I'm not sure why so many people are discounting Pacquiao's chances against Mayweather but here's just a few reasons as to why you shouldnt.... - Pacquaio has the fastest hands of any fighter Mayweather has faced. - Pacquiao has the fastest feet. - Hes also the sharpest and hardest puncher. - The fastest combination puncher - The best offensive fighter - The most unorthodox puncher There are more obviously, but you simply cannot say for definite who will win this fight.
I don't think Pac should EVER be written off, his last two fights have surpised most people in one way or another. But a few points here.. 1. Judah's hands were faster or at least as fast 2. Oscar hits hard than Manny, especially at 154
You can't write him off of course but the reach is clearly a major problem he'll have to sort out.. In any case, he'll need his chin to take many shots for him to get inside and land his own.
i'm not so sure about this. maybe he shouldn't be written off, ok - but, mosley or cotto would give floyd a tougher fight.
Come on Judahs hands were not as fast as Mannys are! haha! its fair enough if you dont like manny and having fast hands doesnt make him great but you discredit your argument by saying stupid comments like that. Amir Khan has phenominally fast hands and I admit that but I dont particularly rate him as a fighter.
i like Manny, but at this point in time, Mayweather beats him by UD. I think Floyd is just stong enough to be able to bang a little with Manny (or even Cotto for that matter) and then get out of the way. If Manny had not struggled with Marquez twice and lost to Morales once, maybe i'd feel differently, but Mayweather is just an entirely different "animal" for Manny to face.
The problem is closing the gap. Pac doesn't have the skills to colse the gap with out jumping to a check hook or right hand. marquez counter punching gave him hell PBF's would finish the fight. Remember JMM took no wild chances the way Hatton did and Pac would.
Pacquiao's chance to beat Mayweather was written off the day he lost to an shop worn Erik Morales, and outboxed twice by the smaller Marquez. :smoke
Cotto should not be written off.That shud b the thread title. U assume tht there gna b a Pac-Floyd match only coz you assume Pac will get past Cotto
This fight will never happen. Roach knows best. You guys all saw how wild Pac can get with his attack. He still gets off balance. JMM made him pay for that and PBF can also make him pay for it. I would love nothing else but to see PBF beat but PAc is not the one to do it. He is too wreckless and he will more than likely get Kod late after being beaten during the first half of the fight.
