Pac's not ready for Floyd....

[Dench]

I hate to admit it but let's just take a look see at who he has fought....

Pac: Hatton, De la Hoya, Cotto

None of those guys are great on defense, none of those guys have fast hands, none of those guys move their heads, none of those guys counter very well, and their footwork is very slow.

Have we been seeing an optical illusion? Does Manny look fast as hell because everyone he fights isn't that fast and so Manny looks like the Flash when he's fighting?

Whatever the reason, just looking at who he has fought building up to this fight it doesn't instill me with much confidence, I'm pulling for Pac but I have to say Floyd is going to win by KO.

I still give Manny the credits for fighting and beating those guys you mentioned. This is the reason why Pac vs Money should happen. This two guys both have the skills that we can only see once a lifetime and what a privilege to see 2 of them go at it on the ring.

Manny is fast because he's fast. Thats he main assest and everone on his camp admits right before each fight that Manny's main weapon will be speed. Hoya, Hatton and Cotto might lack speed but odd makers and fight fans did give them some advantages before the fight like Hoya being too big and will kill Pac if he hits him, or Hatton will push and bully Pac around and then Cotto will be able to absorb pac's punches. All those stuffs prove that all pac fought them at a high level of competition that it can go either way. It adds up to the excitement though.

Why is this a surprise?

He's in his 30's, if he isn't ready now then he will never be ready.

My question is: Who is ready for Floyd? Pacquaio is ready, it's a question of whether he is good enough to win. Mayweather showed a sign of himself we have never seen before in his fight with Mosley and it was impressive. He was in deep serious trouble in round 2 and instead of getting on his bike he simply went to plan B and never looked back. Pacman will have to be at the very top of his game to beat Mayweather, different angles, constant pressure, speed and power and yet i have a feeling Mayweather will find some way to counter all of this.

Pac's ready , he'd make it competitive. Let's not get in too much in the Mayweather hype. Sure , he dominated an old Mosley . Not taking anything away from PBF, but Mosley was losing to Mayorga before the ko. So its a pic em fight imo

True, Mayweather is good, but I'm not sold on the Mosley fight. There is always a way to beat a man who will not throw more than 40 punches a round.

[gest12645]

exactly , . Floyd was stunned by Mosley , and Pac is a fast starter , so he can catch Floyd early and change the whole fight. And I'll be the first one to say it

Pacman wins almost every round against Mosley .

imo pacquiao is ready

- 15 years as professional boxer (floyd 13 years)
- 56 total fights (floyd 41 fights)
- 317 total rounds boxed (floyd 299)
- 68% ko (floyd 61% ko)
- 31 years old (floyd is 33 years old)

pacquiao is even more experienced than floyd as a boxer. he's ready.
