      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.
      1. Size does mean something when your finally facing a REAL opponent. All of the opponents who were bigger than Pac, were bums. Pac never faced a young big guy in their prime. Cotto is the closest to it, and Cotto wasnt in his prime. JMM and Bradley are both the same size as Pac and their the only ones who stood and punched with him. Because of Floyd's size, and speed, if he fought the way JMM fought, he would batter Pac.

      2. Stoopidazz I never said dont give a sp angles. I said if you USE FOOTWORK ON A SOUTHPAW, YOU WILL GIVE THEM EXTRA ANGLES. If you stand with them, how Floyd stood with his other sp's, you will take away their angles. This is what JMM did. If Floyd fought like JMM, he would batter Pac.

      3. Pac let it be known that he feels he will win this fight easy. And yes he is underestimating Floyd. He is looking at Floyd, like all of Floyd's other opponents looked at him. Floyd is taking this fight serious, which gives him a slight mental edge.

      4. Yes JMM hit the canvas with the way he fought Pac, but JMM isnt half the fighter Floyd is. Bradley stood and punched with Pac, and he never hit the canvas. Because of Floyd's skills, size, speed, he would batter Pac and dominate him. I dont think it would be a risk. I also dont think he understands how easier the fight would be. If he runs, he will look like Algeri. Pac hunting him down, using footwork, and having Floyd run into shots. Running, imo, would be more riskier, than beating him up. Pac is small and weak. He fast with power, but he dont have the size advantage to bully Floyd like Marcos. Floyd should really just beat him up if he wants an easy victory.

      5. Floyd is a MOVER. But not a good boxer/mover. If u notice, guys like him and Hearns, can move around the ring, but when they throw those jabs on the outside, none of them land. Floyd doesnt land any of those punches when he runs.

      He needs his feet set, and he can outbox you from the outside or midrange. I also think Pac has better defense than Marcos, and Floyd couldnt really land on Marcos.

      6. Boxrec and tail of the tape always lie and claim that Floyd has these long arms. Everyone he fights, seems bigger, with waaay longer arms to me. I dont know who has longer reach out of him and Pac, but most likely, they are equal.

      Not only that, but Pac's footwork, makes his reach, and height greater.

        Ali and SRL used to run waaaay more people just have a habit of sweeping things like that, under the rug. Floyd never lands punches while running. He is a good mover, but not a good boxer/runner. Floyd normally stays on the outside, and outslicks df out of his opponents. With skills.
