    Good video, But you're way off on your analysis.

    1) The JLC fight was like 8 yrs ago, and Mayweather was injured. With that said he still beat him twice, no problem in the rematch.

    2) THE DLH fight was an example of poor scoring. No way that fight was a SD. Oscar applied pressure, but it was ineffective, and it almost got him dropped in the 5th. Mayweather was by far the more accurate puncher and that's why he won. Plus Oscar was a bigger, stronegr opponent than Pac, he had a good job, and Mayweather was fighting in an unatural weightclass.

    3) I don't know why people say Floyd struggles with southpaws. He dominated Judah and was on the way to stopping him before he got hit low. He dropped Chop, Chop like 4 times in route to a wide UD. This is a complete myth.

    The bottom line, is that Pacquiao is just way to easy to hit, which spells doom when your fighting one of the most accurate punchers in the history of the sport.

    A nicely done video and one well suited to having an interesting conversation over.

    I do though find myself largely agreeing with BigReg's view :
    Whilst I wouldn't rule out a Pacquiao victory, I think a Mayweather victory is more likely for at least the following reasons:

    1. Floyd is the bigger man and has a sizeable reach advantage which I am sure he will seek to exploit and make Pac eat jabs all night long.

    2. If Floyd needs to go into "weathering the storm" mode for a round or two, this I can see him doing fairly well. But by contrast don't see Pac having the ability to do that if need be, very well.

    3. Everything Morales did in his first fight with Pac and what JMM did in his two fights with Pac, Floyd will be able to do and more. So even if Pac can do everything and more that Zab Judah and Chop Chop Corley were able to do, they didn't trouble Floyd as much as Pac's two aforementioned foes did to him, so on this score, another edge for Floyd.

    4. On the intangibles front, Floyd truly has been able to adapt to every thing that at one point was troubling him in the ring, whereas there is little evidence to suggest Pac has anything like this same ability.

    Before the Mosley fight, I felt that Floyd didn't punch that hard for a welterweight and wasn't even a true welterweight, so Pac wouldn't be too disadvantaged size wise.

    Afterall, Floyd ran from slow arse Baldomir all night, chose not to slug it out with Jnr WW Hatton, chose not to slug it out with Lightweight JMM, but to my great surprise, outmuscled and outpunched Mosley. It is almost as though Floyd has finally fully grown into the division, although more likely his cautious nature had just hidden this and prevented showing it earlier.

    I would like to see Pac win, but I think I am going to end up putting money on Floyd to win.

    The difference is Pac can apply EXTREME pressure for 12 rounds. Currently nobody (well not many) in boxing can do this.

    Pac is fast, very fast, this nullifies somewhat one of PBFs biggest weapons ie his speed. Yeah pac is gonna get hit when he comes in but lets be honest PBF is not a one or two punch KO boxer, Pac will take these punches and then out work PBF and will win a close SD. Bring on the rematch.

    Your right.
    Pac will take these punchs.
    He will take them all nite long or for as long as it last.
    The only thing that will save him from being KO's is if he quits on his stool.
    Pac doesnt have the chin that Floyd has.
    As a matter of fact, his chin is nowhere near Mosley's.
    If Floyd hits him anything like he did Mosley, he is going to sleep.

    Just like how Floyd put lightweight Marquez to sleep with 299 punches, right?

    Good video.
    Other things Pac has going for him is his straight left. I think PBF is easiest to hit straight down the middle. Not too mention Pac's right hook. It is a devastating punch of Pac's that get's overlooked time and time again. DLH's swollen face was on one side, the right hook side. PBF keeps the left hand guarding this side of the face dangerously low while he keeps the other hand up high to protect against left hooks. Easy when you're used to slower fighters who are not fast enough to be bad ass at the right hook, not a good idea vs Pac. Pac will be putting this up against PBF's jab and straight right. Tic for tac, close fight, the rest comes down to angles and footwork. In this I favor Pacquaio.

    it doesnt nullify Floyds speed...and speed isnt Floyds biggest weapon.

    secondly..Pac will get tagged comming in...and while he goes out at times....he fights in a rhthym...when Floyd adjusts to his speed..i think will take 4 rounds....Pac is going to have to adjust again...can he...im not sure he can.

    Except Floyd has way better timing than pac does.

    PBF's right hand > emmanuel's left hand

    I think Paulie Malignaggi hits harder than you. :lol: No joke.

    Your analysis was alright. I don't think you said anything new though. Speed, pressure, southpaw, angles. I've heard this many times, and said it often. You say it about 10 times in this video. There's nothing specific, though. No analyzing a habit, movement, or a specific punch that might work. Let's just hope the fight happens. I don't disagree with your prediction.

    I saw your videos yes he does lol. I've seen Malignaggi hit a heavy-bag and I think he moves it just as much (And he must use a much heavier bag).

    Well with Malignaggi being a pro, and me being a scrub, I take solace in the fact that my punching power is at the very least on PAR with his...:lol:
