    for mayweather. may seems to come forward agaisnt south paws and that will play in to pacs hands. pacs foot speed is amazingly fast people don't realize how fast pacs feet are. they just look at the combination he thows but it will be his foot speed that gets him in. if mayweather could not see mosleys punches in round 2 then he will be blind to pacs speed

    I agree. His workrate and stamina will also give Floyd problems.

    Floyd will have to box Manny and discourage him enough to stop throwing punches, but I don't see that happening. Pac is such a beast in the ring and he never lets up.

    Of course it will cause him problems, much like mayweather accuracy, speed, defence and ability to counter punch is going to cause manny a nightmare as well. A close fight, one for the ages with 2 truly ATG fighters going at it. Needs to happen

    You can't also predict what Pac will do in the ring. I agree w/ TS re Pac's footspeed and combinations plus his work rate or volume punches.

    plus Pac isn't an old grandpa who's been laid off for more than a year, he's still young and is fairly active

    I agree with a lot of what your saying mate. Mayweather has proved last night that he is still a top top fighter. A Mayweather Pac fight would be amazing and a fight no one could be too sure who would win but there are big question marks over Pacquiao using steroids. I agree tottally about pacs amazing SPEED, power and chin but in my opinion he is still winning fights based on massive physical advantages and that is crazy considering how many weight divisions he has come through the last couple of years. Given the fact that there are other fighters from Freddie Roaches gym who have been caught using steroids I think Mayweather is completely right in asking for random steroids tests and I would in the same position. Manny has always been the most ripped big name fighter during his era imo, but the fact that he still is after keeping his p4p speed and power and moving up a couple of weights should raise anybodies eye brows.

    After last night, I'm certain Mayweather's gonna adapt and beat Pac. He won't fight like that against Manny, he'll use his reach and win a UD.

    Pac will get slaughtered by Mayweather. Mayweather wouldnt fight him the same. Hes shorter and is easier to hit. His only chance would be a lucky shot just like Mosleys was, but I dont think it happens.

    I think Mayweather would do Pac.....they both great, but with Mayweathers reach over pac, he can time him coming in.

    All aspects of Mays game looked great last night.....although did anyone noticed the elbow in Mosleys face that Mayweather used at times.....thought the ref shoulda had a word. But yea after last night i would have to go for May over Pac.
     
  13. I feel PRETTY comfortable saying that if JMM and Morales can touch up Manny then so can Floyd. JUST SAYIN.

    Fact is, Manny gets hit. His defense is his offense. And against Floyd, that over-aggressive offense is just what the Dr. ordered for Floyd, because he will feast upon it.

    People talk like all of the punches in Pacquiao's combination's will land.

    Mayweather will use his reach advantage to stay out of Pacquiao's reach and use his jab to win rounds, Pac will be forced to rush Floyd to try and land combination's on him and will receive sharp counters for his effort.

    Pacquiao's jab and defense are both garbage and since him rushing in will be perfect for a counter puncher he will have a punchers chance and nothing more.
