Pac-Floyd: What would it be like?

You are so wrong. Manny doesn't have a jab to offset Floyd. That little right, left, right is going to get him ****ed up.

 

Floyd is going to be using his jab from the start which will offset Manny and make him guess. You must understand that Floyd has the height and 5 inch reach advantage. Yes others have had the same advantage over Manny but Floyd will actually use his. Manny has problem cutting off the ring and in fighting which will do him in. Floyd has fast feet to get his and get out of range and as Manny rushes in he will be getting clipped. People are way too busy worrying about Manny's offense. They need to be worried about what kind of offense will Floyd bring and can Manny handle his.

 

The jab is only important against Floyd for an orthodox fighter. Manny is not going to just back him up like someone like a prime Oscar or Shane would. He's going to change the angle and feint a lot coming forward and throw strange punches, and probably bank on Floyd deciding to come forward at one point in order to counter him.

 

I hear you but the problem is Floyd is a master boxer. A pure boxer. How do you take away angles? With foot work. Floyd has the best foot work in the game. His feet are just as fast as Manny as well. The jab is what offsets a fighter and messes with their rhythm. Manny can use angels all he wants and Floyd can stay on the outside and jab to the chest or shoot a straight right down the pipe. He is accurate as hell. Floyd will come forward later in the fight when Manny is broken down. Manny will get raped on the inside against Floyd. The inside is when Floyd will use the philly shell defense bc the Southpaw advantage is not there on the inside. Manny can't handle that. Infighting and the outside range is what is going to decide this fight. Manny has a punchers chance. You know that mitt work Floyd does with Roger? When and if Manny and Floyd fights you will then understand why they do that routine. :deal

 

i dont think itll live up to the hype....it would be similar to oscar/ floyd

 

It would probably be quite boring.

 

This will be Judah vs Mayweather round 1-5. Judah is a front runner and a mental midget where Pac will keep coming at him all the way till the last round. Judah broke down mentally when around the fifth round Mayweather had him guessing where he will hit him and Judah started fidgeting his hands all over the place, and had his last good flurry. After that round he stopped being offensive and became a defensive counter puncher, to where he kept his stance to a shell stance. Judah's dad told him to keep pressuring him, but Judah was so mentally broke that he stop listening and stuck on his shell stance. Had Judah not mentally break down and kept the offensive pressure he might have won. Mayweather even knew he was a front runner. Pac doesnt break down mentally. He will get hit by Mayweather, but he wont break down mentally. We all saw how pac walks past a punch just to hit them back, and that's probably why Floyd Sr. is in awed of Pac and yelling PEDs. Once Floyd hits him and Pac keeps coming at him he will be stuck on the defense. Floyd also knows how hard Pac hits, which is evident to all of pac opponents face except for Clottey. Floyd is a smart guy, why else would he ask for OSDT which is unprecedented in boxing, ask for $100million, and go in vacation for over a year, and be humiliated from the media, other boxers such as hagler and paul williams calling him a *****, as well a boxing fans

 

I think it would be like FMJ vs JMM, easy win for Floyd who will nullify Pac.

 

How many times do these threads have to be re-hashed? This exact topic has been discussed hundreds of times. It'll never ****ing happen anyway, so shut up about it!

 

Thriller in Manilla

 

Floyd rarely uses the jab on southpaws. He uses straight rights and left hooks more then jabs whe he fights southpaws.

 

You are right about that. He also uses his jab. Go back and watch his fights against them .

 

His jab is much more effective with orthodox fighters, but with southpaws he rarely uses the jab and uses the left hook and straight right. I cant see the jab as the key to pac when he uses the left hook and straight right more effectively with south paws. He is also more aggressive with southpaws, so the straight right and left hook makes sense.

 

Check out my thoughts on that matchup here if you're interested. The footwork is key, and the things Marquez does aren't necessarily applicable to Floyd's style of fighting in straight lines. Pac can capitalize on Floyd's habitually embedded style by taking away his most used weapons and position while imposing his own.

Definitely, a very boring fight. Worse than Pacquiao-Mosley. :-(
