Everybody knows that.
We know Floyd will be able to connect his fav punches.
Manny is a shorter guy and def not a defensive wizzard.
We already know Floyd is a problem to Manny or any fighter.
The mistery of this fight is more like how much Manny can be a problem to Floyd.
Tarver is putting on the table the real question.
Maybe Manny's weird angles and punches will surprise Floyd, maybe not.Comment

This fight would not be a test for Mayweather at all, this would be like Lewis-tua, Barrera-Naz where the boxer would have sooo much respect for the power guy and it would just turn into a jab, move and don't get close to me sort of fight. People would be disappointed when they see how this fight goes.Comment

Floyd will get beat up in the first half like some of his other important fights. The only thing is PAC doesn't fade in the second half and he'll get beat up more.Comment

Seriously. Floyd is going to potshot and hug his way to a boring UD and people are going to be mad as hell. Pacquiao is doing what, about 30 seconds of work a round now? The other two and a half minutes will be Floyd keeping his lead foot outside, jabbing to the body and other low risk scoring blows, getting out again and circling. Pac goes on his explosive offensive, Floyd ties him up wrestles him around a bit while Pac looks at the ref. Ref steps in and they reset, Floyd goes back to doing what he does. The biggest problem in this fight is that Pac will have to go through Floyd's most effective range to get to his most effective range.This fight would not be a test for Mayweather at all, this would be like Lewis-tua, Barrera-Naz where the boxer would have sooo much respect for the power guy and it would just turn into a jab, move and don't get close to me sort of fight.

If he corners him Floyd could get De La Hoya'd in spurts, Floyd looked very bad against Maidana in parts in that second fight.Seriously.

That was back when PAC was #1 pound 4 pound . Before his KNOCKOUT LOSS to JMM and ( while disputed by most ) decision loss to TIMMY . Even the most die hard PAC fan has to admit his stock has dropped .Floyd with his unreasonable money-split demands doesn't want the fight... we should have known this from when he offered Pac $40 million with no share of the PPV revenue...that might be the most ridiculous offer made in boxing history especially after he supposedly agreed to 50-50 two years before and Pac was number 1 pound for pound still and still was an unstoppable machine...Comment

My Assessment to the Boxing Fan brethren,
LOL
I appreciate Tarvers article, its his perspective without bashing one side or another.
I will honestly try to do this in my post. IF my post is full of bs, its not meant to be towards any of you.
For Years I have felt May JR has been ducking Major Threats, for instance MARGO, COTTO and Pac, which at the time were PRIME ELITE WW THREATS albeit Pac has NEVER been a full fledged WW.
Now I said this not to start a squabble or slander one another, I say this because there is a MAJOR problem in the above paragraph. Why would anyone Duck a Major threat ?
Fear ?
The Ducker sees something ? All of us see's something, when confronted with a threat. Dogs see something, some turn tail and run, some avoid those threats and rightfully so, they still have their lives. RIGHT ?!!
Why is the word "TESTED" appearing in boxing writers posts ?
IS a boxing match just about who has the best skills alone, underscore ALONE?
I don't fight dogs, but I know about dogs way before it was a felony, I know from LONG AGO about dogs and learned what GAMENESS IS About. I Know the similarity's of dogs and men. A man doesn't possess an ounce of what a GAME DOG HAS IN HIS HEART
BUT
there are parallels that exists.
Fighters have their day in court, when they get in the ring and the truth comes out.
Jr has made it hard on fighters with his skills, he has never been truly tested and his greatness is that he can move out of the way at the right millisecond and counter punch at the same time. There is no better at that !!
Jr can be hit, you have named them, Hatton put him on his heals in the first round and was hitting Jr with the Left hook in the first few rounds. Judah easily won the first 4 rounds putting Jrs' glove on the mat. Corley had Jr on ***** street. Mosley nearly got Jr out of there, but too old to pull the trigger after Jr made adjustments. Jr can be hit. Maidana 2 , Chino nailed Jr at the very close of round three, with the ref's mouth wide open and Jr studder stepping holding on to the ropes with Chino looking intently to see how hurt Jr was, and Jr was hurt. IF that punch had landed early in the round we dont' know what the outcome would have been.
Now boxing brethren if you are still with me , I want to present the intrigue that keeps ME watching boxing with a passion.
IT is the MATCH ! It is pitting one against another to see who is the BEST !
To find the best, dogs or men are matched into one another, right ?
YOU can't claim to be the best until you have CONQUERED THE BEST !!! RIGHT or WRONG ?
Old dog fighters before the Felony matched into dogs to find who was the best. Was its Tudors Black Jack from the 30's, was it ZEBO etc.........
There were always men trying to come up with a dog to beat the GREAT ACES of the DAY !!!!!!! GREAT DOG MEN DID """""NOT""""" DUCK OTHER GREAT DOGMEN with their DOGS. They matched into each other to see who had the best DOG !!!!!!
MEN are NOT DOGS !!!!!!!
But there are some similarity's :
1. Men use gloves and shouldn't be biting , haha
2. Men have rules as well as dogs
3. Men if PRESSED,,,,,,, as if in a WINE PRESS, where g****s are in a vat and pressed to get the juice OUT, under great STRESS,,,,,,,,,,,, will SHOW to the WORLD WATCHING, if they are Game or not. I am not talking about counter shots or quick movements I am talking about taken to the WINE PRESS by your opponent, to the place where you know its LIFE or Death, kill or be killed, WIN or LOSE,,,,,QUIT or STAY,,,,,,,,,I can without a DOUBT tell you that the pit or ring will TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT *****YOU*****!!!!!!!!
That ring ALONE will tell us the truth about JR's gameness of which all of the signs I have seen for the past 5 years is he LACKS DEEP GAMENESS.
Pac has proven he is game, deep GAME and Pac has the TOOLS , the HEART, the SKILLS to test JR .
All the bickering , talk, slandering, cussin, fartin etc............... won't!
but put them in the ring and we will see who is the REAL DEAL
Talk is cheap.
Building a record on Cherry picks tells me somebody has a HEART PROBLEM.
Scared to face all comers tells me there is a lack of gameness.
HOW can it be PROVED ? There is only ONE WAY !!!!!
PUT JR in the RING with PAC in the OPPOSITE CORNER and RING THE BELL !Comment
