simple, work rate. No matter how good Floyd looks in the ring he can't win against Pacquiao landing only 20 Punches a round.
:yep Whoever edited that had a hell of a time trying to find footage of Floyd actually getting hit hard.
Are you crazy? Getting hit a total of 240 times. If he hit Manny like that it would look like Marquez all over again.
It's that hard to see? Pac is a BEAST is why he wins. He's fast enough to get to Mayweather, has plenty of power to crack that chin, throws enough punches to catch that chin.......Has a fantastic chin himself (so I don't see Mayweather having a shot at KOing him), he has a high workrate for the most part (hard for Floyd to win on points), and he has the attitude that if he's losing or get hits then your going to have to kill him to beat him. SO, quick review. Physichally tough, quick, strong, durable. Menatally tough, and has an attitude for fighting that we all wish Mayweather had. I got Floyd as the underdog. Only reason I'd pick him or give him 50/50 is because Floyd was bigger...These days I'm not so sure. Pac looks like a pitbull. Also Floyd is fast, and would run around the ring, but these days he can't run and he's slown down significantly IMO. Just wait for Pac to KO Marquez like nothing, and then 95% of the Mayweather fans (or people that pick him to win) will be changing there picks to Pac. never fails....
When has Floyd ever fought someone with the capabilities of a Manny Pacquiao? Zab Judah had comparable handspeed and power, and he actually enjoyed a lot of success early on. Pacquiao isn't accustomed to fading.
Too me, when you look at the guys who gave Pacquiao trouble recently, (Marquez, Morales) They have one thing in common that Floyd does not. They both knew and were willing to show that Pacquiao could not hurt them. In order for both to land the counter combos they did, often it involved getting hit. People forget, yes, Morales outboxed Pacquiao but it came with a price. He took punches in order to do so and was never the same after that. Marquez faired better afterward but he still took a ton of punishment. Floyd is not like them and will not put himself in a position where he has to do that in order to win. I think that is the reason he is wary of fighting Pacquiao. He knows he can beat him but it will involve more that good defense. Alot of the physical advantages that people say Floyd has over Pacquiao is a little exaggerated. He's taller but his arm length measured from armpit to fist is only 1 inch more. Even in the DLH fight, Pacquiao rarely was even on the inside of DLH. But the thing I think gives Floyd the most trouble is that most of even his greatest opponents are generic boxers and are predictable as far as when and where they will punch. Pacquiao fights at unpredictable angles and Floyd is liable to be caught when he isn't looking. A traditional boxer relies on thought and reflexes. While his reflexes are slowing, he still has what he knows which he used against Ortiz. But Pacquiao is the type of fighter where he will need his reflexes and can't rely soley on outhinking. There is a risk that he may not have time to think and I'm sure Roach and Pacquaio know this. And there's the risk of getting caught and I don't think Floyd's chin is as iron as people make it out to be. There is a risk involved. Yes, Floyd's chin is decent but there isn't one boxer on the face of this Earth that is invicible and Floyd knows it isn't a walk in the park even if it looks like it.
he would have to land consistently on floyd, and that shite aint happening. it like corrales all over again. floyd fights best when fighters come after him. he just stands his ground and pick off shots
The best person to answer this question would have to be Floyd. Clearly, he believes that Floyd would, at a minimum, have a very good chance of beating him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be ducking the most lucrative bout of his career.
If you think Manny has no chance of winning, you're a *****. If you see Floyd having no chance of winning, you're a *******. These are seriously two extremely talented fighters, they're no doubt going to have trouble with eachother. That being said, I think Floyd has a slight better chance of winning.
Yeah Pacquiaos going to hit Floyd, and Floyd won't hit Pacquiao. Yeah, that's how the fight goes, yeah. Floyd will get hit once and he'll become gunshy, or Pacquiao will throw so many punches that Floyd won't be able to throw back. Yeah, that's how the fight goes. All hail Pacquiao. Oh say can you see, by the.
deal:deal thats the DUMMESSED ******* sh!t I ever herd? Go back to pacland forums wit that fool! atsch
how can Floyd win running away, he only throws 1-2 punches, Mosely ran away and he lost, he even threw 1-2 punches here and there ,but still lost, so how will Floyd win when Mosely wasnt able to do anything using the same strategy?? lol
