Here is why Manny's combos will not be the end of Floyd like some think?

Floyd isn't that mobile anymore.

He will roll and counter more than move.

 

Floyds obsessed with his legacy. Thats why he thinks hes the GOAT. He'll sober up pretty soon when even Obama, Oprah and co calls him out and ask him why he wouldnt fight.

Im pretty sure if he doesnt fight Pacquiao his legacy will be left to the 10 employee trolls he has in this forum to uphold.

 

He was flat footed against Shane to get more power and to get KO. He looked flat footed against N'Dou also

 

Pac is the most accurate, fastest puncher in the biz. Every shot he throws has pop on it and his footwork is great.

He would find Floyd. How consistently and how hard would determine the winner of the fight.

 

The JMM fight is a puzzle and you're right to invoke it.

But Pac seems to be an order of magnitude more powerful at welterweight while maintaining his speed. In other words, it's apples and oranges situation. His speed advantage at welterweight has increased in a relative sense much more than what he enjoyed at the lighter divisions. In the same way he appears to have kept, and indeed enlarged upon, his power advantage.

Pac is a different animal at welterweight, so I think the JMM fight is misleading because it occurred at a much lower weight.

 

pure theory and conjecture until your man finally mans up and signs on the dotted line.

and the pac that jmm fought in 2008 is definitely not the same pac of today. pac is currently much more methodical, deliberate, and calculated when it comes to his offensive attacks as well as being so much larger and powerful than jmm now. pac was already weight-drained and struggling to make 130 at that point. just remember how pac looked like during the weigh-in for their fight.

 

Then, Lets it get it on to find out.

 

You have a great point. Which is why this fight needs to happen.

I believe the volume will be off-set by the quick acurate punches Floyd hits Manny with when he gets careless with the combos. Remember, its the punches you don't see coming that hurt the most. Floyd would time Manny and hit him before he even gets the 2nd punch off.

Manny is not greatly none for his accuracy. I think this has more to do with his last few opponents having no head movement or side to side motion. No one is more accurate than Floyd.

Manny is a powerhouse. No getting around that.

Manny has great footwork, but don't for a second think Floyd can't match his skillful footwork with his own. Oscar said it felt like their were 10 Manny's in their. He also said that right when you thought you had Floyd where you want him, he vanishes and you are where he wants you. Interesting.

 

You can say this, you can say that, could be a good assessment on your part. But not until Floyd steps in the ring and do this things that you mentioned, this article is just a bunch of theoretical crap.:deal

 

people tend to forget that before his second bout with marquez, Pac also had a hard time and couldn't finish barrera. The obvious reason is pac was severely weight drained in those fights and stylewise, he wasn't as good as he is currently today. Pac's featherweight/superfeatherweight version would be killed by todays version of pacquiao in a head to head fight

 

great points, and I agree with this analysis. But Floyd has very little margin of error with Pac.

How many of the the several hundred offensive attacks from Manny will Floyd be able to parry, to roll, to counter? Won't Pac get through occasionally? How will Mayweather react to being hit when Pac does get through

I agree that he will present problems for Manny. But he won't be perfect. And when Manny connects -- and he will -- it will have an effect. I think at somepoint Pac will stagger Mayweather and then get through his defenses and probably end the fight.

That goes both ways buddy. It hasn't stopped you from making your predictions now has it. Its called a boxing forum for a reason. IT'S THE HOME FOR THEORETICAL CRAP!atsch

 

This is true. I can't understand why people are still thinking that Floyd is still the same man as he was. :verysad
