This is why I think Pac can't beat Mayweather (video)

so in other words only fighters who KO people have good accuracy in your book?

because they hit the "sweet" spot?

 

Floyd has never has as much emotions going in to a fight as this though. The video and stuff is all him acting out of self defence against, well people like me thinking that he would lose.

I just don't see Pacquiao being made look like an amature who gets picked off in the fight. Pacquiao in his last fights hassent had any experience against anyone fighting smart, which could also result in Pacquiao getting beat. I do see Pacquiao managing to get in tight and taking it to May alot. I'd see the rounds edging in May's favour, and by like round 9 it being like 6-3 to May, but all being very close. I would imagine then May to have gotten more sloppy as he wants to prove himself and KO Pac, but messing up and being caught by Pacquiao then.

No one would dominate it either way.

 

So explain Clottey to me. Where is this superior accuracy youre preaching about Manny having. 1200 punches and only landing around 300 which is bull**** arm punches with Jim yelling out sound effects. Manny is only a superior counter puncher when his opponent goes to war with him. Youre really looking like a clown right now.

 

Well, again, your edging accuract to mean numbers. Many boxers have great punches landed accuracy, and other boxers are brilliant at hitting the exact place to get the KO. I think May has the first one down, and Pac has the second down, but Pac having the second more so than May on the first.

 

That really isn't true, there are quite a few fighters out there and in history who are offensive yet pick their shots and pace themselves. whatever though

 

its the single shots not the counter punches although they play a part but its the single shots he uses...do u watch his fights...honestly?

 

Did you watch the fight? Landing on a fighter who is only looking to cover up and survive will see the connect percentage fall a bit. Especially when you have the kind of defense Josh is known for. He shelled the **** up....left little openings and PAC just had to hit whatever was available. So he beat up the body, arms and shoulders until Josh would open up here and there. It's hard to counter when your opponent isn't throwing any punches.

 

It's the big shoes and red nose right? You guys even act like mayweather.

The Clottey fight was awful. Pacquiao barley landed anything and Clottey to me had really good defence with no offence. Pacquiao could open him up to get anything big landing as he just closed up the whole fight. Mayweather doesent close up, he wouldnt win that way, he has great defence but still is open enough to stay attacking when he has to, which is when I think he'd get tagged.

 

Which one are you talking about?

Mayweather's main effective hits are the counters. His attacks are usually to drawn his opponant in to trade with him, where he counters.

Pacquiao is good with the counters, but he makes most of his impact from hitting them before the counter is opened up, and thats where he managed to get a great accurate connection.

 

There are fighers who dont even put their gloves up and win fights in history. Any comment could be voided by bringing up someone from history.

 

So then why was Manny's face busted up then. You see if you watched the fight whenever Clottey decided to throw a punch it landed. And your little post here..all I can say is nice fairytale. Floyds a far more dynamic defensive fighter and is also another thing Manny can't deal with being a "moving" target and a superior in fighter than Clottey..
1.you say Manny is a more accurate fighter. I don't even need to adress this.
2.Clottey is better defensively and is a better in fighter. Don't need to address this one either.

 

Sigh.

There is an entire style of punchers out there that exist who fit the exact characteristics I was talking about, guys who move forward with a high guard and use a subtle, stalking pressure. This type of boxer-puncher is very very common, actually, a couple of all time greats being Alexis Arguello, Jose Napoles, Joe Louis.

Modern examples include dudes like Arthur Abraham. Your comment was that offensive fighters cannot have high accuracy and pct of punches landed. this is obviously ****ing wrong to anyone that knows boxing.

 

I couldn't agree more with this post. I used to say all the time when asked who would be the hardest for PBF out of Pac, Mosley, and pre Margo Cotto that Cotto would be the hardest, followed by Mosley and Pac would be the easiest due to his style and reach.

 

.....Yeah man, I love going off topic as much as the next guy...but neither Pac and May have that style...so ......:S

 

Your post reeks of typical *******s ignorance. Chico being fast Get the **** outta here!:rofl Have you ever seen Chico fight? Zab was the fastest fighter PBF has faced and he could beat PBF to the punch and counter him as well. He beat a guy that he didn't hold all the advanatges against in Zab that's what makes that win impressive something Pac isn't willing to do he faces guys who he has the handspeed advantage on everytime out. :dealLearn something about boxing before popping off the mouth dumbass or I'll continue to embarrass you.:hi:
