Question came out wrong. Why can't Pacquaio to do Mayweather what Judah did...but for the full 12 rounds. People are looking past his southpaw stance.
Very simple....it happened already. Floyd made the proper adjustments early and went on to dominate the fight. I think Floyd will catch on to Pac's style quite early, what will be interesting is if Pac-man can make the adjustment of making Floyd come forward and catch him coming in with right hooks. Floyd's good jab coupled with his adnormally long reach for his size give him a hell of an advantage though if he decided to work behind the jab and stay on the outside.
what adjustments did he make. isn't it more a result of judah's tendency to fade late pacquaio doesn't fade and can go for 12 full rounds unlike judah. plus, i heard that the shoulder roll doesn't work against southpaws.
No, two different fighters. However, southpaws are always difficult to deal with. That's one of Pac's advantage, but i noticed in the fight against Cotto, Pac was less effective when Cotto circled him going to his right. He did his damage to Cotto when Cotto went to his left.
Judah had success earlier when he worked in rhythm behind the 1-2 combinations. Floyd thought he could just bully his way in and land shots (like he has against the other lefties he fought) and he got caught. Floyd though has several dimensions to his defense (high guard, mid guard, lateral movement), it just isn't the shoulder roll. Floyd made the proper adjustment of keeping a high guard and throwing fast crisp accurate shots. He put on constant pressure walking him back and landing hard right hands and left hooks, which broke Judah's rhythm for the remainder of the fight. He was ready to quit in the 10th. Pac doesn't react well to going backwards. He is at his best when he is coming forward and gaining momentum for his punches. He also doesn't circle to his right away from the power hand of orthodox fighters. Which means he would be in range of one of the best straight hands ever seen in boxing. Floyd knows this and if he doesn't HE WILL see it, adjust accordingly, and take advantage of Pac's weaknesses. Pac's relentlessness and speed can make things interesting though, because he does throw punches at strange angles and as we all know pro boxers and great ones like Floyd prepare for crisp, straight punches. If Pac is able to land something PBF doesn't see I like to see how he reacts. MAKE THE DAMN FIGHT!!!
Pacquaio does so well coming forward that he doesn't need to go backwards. Also, if he didn't go backwards fighting cotto, what makes you think he will do so against mayweather. Everything esle you said makes perfect sense though
That's where the problem is......Floyd will have a puzzle with PAC b/c PAC isn't a kind of fighter with a common style or offensive format. It's spuratic and hard to predict. Now floyd could fight cautious.....just his size, speed and legs to keep away while pot shotting to a Decisions win, which is what he'll do, but believe me! PAC will find foyd and make Floyd fight like we've never seen before and I'm looking forward to it. Even though Floyd will win, I still like Floyd and know he's one of the best talents boxing has ever seen. I like PAC and feel in a FIGHT he'd best Floyd, but you can't make flyd fight unless he's cornered but he'll avoid all risk to ensure a points win over Manny.
Dont get this confused Mayweather didnt just come out and bully corley he got Rocked and felt embarrased and he stood there and Brawled until he felt he made his point that mayb where you get the bully notion. That only happened in that 1 fight. If you notice if Floyd head gets sent Back He will come back it happened in his last fight but didnt happen since corley. Thing is when he regains his pride he goes back to business as usual. Pac and Floyd will be a war Pac is going to land and when he does it a war will break out. You get a so called boring fight if pac cant land much
