    You might be right about this... You might be right. I was going to re-watch the fight tonight so i'll double check. I thought it was a right hook with floyd diving in... but you might be right. Btw, Pac has probably the best feints in the business.

      I always thought thats why floyd uses that str8 right so much..bcuz it worked so well against him.

      Pac has mad feints and head movement..thats one of his best weapons against floyd.

          Yeah, i also think that pac will be landing the left early. I mean there's just nobody you can spare with that will emulate the left hand of manny. So i think Floyd will have to take a few before he can adjust. I'm also very curious to see how floyd reacts when he takes those shots.

            5 years ago I put forth the question, but only Alvarez from those posters' suggestions seems to be The One... kinda. However, until he learns English I don't think he has much crossover appeal to be world-famous like Mayweather and Pacquiao. Plus, he's looked beatable on more than a few occasions (Trout, Lara, Mayweather...)

            I can only "lol" at the suggestion of Alexander, Bradley or Ortiz (yes, I was in that camp) as the next superstars.
            By the time Manny retires, I think ggg and kovalev will be big ppv attractions because of their exciting styles and willingness to take on the best. That's hoe pacquiao made it to the top, by consistently fighting and beating the best. Terance Crawford, Mikey Garcia, lomachenko, and Walters seem to be headed down that path as well. Say what you will about top rank but they know how to develop stars and ppv attrqctions. Every ppv star of our time was developed by top rank including mayweather, de la Hoya, pacquiao, chavez Jr., cotto. Marquez. Canelo is the exception

              Yeah right lol they cant be the future by fighting 3 bums out of every 4. Manny and Floyd consistently fought the best. Kovalev, ggg, Mikey Garcia, and Terance Crawford are the future of boxing

                Um, we also have Golovkin for another 3-4 good years fighting 4x a year.

                    I was just saying something similar in another thread, Pacs a world class southpaw with speed and thatll be hard preparing for...as for landin that left early, its very possible for Pac bcuz he'll be fresh, matter of fact i think Pac will try to get floyd outta there early, soon as the bell rings just jump on him.

                    As the possibility of this fight grows im more intrigued as to what Pacs game-plan will be. If anyone is to be able to execute their gameplan against floyd, its Pac.

                      ... Floyd can clinch, he can turn the fight into a hug fest... And who would be the ref? Kenny Bayless?
