    Round 1 of 24 rounds. You think there aren't others? I was pointing out again, not only was Maidana just being a fighter. (Would never admit being hurt) But I was also pointing out that I didn't even need to look to find a shot that hurt him.

    Round 1. For somebody who "didn't hurt Maidana," I sure didn't have to look very hard to find one.


    When you were talking tactics, you had some excellent points. WTF happened to you dude? Why are you so caught up on "power" now? It's such a weak argument.

    As a mayweather fan Floyd shouldn't rely on his power against Pac that would be the wrong game plan.

    Yeah like he shouldn't brawl obviously but if he doesn't sit on those counter shots and make Pacquiao respect him it could be trouble for him

    Floyd counters will keep Pac at bay as long as he moves while countering.

    Once again, Mayweather has power to stun an opponent, and even perhaps hurt an opponent when he sits down on his punches... which he doesn't do often. But he doesn't have power to make someone respect it. Believe me, Pacquiao has been hurt and still won't respect your punches. Margarito, Marquez, so on so forth.

    Maidana walked down Mayweather 95-98% percent of the first fight. He didn't think Mayweather could hurt him, sorry. And even with Maidana directly in front of Floyd all night, his face still looked spotless after the fight. But, that may just go back to Floyd being defensive and not willing to stand there and engage.

    Floyd sits on that right hand when he counters, it has pop. It's going to be the straight right hand and check hook that Manny is going to need to neutralize.

    The problem is, Mayweather disguises these punches well. See the full technical breakdown video I had posted on Floyd Mayweather for details.

    You do realize that is a contradiction right? If you're stunning/hurting an opponent, they are going to respect the punch. Sorry.

    And Floyd sits on that right hand all the time. WTF are you even talking about? :huh He LAUNCHES off his rear toes and completely shifts his weight on the shot for crying out loud. Yea, but according to you he's not "sitting down on his punch." Dude... WTF?

    Honestly, I think the check hook is gonna be more important than the straight right hand

    With Pacquiao lunging in, there will plenty of opportunites to land the check hook and get out of way

    Pac will be trying to get Floyd fight a I hit you and you hit me kind of fight, Floyd should just keep the distance hitting him with sharp counters and the fight is his.

    This is certainly a possibility. I think both punches will be there for Floyd, but if I had to bet which shot had the best chance of "hurting Manny," it's going to be the check hook. He won't see it coming.

    No. Not with Pacquiao. I'll give you ONE example. Only one.

    Watch the Marquez KD and what Pacquiao did afterwords. Did he respect Marquez's power after that or no?

    There's only one instance I can think of where Pac respected power and it was against Margarito 3rd round. After the body shot, Pac got on his wheels and ran away the rest of the round. After
    though, he still engaged again.

    For Manny, i think the right hook will be more important than Pacquiao's left. Right hook will be his most important punch, IMO.

    Yes. Why do you think Manny reacts to JMM's feints? Because he IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT BEING PUNCHED? :huh

    Dude, just stop with the "Pacquiao is Superman" stuff. Yes, Manny gets hurt when he gets punched, he's not a cyborg with his pain sensory chip turned off. My God man!!!! :nut

    So by this logic Pacquiao was on steroids in the early fights? :think
