But people are looking for a fire fight and that's not going to happen. Stylistically, Mannys fighting style needs space. Floyds doesn't unless he is uncomfortable.
      Since when is Floyd a pressure boxer? That's Pac.

        With proper footwork it can be.negated. Moving side to side and not chase, the glaring difference is his reach, not his height.

          Floyd is beatable. I believe Paul Williams and Tommy Hearns lengthy jabs is the tool needed. PAC will have to hurt him to be effective.

            Manny will try and cut the ring off and get check hooked into the ring post.

            Pressure is Manny's best friend at this point.

              Manny is no pressure fighter. He is an in and out volume power puncher. Very dangerous. You have to pressure him or run.

                Floyd is not throwing anything unless he sees Pac punch or is down on the cards. He counter punches mostly.

                  Rewatch Marquez vs pac3. Or the first 5 rounds of Bradley vs pac2. Making a lot of the action in a phonebooth takes away from PACs natural talents

                    Imagine manny doing his trademark "straight left, slip out to the right" with a guy coming forward behind a shell defense. There's not enough room.

                      Floyd would be ****** to use the shoulder roll against Pac...he's going to use the high guard.
