Pac will not be able to push Floyd to the ropes like them nor does he even fight in that style.

    I would say that the best argument you could make would be referencing to the zab fight because their styles are a bit more similar (although definitely have differences). But Pac fights more of the jump in and out style like zab tried to do with Floyd. The difference though was that Pac has slowed a lot and is no where near as quick as zab was.

    It's possible that Pac can catch Floyd but it has been possible for all of his opponents to do it too. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Pac may be the best fighter Floyd has ever faced, but it definitely won't be his toughest fight. I can't see Pac winning more than 3 rounds.
    Floyds got reach on him too,he will be designing some controls around that as well earlier on.
    Manny is erratic all out with some holes in defense.
    I think more towards Marquez as the best Manny has fought.
    Floyd made Marquez look wanting but shouldn't really compare styles I suppose.
    This could easily be just the greatest show on Earth and the greatest public cash milking exercise next to carbon taxes.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Good points. Floyd's counter punching is by far the biggest factor in this fight.
