Floyd plays the fights and fans like a chess master... he gets paid for fights that are over before they even start@! The conditions create the fight. Hagler vs Leonard... Leonard made 12rnd and wouldn't go 15 with Hagler for good reason. He picked the ring, gloves, attendees..etc! LOL

I look at all 59 opponents that Pacman faced and all of them were respectable fighters. Pacman didn’t care who it was as long as it paid, the fighter was respectable, and the fans wanted to see it. Pacman fought whomever whenever with out hesitation.

Name a single fight that you actually thought Floyd could lose and you can’t. Floyd on the other hand just cares about money, his undefeated record, and played it safe. Floyd only fights fighters that he knows he can beat and can pad his record. All 43 of his fights are carefully selected and are safely chosen. Floyd has one weakness and that’s the right cross. Pacman is a southpaw but he is right handed. Pacman is the only fighter to have the ability to have KO power in both hands. Pacman would stun Floyd with his right cross and KO Floyd with his left.

Pacman KO’s 65 percent of the fighters he steps in the right with. Pacman bounces on his toes when he fights. So, while Floyd is standing in his Philly shell stance, Pacman will bounce in and tap him with a right cross and straight left, boom knees buckle and KO. Pacman is known as the strongest puncher left in his weight class. Opponents of Pacman have said Pacman is the strongest puncher they have ever faced and that punches from both hands feel like concrete. Pacman has lost to power punchers, which stood toe to toe punch for punch with him.

Chicken shit Floyd is not that kind of fighter. Floyd is finesse and relies on going the distance, dancing around with jabs, against carefully selected hand picked fighters. Pacman KO’s people and makes the trainers throw in the towel and makes fighters quit. Floyd would be KO’d within 10 rounds or less. Pacman is Ring Magazine number one Pound for Pound fighter in the world and is a Filipino soldier. Floyd is number two and is a finesse pretty boy that dances around the right with a jab to win by decision and has fought hand picked, carefully selected opponents, and all the big names, at the end of their careers.

On top of everything I just pointed out, I’ve seen Floyd’s interviews about Pacman. Floyd’s body language is not a man with confidence. Every time Floyd talks about Pacman he sweats a ton, he starts to swallow heavily, shake uncontrollably, stutter profusely, and exhibit bursts of nervous twitches. After seeing these things, I knew the Floyd was afraid. Before the fight even happens, Pacman has won this fight mentally.
