THis is just my opinion but there is no way that you can make a decision on who would win based off of this fight. People are saying pac beats pbf based off of the punch output that he displayed tonite. (This one will be easy) If you know your opponent wasnt gonna punch back and he even said that he was gonna sit there and let you punch yourself out, WHat on earth would you do keep punching right...do you really think pbf is just gonna sit there and let him do that? Just doesnt even have footwork like pbf, not even clothes. people are saying pac blasted clottey. well i guess everyone has their opinion on what blasting is but to me it would have something to do with your connect rate. Pac threw about 1200. if i remember correctly, clottey threw about 400. They both landed about the same. actually pac landing about 150 more. I am only impressed by the punch output from a stamina stand point, but i also say "damn, it took 1200 punches to only land 246. That is another reason why you cant compare pbf and clottey because if clottey cant punch that little and still land 100 odd punches, you know floyd is gonna land more and with more precision and accuracy...pac gets off balance easily especially when he misses. PBF will make him pay when he gets off balance...Not saying floyd will ko him but floyd wont just look at him either. Some people are also saying that floyd will not hurt manny because josh is bigger and stronger than floyd and couldnt do it. You dont have to be a boxing enthusiast to know that it doesnt matter about how strong you are...its about how and when you throw the punch...if it mattered that much clottey would probably have more knockouts than pbf but he doesnt...so obviously floyd has enough power...it my not be more but it is enough... Bottom line is this.... Take the fight for what it was because what pac did tonite doesnt mean he is going to do in the next fight...Just as clottey didnt do what he did in the last fight. YOu would have thought that this fight was gonna be competitive based off of his last performance but i guess not... Take this fight for what it was..human against punching bag...and leave it at that. MAybe if floyd had the same style you can compare the two but it is hard for me to understand how people can say pbf will lose cause of this performance. The only thing manny did spectacular was punch 1200 times...he wont punch that many times against pbf cause pbf wont be there. I think they both have a chance to beat each other. LAst note.. it would surprise me if arum said this in whatever fashion he wanted to say it in "clottey we need t make sure pac wins in good fashion so we can keep that money roling for our cash cow. I know you need money so on top of your purse, i will do this...." Not because pac doest deserve to win but because i dont trust arum. He ripped dallas off. Not to mention it is also hard for me to accept that clottey knows that this will be his biggest fight EVER. He sets a trend of blowing big fights. And this is the break that he has been waiting on. To alk about how you want to win to provide for your daughter and then turn around and not even attempt to fight? So what if you get knocked out? YOu will never get another opportunity this big again... make something of it! I also dont understand that if this is supposed to be manny's most dangerous fight to date, why the hell would he schedule a concert immediately afterwards. For clottey to be so dangerous manny sure knew his mouth wasnt gonna get busted up.. At any rate... good job to pacquiao for coming to fight and doing what he is supposed to do. he showed superior conditioning and made the best out of what was given to him and it is not his fault that he was the only one that came to fight. All fighters make mistakes in the ring and while i do have my negative opinions about what manny could have did better, i wont bring them up, for this his his night. Once again good job... My opinions..
Yeah I know, but I'm guilty of this sometimes too. But how can the bottom line be like 2/5 through the entire post? A bottom line should be close to the end of the post. Now near the beginning.
I agree with you. You can't say that Pacquiao will win against Mayweather just because he beat Clottey but they are both defensive boxers. Do you know why Clottey couldn't punch back? It's because he feared Pacquiao's power and speed and his re relentlessness. You're saying that 300 punches landed after throwing 1200 punches. Those 900 punches that were blocked by Clottey's arms had some effect on Clottey. He feared that Pacquiao will put him to sleep if he puts his arms down and try to punch back. I will say this Floyd Mayweather has low chance of actually hurting Manny Pacquiao no matter how accurate his punches are. It's just opinion. Clottey and Cotto are bigger punchers than Mayweather and Pacquiao ate them like they're rice.
concur, if you take the clottey-pac fight and use that to predict a possible mayweather-pac fight, it shows you dont know boxing.
great point, and i also agree with your other point that you can't compare Ali to Arreola. You're ****lin brilliant.
dont compare pbf to clottey. clottey fought pac while pbf didnt. i would only compare the two if pbf shuts his mouth up and fight pac.
you statement is inaccurate because niether cotto and clottey are big punchers to being with. while mayweather is not a heavy hitter, he is a much better counter puncher then both of those guys and hes more accurate. you get hit by a punch you dont see and it can definitely hurt you.
Thought of some other **** and didnt feel like changing it. I figure people would see the big picture of what i was typing vs the format
Hmm... I agree that Mayweather is a better counter puncher, but still doubt Mayweather will be able to hit Pacquiao like Marquez did. What do you mean Clottey and Cotto are not big punchers? Cotto has approximately have an 80% KO rate. I guess Clottey isn't as strong as Cotto but it's arguable that he is stronger than Mayweather in terms of punching power.
the difference with mayweather and clottey is this. PBF will actually attempt to counter. PBFs defense also comes from his foot movement and he will create openings. Their defensive style is totally different. PBF is using his defense to create opens. Clottey uses his defense to prove he can take a punch. Even though you say you doubt pbf will hurt manny regardless to how accurate he is...it is the same principle of what you said about clottey blocking those shots with his arms. THey will at some point take effect. It dont matter who you are. If you get hit with enough clean crisp punches, they will hurt you.
WRong person oden.. I dont speak of Arreola at all. this will be the first and last time you ever see a post from me with that name. If you dont like this post or have a problem with it or think whatever negative you want to think, there is a simple solution dont read it. I will not insult you because i am grown.
do u think pbf's shoulder roll def will be effective against pac(southpaw)? his shoulder roll is only effective against right hand punchers coz it will only hit his shoulder. i dont think pbf can block those straight punches coming from a weird angle where pbf cannot counter!
