    butt do you think theirs a possibility of one of them not going all out so's
    their will be a second fight?
    i mean they could both retire and live the highlife for ever from the moola from two fights.
    I think Pacman is treating this a bit more personal. From Mayweather's racist insults, to PED accusations and his immature way of trash talking through social media (posting a picture of Manny knocked out) in his instagram . He's definitely going for the kill since he's not guaranteed a rematch if he loses against Mayweather.

      Excellent choice to have Lara.

      PAC can work on trying to get Lara on the ropes

      And dealing with frustration if lot of movement

      Lara is an al haymon fighter though so would like clarification that Lara is indeed sparring
      Pac

        So Pac is sparring my boy Lara? Great choice.

        Yea he can get used to the movement and the footwork but like Floyd, Lara works off his lead hand to establish range, blind his opponent and set up his straights. Also Lara has a great sense of distance and can make you think your out of punching range when your in the exact spot you want to be. He can place you where he wants you to be and make you throw the punches he wants you to throw.

        Obviously he's not as well rounded as Floyd but there is a lot that can be learned.

            i dont see the point, lara doesn't punch on the move, but he's just about always moving, floyd doesn't move that much, and can sort of punch on the move

            then there's how you stand and defend against a southpaw, it just seems like it's a waste of time when he could be perfecting his defense/offense and angles etc on the orthodox stance

            yea...

              No one guy is like Floyd. That's why he probably has 10 different ones. Each guy brings something different to the table that he will have to deal with in May.

                  There's still a large contingent of Floyd fans that think Floyd will walk PAC down
                  I do not think FMJ walking Manny down after the 4th or 5th round should be that shocking. I definitely believe if Manny gives ground, FMJ will take up the space. I believe FMJ wants want to stay close to Manny. Force mistakes.

                    Let's just calm down with the Lara thing I think. Remember when they said he was sparring Rigondeaux and that was fake.

                      It came straight from PAC's mouth during an interview, and captured on video.
