After last night, what are your thoughts on Floyd vs Manny?

Floyd is going to sit back and let Pac waste all his energy and turn his own aggression against him. Ortiz comes in with a steady stance and good balance in a 164 pound body, but he was getting marked up

Pac's not going to be able to hit Floyd with his wild ****. Floyd is going to counter his ass hard when he's coming in with his feet off the ground :deal

Both Mayweather and Pacquiao are vulnerable. The Cotto fight proved a lot but it also proved at 154 isn't exactly the best weight for Mayweather.

People trying to judge Cotto vs Mayweather as Pacquiao's great future win over Mayweather seem to forget that Pacquiao vs Marquez III happened recently.

I would say that Mayweather vs Pacquiao is 50/50. All depends on how Mayweather handles Pacquiao's power and if Pacquiao plans to be aggressive all the way and keep throwing or take it to the middle. If it goes the middle then Mayweather would pick Pacquiao apart. Pac needs to pressure Mayweather to the ropes and nail him to the body over and over as Cotto did.

Pac's too wild. Pac's always off balance. Pac can't hit him. Pac's an easy fight. Pac's a hypejob.

Please explain Floyd's health risks that he keeps yapping on about.

 

Floyd by late KO/TKO. Floyd and PAC have 2 tactical rounds of not doing much which floyd would inevetably win. manny tests floyd through the earlier middle stages of the fit and ends up landing quite a lot but not enough to ever seriously trouble floyd, however much like Cotto takes 3 rounds maybe 4 in the process floyd beings landing hard clean shots while manny's success becomes limited the later the fight goes on and Floyd goes on to stop him in the rounds of 10-12 with mayweather up 3 rounds on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage

 

I wouldn't say he's reckless. Pacman can be reckless when confused or pissed off but it only happens in spurts, never consistent recklessness which isn't bad. Pacquiao can be as patient as can be though he shouldn't against Mayweather. He needs to drive Mayweather to the ropes and whack him to the body over and over. The more he nails him to the body the higher his chances of landing solid shots to the head as proven in the Cotto fight.

Mayweather is beatable if his opponent uses the perfect gameplan. Then again, Pacquiao is beatable too which keeps this fight exciting.

Sadly this fight will never happen. Arum already has Pacquiao sorted to fight Marquez a 4th time if they succeed against Bradley.

 

never going to happen.

But I am willing to concede that Mayweather picks him apart.

 

Is this *******'s automated response when it comes to breaking down a fight between Floyd and Pac?

Here lies his problem. Mosley being as old as he is without a snapping jab was able to frustrate emmanuel by working off the backfoot.

 

This was a very good fight. I can answer the OP question after June 9. Let's see how Pacquiao does with Bradley. If he comes in and dominates we'll see most of the fans and media saying Manny wins. If he struggles and still wins, people will say Floyd. And if he loses then he probably retires and he goes on with his life and Mayweather'll fight Canelo or Cotto again , or Ortiz-Berto winner. Theres no one else...

 

Maybe, but I doubt it...

 

Mosley was going defensive mode with no offensive plans whatsoever after he was hurt. Still though I've had quite a lot of people tell me that Mosley's defensive approach in that fight exposed some in Pacquiao, here's where I disagree. It's not the same to fight defensive just to survive as Mosley did than to fight defensive with plans to counter and trouble your opponent. Mosley was just going back for the sake of going back with no plans to fire anything meaningful, Mayweather would be fighting defensive while countering with solid punches. Fighting defensively like that would take a lot out of Mayweather considering he's avoiding shots with movement and still throwing and if Pacquiao commits to the body, Mayweather could tire.

What Mosley did would frustrate any fighter.
