I wouldn't. Ike was quite hittable and vulnerable to the slickster types. Hardly the type of fighter that springs to mind when discussing fighters with great reflexes. Miguel "Happy" Lora would fit the bill as well as any fighter who's ever laced up the gloves, in my opinion.
It's my favorite move of his. He sticks his chin out when he throws it though, the straight and especially the left hook, but he's too quick for anyone yet to catch him.
a thing of beauty...probably my favorite move in boxing. as far as pull countering pac...afaik didn't he pull counter judah a couple of times? not saying judah is as good as pac (maybe as quick) but he did do it against a southpaw
Brought to you by Xlyocain. Side effects may include ***** tits, frequent ducking and going on "vacation" if any of these persist please call Don King immediately.
Nice. This is Floyd's bread and butter. He was able to execute it to perfection but.... ...it is easy to read. Pac/Freddie knows this. Pac throws a lot of fakes that allows him to counter himself. Furthermore, Pac is a southpaw and he will able to counter with a right hook before Floyd gets his.
Too bad the pull counter don't work against Southpaws. Unfortunately she wouldn't be able to use that against Manny and it is her best weapon. Wonder why she wont fight Manny.
It was a nice dream to have the young american as the best fighter of all time. Just does not have the complete package. All the great moves like the pull counter and the check hook are great but when you step up against the best you need heart and a chin not money and don king. What a shame. Manny has it all end of story.
He is a hype job with no chin who needs to carefully pick the right opponents so he can look great and keep his weak record without a zero in the loss column. Pull counter is by far his best weapon and it is null and void like himself against a southpaw. Check hook won't work against Manny. What else does Floyd have left. We know he has hardly any knockout power at 147. He throws few punches and no combinations. He takes amazing vacations. Oh my god they are so good.
Pull counter, lead right that is among the best in boxing which he can place to the midsection or the head with great effectiveness, left hook, counter uppercut, and a jab that is amongst the best in boxing even though he only uses it on special occassions. can fight going forward, can fight going backwards. Not to mention the best D in the game. 2 dimensional. More like operating on the 5 dimension.
Floyds best weapon against Manny will be his jab. HAving a 5 inch reach advantage, and being 2 inches taller, a tough task for Manny Pacquiao who was schooled by a slower less defensively gifted version of Floyd himself to handle. The right hand might be murderous aswell. A shot Morales beat Pacquaio to a pulp with it in their fight. Pretty much utilizing the same stance as Mayweather when he throws it.
So why not fight Manny? Why isn't he #1P4P? - for the record he is nothing go backwards. That is the secret to beating Floyd. Using angles to push him backwards. Like a coward he goes back with his chin in the air and head back. Since he hasn't fought a prime opponent under 50 in the last 5 years you won't see him exposed.
