i was with you until the bolded breh..pac was still the most dangerous fight for him due to his combination of speed, which is on floyd's level, and power which is he is one of the hardest punchers in recent boxing history...and unlike canelo pacquiao never had no damn stamina issues either

yeah, I dont see how Canelo is more dangerous than Pac was.

See what you guys are getting caught up in is all this "Floyd's gonna make him look like a clown", "Floyd's gonna dominate him", "Floyd's too skilled for him":rudy:


It's not about that.



I'm more excited that Floyd actually took the challenge of fighting someone that can actually be SOME type of threat to him and the fight that fans are clamoring for. For that, I have to give him his props:props:


It's gonna be a great event, a fight that can actually be entertaining, and Floyd should be :salute: 'd for taking this fight as a 36 year old fighter.

yeah it is breh. my issue is, why do people think Canelo is more of a threat to him than anyone else? this fight was made because Canelo is perceived as a bigger threat and also, he is making more money and more heavily hyped than anyone in Floyd's range who he hasnt fought already....except for Pac who got :deadmanny:

High work rate you need stamina, to counter punch vs someone of Floyds ilk you need speed :manny:

right....we are on the same page, but talking attributes and tendencies. Guerrero had the stamina...but where was the workrate? Zab had the speed but where was the counters.

these are really good fighters. Floyd never threw the jab to the body on Zab because Zab could come over top or underneath. The point is, even if you have the attributes, Floyd never fights opponents the same way and usually takes away whatever they are good at. Zab did well early but still....he couldnt use any of his best weapons against Floyd. Same with Corrales. The only time Floyd really let a fighter get his shyt off was Castillo and Floyd was giving as good as he was getting in the 1st fight. 2nd fight, he didnt even fukk around. Castillo needs to be set. Hit him with the jab to the body and move. Gametime.

:snoop:

Hes already punch drunk. Enjoyed his fights 10 years ago :deadrose: :sitdown: more like 20 years ago. The last fight I remember of Bowes was either the beatdown of Herbie Hide or the Brawl @ MSG and I know they 15 years old

Yeah yeah I know there was a weight difference in the fight, but you had the counter puncher in Marquez who couldnt do nothing in the fight because his speed wasnt quick enough to trouble Floyd . And when Mosley caught Floyd it was from a combo (body then head) than a counter.

I suppose we might aswell throw in the old southpaw theory while we at it aswell.
