The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

O'really? so lets say... a feather fisted bradley buzzed manny and had brief moments of backing manny up but floyd a legit WW with a better KO record longer reach better footwork ect ect ect is going to be backed up all night by manny and not be able to hurt him back?

OK sure look forward to reading your posts on may 3rd explaining what happened

 

Neither do forearm shivers score points except for Floyd in Vegas How about Cortez taking a point from Hatton when it was Floyd that illegally ducked his head outside the ropes to avoid a punch the blow hit the top rope never touched Floyd
Dirty tactics & home cookin are Floyds biggest assets

 

IntentionalButt is lame for merging all these threads togethers so he can be the thread starter of one of the most replied to threads in ESB history. Puto.

 

Any truth to the rumors that Rigo is sparring with Pac?

 

PAC says Floyd's handspeed doesn't coordinate with he's footspeed. He believes he has the advatage there. Thoughts?

 

This is why Manny will win. His footwork will cause Floyd some trouble. Floyd has to move or face a barrage of punches. Mark my words -- Manny will be all over Floyd.

 

One of the more common misconceptions is that Mayweather will heavily rely on the shoulder roll against Pacquiao. If anyone watches Mayweather's past fights against southpaws, he shelves the shoulder roll in favor of a high guard. He's also more relatively aggressive when he uses the high guard. He knows that the shoulder roll won't be as effective against southpaws (especially fast southpaws), he's a smart guy. Case in point, he got rocked by a Judah left because he was in a shoulder roll stance, leaving him open to a left down the pipe.

Bottom line, he's not gonna use the shoulder roll, at least not in the majority of the fight. Freddy should notice this and tailor their gameplan accordingly, or else Manny might be surprised as to why Floyd isn't shoulder rolling and instead peppering him with straight right hand leads off the high guard.

 

I agree if Bayless is allowed to officiate then Floyd wil be given carte blanche to hold , forearm shiver &:| all he wants while Bayless will beyelling "STOP" every time Manny attacks like he did in Maidana 2

 

How much credit would you give Floyd if he fought and beat Pacquiao and Bradley back to back?

 

Manny's technicality is very underrated... he is known as a slugger who punches in different angle with speed and power, but behind all of that there is the technically of Manny Pacquiao, he does not punch without purpose and that he plans his attack.

 

There's been a lot talk about the corner men giving advantage to either fighter. My take on that is:

Neither fighter will take much notice on whoever is in the corner. They are the two best fighters in the division for this era and they will do what they think they have to do to win this fight.

It is absolutely awesome to have a father of a son in the corner for probably biggest fight of this decade.

It is absolutely awesome to have one of the best trainers of this era in the opposing corner in this fight.

The set up is perfect. I am just hoping that Mayweather will not spoil the fight by making it a touch and avoid kind of spoilfest.

 

Re-watching Canelo and thinking... if that Floyd Mayweather shows up... how bitterly Pacquiao would lose. Absolutely amazing.
