shane gave him an off night. Shane merely moved he didnt sugar ray leonard sprint around the ring. Manny wasn't fighting willie pep out there. Im not trying to blow it out of proportion. But manny showed a huge flaw in his ring generalship.
I've watched almost every one of Pac's fights that is on video and I have to say Mosley did not expose anything in my eyes. Coming from someone who has been a fan of Pacquiao since 2003 and watched and rewatched many of his fights. I think Pac owned Mosley really bad. Those opening Pac gives are almost impossible to capatilize on without taking damage for your trouble, something Mosley quickly learned. And Pac landed a lot more punches on Mosley than people think. 50% of his power punches. Think about that. The only one who showed me something new about Pacquiao is Morales when he showed that if you have the size, the toughness, the balls, the strength, and the skills to walk through some of Pac's best shots and push him back into the ropes... you can beat him.
you're missing the point. Shane limited footwork disrupted mannys attack and on many occassions when he was standing right in front of him manny wouldnt punch. Manny ring generalship has been compromised.
He could do a better job cuting off the ring. It's a flaw but it takes a lot more then what shane did to expose it. Floyd isnt hte guy to do it either , I can guarantee you that. If Marquez was still in his prime he'd be the biggest threat to Pacquiao below 147.
There should be another forum here in ESB dedicated to fantasy fights. All Floyd fights can belong there.
it was a very awkward fight for the most part. i think Pac/Freddy's game plan was to go to the body early and often and try to pace him out in the later rounds. Watching Shane it looked like he also had the same plan to go to the body early and often hopefully to slow Pac down. Thus came all those inadvertant headbutts which looked like it got them both off their game. But really, everyone see's these openings on Pac but no one has ever capitalized on it which makes me think that Pac is quite aware of this and kinda uses it in a way, he recovers from any misbalance in a nanosecond and is firing bombs back instantly. Some crazy ish.....
wtf are you talking about? You must be ******ed. I'll take 1 landed Pacquiao punch over 10 Mayweather arm punches. Just look at Mosley's face after the Pacquiao fight and after the Mayweather fight. It kind of hard to land on someone who is in FULL RETREAT and is also the BIGGER man. Normally when someone stalks a fighter down whos in full retreat, you only will be very successful when the guy doing the stalking is physically bigger and stronger than the guy in retreat.
seems to me you didn't watch the cotto fight cause from 6th round until the round it was stopped cotto would circle to his left and pac didn't know how to cut the ring he actually followed him around the ring
He exposed that Emmanuel has weak stance resistance - see the almighty pushover. Weak Stance Resistance exists in boxing, it's irrefutable.
