If Pacquiao chases Floyd around the ring does that play into Floyds style of boxing?

[GG Marquez]

Actually Pac can Chase Floyd & Corner him. Pac is way different than any of past Floyd's opponents. Pac has the Head movements & a much quicker reflex than a Zab Judah who give Floyd some Problems for 4 rds. Problem with Zab was he lost steam after 4 rds. Pac will never lost steam. Pac will be there hunting Floyd for 12 rds if necessary.
.

Zab did not lose steam. Zab had the steam taken out of him. It was Floyd's plan to pressure Zab and to hurt him to the body. That is what took away Zab's effectiveness.

Everybody knows Zab Judah's tank will be out by rd 6th.

Floyd can't hurt Pac in the body. Pac already fought the best body Puncher at 147 in Cotto & treat Cotto's Punch like a Body massage.

People always say that. Look at the Cotto fight. If I'd said Manny will walk through his punches and laugh off his best shots, you would probably said I'm a dumbass, because the big question before the fight was how will he react when getting punched by a full-blown WW. People said he can't afford to trade with Cotto. I said you're wrong, and if Cotto trades with Manny he will come off much worse because Cotto will always be beaten to the punch by the faster fighter. People said Cotto is superior boxer. No he isn't. He beat Cotto at his own game. Some people still think the guy can't counter-punch and can't fight going backwards, too. Now some are saying he's inexperienced in cutting off a ring? Please.

Manny does something to surprise me in every single fight I can think of. I would not be surprised if he makes Floyd look ******. Honestly.

co-sign idol....i wouldnt be surprise as well... i think he will catch Mayweather like RJJ was ktfo vs Tarver.

Even Floyd's team claim that they knew Zab will gas out in the later rounds. It was part of their gameplan.

[grownfolk.us]

Not as much as trying to box Floyd in the center of the ring. Im having trouble seeing what Pacquiao can do to even get an advantage. I just see the reach advantage Floyd has being a big factor in this fight!

[S A M U R A I]

True. Floyd described Zab as a 'Front-runner', if I remember correctly?

I think Pac should do what Porter had suggested....an all out attack against Floyd. Nobody has done that to him and Pac should not worry about Floyd's potshots. Pac is best at offense....use it!

Of course, he would still be using his offense, only using it more wisely. Minimize the effectiveness of his best weapons, not just attack until he falls, but make Floyd's strengths work against him.

I think he should try it. Don't just rush in as soon as the bell rings, which I am convinced is what Floyd is prepared for.

Who is "everybody"? Nobody ever said that until Floyd said it. And then un-knowledgeable fans just repeat it. The reality is that Zab had developed a reputation as a slow starter who comes on late based on the two Spinks fights.

But noob fans will just repeat whatever Floyd says.

Here's Zab gassing out after round 6.

Mayweather knew because he had known Zab and sparred with Zab and knew Zab was vulnerable to the body.

There was no "everybody knew".

The Mayweather plan was to pressure Zab. And if you listen to the commentary, you will hear how they described an interview with Corley where Chop said that camp was all about bodywork every day.

I invite you to show the examples where people called Zab that before Floyd said it.

Sam,

SPECIFICALLY, what tactical plan would you employ for the bolded?

As I said, don't follow him around the ring and allow him to potshot all night to a points decision, which is one of the things he does best.
