I've always said that Pacman will KO Floyd with this same punch... (VIDEO)

Manny's never been in with someone like Floyd, but the same is true for Floyd. It goes both ways. Floyd has never seen someone with the footwork, stamina, awkwardness, aggressiveness, strategic execution and offensive variation all present in one fighter.

And Mosley did not hurt Floyd with a left hook; he threw a jab, Floyd tried to counter with a hook, and Mosley anticipated it and avoided it while countering with an overhand right. It was a fast but wide hook counter attempt and Mayweather leaned in as he often does, which you can see in those Mayweather-Marquez gifs everyone loves so much. Also don't compare Judah's **** poor discipline and ring IQ to Pacquiao's skillset at this stage in his career. If Mosley could catch Floyd twice in the same round, Pac can do it without gassing and can continue with a versatile offense. He at least has a competent chance at outworking Mayweather.

 

so does every other prizefighter who has the means.

I'd be moar worried about emmanuel eating right hands all night than Floyd's vulnerability to looping rights. The difference between Floyd and emmanuel is that Floyd TAKES away punches, see the Zab Judah fight for the clearest example. Once emmanuel eats good right hands, he'll continue to be eating them for the rest of the night.

Floyd knows looping rights have caught him in the past, he had his knees buckled in his most recent fight from one, emmanuel has a good right hook, and so Floyd will be on the lookout for that punch.

 

Couldn't keep up physically? Styles make fights and Cotto boxed Mosley for the win. Not mainly with his hands but with his FEET. Out boxing Mosley is no great feat. No way that is in ANY way applicable to this discussion because Mayweather isn't going to chase ANYONE around a ring trying to brawl/fight.

Calm down Rhonda? Please separate the sport of Boxing from styles of boxers (Pure Boxer, Brawler, Puncher, Swarmer, Hybrids, etc...). Saying someone isn't known for being a Pure Boxer is NOT saying they aren't a good/effective fighter. Morales is an ATG in Boxing, but he isn't some great Boxer. Zahir Raheem Boxed his socks off.

This is why you Pac fans make no sense. Always emotional.

 

Zab Judah also has CLEARLY superior handspeed and reflexes to Mayweather. He didn't get the wasted talent label for no reason.

emmanuell's hands are slower than Floyd. There's no competition between their reflexes.

The Zab Judah fight proves that Floyd still wins against faster opponents, and he can even take away punches coming from less common angles.

 

Your last statement is so pitiful. Nobody knows Pac's ring IQ because he never puts himself in the ring with a range of fighters.

JMM and Morales were his recent tests. Neither are Pure Boxers. Both gave him all he could handle.

 

Right now? It has been 10 years. It has taken him this long to "get it"? :huh

 

trainers can only do so much for you when you're in there with a smarter man.

Anyways, Floyd does need to watch out for the right hook. The southpaw hook is the most awkward punch in boxing.

 

How did you find that video? It's all perfectly clear now, Manny beats Floyd, proof is in this thread.

 

Like the counter on the Cotto fight round 4

 

yep that right KOed both of them...
:huh

 

You clearly see their feet come together as Floyd steps in, and is off balance and hit at the same time.

 

It was enough to KD Hatton, so it does have a little pop.

 

i don't mean to take anything from pac for that fight, but hatton was far from solid by then....but yeah it has some pop, but not one-punch KO power
