I loved the way Manny entered the Arena, very happy and excited. He is very confident in what he does. I am a JMM fan, but man Pac can fight. He is gonna give mayweather a run for his money. Probably will be the first time PBF faces someone that actually presents risk to him.
Is everyone happy that Pacquiao is a legitimate welter weight now.......AT LAST!!! I can't believe he got away with that nonsense for so long. Didn't Pac say that he wanted to prove he was stronger than Cotto? Then why couldn't he fight Cotto at 147?! The tale of the tape showed they were the same size. If I was Floyd I would insist on 147 (and I'm sure he will).
How amazing is it that as Pac has moved up in weight, he not only brings his punch with him. he looks as though he`s hitting harder...
gayweather should outpoint manny in a very BORING fight. Gayweather does not have the power to stop Many. That fight will be highly promoted but at the end it will be the most dissapointed fight of history. Gayweather will be running all night until he gets a decision. Who want to see that crap? If Manny does beat Gayweather he should be considered top 3 fighter of the last 60 years, right behind Ali and Sugar Robinson.
Mayweather hit the lightweight champ Marquez with like 500 shots (I don't remember but it was up there) and couldn't KO him. Need I say anything else? Oh yeah, your thread title has fear and insecurity writen all over it. I was a Psych major, I know this.
You act like Mayweather throws punches consistently. The **** are you talking about homie? Nobody's gonna knock out Pac with 1 or 2 punches. Get your facts straight. He didn't even DARE to do combinations against the smaller and less imposing JMM. Mayweather and throwing bombs shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
i meant when Pac throws his bombs, mayweather will make him miss and catch Pac off balance. thats where the KO will come from my friend!
pac will beat mayweather. may can get away with the shoulder roll when fighting fighters throwing 1-2 shots, how the hell is he going to block 4-5 punch combo from pac. plus mayweather looks good against people thats in front of him but pac will be e verywhere. sometimes i dont understand the logic of floyd fans. pac just demolished a guy that floyd avoided, floyd had close fights with oscar, close 6 rounds against hatton, and lost to castillo yet pac an atg and prime has no shot! whatever *****s pac will beat floyd, pacs style will be a nightmare for floyd.
Different weight division. Pac fought Marquez at 130 when Pac was a 130 pounder. Mayweather fought a barely 135 fighter when he did not even make weight at 144. If JMM fought Pac now at 147, it would be a mismatch with KO guaranteed except if you ask divac. Even the 130 Pac marked up JMM's face compared to the Mayweather fight.
Footwork is not faster than Pac because he does not actually move much. Upper body movement however is exceptional, like bending over, ducking, side or shoulder roll. Different kind of movement but susceptible to body punch especially borderline punches that are near the beltline.
I think that it's a great matchup. I saw Cotto hurt Manny once in the fight and Mayweather is faster than Cotto. You never know what can happen. I slightly favor Mayweather to win on points but many is almost as fast and punches from all angles. Be interesting to see what would happen if he really presses Mayweather.
