Marco Antonio Barrera helps break down Pacquiao VS Mayweather (Video)

^ Yes . The point is that Floyd becomes a stationary target when he's attacked. Anytime he goes into a defensive mode he plants his feet , and becomes stationary. Marquez was constantly active, moving , in and out of Pacquiao rythm. Floyd is very mechanical compared to him; and he does have a habit of fighting in lines. It's apples and oranges.

 

When Morales fought Pacquiao he caught Pacquiao's punches on his gloves then retaliated with precise right hands, as Mayweather would do.



Its hilarious that you and bogotzo keep ignoring this fight and keep going back to the Marquez fight. :rofl

 

And who has better footwork, Mayweather or Marquez?

 

because the marquez 2 fight was more recent, every fighter doesn't fight like he used to 5-10 years ago if so martinez would still suck and roy jones would still be dominating everyone

 

Floyd can beat Manny in 2 different ways. 1. Fight him close and cut off his distance. Manny needs distance. He HAS to jump in, get off, and jump out. If Floyd cuts off his distance with his better footwork Manny will go backwards and not throw. 2. Move. Manny's angles work if you give him distance to get off his punches. You move and Manny will look sloppy as hell. Floyd's right hand lead will land like crazy on Manny. Its not that hard to see.

 

Mab breakin this down is a hell lot more credible than those pretendin to know baxing!

 

Disagree. We've seen Mayweather and Marquez fight eachother and it was clear Mayweather had the better footwork. It is also obvious in how many time Marquez has been caught out of position and knocked down.

Check hook? You do know that one of Mayweathers most recognizable punches is the check hook, where he backs up, waits for his opponent to commit, lands the left hook then swivels out of harms way. I mean its how he knocked out Hatton.

Seriously have you ever seen Mayweather fight?

 

The Morales fight just proves our point further. He used a lot of lateral movement in that fight. He basically adopted Marquez strategy , he said so himself.

The best way to compare is to watch that fight or one of the Marquez fights, then watch Floyd fight any 3 of the southpaws he's faced. It becomes pretty obvious that Morales and Floyd don't fight anything alike. Morales/ Marquez are fluid, more tradional boxers , wheras Floyd is more of a potshot artist .. .he's a lot more mechanical. They also happen to be great combination punchers, which Floyd isn't.

 

No he didnt. Go watch the fight again. He fought basically in straight lines. Infact he stood right infront of Pacquiao the majority of the time.

Please show me where this lateral movement is. :roll:

Watch at 3:55 of the video. Watch how Morales loads up on the right hand and lands it repeatedly.


Morales throws the same combination. The jab and right hand. Most of the time he doesnt even throw the jab he starts with the lead right.


Have you seen this fight?

 

I agree Floyd's overly cautious approach could work against him against Pac. Floyd has very quick reflexes but you notice how he almost always reacts with slight movements or feints. Pac is the best at feinting in boxing he does it with his feet and sets up that lethal left hand. pretty much every opponent he faces falls for it and I'm 100% sure a guy like Mayweather will.

 

Past prime? :rofl

Watch from 3:30 of the video when Mayweather starts pressing for the knockout. Marquez is just as easily outclassed when Mayweather is on the attack.

Yep 6 pounds is what did it.

Marquez is known for being caught off balance and knocked down. He seems to get knocked down in every other fight.


Mayweather has never been knocked down. Mayweather has been caught off balance maybe once in his career against Judah.


If Mayweather outclassin Marquez in every area doesnt tell you about footwork, then that should.

This is how I can tell you have no idea what you are talking about.


Hatton launched a jab, Mayweather dodged it, and Mayweather while going backwards tripped over Hattons foot. The fact that despite being tripped and dodging a punch at the same time he kept his balance, is a testament to his athleticism.



This is what we call a pull counter. Its a punch Marquez doesnt have the speed, athleticism nor footwork to use. Not his fault, maybe a handful of boxers in history can
