He can run from canelo, cotto, maidana but not against Pac. Pac will be on him like white on rice. Floyd is hoping Pac has slowed down enough to beat him
I disagree on your point about canelo. Floyd looked SPECTACULAR in that fight. That being said a lot of that was on canelo who was simply lost and got no real advice from his corner. there were 30 seconds at a time where canelo literally did nothing. Floyd deserves his due he schooled the **** out of canelo. If floyd fans are happy about the way floyd looked vs maidana they are seriously delusional. Imo those are some of floyds worst performances. he nearly lost the first fight (i had it 7-5) and in the second fight he showed nice movement around the ring the first two rounds then seemed to slow down and stay in the pocket more which he didnt need to and got hit with a few solid shots including the one at the end of the 4th? round which if it had been the begining of the round he wouldve been in some serious trouble. Floyds legs are clearly not what they used to be. People are going to see a very ordinary looking floyd on May 2nd im absolutely convinced of it.
Pacquiao beats Floyd due to activity and foot movement. Manny will throw lot's of punches and use his footwork to get in position to throw these punches. MARK MY WORDS! Footwork will win Pacquiao.
understood .. but look at these fighter you talk of Morales was beaten by Zahir Raheem before losing to pac .. Morales was a shell of himself when they fought and was 100% shot. Cotto was a good win but this was also the same Cotto that was getting waxed by Zab, and needed to foul zab to keep from getting KOed.. Cotto's style has always been reckless and he was even more so after getting beat by Margarito. Cotto never really continued to develop after his should injury which is why Arum did not allow him to fight floyd at 140. Clotty - did the man even show up to fight ? Also he was outboxed by cotto, and some time just spaces out during fights. shane was a bit past it. Rios good fighter, but really, he was a plodding fighter at 135 he was even more so at 147 and no where near, anywhere close to a A class fighter even less so at 147. Margarito is a face first fighter, hardly what you would call a thinking man's fighter. Takes 5 blows to give one, and was sparked by Shane a year prior. Was this the same Margarito 3 years prior to his fight with pac ? NO! Not even close. And the Broken orbital and year lay off did nothing to help in that fight . Tim a very good fighter but lets be honest .. there is no one on his resume that prepares him against anyone on pac or Floyd's level not even close. Tim does does Not have enough tools in the tool belt. Algiri ? should not have even been in the same ring at this stage of his career. When facing sluggers pac does very will when fighter come right at him .. But against a world class well rounded boxer Pac has struggled and even lost. Pac's speed and awkward south paw style has always been able to bale him out of tuff situation. He has yet to deal with a fighter that is fast a or faster then himself and forced to adapt.
Understand that was against a fighter who was slow footed at 135, and this was his first fight 147 which he was even slower .. Of course Pac should be able to run combo on Rios every day of the week .
You can try and poke holes in his recent fights all you want. They are still miles better than Floyds.
You over looked one thing .. Floyd looks the way he looked in the Maidana fight only because Maidana use the 15 to 12 weight advantage to physically keep floyd stationary. He looked the same way against Castillio, Oscar and Boldimir all had over a 10lb weight advantage, and use the weight to their advantage. This now why Carnello want a rematch, after realizing the error of his ways. Pac will not have a size advantage but he will have a slight weight advantage. Even with the speed advantage a slower Marquez was able to time Pac repeatedly and catch him with power shots. Anyone that says Pac was dominating the fight until he got KOed forget Marquiz won the first two round along with the knock down. I had the fight close with the slight edge to marquz.
You got to be joking !! Are you saying Bradly who is the best on that list is better then Floyd? LOL!!
Floyd will have to roid up, stand flat-footed and try and out-muscle Pac. Floyds legs are shot. Plodding Maidana had him on the ropes in fight 1 and would have KO'd him in the 3rd if there were 15 more seconds left on the clock. Floyd was on ***** street. I think Manny will break him down and punish him.
I really think he might be roiding for this one. He never had the confidence that he would beat Pacquiao. Now we're getting him chopping wood to explain his increased muscle. He has Heredia around him too, trying to use the Marquez blueprint.
Rumors had it that Morales was beating Mayweather at sparring,,... Guess that's why he's picking Pacquiao,,... I'm not sure though,,... Cotto faced a prime Judah right??? Cotto made him quit,,... Clottey was not outboxed by Cotto,,... In fact, that was a close fight,,... Algieri earned the shot on Pacquiao just like Maidana and Guerrero on Mayweather,,... Margarito was once a feared man,,... Yep,, even Mayweather feared him,,... Rios is on the same level as Maidana,,...
