The difference is Marquez faced him over 42 rounds Floyd's never been in the ring with him Can he learn and adapt to the speed power footwork and awkwardness within 12 rounds? Juan did it within 3 But Floyd is no Juan
Has Pacquiao ever run out of gas? We alll know Judah and Maidana 1 almost succeeded but both failed coz they ran out of gas.
Pacquiao needs to go for broke If he doesn't hes losing this If he employs the dumbass Canelo strategy hes getting embarrassed just like Canelo did Hes gotta throw caution to the wind and like Maidana did
i would tell him to grow 3-4 inches. add about 5 inches to your reach, develop a stiff hard jab, and fight fundamentally sound boxing, as Mayweathers whole game is to capatilize on his opponents mistakes. And Emanuel Pacquiao make a lot of them.
WHAT!? Floyd's only chance is staying outside and keeping Pac out of range. If Pac gets inside with how many punches he throws, hes going to be all over Floyd and will damage him. Floyd can't handle fast fighters like he handles all these slow ass ones he's been fighting the last while.
Same with oscar, when they were both fresh oscar was actually winning and ahead after 7 rounds. But he gassed, stopped using his jab because he was getting countered easier as he slowed down, and his aggression decreased and floyd started taking over. Pac can go like the energizer bunny though, he won't slow down.
Check out round 6 against Marquez, the round he got KTFO. Midway through the round Pacquiao looks to be gassed and dragging his punches. He had spent alot of energy in round 5 and then the start of round 6 to get Marquez out of there after he had hurt Marquez. Midway through round 6, Marquez starts to bust right hands on Pacquiao and he did'nt look to have the energy to fire back. Check out the round, and you'll know what I'm talking about. A good part of the reason why Pacquiao got caught with that massive short right was that Pacquiao was tired and his ability to react was suffering.
1. trash talk in the press conference 2. "Sucker Ortiz Punch" him during the 4th round and KTFO thats my blue-print..
I'd say Manny. Dedicate the fight to battered women and come out to music supporting battered women (like Floyd did v Corrales), then while Floyd is tasting his own medicine, land that pawed rangfinder jab repeatably on the big winky in the center of Floyd's forehead. :deal
make sure you outwork him each and every round, flurry at the end of every round and hope its enough to get more rounds via volume
So, implement a Leonard/Hagler type strategy? :think May is going to circle around, pot shot him to no end on route to a TKO in the 9th round. That's how I see this fight unfolding.
