Originally posted by SkillspayBills View PostAfter watching all of Pac's fights since Morales I can honestly say that could very well be the case. Manny is ready to go from the first round and if you have never faced him it is like a whirlwind of violence. You have to be prepared for it. I notice he tends to be defensively responsible for the first few rounds and then opens up ever so slightly. He just can't help himself the guy was born to scrap it out.
He is a much more technical fighter these days.
Roach has to keep him in check, and not to give Floyd free shots by being reckless and gun ho.
Pacquiao is a very fast starter and Floyd is a very slow starter.
In all of Floyd's opponent Floyd has been the fitter guy, and you see his opponents work rate drop, as well as there hands.
This time Pacquiao is the fitter guy, and he fights hard for 12 rounds.
Trust me, the first 6 rounds Pacquiao will come out with a lot of energy and movement, Floyd will just look to slow him down, crowd his work and hold.
The ref will be very important, because if he lets Floyd get away with this, Pacquiao it will favour Floyd, as he is sapping his energy, making him frustrated and making the round close because there will be hardly no clean punches landed by either man.
Whether he can tire Pacquiao enough, to come on in the latter round is up for debate.
If the ref, warns Floyd and takes a point of Floyd, then Pacquiao got this easily.
Floyd will land his counter, land some straight rights and the odd combos, but Pacquiao will overwhelm his, and the pace he will set will be too high for Floyd, who will find himself fading in the latter round, where Pacquiao will take even more advantage.

Even when Floyd gets tagged (See:Mosley-Mayweather) he is downloading everything into his boxing database. Hand speed, foot speed, reach, distance, what traps work and what don't. He is is putting that all into his database and by the 5th round he is dominating.

If Floyd comes in over, Pacquiao should refuse to fight.
I wouldn't be surprised if he does come in over with all the stuff Memo has him on.
If Floyd did, and the fight has to go ahead, Arum should demand, Floyd wears the 10oz and Pacquiao wears the 8oz or the fight is off.

Another fact that is conveniently forgotten in Pac Land.
