manny pacquiao makes too many mistakes to beat floyd.

let me first say that i'm a huge fan of manny pacquiao, and he's an excellent fighter, great infact. he has excellent workrate, he's very fast, his stamina is phenomenal, but technically i think he's too flawed to beat floyd. i think it's actually manny offense that would be his weakness for this fight, because at times he makes mistakes when he's on the attack. he punches with both arms extended at times with no concern of his defense. at times pacquiao punches with his foot off the canvas leaving his balance exposed if he got countered.

yes pacquiao has improved over the years, but the fighters he's beating are come forward slower fighters that aren't hard to find and got overwhelmed with the speed and workrate of manny pacquiao. floyd is not a come forward fighter even though he has shown against mosley he can fight in many ways.

i really want to see the fight, but i don't think it'll be close. i think pacquiao is going to get picked off and beat very convincingly.

i wouldn't be surprised if roach and arum doesn't want this fight.

 

this is an example of what i mean. pacquaio's offense is actually going to be his weakness against mayweather.

floyd sr belives pacquiao is on drugs, he's made that clear, and apparantly was going to get sued for it, even though we haven't heard too much about that at the moment. it's roger mayweather that knows his boxing, more so than floyd sr in my opinion. you got to remember once floyd asked for a cut off date of 14 days, arum got the fight signed sealed and delivered against clottey in less than 24 hours, that means he was already putting that fight together while negotiating with floyd. pacquiao-clottey was done too quick.

 

why is pacquiao so concerned about doing the tests that floyd would also be taking? it can work both ways. i'm not talking about why the fight hasn't happened, i'm just stating my opinion with reasons in why i believe floyd will win. that's all.
