If we fight, Ill need more speed because Mayweather is fast, -Manny Pacquiao http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ap-mayweathervspacquiao How does Pacquiao plan of getting faster considering he's 31 and fighting in his 9th weight class?:huh
I don't think he means he "needs" more speed, he's just saying he'll have to use his speed and be faster then Mayweather's other opponents. Pacquiao's not the most fluent English speaker.
Possibly he will look to come in lighter. Possibly he means he's prepared to forsake damaging his man to outland him, which would obviously be a disaster...more than likely, it's just a bad translation.
I think he meant to say the same thing as you posted. Its just that this "fans" of Mayweather try to twist things around. Its like if you try to be fluent or express yourself on a diffrent language you are not used to speak alot. You will have trouble expressing yourself even though you can speak it.
Some of you guys are really sorry. Even when it comes out the mans mouth you need to find away to edit it to make it sound more favorable. The guy can express himself fine and has. Leave it for what it is.
More speed, as in "more speed than anything else". He'll still lose though, that's pretty obvious barring something special.
Floyd isn't in the KO business, he's in the sport of boxing and will rather get a UD than go rambo and go for a KO. BTW Pac hit Clottey and Cotto with clean shots and still couldn't get a KO what's the difference?
Really ! Is that why he needs more speed to deal with Floyd? Id say based on his statement Floyd is big concern for pac.
I don't think so. When you take Pacquiao's English language skills and think of him saying it... doesn't seem like a quote made with fear. Does show that he intends on fighting though or is contemplating it though.
