what you think bros, a GBP/TR collaboration twin billed PAC vs FMJ and Tim vs Maidana, winners and losers fight each other...

Manny all the way..

[Carpe Diem]

Styles make fights. Unless, Manny can develop that type of rugged and dirty inside fighting aggression overnight where he use his weight and put his head on his opponent's chest and make it an ugly fight, then my stance hasn't changed one bit. Floyd by UD.

Floyd has always had trouble against those type of opponents who applies roughhousing tactics[Hatton, Castillo, Maidana, and even Cotto]. Out of 3 of those four guys, only one of them didn't applied excessive roughhousing tactics, Cotto. In order to beat Floyd decisively, you have to make it an ugly dirty fight. Manny does apply pressure, but it's mid-range pressure where he jump in and out and can easily get hit on the way in and when he has his opponent on the ropes, he gives them enough room to pivot out, etc. He doesn't fight dirty. He doesn't have a weight and size advantage where he can just push Floyd on the ropes and bullies him against the ropes.

Porter would give Floyd more problems at this point, IMO. He has a similar type of aggressive style as Maidana where he use his weight and size to pressure his opponents.

Maidana gave trouble to Floyd last night. He was troubled by the constant pressure and looked slower.

How do you all think Pac vs Floyd would play out now?

Wishful thinking.

An 8-4 or 7-5 type of fight in favor of Floyd. People get so excited when people any sort of success against Floyd and they get carried away and automatically assume that Manny fights the same way as the guy who had the type of success against Floyd.

You assumed that I assumed that. All I said is that Floyd had his hands full last night and did not dominate Maidana like what most people were expecting. It was a closer fight than what people thought it would be.

I did not say that Pac and Maidana fight the same way. However, this does make people think that should Pac and Mayweather fight today, it'll still be very competitive.

once floyd sees a flurry of 10 punches from pac, i can bet he'll run out of the ring.
