Floyd Mayweather Jr : Pacquiao is an extraordinary fighter

Truly. Manny was thrown in with the wolves at 16yr old not just because he was small fry, but also because he needed the money to feed his family. Seriously, to feed his family and he's 16 fighting pros.

 

Pac has always been a wonderful swarmer going back to his asian circuit fights. The only thing that has changed is that Roach has managed to instill in Pac a technical ability he didn't have before. I guess it starts in the second Morales fight where Pac is suddenly using his right hand with just as much power as his left but for me the new Pac really starts to emerge in the second Barrera fight. It's a gradual progession. He's reaping the fruits of his labor right now.

 

i think the turning point in Pacs career was after Barrera 1 he saw how much he meant to his country and it somewhat inspired him if you will, i swear from that exact moment Pacs chin improved (by chin i mean will and mental fortitude).

mayweather is so full of insecurities its in plain view, the rants of why hes great, when he gets hit in a fight he feels the need to smirk every time and act like it didnt hurt this ones obvious we all know when you smile like it didnt hurt it probably hurt. floyd does care what we think no matter how much he says he dosent. And i think the guy has tremendous talent but if he thinks just because he has a 0 on his record hes a ATG hes out of his mind.

 

Being the smaller man in his last 4 fights has actually brought the best out of Pacman. Although he likes to be on the offensive mode, it made him think more in the ring, become a more effective boxer and overall utilize more of his god given gifts.

 

What he seriously lacked, before getting into his mid 20s, was mainly stamina and a good teacher/cornerman.

He slowly but surely improved on that when he found Roach and joined the Wildcard gym.

Back when he was fighting in the Philippines, Japan, Thailand and the asia-pacific circuit, his opponents always tried to weather the storm early, outpoint him by boxing, take him to the later rounds and let him gas out.

Didnt always work, because he ends the fight early, a lot of times.

He always had the offensive intensity, but he was always in danger of losing steam and being vulnerable, late.

 

Pac was not extraordinary early on, he was a diamond in the rough and it's not because he didn't have the talent and athleticism but because he lacked guidance, nutrition and the right coach - imagine if he was born into a boxing family.

 

According to Roach Pacs extraordinary run lately is due to his faith in God. Thats why Pac is always so happy going into the ring. He really believes deep down he cant be hurt because God is protecting him from being hurt (despite the result of the fight win or lose).

His faith just shows how its all mental in this game. If he really believes that then thats how it will work out.

People might not agree but if it floats Pacs boat then he should keep doing what hes doing.

 

Along came Roach.....................

 

Not taking anything away from god, but i think his streak is more do to him being one of the most if not the most gifted fighter in the world.

 

Sort of a self-hypnosis, maybe.

 

Floyd is a dumb ****.

The Mayweather stupidity gene obviously has been passed on.

 

I'm just surprised that Mayweather thinks Pacquiao is "extraordinary"! I find that extraordinary!

 

It's to do with how left handed people learn. I'm slow to start with everything but the more I practice the better I get. It's like right handed people learn quickly at first but there's a cap on how good they can get. Left handed people start slowly and keep on improving.

Check out the list of left-handed people who are not just good at what they do but are head and shoulders above the rest:
Jimi Hendrix, Leonardo Da Vinci, Robert De Niro, Matt Groening, Albert Einstein, Pele and President George Bush (ha).
