    Floyd is probably one of, if not, the best conditioned boxer today. He works hard behind the scenes and he does not waste energy in the ring. Very efficient.

      Floyd is Evil
      Pacquiao is Good.



      Which side are you on?

        A little bit of everything but I expect him to avoid standing within mid range, he'll either operate from too far out or get close enough to work Manny on the inside/ clinches.

          as i read thru comments, i already have the image of them fighting and it's one hell of a fight... unless floyd decides to run, and when he runs, his chance of winning runs with him. he can't land a decent punch while retreating and pac is relentless to retreating opponents, especially now that he has no respect on floyd's punch.

            That's why I don't understand this....

            "Floyd Mayweather will be getting out the way a lot smoother than Bradley I'll give him that, but I don't think he has the ability to keep up all that movement for 12 rounds"

            Mayweather won't have to.
            Sure mayweather is going to have to get out of the way. He'll have to move wherever he fights, inside or out, and like I said, if Pac can slow his movement like Maidana did, he's in trouble. Also, Im not saying Bradley is the same as Floyd, but I'm saying Pacquiao handled a good mover by putting him off balance, it was a good indication as to what Manny can potentially do to a fighter who moves on his feet a lot, like Mayweather is renowned for.
            Also, don't focus on just fight 2 where Bradley was trying for the KO, see fight 1 where he bent and buckled his ankles trying to avoid the onslaught.

            He may well be, I'm not dis*****g that. But like I said, If Manny can slow him with shots like Maidana did, that conditioning won't be as effective. He may not waste energy either but a lot of reflex/jerky movement can sap a fighter also. He didn't look all that energetic after the assault of Maidana 1.

                If Floyd goes toe to toe with Manny I will be very surprised. I think Manny has faster hands, but Floyd has the better timing and accuracy. I think the majority will be fought on the retreat, any clashes in the centre turn to a goose-chase.

                    The more I think about it I actually see floyd walking pac down and pac doing the moving and throwing. Remember floyd IS the bigger guy here.

                      I hope he does try to walk Pac down and get blasted from all angles Margarito style [/LOLdream]
