If Floyd/Pac get into a slugfest, ala Hagler/Hearns....
....who comes out on top?
This is just hypothetical as I know full well it won't turn out this way.
I will say this though: If Floyd does indeed initiate the action and push Pac back (as he did against Mosley), it will cement his legacy. HOW Floyd wins is almost as important as him winning.
Re: If Floyd/Pac get into a slugfest, ala Hagler/Hearns....
If it somehow turned into a slugfest, it would be purely Floyd's doing. So the answer is that Floyd would win on the exchanges because he wouldn't do it otherwise.
Re: If Floyd/Pac get into a slugfest, ala Hagler/Hearns....
Floyd comes out on top. He's bigger at the weight and carries it better at higher weights. If Manny stands still and slugs he loses all the power on his punches, loses his angles and things definitely swing in floyds favor.

Manny would win a slugfest which is what Pac Man should try and do to win the fight. Floyd will box and counter punch to victory otherwise.

Now that Floyd's off the juice he doesn't stand a chance.
Re: If Floyd/Pac get into a slugfest, ala Hagler/Hearns....
I can't envision Floyd wanting to fight for the sake of it. Pac would have to do like Cotto and bring it to him, but Pac himself darts in and out- He doesn't really bring the fight. He compliments fighters who brings the fight to him.

I for one will be fascinated to see how Manny handles Floyd's jab. Still having trouble believing this fight will take place but I have been telling myself and posting here that it would happen in 2015. I think lack of ware and tear through the years certainly favors Floyd at this point but despite both fighters being in the sundown of their respective careers it will still be one of the more fascinating shin digs in recent boxing history. It's bound to be a he'll of an event with great undercards and endless rang out betwixt the Floyd nuthuggers and pactards leading up to fight night. I'm looking forward to this with realistic trepidation.

Marquez won many slugfest with manny and knocked him into another weight class in their last fight.
Floyd only fights or slugs when he wants to but with manny he will be very sharp and probably the best display of boxing you will ever see if this fight ever happens.
Prince naseem would probably lay manny out in a slug fest.
A great slugger will never beat a great boxer..
Some good thoughts up there above, but im with you here.
Although theres always the punchers chance,it does happen and the odds are more than just a punchers in this case.
MAybe 66 to 44 :-/

Isnt that what every Floyd opponent tries to do? Id say a different approach would be best.
Re: If Floyd/Pac get into a slugfest, ala Hagler/Hearns....
Doubt it will but if a semi improved fighter moving up and rocked on occasion like Maidana can force a brawl with effect, see no reason why Manny isn't much sharper and sturdy. Mayweather is a great boxer..but ffs he isn't getting into a brawl by choice here. He has been caught with some 'dumb' punches also and out muscled in spots. Not like he is a ghost or something. Not made yet ? But becoming very interested
MAKE THE FOOKIN FIGHT ALREADY YOU TWO
:wc:
