Those Floyd fans saying JMM beat Pac twice so Floyd will beat him easily is far from the truth. The fact is...Pac beat JMM twice and went life and death with Pac. Though it was a close fight that can go either way, there's no way those fights was too easy for JMM. IF Floyd wants to fight Pac now. He has to remember he is not fighting the Pac who fought JMM twice at lower division where he might draining himself up and not a complete fighter as he is right now. He has to remember he is fighting the Pac who made Oscar quit, ko Hatton in 2, who gave a brutal beating to Cotto, Clottey and Margarito who is much bigger than him. Floyd fighting Pac right now is really dangerous to his protected "0". That is why he is so reluctant and asking for useless OST. Pac will bring many things that were missing in all Floyd opponents in his 5 fights at welterweight.
Floyd last 5 welterweight opponents.
Shane Mosley - decent chin, power puncher but really old in his age and the lack of stamina, foot speed, etc...
Juan Manuel Marquez - well as a lightweight there is nothing we can say about him as he was not belong to this weight.
Ricky Hatton - same as above clearly not belongs to 147.
Carlos Baldomir - well you know..there is nothing to say about him how great he is.
Zab Judah - he has a fast hand maybe faster than Floyd and Pac but lacks of stamina, chin and heart.
As you can see above maybe except Mosley but he is old now. There is no comparison if you compare their level against Pac opponents here (Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito) let alone you compare them to Pac.
Pac a great southpaw, Floyd will not able to use effectively his shoulder roll stance against Pacquiao. Things missing against Floyd 5 welterweight opponents are:
Foot speed - Floyd 5 last opponents at welterweight were lacking of foot speed to mach his foot speed. So after they throw their punches Floyd countered them with 1 or 2 punches shield up and moves away then reset.
blinding 5-8 power combos with deadly accuracy - well none of that as well can do with ease repeatedly until round 12.
Stamina - we all know Pac will not fade until the end unlike some of the above.
Chin and body resistance - Pac since coming up at welterweight his punch resistance shoot up as well. Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito can't even really hurt him as close to going down. They might hurt him but he still can punch them 5-7 combos to stop them hurting him more.
Power - If Pac can hurt Cotto and Margarito with his punches. I don't see he will not hurt Floyd who is smaller than them.
So by using the above Pac attributes against Floyd. This is what I think the fight will play out.
As the bell rings, Pac and Floyd will meet at the middle of the ring. Pac looking for an opening against Floyd's superior defense, while Floyd looking to counter Pac for anything he throws. Pac throws a right jab and left straight to the body, Floyd countered him with 1 or 2 upstairs then cover up and moves away. This what I think all Pac attributes I mentioned above that lacking in Floyd previous opponents will come into play. While Floyd counters Pac with his blinding 1 or 2 well known pot shot then defense up and moves away. Pac either hits by 1 or 2 Floyd fast counters, Pac has a chin and body punch resistance that can withstand Floyd's any shots for while. While Floyd defense up and moves away, Pac has the great fast foot speed which can close the gap immediately to unleash his blinding 5-8 power combos then out while Floyd covered himself up and reset. This scenario Pac can do to Floyd in the course of 12 rounds. Its really interesting what Floyd adjustment on this scenario. If he do this till the end then I see Pac stopping him late or UD him.
