Damn,i get a good laugh from these floyd fanboys talking smack,acting like if pacquiao is an old man,and floyd is a spring chicken. NEWSFLASH pacquiao is the younger fighter by two years,and based off of what I saw in the last maidana fight,floyds reflexes are starting to go. He doesnt trust them anymore,so hes hugging the ropes,and clinching like a beast now,so that his legs can rest,and so that he doesnt get caught with shots like he did at the end of the 3rd round. As a fighter floyd relies on his relfexes far more than pacquiao does,and if he thinks that 1 or 2 shots at a time,are going to keep pacquiao honest,and keep pacquiao from closing the distance,floyds going to be in for one hell of a dissapointment. I still dont know where people are getting the idea,that the moment that floyd hits pacquiao,pacquiaos going to freeze and not know what to do,like if hes never been hit in over 64 fights. If anything ,i want to see how floyd will react with someone who will keep fast pressure on him,from different angles,for the whole 12 rounds. I promise you he'll slip up,and thats when we'll see if floyds really all hes cracked up to be.

The fight isn't even made and I see excuses already. They both slowed down and neither will get full credit. But don't give me that Pac or May would've did this year's ago, bs. I

Everybody seems to forget that Manny was asleep for a minute in the ring 4 fights ago..Manny couldn't even handle Marquez's counter punching. I think floyd will be fine,Pac might take another nap coming in with those wild combos. A southpaw is a sucker for a right hand...zzzz

Im pretty confident you see a guy beating slow drained fighters and shot fighters and think the speed difference in those fights is going to translate the same against a prime really fast defensive wizard , Manny would be schooled by Floyd 10 yrs ago 5 yrs ago and now .

The trouble is you see a guy beat A and think its going to be the same against B , this is called fan vision which builds hype . .

This is one of the single most logical post I've ever read on boxingscene.
Thank you

This. Boxing Scene is the foremost place for Boxing News on the internet. Come on now, you guys should be above the click-bait nonsense.

You're smart enough to know the answer to that question. Would you rather get all of the content in one shot and maybe miss some news if you skip a day on BScene or have it spaced out so you get a little something every day and you have something to read while taking your morning dumps...

Oh wow, this writer didnt state "Bob Arum is negotiating the fight" like the rest of the bob-nuthugging bscene has

You're saying this version of Floyd. At nearly 38-yeard old is a prime version?
