Question about Floyd and Pac styles of fighting

True but he dose land hard enough and often enough that he will force pac to change method of attack. Pac defiantly will not keep bull rushing, or one of those right hand will put him down or put him in enough trouble the floyd will finish him..

seriously how this fight will play out is anyone guess, it favors floyd because of his skill, speed and timing . Of course pac can change all of this with speed and awkward south paw style .. anything is possible .

 

Lol no it wasn't, Marquez was retreating to begin with, as soon as he felt pacquiao about to come on he planted his feet and turned over a huge hook

when has floyd ever done that? floyd is mainly a straight shooter

 

Floyd plants his feet and fires back a counter after stepping back in EVERY FIGHT.

 

He did KO Ortiz. Cotto and Mosley aren't pure come-forward fighters. They can box a little bit. Manny can only come forward. Think of the Hatton fight.

 

i used to think it would be a Mayweather shut out but after thinking more about it i think it can be a hard fought fight that will push both to the limi

 

yes it was, marquez setup a trap for many which fell right into.. That punch was not thrown out desperation but planed.

when has floyd stepped back and did that shot .. plenty .. how many time did you catch ricky hatton with a step back right hand ? two many to count.

 

atsch my bad i forgot about that ending but i think Pacquiao can box a little better than Hatton if he respects Mayweathers power

 

I've always favoured Mayweather against Pac, but with that said...

Mayweather likes to throw before or after his opponent -- he either leads with pot shots or he neutralises their attack by evading/blocking/rolling, and then shoots his own in. He doesn't often aim to throw a devastating power punch with all his weight while the opponent is throwing their own shots, because it's a risky strategy, and you might get caught yourself while attempting it. I do remember a moment where Mayweather actually was attempting to punch with his opponent and hit them while they were still throwing (the check hook moment with Hatton) but even there he was pivoting away while he threw the shot, darting off to the side.

It's very different to what Marquez did, which was to basically move forward instead of backwards, putting all his power and weight into one big right hand with mean intentions.

 

Correct. But Floyd will land it much more frequently.

This guy Victor knows what he's talking about. Not because we agree but because he's basing his logic on sense.

Some of these Pac****s are saying how Pac will outbox Floyd. wat? Pac's offensive rush will not fare well against a fighter who has longer reach, is taller, one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time, one of the greatest counter-punchers of all-time, one of the most accurate punchers of all-time. Pac is just fast. That's it. Well, rest assured, Floyd's fought plenty of fast guys before.

 

I agree it will keep landing all night unless they can focus on defending against it in camp ( i doubt it)
but i dont think Mayweather will try to KO Pacquiao with it, i mean even Marqeuz who had had 36 rounds with Pacquiao got hurt in order to land it

 

Bull**** JMM KO 64% Pac 62% Mayweather 60% if he has a poor KO % so do the KO kings, stop the hate.

 

holy fu*k atsch

it wasn't a step back counter, Marquez was retreating to begin with, the whole purpose of retreating is that you're at the advantage always, you can choose when to fight and your opponent is the one that has to be ready for anything, if you want you can just continue retreating until you you feel like striking

a step back counter is an opponent throwing a punch, you stepping away from it and THEN punching back
Marquez didn't step back when pacquiao threw, he planted his feet when pacquiao threw, thus remaining in the pocket and using the torque for the punch(torque of his body) to avoid pacquiao's punch

floyd majority of the time(other guy mentioned ricky hatton fight) he leans his face foward so he has room to do his pull counter, for that it's two different motions, he pulls back, then pushes foward completely different from marquez and a very much weaker punch

 

No to mention the fact that JMM can crouch and fire off from angles below Pac's field of vision. Big advantage. JMM also turns his head and body leftwards, whereas Floyd nearly always leans back or slips by crouching towards his right side.

 

I dont even know why you brought this up, i sure didn't say anything like Marquez was throwing out of desperation.
