How does Pacquiao take away mayweathers best punches?

That's not Manny's game waiting for someone to bring the fight to him. He would be like a fish out of water employing that style.

 

They're also not in the league of a PBF. Nor do they have the defense or handspeed or footwork of PBF.

 

oh he defiantly has a chance no doubt about that.. as they say the cat is out of that bag pacs power and strength .. If you go in and try over power pac you will get delt with.. He knows how to generate power from those monster legs of his .. Floyd is defiantly going to have to be on his A game for this one. I favor Floyd skill and quickness over pac's raw power and speed.

 

but Mayweather doesnt have the same punch output and offense as those guys.

 

Nah bro, you're definitely wrong. He did come forward at times after he broke down his opponents but not while they were still dangerous.

:verysad if you really believe Pac has no chance.

 

It's as much his game as it Mayweathers to stalk. We have seen Manny counter in his last 4 fights. Hoya and Diaz were both fought off the backfoot. He was very cautious and patient in those fights, yet when given the chance he let his hands go. Floyd's punching power is increased by his opponents body moving forward, Pac and Roach know this.

 

Floyd's jab is the key to this fight, Cotto looked good with his jab but did not have the discipline to keep at it. Floyd on the other hand will repetitiously use a weapon if it keeps working, especially something as easy as the jab. Manny's best chance is between Rounds 1 and 5, if he doesnt get to Floyd by that time, its over. Floyd is the ultimate rhythm fighter, once he establishes his rhythm the fight is most likely over IMO.

 

I agree. Pac's best chance is early, the first 4 rounds. If PBF figures him out it's over.

 

He doesn't need to when he lands at a near 50% clip or greater.

 

The last time Manny fought someone remotely slick was Agapito Sanchez in late 2001. When has he fought someone of that kind since then, when??

 

Manny gets hit with the left hook A LOT. Cotto landed it great the entire night. If anything, Manny gets hit with the counter left like clock work. If Floyd pumps his jab, Manny won't be able to throw the right hook over it. Unless Manny can stun Floyd, he gets UDed.

 

Agreed .. Cotto is a puncher and normally puncher expect a quick fight and don't look for the fight to go the distance. Puncher also don't don't have a back up plan if their puncher don't stop their opponents.

So after four round of pounding the smaller pac, Cotto did not know what to do when pac was still in his face throwing punches. Cotto didn't have the discipline to box when he saw pac was not going anywhere.

But floyd is going to have to stay on point from round 1 to round 12 pac appears to have improved his stamina.

 

The late Sanchez was giving him some fits. But that was due more to his roughhousing. He has n fought anyone slick like that since probably Ledwaba. Marquez was more a boxer puncher. When has Floyd fought anyone with the speed, power, workrate, intensity and chin like Pac, when??

 

It wasn't that he didn't have the discipline, he didn't have the chin to take the shots he had to when Pac solved that puzzle.

 

Cotto kept getting hit with the counter right hook when he threw his jab. Cotto ate the right hook offensively and defensively the whole night, that's why he stopped jabbing. Plus, he ate the left hand lead because he keeps elbows to far apart in his guard and you can shoot left hands (jabs or straights) between his guard all night long.

Cotto has always been susceptible to those two punches. If he had kep his feet moving and continued boxing and setting up Pac for his left hook which he landed great all night, he could have won. He fought stupidly.
