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.
Thats exactly how I see it (apart from I want Floyd to beat Pac), I think Pac has been matched up very well just recently and the best thing he ever did was make ODLH drop right down to 147, a weight he hadn't fought at for years. I have no doubt in my mind that a younger, faster Oscar who used to get up on his toes bouncing round and using the ring would have caused Pac nightmares, but he wasn't that fighter anymore and was basically a big name heavy bag for Pac to just practice on when they fought.

Floyd though is a genuine 147 fighter now, he has grown into the weight well and looks in perfect shape when he fights there. Also he is very fast and picks every shot very well and even if he doesn't quite have the speed of Pac (which i'm not sure about) his timing is waaaaaay better and we all know that Pac struggles with counter punchers and Floyd has to be the one of, if not the greatest counter puncher ever. His lead right hand vs Pac WILL cause serious trouble for the southpaw and most importantly Floyds boxing brain will be like nothing else Pac has ever faced before. I see a stoppage for Floyd around the 9th round.
