'Pretty Boy' FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. vs. MANNY 'Pacman' PACQUAIO @ 144

he wont be able to run away from pac

 

Unless weight is an isue Pacquaio will fall victom to the Mayweather trap. The Mayweather trap is where Mayweather retreets to a cornor and luers his opoent into throwing punches in which he counters. I think Pacquaio will score early and will be ok with landing on Mayweather's sholders and back. Mayweather will be scoring with counter shots. As the fight wares on Pacquaio will start to miss Mayweather completely. Mayweather will contune to score resulting in a 10th or 11th round stopage win for Mayweather.

 

why would he run from pac hes bigger stronger a better inside fighter if he wants he can make it a pocket fight and be better off for it

 

People seem to forget that Mayweather actually has power. When he unleashes that straight right onto Pacquiao I can tell you now that will stop Pac's attack. Pac has never fought anyone like Mayweather, and Pac has struggled against boxers and counterpunchers in the past, Mayweather the king of both and if his hands are healed Pac wouldnt last 10 rounds.

 

Floyd is unbeatable from 100m to 1,000m

 

If Floyd would allow Pac to score early then the fight will be finished early.
Pac by KO in early rounds.

 

either floyd catches pac and gets the t/ko, or pac wins the judges over by consistently getting off first, workrate, and ring generalship. floyd definitely wouldn't land as many and he definitely wouldn't be dictating the fight or initiating the action. i honestly think the latter of the two would happen.

 

how's he gonna avoid the brawl?

 

Pac by KO but JMM may beat him to it!

 

fraud has laid the foundation so he can duck and dodge Pacquiao. he fears Pacquiao and will not fight him after the 36 yr old handpicked FWT is discarded. floyd has set up his excuses - won't take a 50-50 split, Pacquiao lost to Morales, Pacquiao has a bad deal with Arum, he claims Marquez beat Pacquiao, he says Pacquiao is good but he's following in his footsteps.

so any discussion about this fight is a wasted exercise. fraud gayweather is in the process and will duck Manny Pacquiao, because as some are aware, fraud will never set foot in a ring with anyone capable of brutally knocking him out, as Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, WIlliams and Pacquiao can do.

there is only one answer to this thread: Pacquiao has psyched out floyd and will be avoided as were Cotto, Margarito and Mosley.

 

C'mon now, you really think Floyd can back Pacquiao up? No I think the better question is: WILL Floyd back him up? Ask yourself this for a moment, would Floyd's style allow him to take the fight to Pac and back him up? No, it wouldnt. Ever since Mayweather went pro, his style has changed from an aggressive counter-puncher (130-135lb days) to a defensive and very cautious counterpuncher(140-147lbs). The 147lb Floyd does not like to take chances and is usually just content in making his opponents miss and counter the hell out of them. He had many fights where he can easily win the fight in the middle of the ring, but instead opted to just wait on the ropes and counter them. Hell even with the smaller Hatton, Floyd never took the chance of backing Ricky up and overwhelm him physically. Most throughout the fight, it was always Hatton coming forward and Floyd fighting on the backfoot. If he didn't back Hatton up, what makes you think he'll back up a much better fighter and perhaps the best offensive fighter in the sport in Pac?

Don't tell me Floyd would actually be strong enough to back Pac by just 1 or 2 punches? He's not that strong. Hell I don't even think he's significantly bigger than Pac, I actually think they're close in size. If Floyd really wants to be aggressive and back Pac up, he probably can do it. But my point is its not his style. Its not in his nature to do it. Have you ever seen the current Floyd engage in these higher weights as much as the 130-135lb Floyd? Its not even close. Have you ever seen him lead as much as the 130-135lb Floyd?No. I have never seen a fight of his in the higher weights that proves what I'm saying as wrong. So again, explain to me how would Floyd back up a tornado like Pac who would fight back WHILE getting hit(something Floyd rarely encountered)?

I've always said that workrate would be crucial in this fight. The lack of workrate by Floyd could really cost him this fight. For the first time, he'll be in the ring with a truly elite workrate-type of fighter. Fast and powerful and throws lots of combinations. Many of those punches are bound to get in Floyd's defensive shell and he might just get outworked to a narrow decision. Mind you, that Floyd certainly has the tools to beat Pac and would give him absolute hell. I'm not denying that, I just think Pac edges him out.

 

Floyd would stop him.

 

Doesn't need to run. Box and move will work fine.

 

you need to do more research on both fighters. plenty of fights mayweather has gotten first off first. and effectively pressure fighters. you can watch his fights with judah, corely, mitchell. and you seem to want to believe that mayweather is not strong enough to back paquiao up. but heres why you need to do your research. paquaio is not like hatton, who gonna walk you down and stay planeted. paquiao bounces frequently in and out. his style is not as physical as you think. so he can be backed up. he been backed up. like against morales and he did it with the straight right hand. that might be mayweather's best punch. and mayweather, even at higer wieghts, mayweather does stay in the pocket. thats why you're wrong with your reasoning. you seem to think mayweather just stays on the ropes. mayweather is more well-rounded then that. you cant just base mayweather on his fights with dlh, baldomir and claim he'll just wait on te ropes. that proves you dont know what you're talking about. those guys are more physical then paquiao. pac presents different types of problems mayweather. you seem to want to see that mayweather can trade with pacquiao. that is not mayweather game. and it dosent have to be. you dont need to trade with an opponent to score. pac defianbtely has a chance by outworking the conservative mayweather, but you dont see under what circumstances he has to complete this task. how are you so sure that pacquiao can take mayweather's clean punching? have you seen pacquiao fight a more accurate puncher then mayweather? has paquiao been hit flush at 140 and above? you dont see all the unasnwered questions for mayweather. futhermore he ever been in the ring with a fighter as elusive as mayweather? too many unaswered questions for paquiao to outright pick him to win, unless you just rooting for him as a fan or you really want mayweather to lose. pac is a live underdog but still an underdog. mayweather has the style to give pacquiao a rough time an ultimately knock him out. howeveer, pacquiao, if he can walk through the fire, can pull off the upset by persistance and effecitve agression and beat mayweather on pts kind of like duran did to leonard in their first meetting. but most likely, mayweathe beats him. the guy mayweather dosne t want to see is mosley. mosley is the guy who can give mayweather the most hell.

 

posibily but I don't think Pacquaio will land enough to make it happen but an early stopage is Pacquaio's best chance.
