Looking at the mega fight that might happen with Pac-Floyd I wanna look at some advantages or disadvantages for fighters in there personal stats... Floyd is 5'8 and walk around at 158-159 or so...Pac is 5'6 and walk around about 151-152 (approx for both fighters)....Floyd is mos definitley the "bigger man" at the shoulders...but Floyd isn't a real physical fighter so his size isn't as big of an advantage as it was for say....... Cotto... The one thing I notice in these 2 fighters is the difference in reach...If you ever been to a boxing gym and sparred than you know that if your the "taller man" and your the "boxer" (especially with the longer reach) than your USUALLY told to stay on the outside, jab, circle away from the southpaw power and boom throw the straight right and finish with the left hook .. OF COURSE IT DONT ALWAYS WORK LIKE THAT--Look at Ruslan Chagev in his win over Valuev...Valuev held an 85 to 74 inch reach advantage and Chagev still found a way to get inside and work to get the obvious W which he earned.... **** even OSCAR HAD A LONGER REACH THAN MANNY AT 73 IN COMPARISON TO MANNY AT 67 AND MANNY DISMANTLED OSCAR...COTTO WAS EVEN BTW AT 67... TOMMY HEARNS HAD THE REACH OVER SRL WITH A 78-74 ADVANTAGE BUT GOT BEAT... I'M TRYING TO GET SOME THOUGHTS ON THIS MEGA FIGHT IN WHAT YOU THINK EACH FIGHTER HAS TO OFFER THE OTHER FIGHTER WHEN IT COMES TO PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES LIKE REACH ADVANTAGES, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AS WELL AS EACH FIGHTERS IQ IN THE RING... I believe that if Floyd fights tall than he keeps Manny away. I think Floyd knows how to fight to use his reach at a huge advantage..Oscar didn't use his height much in his fight....(He hunched over a lot and give his height away thus he also wasn't throwing cuz manny was hurting him WHEN HE WOULD THROW)..Floyd knows how to fight tall and he knows how to not let his opponent get angles...He knows how to keep fighters in front of him..not saying he wont get caught cuz fighters do get caught and FMJ can lose to manny pac just as easily as manny pac can lose to FLOYD...I RECOGNIZE THIS... BUT WHAT IS LIL PAC GONNA DO WHEN HE CANT FIND ANGLES AND HE CANT GET PAST FLOYDS JAB (WHICH ISN'T A BAD JAB AT ALLAT ALL-FLOYDS JAB TO THE BODY IS VERY EFFECTIVE)??? I JUST THINK TECHNICALLY FLOYD WILL WIN THIS FIGHT USING HIS PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES AND I THINK FLOYD KNOWS HOW TO USE HIS PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES BETTER THAN PAC KNOWS HOW TO USE HIS PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES... THOUGHTS FROM ESB???:bbb
Btw i recognize that manny is the best in the world..he proved it saturday night! JUST FOR FUN BELOW THOUGH CHECK OUT PW REACH!!! Pac arm length 67 floyd arm lenght 72 paul williams arm length 81 nikolay valuev reach 85
