How would Floyd deal with Pac's foot speed, awkward punch angles, and speed?

    Even if they counted the KD that wouldn't have made it 7-5 as one of the rounds Judah won was obviously the same round as the uncounted KD. That would have made the closest card 115-112. Still not terribly close, particularly in light of that being the closest card.

    You make it sound like it would make a difference.

    Instead of 116-112, 117-111 and 119-109 it would be 115-112, 116-111 and 118-109. How 'off' is that?

    No, the closest card was 8-4, not 7-5.

    Pacquiao is NOT slicker and harder to hit. Actually, Pacquiao is pretty hittable. It's his high workrate that deters his opponents from throwing more and makes him look harder to hit, not his superb defensive skills. Pacquiao is not a slick boxer.

    I don't see it.

    By whipping his ass. Only a stupid ass would ask this question. Floyd didn't need to "move" in his last two fights.

    with speed timing and effective counter punching. and his ability to adapt to a fighter is without a doubt the best in the game.

    Mayweather will continue to step over his right foot and land straight rights up top. It will help to neutralize the angles and left hand of pac. The reach will hurt manny in this fight. Besides Oscar (73), Morales (72) was the last long fisted fighter Pac encountered (okay Jorge Solis, but he was a chump/ Clottey measured at 70). Excellent defense and reach are what May has on Pac.

    Sticking to the gameplan is a big part of fighting a southpaw. If there is anyone who can adjust and keep a clairvoyant demeanor its Money. I see May dropping Pac with a straight right to the body, similar to Sharmba Mitchell fight.

    Do you think that Pac is on PEDs?

    LOL you can look no further than to the Clottey fight. Here was a guy that stood in a ONE defensive posture for an entire fight and Pac could not solve that puzzle. He won the fight b/c he was the only one doing ****. But he honestly won rounds where he landed only 4 punches out of 100. Clottey used the high guard and b/c he is not that good of a counter puncher and slower and the fact he does not have 12 round stamina is why he was only effective with his offense 30 seconds of every round. But in those brief moments he bust Pac's **** wide open.

    Now insert FLoyd.. lol now who we see has a deadly right hand that can hurt a good chin at 147 with ONE shot if he sits on it. He cracked Hatton numerous times and hurt him with it as well but thats another thread I will create about his right hand power. But Pac is a complete sucker for this punch. He literally has no defense for it other than throw a lot of shots and hope you get gun shy. Floyd has the reach advantage. The timing advantage and the size advantage. Pac dont CLINCH...lol Imagine if Mosley did not clinch a thousand times or Hatton... They would of been done in.

    When Pac gets cracked by Floyd... and he takes that first shot OK and puts his gloves up and does his fish dance.. Floyd is going to crack him with another one before he even has time to think. This would have him going back reeling.. Cotto landed good shots but Cotto poses and does not follow up. Not to mention he forsaked his old self as the body destroyer and became a head hunter(never his A game) While Pac is reeling around the ring with his shitty defensive guard Floyd has every option in the book to follow up. He can get his left hook through or a third right hand.. or the punch he will use.. The right hand to the body. He will knock all the dog **** out of Pac with a right hand body shot like he did Sharmba and that is the end of fishboy.

    He couldn't deal with Judah when Judah was on his game , meaning when he hadn't faded and was throwing punches. Floyd was looking for Judah to fade; he said so after the fight. Judah has done it before many times. He's a frontrunner.

    "solving" the "puzzle" that was Clottey's defense? Are you serious dude? The guy was just a human punching bag for 12 straight rounds. His conditioning and resistance is excellent. What would you like pacquiao to do to someone who can completely cover his entire torso? Ear muff him like he did in the early stages of the fight? This wasn't a puzzle it was a WALL and pacquiao did all he could.

    Remember how bad Clottey lost because he didn't throw punches, you have to throw punches to win a fight. Throwing punches or attempting to throw punches opens up the fight and you run the risk of getting hit. So Floyd would throw a punch and pacquiao would eat it and give three more. Either way you can't throw Clottey's defense to see how pac would do against Floyd, that's ridiculous.

    Mayweather vs Pac won't be like any fight you have ever seen (NOT even judah). Judah is a fast southpaw, that's about where all the similarities end.

    Floyd doesnt even have to extend himself to hit Pac with his right hand, and we all know Floyd has good headmovement and a brilliant jab.

    If anything HE is Pacquiaos worst nightmare, stylistically. Not the other way around.

    Here is another blind hater, I bet you have not even watched Judah - Mayweather, other than a few early flurries, Judah didn't land **** on him, nothing.

    Go ahead and watch the fight, you will be disappointed as your distant, false memory is just that, false.
    :patsch

    He dealt with him fine. They split the first four rounds and it was all Mayweather after that. Judah gets discouraged easily when he gets hit enough. Mayweather spent some time getting used to him, then hit him, and Judah got discouraged.

    I don't really know what you're looking for here. Yes, Judah had some marginal success in the early rounds, and then Mayweather beat him up. If Judah had been a different fighter Mayweather would have fought him differently, likely more cautiously at the begginning. But Mayweather knew he'd likely get caught a few times early while Judah was still fresh, but it was worth it to apply pressure to make sure Judah broke down quickly.

    It's boxing. You get hit sometimes. As long as the getting hit leads to something worthwhile, like winning, then it's a fair trade. Floyd made that trade and won comfortably.
