Question: Can Pacman Beat PBF Going Backwards???

I really don't imagine Mayweather pushing him back. Pacquiao would get KO'd walking onto something before that happens.

 

Great observation. I forgot about that. I even myself think/thought he would counter but you are right. He does like to walk them down. Might catch Manny and Freddy off guard.

Floyd is stronger and could easily wrestle manny in clinches.



And Im a big fan of both. I just have a mayweather avatar

 

Although he's improved as a fighter, he still doesn't know how to fight on his backfoot. I don't think one can learn to fight going backwards. It's something that you're born with and pacquiao doesnt possess that kind of finesse. He's a lost puppy when being backed up.

This fight will be no different than floyd/chop chop and floyd/judah.

 

It is interesting. Back when PBF was fighting 130-35'rs he would smash that ass most often. What was his KO % back then? It was way up there, I know that.

 

P.s. To PBF fans.... Do any of ya'll know the youtube link to a highlight clip of earlier PBF work where the music kept saying "Come and get your love"?? I saw that on here once and loved that vid, to be honest.

 

Even as GOOD as that is, I thought it was a little higher, but not sure.

 

I dont think Pacquiao can beat Floyd no matter what the weight or circumstances, I think he will look sharp like Judah did early on but Floyd is a counter puncher, and Manny style plays right into that, much the way it did when Morales fought him the first time and Morales used basic boxing/counter punching to win the fight.

 

floyd beats manny. I will make a hefty bet on it.

My favourite Mayweather highlight.

 

Floyd can match Pac's footspeed and hand speed....Pac would be off balance alot...Floyd would take advantage of that...

 

I dont see Pac & Floyd fighting any time soon (hope Im wrong) but if they do, I think Mayweather outboxes him, the only worry from FMJs point of view is how long he hasnt fought, you need to be tip top vs Manny Pac, look what happened to Oscar.

 

You can dream on, make sure you wake up or else Freddy will slash you! :hat

 

Interesting observation.. but if you noticed versus DeMarcus Corley walking the southpaw down is what got him into trouble in the fourth.. after getting whacked around a little Floyd then decided to box and completely dominated afterward.

Thing is Manny is thought of more as an aggressor and the key to beating him seems to be to lay back and comeback with right hand counters. I see Floyd adopting more of a JMM strategy where he decides to box somewhat aggressively, and attempt to potshot and counter Manny all night with that stellar right hand of his.
