Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao vs Floyd 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather who wins?

Hmmmm.......

I've never quite got that either. KO losses from body shots whilst badly weight drained isn't anything to do with his chin - he has been in with......

Barrera x2
Morales x3
Marquez x2
DLH
Hatton
Cotto
Diaz

+ plenty of others, all with above 50% KO ratio. Not bad if you ask me!

 

Put it this way Cotto must be the 2nd hardest puncher at welterweight if we assume Mosley is the hardest since he had more effect on Margarito. Maybe Cintron has an argument...but to all intents as purposes its Cotto for deliverable power.

Manny had no problem at any point taking Cotto's punches. He was smiling and ushering him forward, even nodding in appreciation of a good shot !

 

it's something to behold isn't it?

I watched the replay of the fight solely focussing on Pac and there were times where he'd slip away from Cotto then unleash 4 or 5 punches, starting with a left hand lead before I even registered what he was doing.

For me the key is the sort of half-step feint he's got. He stays just out of range, takes half a step in and judges in that split second the best course of action. If you back off he'll follow you, if you step in he backs away and walks you onto one of his many punches (how he got the Hatton KO and Cotto 2nd KD), if you throw he slips and counters. The speed and quality of decision making is outrageous.

Before last night I had mayweather as favourite, now I just don't know. One thing I do know though is the fight has to happen, it will be a $50M purse at least. The weight will be the sticking point, but i think it will happen at 147.

 

Its the fact thats he's been stopped at lower weights than the one he'scurrently fighting in. Its usually a pretty good indicator to be fair.......

 

What was he 15 years old when he got stopped to the body?!

That was held against him all the while, his resistance was always treated as questionable. You'd never hear people talking about Pacquiao as having one of the better chins but its clear he does.

 

At 147 PBF wins - just. I think that he can outbox him at range and avoid exchanges in a boring fight enough to win rounds. More than happy to see Floyd's face be put through the threshing machine of Pacmans fist though.

 

Pacman was knocked down by a jab from Nedal Hussein in 2000

So it's pretty impressive to see him taking heavy punches from a big welterweight along with his ability to carry over his speed and power!

 

i know both are totally different fights but after watching what zab judah did to pbf for what 5 round i think pac could definetly win this!
Hes obviously a far more compelte fighter and has similar if not better speed,punching power and defence...
or maybe im reading it wrong but judah was dominating pbf easily!..early on!

 

Mayweather beats Pacquiao, I know pacman was impressive last night but hes easy to hit, I think every jab that Cotto threw at him it landed flush, Mayweather would have beaten both of them last night, As for Cotto i think he is finished just hasnt look the same since Margarito.

 

If people think PBF will be standing there looking at PAC while PAC throws his fast flurris your having a laugh. People talk about Pacmans speed, what about Mayweathers jab???? **** if Cotto just stuck to the jab he would have had a great chance.
PBF doesnt get hit either, anyone fail to notice that? How many times did Cotto land last night.
Ah i love kneejerk reactions....


PBF UD 117-111 roughly

 

Mayweather beats everyone without stepping in the ring. Pacquiao did what Mayweather should of done long ago last night.

 

Ah, I love glib responses. Cotto was setting his feet to land his jab, do you see Mayweather doing that?

 

I just think its nice to see Healy in an on-topic forum for a change......

 

Floyd is currently fave at 4/7 Manny 6/4

 

No you right, Mayweathers technique and footwork is **** when throwing a punch.
