Floyds only threat is Manny here is why!!

Lol. It's not "THE Philippines", you jackass. It's just 'Philippines'. You go on a map and see if it says "The Philippines", "The Germany", "The Italy" or whatever other country you think begins with "the". You saying this is as corny as your name, you Killer of Vanilla you.

 

I gave you ample time to delete this post.... Sadly you did not take it.

You sir, are an IDIOT.

It is only reffered to as "THE" Philippines stateside...

Why are you so stupid?

 

Floyd's only threat IMO is Matthysse because he throws lots of punches with smarts

 

PAC man still might have it in hime though

 

You can't even spell "refer" and clearly your family's credit can't even afford to upgrade your old ass windows laptop, because you don't even have auto spellcheck.

On top of all the miseducation and poverty going on in your family line, you even agree with me.... It's not "The Philippines". It's just "Philippines". You can agree with someone in a more gracious manner however, but you score points for addressing me formally. I will always be "Sir" to you and your peoples.

 

floyd vs pacquiao would still be the richest fight in boxing history

 

:deal

 

Pacquaio I'd say, unless you include GGG which I'm not going to. Maybe Matthysse either if he just hunted him down and threw a lot because he has knockout power and a great chin which he would need to walk through Mayweathers shots to land his own.

Pacquaio can match Mayweather in terms of speed (fast hands and fast feet, if not as good footwork as Mayweather) and stamina, which is I think overlooked sometimes as being very important vs. Mayweather. Cotto, De La Hoya and Alvarez lost partially because of stamina issues imo in that they couldn't keep up the pace and Alvarez looked to be pacing himself to me (Mayweather has a lot to do with this too obviously).

Mayweather is probably the best counter puncher around but I think his greatest stylistic advantage is against other counter punchers/non-aggressive guys (e.g. Marquez, Alvarez) because he is so fast and smart nobody can really outbox or out counter him. Judah showed speed can give him problems and the likes of Castillo, de la Hoya, Hatton and Cotto had varying degrees of success when keeping a high-tempo and pressuring, which is what Pacquaio is capable of doing for 12 rounds with speed and decent power also. Mayweather is a master of slowing the pace: he makes people think too much in the ring and makes them hesitant. Manny Steward made that point vs de la Hoya: that de la Hoya was having success when he just threw punches and didn't overthink because you aren't going to out think or out smart Mayweather.

This post got very long winded but basically I think Mayweather has a style advantage over Pacquaio who is suspect to counter punchers but I think Pacquaio brings a lot to the table that could trouble Mayweather too (hand speed and unorthodox angles, stamina and intensity, good chin if it is still ok after JMM4). Plus the simple fact that Pacquaio would be the just the best guy Mayweather has faced in that he is a sure-fire ATG. It's hard to see anybody beating Mayweather but Pacquaio probably still has the best chance.

 

Manny Steward said along the lines, it's the fact that Mayweather thinks so clearly into the latter part of fight he can adjust and adapt to his opponent easily. Also he keeps his eye contact (ala Muhammad Ali) solely on his opponent regardless of whether he get's hit or not.

It's in the details. :yep

 

Manny is not a threat to Floyd. Manny would get dominated worse than he would have a few yrs ago. The only reason Manny can even be considered is for the money. Floyd could still make big money off that fight and it would be easy work.

Too bad Arum is still alive and Manny will sign another contract with him. Also Manny is getting his ass knocked out by Rios. Mark my word on that.
