The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

Pacquiao and it isn't even close.

 

This ones pretty easy, Manny by a wide margin considering he started out at Junior Flyweight and has won titles as high as Junior Middleweight. As much as a lot of you guys are sick of Manny or don't like talking about him, what he has accomplished in boxing is just short of a miracle.

 

Boxing ain't no game. You dont PLAY boxing!! - another bull**** quote from your idol Mayweather. Why you trying to disrespect him with this statement?

 

.... OK Floyd is one of the most skillful players in history,
very hard to find any drawbacks in his ring performance

hard but not impossible, so what would be the weakest of Floyd in your opinion?

 

the way he keeps his left by his abs, vulnerable to straight lefts and rights and right hooks

 

He is actually very predictable. Right overhand punch is like a telegraphed punch.

 

so his skill is not overrated

 

he's quite slow.i'd see his punches coming a mile off.

 

he hasnt fought the kind of opposition that could exploit his weaknesses and eludes the toughest challenges, until then the jury is out on his greatness.

 

Nope.

Actually came across a decent article outlining what makes him so difficult the other day.

Yet he is one of the most accurate punchers.

 

Another ******ed statement. If he is so slow then why is he so accurate ?

 

There is No Blueprint. :deal

His skill level is extremely overrated... He gets treated like god in terms of his boxing skill , and hes not even the smartest man in boxing right now.

His style is not that hard to figure out. Defensively he uses the shoulder roll almost exclusively. His counters basically boil down to a straight right hand over the jab or a check hook... sometimes an uppercut. He pulls his head straight back from punches which is why hes easy to hit with the jab.

Offensively, he throws basically 1 of 3 punches, a jab , a lead hook , or a lead right hand. He throws them in singles, rarely ever in combinations. He telegraphs his lead right hand before he throws it. He throws his left hook wide. If you can break down a shoulder roll D you can break Floyd down. All you have to watch out of for is his left hook, his right hand, because thats all hes' got. Watch the De La Hoya fight, Floyd could barely penetrate through a substandard defense because he doesnt know how to put punches together, and he doesnt attack the body either.

What makes Floyd (or made him) so hard to beat was his style, super tight defense, and his crazy athletic ability and speed. Even if you got a guy figured out it's not easy when he's as fast or athletic as Floyd is, when he can get punches off and get out of the way before you have a chance to return fire. But even Castillo proved that without speed, that with some solid fundamentals and a little bit of cleverness, you can make Floyd look totally beatable. It didnt take god to do it either , just Jose Luis Castillo. And even a '1 fight away from retirement' Oscar made him look completely ordinary.
