Mayweather is considerably physically stronger than Pacquiao

I agree. I think Floyd is slightly cautious for the first half of the fight as Pacquaio is a legit opponent, but round by round, I could see him mentally breaking Pac down by intelligent aggression.

 

Even if he is stronger(which is very debatebale) , Floyd doesnt "walk people down".

He could fight a bantamweight and he wouldnt "walk them down".

He doesnt use his physically strength to win fights. And frankly looking at his build and weight, he doesnt seem particularly "strong" in a traditional sense.

Im sure if you tested him in the weights room, his numbers would be extremely low

 

it won't make any difference unless Pac for some reasons starts playing let's hug with Floyd

 

It's not the strategy that will win him this fight. Walking Pac down will be to his detriment and only puts Floyd at considerable greater risk.

 

Cotto, Maragarito, Clottey, bradley and others have been bigger than Pac, who cares. Floyd fans need to stop looking for every reason to feel confortable. Floyd's size will have little effect, punching power will be more important and guess who has more punching power? Pacman..

If this were MMA, perhaps being stronger/bigger matters but in boxing a 100 lbs man can destroy a 300 lbs man if he has more punching power. Boxing is about throwing punches, not wrestling...

 

Bradley tried walking him down in their rematch, and it didn't do him any good

also, FLoyd isn't one who is willing to take a punch to give on back, he will try to outbox Pac instead of risking getting tagged

 

Pacman has underrated strength. He stood right in front of Margarito and Cotto at times during their fights and wasn't overmatched.

 

It's maybe the only way that Pac is capable of out boxing Floyd. For one, Pac's troubles of cutting of the ring would be rendered moot. And because he wouldn't have to deal with the challenge of collapsing the distance, Pac could instead elect to use movement and pot shot Floyd with lead left hands as Floyd's coming to him, and eventually walk him into combinations. It wouldn't be much different than against everyone else who has ever tried to walk Pac down.

Consider the opposite strategy in which Floyd is baiting Pac to follow him, which is Floyd's general fighting disposition, Floyd's height and reach advantage coupled with his speed and timing puts him in the position of advantage over Pac. He'd be the one picking off his target which he is somewhat of a marksman at.

 

hard to say who is more worried, Floyd or his fans. i think it's 50/50. Floyd knows he can't cakewalk through this one. we'll see what he brings. Pac has looked better than him lately.

 

:huh Floyd always mixes between moving around and later walking to guys. This is a constant in nearly all of his fights. Nearly all of his opponents credit Floyd with being much stronger physically (not punching power), than they though he was pre-fight.
