That's bs he controlled the pace, why? because Pac didn't dart in and out? ever occur to you that Pac changed the game plan, he timed Floyd, caught him and unloaded on the ropes. Mayweather was a lot bigger and Pac was conscious of being wreckless against a guy who times punches brilliantly, so Pac adjusted his fight and basically controlled Floyd, always forcing him on the back foot and making him look very bad at times. Pac only has one game plan.... fight happens, Pac changes it '' Pac was controlled'' lol
Floyd controlled the pace because Manny was limited in his offense....Floyd produced right around what he typically does. Manny did land a lot more on Floyd thank most of his opponents......he just didn't control the pace with a consistent and busy work rate.
Mayweather controlled the pace in that he slowed it down and was able to fight his game better than manny being able to fight his game But I also agree ppl were expecting manny to do an algeri on Mayweather not realising that was Mayweather in the ring so he would be more cautious etc Also I think manny is more shot than floyd Floyd seems to have more left than manny which is crazy when you think ppl were saying the opposite after their previous (respective) fights
If pacman had his way, he would've thrown upwards of 70-75 punches per round. His punch output and its correlating accuracy both plummeted when he faced a guy who wasn't a stationary target and could adjust on the fly. Floyd just gave a very good example, even at the old age of 38, on what ATG ring generalship looks like.
Again, Pac was KO'ed by JMM due to timing, people expect him to be wreckless and he adapted and he actually forced the pace, he didn't let May set, May started to get comfortable and Pac would barge him back. Pac doesn't have his stamina anymore, he can't throw 100 punches per round like he did in his prime, his fight is based on his athletic blessings which have detiorated, Floyd is based on experience and timing which means he will last longer like Hopkins has, nothing more. In all of this talk, Floyd did nothing of note except get hurt, he was bossed around when Pac wanted to, he was hurt and every so often as you expect he caught Pac with a few jabs over the 12 rounds.
