People say that if Pac would have hurt Floyd he would have finished him

Only thing people are saying is that Mosley had Floyd hurt and did not press it any further. Instead of going for broke and landing more power shots when he had him sitting against the ropes in survival mode he just let up on him.

If the SAME EXACT opportunity had risen for pacquiao we all know for a fact Manny would have thrown 100 punches trying to get Floyd out of there.

Don't read too into it man it's simple

 

the thing is the second round of mosley - mayweather has no bearing at all because shane hits harder than pac any way


so if pac did land a bomb i doubt floyd would be as stuned as he was

 

1) Mosley has harder one shot power than emmanuel does
2) Emmanuel can be manhandled and clinched moar easily than Mosley due to being a "light welterweight" like his dumbAZZ fans like to claim

 

Mayweather was stunned, but it's not like he was on ***** street. He had complete control of his faculties, and he remained calm, and that's why Mosley couldn't do anything further with him.

 

This.
Shane let him off the hook. Manny wouldnt.
Would Manny have ko'd him? Who knows, I think he could have, but the point is that he would have went for broke at that point, unlike Shane

 

Mayweather tied him up long enough to clear his head and after that Mosley lost his chance and his momentum. Opening up wildly against a great counter-puncher who still has his wits about him is a good way to get yourself hurt real fast.

You can coulda/woulda/shoulda it all you want but Mayweather recovered fine and went on to score some meaningful punches of his own at the end of the round. Would it have been different if it was Pac? Maybe. Would Pac have gotten KOed by those punches from Mosley. Maybe.

Nobody knows, that's why people want to see them fight.

 

Your attempt at logic fails at the bolded part. Both Clottey and Marquez have finished fights despite taking vicious beatings. Floyd has never taken a vicious beating. We've only ever seen him get hit with 1 flush shot every 20 fights or so and it was not pretty. There is no premise on which you can base the statement "If Clottey and Marquez could last a full 12 so could Floyd."

Just doing my part to help you folks with some of the logical errors I see here all the time.

 

Pac lands punches clean on the chin that is the key word here at some point in the fight pac will land clean on mayweathers chin of that I have no doubt.Mosley hit floyd more on the side near the cheek, I got pac via KO against mayweather.

If pac can take cottos punches he sure as hell wont be too worried about floyds power.

Besides how is it a proven fact that mosley hits harder than pac at this stage of mosley's career ? I think pac hits harder unseen punches and more accurately.

Floyd will be in survival mode and have his best Nike on against pac it's the only possible way he could beat him he cant trade with pac.

 

Mosley took Cotto's punches easily and walked him down but Floyd had him backing up all night and scared to throw. So by the strange punch calculus that people like to use here Floyd is a better puncher than Cotto.

Meanwhile Margarito took Cotto's punches easily but Mosley beat him into a coma.

That would indicate that Mosley hits harder than Cotto, and Floyd also hits harder than Cotto.

I don't actually think it's that simple, since obviously styles and ability to apply power count for a ton, but I do think Cotto's power at WW is pretty overrated.

 

I don't think he would've finished him but he would be able to land with more regularity now that Floyd would be less than 100% sharp in his reflexes.

If that fight goes down today I have Pacquiao by a very close decision because I think he'd be able to do what Shane and Zab did early on, except with the stamina and willingness to come forward and eat shots to throw his own. He'll win the fight with the judges based on volume and power punches landed.

If an aged DLH can take at least 7 rounds on one official scorecard (I thought he took 4 in my book) by applying enough pressure behind a jab early to push Mayweather into the ropes and make him throw off the back foot, then a prime Pacquiao would be more than able to sustain the same attack over 12 rounds, from a southpaw stance no less. Manny would eat quite a few shots, but his chin is excellent as stated by the fact that he has never legitimately been knocked down since coming to America 7 years ago (In comparison to Floyd taking a knee against Famoso Hernandez after landing a punch which wasn't really a KD or getting truly knocked down by Judah after touching his glove due to a landed PUNCH which was REALLY a KD, Pac's only recorded KD in America was the first round of Barrera I when LAURENCE COLE erroneously ruled a slip a KD...watch it yourself). Pacquiao would keep coming forward and unless Floyd really hurt him with his accuracy AND volume, of which the latter I think he lacks, Pacquiao could win rounds alone based on his pressure and underrated accuracy.

 

No doubt that Floyd hits much harder than Cotto. Floyd may simply be the stronger man, but his timing and accuracy increase the power behind his punches exponentially. Cotto does not compare.

 

Pac could not finish JMM after knocking him down 4 times.
He couldnt finish a weakk DLH.
He couldnt finish a beat up Cotto.(ref basically did a mercy stoppage)
He couldnt finish an old Barrera.

Now what?

 

You can add clottey in that aswell...very well put..
