Pac ripped to Clottey's body better then Cotto did, or any of Clottey's previous opponents. Who's showed that kind of body punching in recent years that Pac displayed? Name somebody please. You seem to have this delusion that Pac will ignore Mayweather's body completely. :nut
His workrate will drop because he will struggle to land anything of note without getting countered. PBF backed up iron chined and iron heart Mosley and had him scared to let his hands go because of the risk of getting hit with clean counters. PBF will do the same to Pac as well he's no different. By the mid rounds to late rounds Pac's face will be a bloody mess he busts up too easily.
He'll go to Mayweather's body, and mix up combinations. Pac and Shane aren't any different? C'mon man.. now your just blowing smoke. Shane was old and gun-shy in there and you know it. PAc is not going to stand there and let Floyd have his way. No way in hell.
Pac is a **** inside fighter that along with his not being able to fight going backwards, his lack of cutting the ring off ability, his **** defense, his head hunting style and lack of body work and jab are his biggest weaknesses.
if Pac attacked Mayweather like he did Clottey, with his head high up like that, mayweather would have easy head-target practice. I like pac for his honest fighting in the ring, good sportsmanship etc., [not holding hitting etc., like hatton in his last fight], but I always view him as an athlete before a boxer. i think he would be well advised to head hunt mayweather instead. in saying that, if they fought there would surely be a rematch, and perhaps a third, in which case age might come into it a la mosley, and mayweather might well be beaten in the end...
Did clottey ever go down from those shots? No, so how on earth does that make him the best body puncher around? Look at bute's body shot to andrade, that put him down, so why isnt anyone else saying he is the greatest body puncher around? Pacs high work rate and fast footwork, would just get neutralized by mayweathers jab. its as simple as that. and if mayweather wants to, he can throw in a right hand and knock pacs head backwards. You do realize that the fight would be exactly like mayweather judah.
The guy was wide open to the body man there was nothing magical about what Pac did. Not only that he had a **** connect % to boot. Name 10 more fights where Pac showed a dedicated body attack you can't because he doesn't have one.:deal
Shane was the bigger man with longer arms than Pac will be. PBF loves fighting guys who have shorter arms than him it will be easy work for him against a guy like Pac who is wide open and reckless.
If Clottey's easy to hit in the midsection why didn't any of his previous opponents exploit it? Pac hasn't shown a dedicated body attack in the past because he wasn't as good as he today. Obvious one. He's only a headhunter if you're thinking back to his featherweight days. He countered the **** out of Ricky Hatton. He beat Cotto with combinations to the body and head. He showed a dedicated body attack to Clottey, and he boxed the **** out of De La Hoya. Next please.
Yeah he had longer arms but he was slow and old. A young Shane would have bombed Floyd out of there. Floyd's reach advantage won't be problem bc Pac's a southpaw, and Floyd will be fighting off the front foot. Pac will keep the entire fight at his range.
The problem with pacquiao is he is pattern fighter, mayweather is an adaptive fighter....Pacquiao has leaky defense, and is there to be countered and hit... Even in the clottey fight, pacquiao was susceptiable to straight right hands and uppercuts....He did nothing to stop that....He is a pattern fighter, and a natural brawler.....That spells doom against mayweather...
