Common misconception about Floyd not fighting in rhythm........

Nearly all fighters fight in rythm or constantly make the same mistakes or constantly attack in the same way. Both of those things get figured out by a good boxer, Floyd or anyone and they take advantage of them and times or figures out what punches or counters they are open to.

Pacquaio himself supposedly started watching more fight types after Marquez 2 and figuring out what mistakes his opponents made

Anyway no Pacquaio isn't outboxing Floyd I don't think his fans believe that. He may be able to punch with Mayweather though and throw tons of punches and simply out fight and/or outwork Mayweather and obviously he has the power to hurt anyone at WW. I thought this would be a really easy fight for Mayweather but his reluctancy makes me think this is closer now

 

:admin I never, ever thought this day would come. Am I tripping or is PowerPuncher actually stepping away from being the incessant Mayweather cheerleader he has always been, and actually being objective now?

Wonders will never cease. My faith in ESB has been somewhat restored.

 

Beating a guy like Floyd, you need to take him out of his comfort zone and thats different for each fighter. Floyd can fight in a lot of different styles, but he definitely prefers to fight certain ways against certain fighters. I dont think Floyd will be fighting too many guys who are physically bigger than him anymore. Guys like DLH and Castillo had some success because they could overpower him a bit.

His comfort zone against Pac is going to make him lead, maintain his distance and break Pacs rhythem coming forward with pot shots, jabs, and movement. So now with Mayweather you have to think how hes going to want to fight these guys and come up with a gameplan to make him fight the fight you want him to fight and take him out of his comfort zone.
Once he establishes his fight, he fights very well and relaxed and its hard to break him out of it. Lately it seems he tries to make his statement early offensively and then settles into a safer fight. If he fights Pac I dont see him doing that all, I see a safety first fight through the course, so somehow Pac is going to have try and make him come forward.

 

Inactivity is also going to be big factor. Floyd is getting older, his timing and fight stamina will deplete regardless of the shape he gets himself into in the gym. Inactivity is the death of any figther great or otherwise.

 

Id say a lot of stepping in to the side and angle punching in combination. Hes going to have to walk through a **** storm, because Floyd is just going to be taking steps back and back and using his long jab to stay out of range. Pac's got to use speed and move his head (alot), to get close so he doesnt get beat up.

 

I have no interest whatsoever in how I come across to anyone.

 

Pac will have to be very careful if he wants to attempt to wear out mayweather. If pac tires first before mayweather he is in deep trouble. If mayweather tires he can always use movement and his defense to make it through the fight. I dont expect roach to bet they can tire mayweather, his stamina is great but on top of that he fights so relaxed, Pac would be throwing like crazy as he usually does while mayweather is blocking, countering and throwing less and then on top of that hope that somehow mayweather gets tired first, I dont see that happening.

 

I know I'm not biased. I don't know others aren't, so I call it as I see it. When someone is continually making the same thread over and over again, slightly revising it each time but always with the same agenda... It's pretty obvious. Why else would said person be so consumed with getting this point across every few days???

 

Pac has no plan B, Mayweather has B,C,D thats what makes this fight tough for Pac, he will have to fight an aggressive fight, its just how successful can he be at getting close. Hes short and fighting a guy thats going to look to stay outside and counter him. This is something hes never really had to overcome yet while not having the physical advantages he had at the lower weights.
