https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtZ_S_RhCPA Forbes has sparred with both men. Here is his insight into the May 2nd bout. Enjoy and discuss. :bbb
finally someones opinion that actually holds alot of weight. what suprised me about this video is he said what alot of other floyd opponents have said in the past "he hits harder then you think"
These people that think Manny is just going to walk through Mayweather's punches are in for a rude awakening. If Manny is trying to walk through punches, he's getting TKO'd. I don't think we'd see a straight KO. And I picked Floyd to win by UD. If Manny is stupidly reckless however, accumulated damage will get him out of there. If he's getting pummeled, I see Roach throwing the towel. Roach isn't going to let a fighter get beat half to death. He knows the long term consequences. Despite that: I see an 8-4 decision for Floyd. I think Manny will wisely back off.
WHat?? LOL at mayweather pummeling anyone at this point let alone Pacman. He couldn't even hurt guerrero or maidana who were recklessly coming after him yet he is going to pummel pacquiao?? Mayweather is going run and hold a lot. I hope pac is ready for this. If he fights pac like he normally fights other southpaws he is in for a long night.
If Pacquiao fights in the style the idiot Pac**** Nation is requesting, with reckless abandon, yes: He will get pummeled and possibly TKO'd. Manny needs to put "educated pressure." Recklessness is just going to get him caught again like it did in his 4th bout with Marquez. You should try reading the entirety of the post, as I said I picked Mayweather to win by UD, not by "pummeling Pacquiao." I just mentioned that if Pacquiao fights stupid, and comes in "stupidly reckless," he will get pummeled. Or maybe you did read the entire post, but in your hurry to defend your hero, you didn't realize I wasn't even predicting that would take place. But hey, if you think Manny can go in there and just throw caution to the wind and not worry about a punch Mayweather throws, good for you for thinking Manny is Superman. I can assure you Freddie Roach isn't giving Pacquiao that idiotic advice, and is warning him not to get reckless.
Gotta hand it to him though, even when he cheats, he uses good technique. I hear that Sugar Ray Robinson even beat his wife in combinations.
