    14th excuse lined up for when Pac loses.

    Whether Floyd boxes or sits down with his opponent on the inside he always wins.

      He might not walk down Pacman but SR was the one telling Floyd to keep walking to Canelo. He shoulder rolled the shiat out of Canelo and walked him down. Sr was the one directing traffic. Now I dont think that happens with Pacman. But I want to see some more interviews to get a read on Floyd.

      He always lets it be known that he wants to be aggressive. He WANTS to, but fighting bigger younger men, the fights dont play out like that. He seems like he is going to run on this one, but I want to see more interviews and see if he changes his mind.

      His best way to beat Pac, is to stand and punch with Pac like JMM. Because of his size, skills, and speed, he would beat df out of Pac. But I dont think he realizes that. He thinks that because of pac's offense, he must potshot and run.

      You NEVER use footwork on a sp because you give them extra angles. Pac already has terriffic angles. Floyd would be better off standing, and JMM and Bradley showed that its easy. Maybe not easy for them, but Bradley didnt really get bruised too bad.

      And even if he did, Floyd is twice Bradley's speed, power, skills, size. I hope Floyd realizes this. It would be amazing if he overpowered Pac, and battered him come May 2nd.

      Pac is underestimating Floyd's power. He said he takes Cotto more serious than Floyd. Which is CHEAP thinking by Pac.

      But Floyd is taking this fight serious. He says he has NEVER wanted to win a fight this bad in his life. While I dont know who will win, Mentally Floyd is in the right Place.

      Pac, like all the rest, is looking at Floyd's lack of power, and saying, this will be easy. I cant wait to see what happens!!

        Pacquiao better cut the ring or he is going to get out pointed real bad. I am not sure Pacquiao has it in him to cut the ring the way you have to against Mayweather but the advantage Pacquiao has is his speed, he might be able to make Floyd pay for the mistakes he makes unlike slower fighers Mayweather has faced in recent years.

        Pacquiao has been facing guys like Bradley recently who have hands speed while Mayweather has been facing guys like Guerrero and Maidana who are slow so Mayweather better be ready for a whole different animal than those guys.

          You seem like a good guy but I don't think you have boxed before.

          1) size and power don't mean anything to Pacquiao, he has beat up men much larger and more powerful than Floyd.

          2) don't give a SP angles? Marquez may be flat footed, but he was giving Pacquiao angles all night, constantly. An example of standing flat footed is Margarito. Floyd should certainly give Pacquiao angles.

          3) "Pac is underestimating Floyd's power. He said he takes Cotto more serious than Floyd. Which is CHEAP thinking by Pac." What makes you say this? Pacquiao and roach said Floyd is an average puncher who has brittle hands and selectively throws. This is 100% true, Cotto is a lot more dangerous of a "puncher" than Floyd.

          Your game plan of Floyd standing and trying to counter Manny takes guts, your realize Marquez has hit the canvas 5 times doing this? and been wobbled many other times? he takes risks to land big shots on Pacquiao, fortunately for him in the 4th outing he landed the big one. Terrible idea for Floyd to hope and land a big shot that Marquez managed in 40+ rounds of experience with Pacquiao. Floyd has never fought like this and never will.

          Ok, now on to Floyds strengths:

          Obviously he's hard to hit, and Manny doesn't like chasing opponents, although its obvious he used Algeri to practice against this. You can see Manny gets frustrated and neglects defense chasing Shane and Cotto near the end, these guys tasted pacs power and ran, Floyd has made running a career though so I'm sure he can find pockets to work in while running.

          reach: for obvious reasons

          Manny has been koed: he doesn't take the same risks anymore, he is a boxer puncher. The boxing part won't work

          straight right, Manny gets hit by this shot and Floyd has a good one.

            so Ali was a runner? or boxer. So floyd runs like Ali, so youre saying Floyd boxes like Ali. The goal of a competition is for someone to WIN. Im sorry you dont understand this, yeah you should just stand still in front of each other and swing away, thats not boxing either. Why work on defense in training, cause youre not supposed to use that aspect of competition, its boring to win. I guess when you get ko'd a few times you have to look at it that way. Maybe thats why he loses alot, but he looked good doing it doe. and thats all that matters, if you look good, never-mind winning. Floyd shouldnt care about winning, just looking good for the fans.....as a competitor you dont know how ****** you sound. I'd love to compete against a person like you, I guarantee im gonna win.

              Floyd, you should abandon what got you all this money and an undefeated record and become a brawler in your 48th professional fight. Nevermind defense, you should do things you normally dont do. Dont do things that will get you a win, do things that your enemies want you to do. If any of you coach young children, yeah teach them that. You see what happened to the Seahawks, when they did something different than going to their strength. Nah, you have the running back and running game, you should pass! that worked out great.

                If he runs, he's doing half of Manny's job for him. Floyd throws far less when he runs, so while he may land at a higher connect %, Manny will land more overall punches. Won't look good to the judges or the viewing audience if he starts dancing.

                And yeah, if you think for 1 second that Floyd gives a **** if this mega fight turns boring, then you're sadly mistaken.

                This is Floyd/Hatton, except imagine Hatton being able punch like an elite swarmer.

                  "Running" takes lots of stamina. I think Mayweather will mix it up in there, with movement and laying on the ropes to rest.

                  I think you will see Floyd dipping that straight left of Manny and use some clinching. He will stall the offense of Manny coming in with that tactic.

                    what power has manny shown in the last 5 years, that will have Floyd running? WHAT POWER are you guys talking about? Floyd took Mosley's best shot, the same shots that ko'd margacheato. he took maidana's best shot, which landed after the bell with no defense a, clean shot. But he needs to be worried about a guy who in recent fights have shown to not have power anymore, or maybe its because he's fighting at welterweight against a guy who's never been knocked down or out. He has nothing to run from. All he has to do is time manny "jumping" in. im convinced, he's gonna catch manny and they are gonna do it again to make this amount of money again. Cause after this payday, Manny will pay his debts and still be broke (he owes over 77milion in taxes and jesus is not going to pay it for him)
