PBF outclasses Manny all day, every day

This post is so wrong on so many levels its ridiculous. Before I break this post down. Let me tell you that Mayweather may very well win if they ever fight. But all day everyday? No ****ing way. Easy win? No ****ing way.

1.) First of all one mistake you made(you keep making it whenever you post btw), is assume that Pac will only go one way and nothing else. After the last 3 fights against Diaz, DLH and now Hatton you'd think that a boxing fan would already notice by now that Pac DOESN'T GO IN STRAIGHT LINES anymore. If he was going straight lines against Hatton, the fight would've been way more competitive and Hatton would've even KO'd him. You saw the fight, you saw how Pac was using his lateral movement to keep Ricky from trapping him, you saw how superb his footwork was, you saw how he had great head-movement, then you sit there and still say Pac goes in straight lines? Ha! Now that's a joke right there.

2.)You also assume that Pac is dumb and would only stand in front of PBF. Again, look at his last 3 fights and my post above for reference. You also completely ignore the simple fact that he is not the search and destroy fighter he once was(one that you obviously still cling into). He's a THINKING FIGHTER now. Your delusional if you think Pac will just come charging in straight at PBF like a mindless ghoul. There's a reason why Pac is now a boxer/puncher. He counters well, he times his punches well, he's pretty accurate with his punches and it has also become varied too. He throws left straights, left hooks, right hooks, uppercut, hell even his jab is pretty decent IMO. So no, I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed when you find out Floyd's fighting a moving target and a dynamic one to boot.

3.)The Mayweather-Marquez comparison. I laugh whenever someone bring up Marquez to justify the ownage Pac will get from PBF. Citing their "similar" counter-punching styles as proof. I'm sorry, but contrary to popular belief JMM and PBF DO NOT have the same style. Yeah they both do counter-punching but the way they execute it is DIFFERENT. You know why JMM toubled Pac in their 2 fights? Its because JMM ACTUALLY TAKES RISKS, you see JMM MANY times throw lead punches and initiate exchanges to bait Manny in so he can counter him whenever Manny responds. In short, JMM throws WAY MORE PUNCHES than Floyd could dream. That respectable workrate of JMM's was what allowed him to fight evenly with Pac for 24 rounds. It prevented Pac from having rests and forced him to be constantly on his toes and to always be on guard. It also meant that Pac would be constantly hit many times throughout the fight.

PBF's counter-punching style is different. In these higher weights, he NEVER takes risks no more. His workrate is abyssmal. He never does 4 to 5 combinations to the head and body as often as he did in the lighter weights anymore. All he does now is wait for his opponents to attack and only then would he throw a counter-punch whenever he sees an opening. And even then he only throws 1 or 2 counters at a time. That's it. Compare that to JMM who usually throws 3 to 4 counters at a time. VERY DIFFERENT STYLES BROTHA.

As I said Mayweather would be the favorite. But if this fight with Hatton told us anything, its to NEVER underestimate Pac as it will only come back to bite ya in the ass.

 

PBF must run very in able to survive the onslaught of manny.

potshot all night

 

after seeing Paq last night floyd wll now duck the fight same as he did Cotto, Margarito and Mosley. For the simple reason: Paq is young strong and vicious, has the true champion's fearless mentality, and the power to leave floyd laying stiff like Hatton last night.

 

very well said. i also favor floyd slightly but it is because skillwise they are close but floyd is bigger. how can you not use their last 2 fights as a barometer of where they are when neither fighter is the same fighter he was 3 or 4 years ago. the manny of today is fighting more efficiently against similar opposition than the floyd of last year. manny will give floyd all he can eat AND a doggie bag for ellerby.

 

I'm sorry if you feel that way. Nobody's saying Floyd has to enjoy the punishment needlessly, but I've seen Floyd take hits, he doesn't take them well, he is visibly uncomfortable. I also saw Marquez take Pac's power and he was never uncomfortable even after all the flash KD, he was never wabbled or lost his composure.

 

Floyd is defense before ofense, Manny is ofense before defense. Floyd wins easy !

 

FMJr's biggest asset is his cross against a southpaw and his reach but that's all he has against Pacquiao and Pacquiao can close that distance pretty damn quick and put solid painful combination together. If you think that FMJr's just going to methodically pick him appart you're missing the point - this is why common opponents matter - Pacquiao is classes and classes above DLH and Hatton, there's hardly anything to break down, barely anything to exploit and brings game changing elements of his own into the ring. FMJr's going to have to fight the whole time, every second of every round with more intensity then he's ever shown, the kid I've been dying to see since his lightweight days.

 

What comedy show are you performing at next?

 

No easy fight. Not by a long shot.
