Why cant Mayweather fight Pacquiao in the pocket?

floyd maywetaher a mover?? atsch

he was coming to ortiz the entire night, in fact he was giving ortiz all the angles and standing right infront of him smiling

mayweather reminds me of james toney if anything

i picked marquez to beat pacquiao

 

Floyd has good defence. Just because you walk a fighter down doesn't mean you will eat pucnhes atsch

 

floyd does have good defence, it will be a good fight:roflatsch

 

But that last sentence of yours is precisely what I'm saying, he can't fight Manny like the fought Chavez.

Now on the first point, Floyd can't use his longer arms cause it has been proved that there are not enough sharper guys with long punches to keep a guy like Manny off. Cotto jabbed well in the first and second, but about at the fourth, he ate a punch coming from nowhere and ended up on the canvas that completely changed the course of the fight.

 

Ditto :deal Mayweather is more a james toney then he is a Ray Leonard / JMM or any other kind of boxer-mover.


Btw, people will think I'm crazy but I think Floyd's size advantage (height, not reach) actually benefits Pacquiao. I think part of the reason Pac dose better against bigger fighters is that he has a bigger target in front of him. There's more room to hit. Smaller fighters like JMM can dip and get away from Pacquaio's punches easier, then a bigger guy can.

 

Pac is a warrior, I don't see him getting walked down, he will do the same thing he always does if someone tries to walk him down which is bounce around and throw from different angles. Even if he was getting countered all fight doing that he will still bounce around and attack. The only way for Pac to get walked down is if he decided to try and counter Mayweather's lead offense rather then attack Mayweather. Which is possible if he realizes that Mayweather's hand speed is to fast to straight up attack.

At the same time I have never seen Pac fight an elite athlete who would look to walk him down with amazing reflexes & quickness to slip punches and hand speed to return fire quick while holding ground.

 

You are basing Floyd's entire fighting game on a few fights you idiot. Floyd was known as being a mover damn near his entire career and he could fight in the pocket thanks to his amazing defense. atsch

 

and the greatest 130 pounder is pryor.

 

The only boxing you have ever done is that video game that is your Avatar.

 

Plus you wouldn't think Marquez could walk down Mosley now

 

im basing it on all his fights you dummy, he isnt a mover he likes to fight up closeatsch

 

I've seen this-I'm just saying.ur analysis is off-look at Floyd as an entire fighter, not just "how he is with Southpaws"..
you'll get a better understandnig and a less bias one that way
