacman style is all wrong for Floyd, every other boxing guy said easy fight for Floyd, but Holyfield said he used to watch Floyd as an amatuer and said he struggled against a guy who beat him in the ams who was a quick awkward southpaw, he said floyd doesn't really have head movement he gets hit often with straight lefts when he is in the shell or shoulder roll stance, and trie to lure you on the ropes so you are baited into throwing wide hooks that let him slip and counter under.

        Pacman has short ass arms and he traps you in the corner or the ropes he will not throw wide hooks he looks for openings and will try to break through, watch the Clottey fight, he didn;t stop punching when he covered up and kept trying to punch through the cracks in the defense.

        also Marquez NEVER shells up, so how can anyone say that because Marquez beats Pac that Floyd will and lets not forget Marquez had to go through hell with Pac all the times they fought.

        Marquez is not a pot shotter, Floyd is a guy who pot shots and shells up a lot.

        If you shell up on Pac he will start punching you, This why Pac has trouble with Marquez because Marquez never shells up he has no defense, Marquez punches with punches and fires back combos he never clinches ever or covers up its why he gets beat up too.

        this why Algieri is a tough fight he is similar to Marquez he doesn't shell up and keeps circling and using his jab and combos to keep shorter guys at bay.

        Floyd has never fought someone like Chris Algieri either a long lanky mover with stamina and high punch output.

          The Pac that beat Cotto was a genuine ATG fearsome beast. Best version of Pac there ever was or will be.

            Well said. Marquez and floyd have completely different mindsets. Marquez will trade with you. Mayweather's first instinct is to shell up and when he feels the coast is clear he counters or he beats people to the punch.

            Malignaggi made a great point that pac doesn't have to change anything about him. Guys like de la hoya or zab judah are not wired like manny. Those guys get discouraged when they get countered. Pac's offensive mentally is to take one and give 3 back.

              ATG Defensive fighter vs ATG Offensive fighter and us as fans are going to not get to see it.
              Yes we will and you watch Floyd win 9 rounds or better , no fighter that weighs the same or less than him on the night will beat Floyd Mayweather , Manny will be one of his easiest fights , actually this fight against Maidana is harder than Manny will be .

              I lol every time I see idiots write Manny will stop Floyd , obviously they aint watching Manny fight because he dont stop anybody and they all a class below Floyd from a lower division and he is going to stop Floyd dream on ,,, thats just pure fanboy right there !

              You will all see .
