something i noticed about Pacquiao

Then someone should take advantage of it! Unfortunately no one seems to have it in them to capitolize on the flaws manny certianly has. He's an amazing fighter with all that said.

 

Hopefully Floyd can exploit it. Others can't. Floyd is the truth.

 

Funnily enough, I watched Pac-Cotto & Floyd-JMM back to back last night (yes, I was bored).... I noticed a few things each man could exploit in the other but way more in Mayweather`s favour.

There is nobody better than Pac at unloading punches when he has you trapped & covering up but when its centre ring, he leaves himself wide open when attacking before getting himself in a defensive position, Cotto caught him clean a good few times, Mayweather has better timing & speed than Cotto.
Also... after a brilliant 9th round were Pac almost stopped Cotto, Cotto frustrated Manny simply by boxing on the backfoot in the next round & a fair bit of round 11 too, he took the odd 1 or 2 but mostly kept Pac at bay & Pac was visibly frustrated that Cotto wouldnt engage.... how is he gonna fell when Mayweather is doing this A LOT & doing it without being gassed or beaten up aka not just surviving but landing clean, stinging shots into the bargain ?

On the other side of the coin, Floyd would avoid Marquez bombs by simply bending over & moving his head at times (little or no foot movement) & every now & then JMM would land the odd shot, nothing damaging but you have to think Pac & his faster flurries might get thru with more than just 1 at times, especially those weird angled power flurries that felled Cotto.

Im confident of a Mayweather win but these things must be taken into account, always good to annalyse rather than assume.

 

if anyone can capitalize on Pacquiao's little mistakes its Mayweather.

 

There are plenty of bad habits that Pacquiao has, and I'm sure Floyd will exploit most of them.

Everyone has 'flaws', but you can also call it a style.

Better still, the more unorthodox it is the more awkward that style is to overcome.

 

Christ, look at those calfs, Cotto's are toothpicks in comparison.

 

ESB sees every exploit a fighter has but the opposing fighters and its trainers dont see it. wow! just wow! esb people are so good that they are better than the people involved.

 

yeah i think mayweather will be far more technical than we have ever sen him and capitalize on those mistakes

 

Damn, look at those calves! :shock:

 

That's a very good observation. Let's see if Mayweather can exploit that "weakness".

 

Your analysis is good but I thought that JMM was head hunting Mayweather a bit too much. He was not throwing body punches which is I feel is effective against Mayweather as Mayweather, although very fast with his hands, does not exactly move his feet in exchanges.

Mayweather's defense in actually moving his head away by bending sideways or backward, yet his main trunk is still within punching distance, with just a matter of getting through that guardd with his one arm protecting the body. IMO, if you throw enough punches , you could land some because mayweather does not really fight like SRL, meaning very mobile with very potent jab to control distance. zIn most mayweather fights, his opponents could close distance, it is the landing of punches that is the difference.
