I couldn't agree more people often confuse footspeed with footwork. PBF's footwork is much better than Pac's it's not even close. Pac's footspeed is good but his footwork is awful coming in off balanced punches with his feet up in the air, his footwork is flawed.
Quit reading books fairy.... This aint no math quiz.... Pac can throw a punch with both feet off the ground and still drop you.. Your idol studies a book, Pacmans writing a new one...
Key word here. He will routinely land counters at Manny all night, and watch Manny's output slowly decrease throughout the fight.
Please stop it. Pac's footwork isn't better than PBF's no matter how much you want it to be. Pac's footwork is flawed he does so many things wrong that I don't even know where to start. Is it effective? Yes but flawed nonetheless.
How do you know Manny can handle Floyd's speed, footwork, stamina, counter punches, inside attacks, jabs, possible clinching/rough-housing for 12 rounds? Floyd doesn't watch tape but his Dad and uncle does and they did a pretty good job at dissecting Shane. I figure they can do the same for Pac. Pac and Floyd are evenly matched to me. The real question is...can Pac get over his mental weakness after random blood tests? If not, I say he gets knocked out.
Floyd was not physically dominating Mosley? atsch Because that is what it looked like to me. Mosley was getting abused physically, not just mentally. Especially in the clinch. Pacquiao does not have very good defense, and this is going to be his downfall against a fighter like Mayweater. Mayweather counters Pacquiao all fight long before stopping him late. Even a 17 year old amateur was lighting Manny up in sparring. He has ZERO defense and relies primarily on his offense. And don't give me that ******* nonsense about Manny "going easy on the kid." Going easy is no reason to take a bunch of power punches to your face. Going easy is not hurting the kid with your own punches and playing defense. Something Manny could not do without getting hit repeatedly.
Floyd mentally punished Shane.. He made Shane hesitant to throw cause he was scared to miss. Floyd used his catlike reflexes, but no it wasn't as physical as a lot of people make it out... It was a great win. We all know Pacs D has holes... We also know Floyd likes to feint and pose alot and make the other man not throw... Pac has been down in fights, losing fights, lost fights, but he doesn't give up like Shane did.. Pac is dangerous all 12 and he has the foot speed to get in and get out and leave Floyd looking for that hole... May will find it sometimes, but will it be enough to win???
Shane didn't want to get knocked out. He didn't "give up." There is a difference. When Shane would open up, he'd miss, and Mayweather would hit him with a solid 2-3 punch combination. "Giving up" is not the same as being "scared of being knocked out" when you throw. He got gun-shy because he was being hurt by Mayweather, not because he "gave up." Mosley did not want to leave the ring out on his back and went into survival mode, and that's the reality. I literally see nothing that Pacquiao can do to win his fight against Mayweather. Manny has a puncher's chance, which is really like no chance against a fighter like Mayweather. Mayweather is better on the outside, and Mayweather is better on the inside. Pacquiao's inside fight skills are non-existent as well and he is going to get abused by Mayweather in the clinch and on the inside. Freddy Roach won't be able to train for much longer because of his Parkinson's. Look for him to cash out on Manny with the Mayweather fight.
Yea thats giving up... Not trying to win=give up.... Same as what Clottey did with Pac scared of being knocked out so he didn't throw punches=giving up... Well everyone has an opinion and you know what they say about them... But it's probably because your not really thinking about it... Floyd is a better boxer Pac is a better fighter... If you can't see that Pac has the right tools to make this a fight, what's the point???
a diffrent mayweather shows up every night. You cant say who will win. I thought mosley was gonna ko floyd in 3 dont under estimate the man ego. He through a st8 right on no legs at all and kept coming forward
