In part what makes this fight the one it is, is the intangibles. Its hard to predict a fight like this because of these intangibles. Floyd's defence is one of those things were we wont know how effective it will be versus pacquiao. If pacquiao can hit floyd consistently can floyd out gun him and still win. Will pacquiao be discouraged and become gun shy from getting countered? But the most important in my opinion is who is actually faster between the two? Can pacquiao overwhelm floyd's reflexes? What if pacquiao doesnt engage mayweather as frequently as people are saying he will? Lets say pacquiao uses those quick feet and trys to 'steal' those rounds with quick flurries rather than fight mayweather. How will mayweather react? Lets not forget the cotto fight in round 4 where pacquiao just sat on the ropes and let miguel pound on him just to open cotto up. This fight could very well end up a chess match and a close decision.
Pac TKO mid - late rounds, believe it. He's a nightmare for Floyd right now. He does absolutely everything you can think of to bother Floyd, and he's a southpaw to boot. He has all of the intangibles as well. The fight will be one-sided.
BOUTA TAKE U TO SCHOOL..FIRST OFF CLOTTEY SIGNED WITH PAC IN JAN 2010..NOT 2009... ON THE RINGS LISTING JMM WAS RANKED #2 IN THE WORLD BEHIND PACQUIAO AND MOSLEY #3 IN THE WORLD ON THE LB 4 LB LIST...SHANE WAS RANKED #2 IN THE WORLD AT WW ONLY AFTER MANNY BEAT COTTO..B4 THAT HE WAS IN THE ONE SPOT...THATS THE SECOND THING U DIDN'T KNOW YOUR COMPARISON WITH HATTON IS STUPID AS HELL..STYLES MAKE FIGHTS..PAC KNOCK HIS OPPONENTS CUZ HE A PUNCHER...WHAT HE DOES BEST..HE HAS A LOT OF POWER N I DONT TAKE THAT AWAY...FLOYD TAKES EM TO SCHOOL N BOXES....I HAD RICKY DOWN 6-3 BTW WITH THE POINT DEDUCTION ..THEY BOTH GOT SPECTACULAR WINS...FLOYD'S GAME ISNT TO KNOCK U IN ONE PUNCH...HE DONT GOT THAT TYPE OF POWER N HE KNOW IT..ITS TO BREAK U DOWN.. AS FOR THE FOOTWORK...WHAT U TALKIN ABOUT? "HOW IS IT BETTER?" HE'S ALWAYS IN A POSITION TO TAKE ANY ANGLE AWAY HIS OPPONENT TRIES TO GET..HE "LITERALLY" STAYS A STEP OR TWO AHEAD OF HIS OPPONENT.. HIS FEET MAY NOT BE AS QUICK..BUT HIS TECHNICAL SKILLS AND ESPECIALLY IN THE FOOTWORK DEPARTMENT IS RIDICULOUSLY BETTER THAN PAC'S FOOTWORK..ROACH HIMSELF SAID PAC'S FOOTWORK STARTED COMING AROUND IN 2005 OR SO....FLOYD HAD HIS FOOTWORK ON PAR SINCE THE AMETUERS...THESE DAYS ITS JUST RIDICULOUS....I MEAN JUST LOOK AT WHO IS OPEN FOR MORE COUNTERS? PAC THROWS AND COMES IN OFF BALANCE AT TIMES...PAC LANDS IN POSITIONS WHERE HE ISN'T ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM A PUNCH NOR THROW ONE... SAYING MANNY HAS "BETTER FOOTWORK" THAN FLOYD OR IS LIKE ME SAYING "FLOYD HAS MORE POWER THAN PAC"....ORTHODOX OR UNORTHODOX FLOYD'S FOOTWORK IS PROBABOY SOME OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN SINCE WHITAKER... FULL OF WHAT HOLES ?? SHOW ME..U DIDNT EVEN BRING THE RIGHT INFORMATION TO THE TABLE....DEC 2009, HUH:huh MANNY WILL MAKE IT COMPETITIVE...I'VE SAID IT MANY TIMES...I THINK IT WILL BE CLOSE WHEN HE GETS KNOCKED..BUT SEEING HOW CLOTTEY WAS ABLE TO COUNTER AND HOW JMM WAS ABLE TO...FLOYD IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL WHEN IT COMES TO THE SKILL FACTOR IN COMPARISON WITH BOTH THOSE GUYS... LOL PACS FOOTWORK
No little man , the fight was signed in January , but set in December , berto fight was cancelled 20 Jan 2010 , so mosley was not available . Detail is not one of your strong points. I said Welterweight, not ring pound for pound. Also where did i mention better footwork I just gave you a counter argument, again detail man. Really poor arguments and easy on the capitals , its your words that count, and right now they are pretty small. Peace
They're probably going to tell you because dapidran fights for his country. When you watch Mayweather-Marquez with the Skysports commentary that knockdown Floyd scored over Marquez happened right when they said Marquez fights for Mexico.
LOL...NO IT WASN'T....THEY WERE STILL NEGOTIATING WITH FLOYD IN DECEMBER AND INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY.... YEA U SAID WW DUMMY...I SAID "LB FOR LB" IN MY FIRST POST..SO U PUT A REBUTTAL IN TO SOMETHING THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY POST IN THE FIRST PLACE..WHOOPS...UR BAD.. POOR ARGUMENTS...U BRINGING THE WRONG INFO TO THE TABLE WITH YOUR ARGUMENT..:think WEAK ARGUMENTS...YOURS IS PRETTY WEAK AND HAS PLENTY OF HOLES.. IM YET TO SEE U EXPOSE ANY "HOLES" IN MY ARGUMENT..LMFAO... NEXT ONE:deal
YOUR ORIGINAL POST DUMMY...TALK TO ME WHEN U CAN BRING THE RIGHT INFORMATION TO THE DEBATE:deal OWNED:hi:
NICE POST! I dont see any fighter taking a "chess match" type fight with Floyd... Lets just assume that Pac does try and "box" with Floyd...I think he'll get picked apart...HE WOULD BE COMING OUT OF HIS FIGHT GAME FOR ONE AND "FIGHTING FLOYDS FIGHT"... I think Pac's best chance is to make floyd "fight"....if he can get him to fight than he is the harder puncher and he will make floyd come out of that shell..... i just don't see him having the size or strength NOR THE LENGTH TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL FLOYD ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE RING GENERALSHIP... Floyd has a big reach advantage AND FLOYD KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT TALL..HE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT "LONG" AS WELL AND USE THAT REACH AND HEIGHT..SOMETHING OSCAR DIDNT DO VERY WELL.... MANNY PAC'S DEFENSE ISNT GREAT EITHER..HE ISNT GREAT AT HOLDING ON OR CATCHING PUNCHES AFTER GETTING ROCKED.. IT WILL BE COMPETITIVE...STILL THINK FLOYD KNOCKS HIM BASED ON THE STYLES//pac dont got the size or strength or the arm rach to control a fighter like floyd who moves a lot...
floyd quits on his stool at the start of the 11th. first few rounds are close as each fighter adjusts to speeds neither one has seen before. pacs speed and odd angles force floyds conect % to drop into the 30s which promps floyd to fight on the inside more. the middle rounds will look good for floyd as he counters successfully against pacs constant aggression. the sheer volume of punches recieved will wear floyd down by the late rds. his fear of geting koed will make him quit on his stool and blame an injury. he will say how he was about to ko pac when he injured himself but in the rematch "pac is so dead". the *****s on esb take that as proof that floyd is the superior fighter "imagine what he would have done to pac if he hadnt ruptured his appendix in the 8th". the rematch makes half the money as most will see through floyds hustle.
