Can Mayweather adjust Pac's punches from weird angles and position?

I believe he can, although I wouldn't begin to imagine what his gameplan would be. Pacquiao has absolutely nothing that Floyd hasn't seen before, speed of judah, power from mosley, pressure from castillo, and again weird angles from Judah. However the difference is that instead of fighting against a fighter who was very good in one aspect, Pacquiao is great at all these things.

IMO, the angles will trouble him. The speed won't. The power won't. What he'll most have to worry about is the angles coupled with the footwork. Pacquiao has great footwork, and the angles although they can be seen as amatuerish compared to a techincal fighter, will prove helpful against Mayweather since it will be hard to prepare for those angles in sparring due to the fact of it being damn near difficult having another fighter completely emulate them.

Honestly, to me the likely outcome would be a close but clear decision for Mayweather, with Pacquiao winning most of the early rounds then eventually being timed and outboxed by Mayweather. But anything can happen.

 

Pacquiao won't be enjoying the tremendous speed advantage he's been having over all his recent opponents. It's easy for them not to see something coming when Pacquiao's 3x faster then the other guy. And when/if he faces Mayweather, he'll be up against a guy with THE BEST timing in the sport to capitalize on all those weird "WRONGLY THROWN" punches.

 

i agree if Manny wasnt leagues ahead of Cotto and Margarito in speed he would have had much tougher fights toe to toe and may have lost

vs Mayweather he has a guy who is as fast or maybe even faster

plus those weird angles didnt do much to guys with great foot work like Marquez or a mobile guy like Mosley

I think Mayweather will make Manny look lost with his foot work and countering

 

Manny knows Floyd's weakness.


But so is Floyd. Prepare for WAR, but will there ever be one?

 

i dont think he can, mayweather is a counter fighter. mayweather is very hard to eat flush, manny will find out real quick that mayweather is not a face first type of fighter. mayweather style will bother manny more then manny style bothering mayweather. mayweather can fight on the inside or outside, maybe one of them punches land and it kos floyd. thats the only way i see him losing to manny, but to think manny punches at crazy angles and will land at will on floyd is silly. mayweather should be able to calm all that wild **** down, ill have a better idea after the ortiz fight. i think ortiz throws straight short punches, nothing looping or to wide like manny does i think.

 

I see Pacquiao getting pot shotted all day long. Pac has this dumb childhood tendency to lean forward when he punches which is what happens when he faces guys who rather take a punch then hit back.

 

He can and he will. You must understand that foot work takes away angles and Floyd has the best foot work in boxing and he can match Manny in foot speed and hand speed. Also a quick jab to the head and gut will off set Manny. Range is going to be very important in that fight and we all know who is the master of that.

 

When he punches at weird angles it also leaves him vulnerable. Opportunities to counter
