Manny has never faced a fighter with great elite hand speed.....ever

Good point

 

Of course not. He came from lightweight to WW. Those little guys are all power they got no speed

 

ledwaba..............

 

When was the last time Mayweather fought a fighter with speed and good foot work?


..... oh wait back in 2006 against Zab Judah.

Mayweather has been fighting slow plodders like Maidana 2x, Guerrero, Alvarez

 

A ban thread doesn't make you brave. Alts exist.

 

Who scored a legit kd against Mayweather, lest people forget.

 

Nobody has floored Floyd.

 

Barrera morales the marquez of years back had pretty elite speed

 

mosely, unless you want to discredit him due to his age when he fought Manny.

and guess what, Floyd was more troubled with mosely's speed than Pacquiao was. For all of Floyd's 'defensive' wizardry, Mosely almost KO'd him by connecting with two huge shots in the early rounds, one of which made Floyd's knees buckle. When Shane fought Manny, he never could land such punches so it seems to me as if speed troubles Floyd more than it troubles Manny. The other fast boxer Floyd faced was Judah and Judah, like Mosely, connected two big shots, one of which could've been ruled a knock down as Floyd's right hand touched the canvas.

more reason to be worried if i were a Floyd fan, Floyd has struggled with speed more than Manny has. Granted neither has faced many fast opponents. Floyd has cherry picked slow opponents for years and Manny has't really faced any fast opponent recently, although i would argue Bradley and Algieri are faster than Maidana.

 

You're right, he faced and beat the "Champion of the Decade." JMM.

That BS title given by sports writers is a joke by the way. I like titles being earned in the ring, not by overweight sports writers handing them out.

 

They are more knowledgeable compare to you when it comes to boxing.:deal

So,NBA and Super Bowl MVPs are nonsense.

 

I've been watching boxing for the better part of almost 30 years pal. Being a writer doesn't make you knowledgeable. That means they graduated with a degree in "journalism," not a degree in "boxing."

You probably think a news anchor knows it all huh? :rofl

 

Larryx is absolutely correct with this.. The fastest fighter i recall pacquaio fighting was a 130lb erik morales. Since then all slow moving, old plodders.. floyd is going to beat pac,its the inevitable!

 

That's why you're here. :hi:

News anchor ? They just read the teleprompter.

 

Why would I want to be a writer when I am an Engineer? Please..... LOL. I actually like to contribute to society in a meaningful way, not just run my mouth off.

Journalism is easy as hell. White papers are much harder to write and require far more research. Let me know when a sports writer is "peer reviewed" for accuracy.

Anybody who uses a sports writer as some kind of authority is a mental midget. It is just one opinion.
