Pacquiao is too fast to allow himself to get clinched like that. Hopkins couldn't do it to Calzaghe and Taylor. Why? Because of their speed. It's easy to clinch a slow fighter or a fighter who always falls forward, like Margo or Hatton, but a guy who's on his toes and in and out and throwing bombs from all angles? It's hard to clinch a guy like that. Ask Hatton, whose whole game is about fighting out of the clinch. Pac landed like 60% of his shots.
You got it all wrong, someone else's alt account. There had been talk about Manny-Floyd before. Before Pacquiao annihilated Hatton, Mayweather could've waited a day and fight Pacquiao in a few months instead he choose to fight a light weight claiming he's the p4p number 2 and he's a tune up bout. Since Pacquiao can't fight Mayweather he fought Cotto instead, he demolished Cotto and the Mayweather's ACCUSED him of using drugs with the basis of "Pacquiao is winning, so err.. must be on PEDs". Pac-May started the negotiations, May wanted a blood testing. Pac said sure as long as it's required by the NSAC, but May wanted a THIRD party meaning someone out of the commission to take their testing results. Pac even said yes to that as long as there is 30 day window offering UNLIMITED urine testing during that period (meaning they can practically test him everyday for all he cares) and blood test after the fight. May said no offering 7 days, Pac said no offering 24, and May said 14. Both fighters wouldn't budge and Pacquiao is running out of time due to the election back at his home. He fought Clottey instead. Negotiation 2 Pacquiao agreed to the 14 days just make the fight happen. Mayweather said he changed his mind and he doesn't want any cut off date. Pacquiao agreed to that as well, Mayweather lost his urged and fought his baby momma instead. :deal
Seriously if Mayweather tries to overpower Pacquiao during a clinch, Mayweather would be pushed back just like when Hatton tried to clinch and push Pacquiao back.
He never had stamina problems you just need to watch the first MAB fight where he wasnt with Ariza to come to that conclusion. And what Mosley remembered wasnt his age he simply remembered he makes money whenever floyd fights and he stopped trying and all he did for the rest of the fight was touch gloves with Floyd.
You forgot that Manny also finishes his opponents in less than 6 rounds when he was in the lower weight classes. :rofl You're moron. :good
In combinations you mean more than one punch? I think you're wrong... I'm pretty sure there will be several times in the fight that he will throw at least two punches in succession.
I disagree. I believe Mayweather will need to throw combination's, not necessarily 4-5 consecutive shots though...say 2-3 shots, then step back and throw another 2-3 shots. We've seen from Pacquiao before that, when he gets hit...he likes to attack his opponent straight away and hit them back with more. If Mayweather can adopt this strategy, at some point he could dishearten Pacquiao. Mayweather was more offensive against Mosley than he has been for years, throwing more combination's aswell. He'll have to find the right mix if he steps in with Pacquiao.
It takes an elite athlete/volume puncher with 12 round endurance to beat a pure elite boxer/counterpuncher roy jones junior beat james toney. jean pascal beat chad dawson. If zab judah had 12 round endurance he would beat mayweather. heres the thing. Pacman has 12 round endurance and hes an elite athlete/volume puncher. BUT!!! im not saying pacman is going to win because floyd can switch his game up and like the original post said. Floyd can smother pacman. Pulling off a berto vs urango kinda deal and winning on decision. Or just overwhelm him with size considering that floyd is a bigger man than pacman. this fight is a tossup for danm sure.
Exactly. He holds the trump card in this fight as well as that he can fight off his back foot and score and Pac couldn't do a damn thing about it.:deal
it sure is a tossup. Any unbiased boxing fan knows this. Only the floyd swingers are saying pac is an easy fight, floyd gonna win with ease, floyd will gonna make pac look ordinary.
You're out of your ****ing mind if you think Pac is stronger than PBF. Did you not see PBF against Mosley? He was stronger than Shane was and backed him up and pushed him around. PBF is more than strong enough to push Pac around the ring.:deal
