Defeating Manny Pacquiao

Good stuff, is their anyone you see with the ability to implement these guidelines sucessfully?

 

Excellent article, if a little obvious- considering tactics, and applying them are two different things entirely.

To suggest that nazim Richardson, floyd snr, nacho villa etc don't understand the geometry of a southpaw is a bit ridiculous- mannys speed is the overwhelming factor in nearly all his fights, couple that with a huge work rate and considerable power and you have a very unusually gifted southpaw who can outmanoeuvre almost anyone.

I still maintain that the only person who can beat him is may weather unless he drops off big time

 

Good article.

I think Mayweather would handle him easily. I don't think Pacman is as improved as a fighter as people like to make out since working with Roach. I think he's just at his natural weight and has a guy who knows how to condition his body correctly. He looked like an amateur against Mosley, if Mosley stepped in and threw punches after making Pacman miss it would have been a very different outcome.

 

Money May handles him? Yes.
Easily? No.

 

I started to read the first link but then I could see it was just a hate piece, I don't care about all that silly ****. Floyd is a far better technician and athlete than Pacman, I think alot of people don't realise just how good Mayweather is as a boxer due to their views being clouded by emotion. Yes the guy seems like a bit of a dick but I'm not looking to date him. Styles make fights and Mayweather is all wrong for Pac.

 

I just read it, sounds like a load of wank from someone trying to impress himself. "Mayweather expects 1,2 or maybe 3 punches so throw 5". Brilliant.

Look at Floyds balance compared to Pacquiao. Look at Floyds sense of feel and variation to his game. You say I'm emoting but I'm not, I'm telling you how I see it. I like Pacman but he has been slightly overrated I feel and Mayweather has been underrated, probably due to their personalities.
With that being said I do think Mayweather has a fear of Pacquiao and most likely was to blame for the fight not happening yet. If Pacquiao doesn't have a fear of Mayweather then he better not ever bother getting in the ring with him, because he should be afraid.
The Pacquaio since the Cotto fight might win some of the early rounds while Mayweather feels him out but that's the only success I could see for Pacman.
Pacquiao is strong and fast, so is Mayweather but as I said Mayweathers balance and coordination is on another level, he is undoubtebly a better athlete to me.

 

I actually think Marquez may beat him if he feels comfortable at the weight.
