Can he throw this type of hook and this kind of combination, which Corley demostrated? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtyDlsOO98A&feature=player_embedded[/ame] Thoughts?
what you need to understand is that floyd is the better boxer but that doesnt mean he's necessarily the better fighter. if you had any doubts about this you wouldn't have posted a pac tribute.
why not? He ducks fairly well and can throw the hook at awkward angles which are difficult to time. Floyd has never seen this type of speed.
If Floyd cant deal with the speed of Judah he wont make it past Mosley and can forget about Pacquiao. I think Mosley is going to take Floyd. Hatton was competitive with Floyd and Hatton isn't as fast or as aggressive as Mosley. If Mosley just pulls a Hatton imitation he can probably win.
Reason why Floyd Sr. called from prison telling everybody not to let Floyd jr. Fight another southpaw.
If Mosley got outboxed by Forrest, Winky, Cotto and Mayorga, imagine what Floyd would do. People forget how good Hatton was before Mayweather took his soul, although hand speed wasn't that great, he had some of the best/fastest foot work in boxing, there is no way a flat footed Mosley can imitate Hatton, anyway the only reason Hatton looked good for a couple of rounds against Mayweather, is because Mayweather "carried" him and try to make it competitive, just in case their was demand for a big money rematch, just like he did with De La Hoya.
Pacquiao has better and faster right hook. If you watch Pacquiao vs Cotto watch round 7 at 2:28sec and watch that right hook land on Cotto and Cotto got stunned but recovered quick.
What most of you dont understand is that boxing is about accuracy, timing, smarts, and hitting without being hit. Honestly the only chance Pacquiao, Mosley and all the other top welterweights have of beating Mayweather is a lucky one punch kayo ala jONES-tARVER 2....Neither fighter has the skills or the ability to adjust over 12 rounds to deal with him. Mosley has never won a rematch....Pacquiao has never decisively defeated a much smaller Marquez who is easier to hit and not as great defensively. Speed and Power is okay but if you cant hit who you are fighting, you're not gonna win. Pacquiao and Mosley wont be able to land the sustained amount of punches to derail Mayweather who will control the geography of the fight.
Again, if people are still comparing the Pacquiao now vs the Pacquiao that fought Marquez, please watch and COMPARE the difference. That's like people are still comparing a 56k dial-up vs a high speed internet connection and still say both are the same.
