Will Mayweather's five inch reach advantage prove to be a big problem for Pacquiao? How big of a factor do you think it will be in this match?
Won't mean a thing. Pac's usually been the smaller/shorter guy since his move up to 147, he is used to it and he has the speed on his side. Also it's not like mayweather is a lot taller, he is at most 2 1/2 inches taller.
This is what I was thinking initially but Pac is usually a lot faster than his opponents, in this case he is in with a guy who also has speed Thats why I'm starting to favor Mayweather
The man who made a name of himself by getting past huge fighters with longer reaches? Nah, I don't think it will.
Of course it will be a factor only a fool would say otherwise. Pbf isn't like all the other guys he's fought he's better it will be a factor. Pbf knows how to use his reach he knows how to fight tall. Also PAC already lunges in he will have to even more so against pbf which is a recipe for disaster especially against a master counter puncher.
Yeah but pac doesn't have to worry about FMJs punching power like he did a lot of those other fighters.
And had may stayed at lower weights as long as jmm did he'd have a lot more ko's as well, you remedial, pac vienna sausage riding ass troll.think before you $hit from your di@k holster.
It depends on how much Floyd decides to use his jab. If you don't work behind a jab your reach is meaningless. I always tthought this was one aspect of Floyd's game that was always under utilized. He doesnt set his offense behind a jab often enough. His offense consists mostly of pot shots and counters.
It will be factor, how much of a factor....its to be determine next Saturday...but as of today, I beleive it will be a factor on Pacquiao's game plan....I do think Pacquiao has the speed advantage for this fight!... And you can quote me on that one!
