    also why i see Pac losing.....Pac oly fights one way and thats Roach's plan....u take that away(meaning take away what he is trying to do)...u have nothing but raw talent who will get picked apart.

    if only floyd is as confident as you, the fight is done deal already.

    btw, Pac is a slugger (a style, right?), and i think he's better than floyd at slugging :deal

    Best post of this thread. The pressure isn't always physical, but it's always mental.

    Completely one dimensional, his punch arsenal and boxing IQ are too limited to even consider him for this ****

    I dunno if this topiX has mentioned Bute yet, but he's pretty good at bringing the ruckus. He's got a weird style.

    I think Martinez is awesome when he applies pressure, he is so rhythmic and does a good job getting off first, and stays at a pretty good range.

    no i don't think he is.

    i'd say going off your criteria, wlad is there. he breaks down opponents in the first round.

    for conventional pressure style tho, katsidis i say.

    He probably is, infact IMO, its that type of game plan, that would completely shut Pacquaio down if he could back Manny up, of coarse it wouldn't be his only way to win, but if he managed to back Manny up, stabilize his in and out motion with his jab, peck at hit off the front foot using his superior reach, whilst maintaining long range, cutting the ring down, counter punch him off the front foot, Manny would have little to no chance imo.

    One thing I will say about Mayweather on the front foot, he tends to leave his chin out a lot, he also gets hit more, understandable being that he is on the front foot, but I dont think he is as flawless on the front foot, as he is on the backfoot, infact he especially seems to get nailed by southpaw's when on the front foot, probably because with his style of defense.

    September 17th was great when Floyd applied pressure. Bump to a good thread.

    Better pressure fighters then Floyd, really? Cotto and Margo come to mind. Yes Floyd is very accurate and has good boxing ability and can press an attack if he wants to, but as an all around pressure fighter he's no where near the top. Floyd is at his best when he's defending and counter punching.

    Wouldn't say so at all. Mosley had Cottoe packing and running just to squeak out a win by 1 POINT.

    Floyd pressured and neutralized Shane.

    Your crazy boi. Floyd isn't standing in front of Manny all night and not getting tagged. Pacquiao is great with combinations and has a huge variety of punches, with speed and power. And he knows how to get inside using feints. If Floyd does what he did against Ortiz he'll have success but he's going to taste the canvas at some point, believe it.

    Your comparing the Shane that fought Cotto to the one Mayweather fought?

    Floyd is now a "pressure fighter" and a "power puncher"!:lol:
