Is Mayweather Jr's style no good for Pacquiao???

Exactly why i think Mayweather would stop Pac. He's throws punches in bunches, but he's always off balance, and Mayweather is one of the best counter punchers today. His timing will cause Pac to do this dance again.

 

Yeah, flush shot to the chin! It just took Pac 2 slow motion seconds to regain his composure after doing a mini chicken dance.

If anything, this video shows Pac will walk down Floyd. Brittle handed Floyd can outpoint Pac, but he won't hurt him.

 

I also thought this would be a factor, but lately Pac is been tightening down after he throws

 

Maybe I haven't watched enough of Floyd, but everytime Floyd moves it's onto the ropes where he lays there...

 

Watch the Marquez fight. He usually pivots to switch angles and rearrange himself after throwing a left hook or right hand.

Floyd isn't a stationary target.

I don't understand you emmanuel fans. How did Mayweather go from the guy who fights like a "running" ***** to the set in the ground like a tree punching bag?:huh

 

Why are you getting so defensive? Btw I'm a Cotto fan.

 

:good

 

Maybe...Manny's Jab is not bad but it's not great. JLC had a more educated jab but given Manny's quickness and athletic ability he has other options which would help him off set Floyd. JLC definitely knew how to cut off a ring....but again. Manny can pick that up in an 8 week period. Manny will need to implement a more consistant Jab if he were to get a crack at Floyd. Agian...that will be an area addressed in training camp. Manny has a great lead left and couple that with a very quick and sharp jab....it's gonna give Floyd some different looks throughout the fight that he'll have a hard time anticipating what to expect.

 

Even if Pac had a good, stiff right jab, it can't work that well against an opposite stance fighter with a significant arm length advantage. There are recent training camp videos of Pac in an orthodox stance working on a stiff left jab, but I think it's too late to be doing something that radical.

No, Pac's game plan isn't going to involve imposing his own jab on Mayweather, because he'll just get picked off on the outside and lose rounds. He has to keep FMJ's jab from taking the rounds by doing what he typically does: figure out the opponent's jab and then time it with the straight left. Of course, it's Manny's toughest task to date because FMJ's arm length and from what I've tried to find, Floyd actually disguises his jab well when he actually does jab, but generally, Manny's done well against jabs. If he does that, the Manny's chances of winning increases. Also, Manny's jab substitute is a quick lead left + circle that's more of an annoyance than something with bad intentions. He doesn't bounce so heavily anymore so it's harder to time than it was before.

Pac also has to be able to fight in close without room, because that's Floyd's other preferred range, and will close that distance and let his hands go. Also, Pac will have to either fight off Mayweather's clinch, or use it intelligently to push Mayweather into the ropes or the corner. Pac's legs are very strong, and in a holding situation, he almost never gets pushed back, and usually, Pac controls where the two fighters travel to.

 

It's definitly not an easy fight to predict....nor will it be NON competitive showing for either man.

 

Floyd doesn't do those moves on a southpaw. That's where you guys make an error. You keep thinking this is gonna be Floyd vs. Hatton or Marquez. It's a completely different style matchup.

 

If Floyd gets on his bike he loses by UD. He can't pot shot his way to an easy win in this one. Floyd will lose alot of fans if he ever lost a fight while on his bicycle

 

He doesn't do his leaping left hook on southpaws, but he did throw, pivot, and then switch angles a few times on Judah. Besides his plan was to walk down Judah and Mitchell.

 

Do I have to explain the total lack of reasoningt in this post ?

Hint.

I'll highlight the piece that wrecks your case.
