A pacquiao KO is highly unlikely in a Mayweather fight

3 things here:

-I am more of a Mayweather fan than at Pacquiao fan, but I am a fan of both.
-I am genuinely curious about this, not a diss.
-I know threads like this have been over done, but f*** it!

3 out of the 7 fights Pac had above 140 have resulted in a knock out. When you look at the details of the fights this is what it looks like behind the veil.

-De la hoya who was drained, and knocked out.
-Hatton was legit to me...beautiful knock out.(supposedly Hatton on cocaine though)
-Cotto was a late stoppage on accumulation.
-Clottey did not open up because of pac's speed.
-Margarito got busted up, but that was more because of accumulation than the power of the punches.
-Shane did not engage which is a compliment to pacquiao's speed and power. and pac scored a kd.
-Marquez was a great fight, by no means a robbery. Could have gone either way.


I just don't think that Pac is the power monster above 140 that he is marketed to be. His defense and boxing skills are underrated. He is fast as lightning, and I think he is actually noticeably faster than Mayweather when throwing punches. Mayweathers footwork and reflexes are faster.

I think that it is more likely that Pacquiao would win a decision rather than a ko. I think that Mayweather wins though, Pac won't land enough meaningful punches.

 

***** lol

well, i am calling it like I see it. Margarito could have been knocked out, and maybe cotto could have seen the final bell. These are what ifs...I am a pacquiao fan...and I order all of his fights.

 

I don't know what you use as a barometer, but imo Mayweather has a solid chin. Mayweather has been hit clean and showed no signs of being wobbled. People only remember when he gets rocked. I am not saying his chin is iron like mosley or alien like margarito, but his chin is solid.

I am not saying that Pac doesn't have good power, but rather that it is overrated above 140.

 

Floyd recovered from rd 2 because he knew how to hold on and survive. People act like Mosley just stood there and didn't try to follow up, truth is he was throwing hands. Mayweather held on and covered up. Mosley was not tired in rd 2. How would that be any different that with Pacquiao?

 

Hey man, he did the "chicken noodle soup", get it straight. lol

 

I meant that he was not wobbled every time that he has been hit clean. Of course he was rocked by mosley.
