Well thought out post, and I definitely see where you're coming from. Still, I just don't feel that it is possible to suggest that Pacquiao trains smarter or better based on Floyd's success and given that his conditioning has never failed him. Floyd's hands/body wearing out on him could be based on a number of factors, genetics being one of them. That said, I wouldn't argue much deeper with you on the matter because you have a well reasoned point to stand on and it is likely that Pacquiao's method will, going forward, be the method of choice.
theyre both the same athletes- 1 and 1a- like comparing lebron and kobe in my mind. different types of atheltes- if u say whos better at other sports- athlete? then probably mayweather - he s just got a more versatile body for other sports. but this is boxing- and that matters **** all. what matters is fists, balls and chins. floyd is like kobe- (older kobe- kobe now) the polis- hed and refined athlete- does all he needs to - spectacuklar - but techiniocal perfect. has every athletic advantage over 99.999 % of guys, in the book but dosent need to rely on it necessarily. Pac is more like lebron, techncally unorthodox- dosent do it as was written- but writes his own book cos he s a freak. is full of wiry explosive fast twitch muscle- can explode in any direction with full force and fury. just a genetic monster. athletically with regards to only physical /body aspects- i.e. disregarding mental technical factors- i break it down like this: strength - PAC Power (explosive strength) - PAC speed - FLOYD quickness (speed concentrated in small movements) - PAC grace/fluidity - FLOYD flexibilty/range of motion - PAC footspeed (lateral) - FLOYD footspeed ( in and out) - PAC handspeed - equal ( i know floyd seems faster- but pacs arms are shorter- so they get there faster - same - in other words) co-ordination - equal reflexes (hand eye) - equal robustness (body) - FLOYD robustness (head) - PAC endurance/stamina - FLOYD reach - FLOYD stride - FLOYD Bulk size - FLOYD body fat - PAC balance - FLOYD pain threshhold - PAC wear and tear - PAC (advantage) cut propensity - FLOYD (adv) injury - PAC (adv) again- just my opinions- please feel free to make ur own lists and disagree- would be great to hear other opinions as long as theyre intelligently justified- rather than with hate (e.g. "floyds faster than pac- cos we both ****ed ur mum before u got home")
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2Vrg1Y25c[/ame] Floyd is probably one of the most gifted athletes ever. Nobody can do that at 1.00 onwards at least no one ive seen lately.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44xjuFRwpMM[/ame] This is also a good reason why pacquiao will not beat mayweather. Mayweather has too much of an ego. Watch 4.22 onwards. Floyd is talking to himself. WTF
Floyd is the real life clubber lang..lol. He got that me against the world **** going on in his head when he gets in the zone.
I run at midnight, its quieter and fewer cars on the road:bbb. Besides, what does time have to do with it?:huh Its the available time for me so i do it. But thats because i can no longer do it in the morning cause i've to work early.:yep Both are gym rats, and are very much dedicated to their craft.
