Mayweather will use Mosley vs Pac as the ultimate study guide

Mosley fights nothing like Mayweather, and honestly these days Mayweather doesn't even have much of a jab. He throws a straight right, and a left hook. Mosley also throws more than 1 punch at a time, and Floyd typically never throws combinations.
Mosley is also slower, etc. I don't really see the comparison.
Besides, what if this fight looks like Pac vs DLH all over again? Pac using his speed, staying off the roped, and just smacking Mosley around? OR it could look like Pac vs Margarito. I just don't see Mosley doing any better than Marg did (hopfully better than Oscar did), and Floyd isn't going to see anything that assures him he can win.
Pac has many flaws (everybody knows this), and probably the only one at this point that could make him pay would be somebody quick and skilled like Mayweather. I think Pac would win on determination, his never give up attitude, and his work rate alone. Only way Pac loses is if he's knocked out cold IMO. Floyd could definitely do better than everybody else though

 

His never give up attitude didn't work when Morales beat that ass and it didn't work in those two draws he got as well.

 

Floyd used his jab very strongly and effectively against Marquez. I think he's saying that Floyd will see what Mosley makes effective against Manny and use that to his advantage. It's very possible. Floyd is very versatile and can adapt on a dime.

On your assessment of Manny only losing if he's stopped cold, Katsidis has at least as much determination as Manny has, but he's lost twice on points. Look at what happened to Juanma. Determination can pull you out of a sticky situation, but skills pay the bills. Meaning, determination isn't always going to stop you from being outclassed. See Morales vs Pacquiao I and Pacquaio vs. Marquez I & II. (even though Manny won one and drew the other, Marquez winning is conceivable)

 

Mayweather don't study no film of his opponents yo he got da high ring IQ he jus study his opponents in dat ring son

 

Uhhh ok. Pac's already been exposed. He's way past that stage already with a record of 52-3-2 don't you think? Roach already said Pac makes lots of mistakes and his opponents just don't see them.

 

Disagree strongly that Mosley has a decent jab

 

If that's true than I wonder what kind of strategy Roach will employ. Both Roach and Richardson said that Floyd doesn't make any exploitable mistakes. Both said that they would have to invite him into something and hope it leads him into making a mistake. I'm not sure if Manny would be the type to exploit that. That's a huge risk to take with someone that makes as many mistakes as Manny Pacquiao. Just makes me want to see this fight even more!

 

Cotto has a great jab and good speed. Mayweather could've used that fight to study Pacquiao. IMO, he's been studying Pacquiao for a while now. He has probably watched Pacquiao's old videos (which explains why Mayweather posted videos of Pacquiao losing during his teens).

 

You got a good point.

 

Let me tell you fellas. That homework was done along time ago. I mean a longtime ago. And believe me, nothings changed!

 

Of course Mayweather makes mistakes too. And like Pacquiao, the window of opportunity to exploit that mistake is small, if not smaller.

And Manny can exploit flaws and adjust quickly as well. He figure out Cotto's jab after round 1.
