For those who say "now we know why Floyd didn't fight PAC"

[junior gong]

People have been saying that since a pressure fighter gave Floyd a tough fight. But manny struggles with a counter punching Juan each and every time. So that must mean PAC will struggle with Floyd right?

Not only are Floyd fanboys fantasy dreamers, they're also triangle theorists.. hehe... What a fanbase. These people need to switch to WWF or something... hehe...

Juan beat manny with a one punch counter. Not saying Floyd will do the same just trying to point out how illogical saying PAC would do what maidana did is. Especially since like someone said manny and PAC don't fight the same either

Marquez counter PAC with his punch.

Floyd counter PAC with his duck.

You know.......

He tells Manny to take this special drug test. Then he accuses Manny of being on PEDS. Then he offers Manny who is the best fighter in the world at the time, and PPV Star, a flat fee of 40million with no back end. Then he says Pac has to avenge his controversial losses to Roidquez and Bradley. Then he says Manny has to leave Arum in order to make the fight. Who in the hell does he think he is!? Just get in the ring and fight like they used to do It! He calls himself TBE but his resume' doesn't reflect his claim. He's dodged numerous fights in the past. He has no interest in giving us fans what we want to see. He's a selfish, egotistical, maniac and he's bad for boxing. I can't wait until he retires.

floyds style is defensive and potshots from a distance. While mannys style is like a buzzsaw thatll imo be all kinds of trouble for floyd. while floyd tries to box and potshot he will be forced to deal with mannys combos from all kinds of angles. the stamina that pac has also prove that he will keep his pace up for the full 12 rds. floyds only chance is if manny fights floyd fight wich i doubt.

Floyd is a chronic ducker. End thread. You're welcome.

If Floyd is fighting on the outside with a larger reach, then how does he have to worry about combos-especially when he has made a career off of fighting on the backfoot.

Pac's workrate drops with his opponent's movement-the problem is, none of Pac's opponents can fight off of the backfoot.They have been able to neutralize him by using range, but never tried to catch him lunge in. JMM did.

A good way to fight someone who uses in and out movement that throws combos is in the fight with Roger Mayweather (ironicly) against Pazienza. Pick em apart from the outside with a jab (or a straight right) and catch them coming in (with an uppercut, straight, etc).

Manny is NOT a power punching relentless pressure fighter. He is more of an ambush fighter that needs you to be slow footed, plant your feet or plod forward to walk into shots, when you have your guard up and stay still or slowly advance he will then throw combos.
When you force Manny to come to you and he falls short it frustrates him and he becomes off balance and reckless.His success within exchanges drops dramatically if you are on the outside.

You are off with your facts...Floyd offered him $40,000,000 JUST before he got sparked by JMM. At this time Floyd was completely re-established as the P4P #1 fighter and had still had more success in terms of ppv then Manny.

As for Pac leaving Arum,it is his choice as MANY other fighters gained more financial success once they left Bob....even JCC, Garcia, etc recently will be leaving Arum because he is not paying good enough. Manny has ran out of rehashed opponents, so whether he fights Floyd or not, he still needs to get more varied opponents-and they are all with Golden Boy atm.

As boxing fans, we should all want Pac to leave Top Rank, because this would open up more exciting fights for him.
