    Because Void is afraid, he is a coward, it's fear that is causing him to run from Pac! Void is void. Void is a woman beater and steals from the handicapped!

    2 trolls lworking together :lol:

    But I'll see if I can find a better example later, but Floyd will use his lead right and pivot in to get inside on Manny similar to hear

    Hey ******, why don't you go tell your boy to grow a pair and stop ducking Mayweather like they have been for the last 3 years?

    The cat is out of the bag now and it is all over ESPN. Bob Arum, Roach, and Pacquiao have been ducking Mayweather and continue to do so. The only "victory by proxy" going on here is for Pacquiao: His victory is that he isn't getting embarrassed and beat down into retirement by Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    When the dust settles and everybody looks back, they will remember Pacquiao as one of the biggest hype jobs in boxing history who ducked the greatest fighter of his era, Mayweather. Team Pacquiao have run out of opponents and excuses, so the truth has finally come out.

    Do you guys notice that whenever Manny get hit he usually keep his hand down and resetting his offense, but that's only if you're at a long reach range in front of him. He has a habit of trying to pull his trunk as well when he get hit. For other instance, whenever he lunges with his ambush in and out punches, you can easily reset his movement and rhythm by simply sneaking in a quick snapping jab or a straight right hand.

    He's going to feint and bait Manny to walking into straight right hands constantly. The difference between Manny and Ortiz is that, Manny isn't going to be backpedaling like Ortiz did, but he's going to try to ambush in with his jumpy style, and that won't work out too well for him. I don't think he'll lean with his head sticking out like that though because Manny could easily hit him with the straight left hand.

    yeah I know what you mean. Plus Ortiz was 164, had pretty good balance and was always in his stance and on his feet.
    Pac comes in sometimes off balanced and even having his back foot off the ground. That doesn't bode will vs Floyd

    I would hate fighting Floyd. He's one of those guys that hit you when you least expecting him to.

    Did you actually watch the entire Hatton-Gayweather fight because it sure was not pretty.


    Or you just selectively watch the highlights of Gayweather in that fight.

    Gayweather was lunging with his right and was very predictable with that right. It is like ..... here comes the right, and lunging shot as well. He was loading his punch by it was tickling Hatton. The dirty fighter even deliberately punched hatton at the back of the head at 3:48 YET WHEN hATTON DID IT, HE GOT DEDUCTED. Talk about fighting 2 opponents at the same time, Gayweather and Cortez.

    8:37 Gayweather was doing his ducking below the waist but Hatton did not press the attactk so he just looked like an idiot ducking.

    At close range isn't necessarily in the "pocket", which to me signifies being on the inside in-close with your opponent. Fighting Manny in the pocket is more what Marquez does; he ducks under the shots and lets Manny's weight fall on him, then comes up from under and over to get him on the inside with uppercuts and straight rights as he pulls out.

    But Floyd could definitely bring the fight to him.

    Is there anything that Mayweather cannot do?

    I heard someone mention that Mah=yweather is the greatest JABBER ever, the greatest offensive fighter, the best foot movement.

    Infact, there is a thread that he would KO Pac in 5-6 rounds.

    The biggest hypejob actually fought Morales, MAB, JMM at least a minimum of 2 times. Infact, the 3 Mexican's ghreatness is being gauged on how they performed against Pac.

    Gayweather fought Corrales.
