Someone please tell me how you come to the conclusion that Floyd will stop or KO Pacquiao? What the hell has Floyd done recently to suggest such absurd statement? Floyd doesn't have the style to stop opponents at WW - he has the style to outbox you but KO or stop you?! GTFOH...Meanwhile, Pacquiao has faced bigger opposition and has not even come close to being bothered by any punches IMO. If they ever fight, I am convinced Mayweather will win but to say he'll stop Manny Pacquiao is borderline ******ed...
Manny could get schooled fighting Floyd and Arum knows that so he feeds Pac people he knows he'll beat. Guys until proven otherwise this fight isn't going to happen.
You are right man- pac fans say that WAPAKMAN is the target of haters- but its really floyd- People who wanted floyd to fight big guys are now saying fight someone who is a titlist (only requirement) when floyd beats Pac they will say- Well yeah... Pacquiao is a blown up featherweight. List goes on and on. Floyd will never get the love he needs and Pacquiao always get more than he deserves.
Cotto was able to snap back his head with jabs, and manny is has shown he's vulnerable to a good right hand. Floyd's right hand is defly stronger than Cotto's jab. I know he's great at hiding his pain and does pain conditioning, but you can be damn sure he's taking damage each time his head gets snapped back. Even someone like pac will wear down and begin to be visibly hurt if their head snaps enough. A KO can even happen. See Mayweather vs Hatton for example. Floyd can definitely hurt pac especially with the his timing and the way pac loves to be explosive by leaping in. Pac's rushing in will only help the impact and increase the power of Floyd's counters. Think of it as two cars colliding instead of just one car hitting another. The fact that his head snaps back so much is a a reminder that he's still indeed a little man. I doubt Mayweather will rely on size and physicality since it's not his style, but the strength advantages will def show.
I wouldn't say they are borderline ******ed. If PAc keeps coming at Floyd, and is getting hit while coming in, he will fall. you can brace for a shot if you know it's coming as PAc knew Clottey, Dlh, Cotto and Hatton were all primarily left hookers, but guys like Floyd or Shane can stop with with either hand by breaking you down with either hand...
Cotto's jab is thrown with his strong hand - he's a natural lefty fighting the orthodox stance. Cotto was also hitting Pac with some left hooks but Pac kept coming. Your argument of Hatton is almost irrelevant considering the fact that Hatton had already shown signs of not being able to take a punch very well in his fight with Collazo and later with Lazcano (after Mayweather of course but still). Hatton's style was also a KO waiting to happen. Pacquiao doesn't have stellar defense but he's got head movement and tremendous footwork. If anything, Pac is looking better than he has since his days against JMM where it was the last time I'd seen Pac wobbled.
Voose, I consider you a very good poster/******* and agree with what you say, but PAc's last few opponents didn't give PAc a variety of punches to think about as they attacked with no right hands...
WTF are talking? Floyd's been hiding under HER panties when the thought of fighting Pac surfaced. The only reason why Pac would never beat Floyd is because Pretty Boy will never back out of his demand of random testing cause he knows Pac will never agree so close to the fight thus allowing himself to get out and still have a face and making Pac look like the guilty one. Very clever. To quote Freddie, "Floyd, let the commission do their job and get in the ring with us"... Simple.. and we have a fight.
Sup fool? I understand what you mean about keep coming in and getting hit and while it's possible Mayweather can knock Pac down, I just don't see it happening...It's not like Pacquiao is stupid (ala Hatton) but he's got a damn good chin as well.
Oh I agree with you 100% my n1gg...He's chosen his latest opponents wisely hasn't he I'm talking about styles in general though, Pac will come in with weird angles and he'll get caught coming in no doubt, but I just don't see Mayweather stopping Pac - I see him timing Pac beautifully with the right hand and disrupting Pacquiao's attack but that's about it. You're right though, Mayweather will present Pac with something he hasn't tasted in a while - LEATHER!
I predicted a Floyd UD, a while back. But now i'm not quite sure, Manny doesn't seem to be hurt as much in his last few fights. For someone who gets cut and marked up often, he doesn't seem to have a problem taking those kind of shots. If Floyd had a little more power, i believe he would keep Manny at a safer distance, it doesn't help that Pacman's quick mobility is comparable to Floyd himself....
We should petition ESB to have an Entrance Exam along with an Essay for "Newbies" in order for them to be allowed to post!!!!:-(
Manny's isn't great though. He got caught practically everytime Clottey bothered to throw leather. The number of straight rights that landed right down the barrell surprised me.
