Pacquiao was considerably marked up after the Clottey fight. Clottey landed a few uppercuts and straight punches which were not huge power shots but did have an effect on Pacquiao. Mayweather is a defensive master, throws very quick punches which are accurate and he does have some power which Marquez will testify too. If Clottey can enjoy limited success, Mayweather will have a field day. Yes Pacquiao is a fantastic fighter, but Mayweather will do much better than Morales when h beat Pacquiao. I also think that Freddie Roach and Manny genuinly dont like Mayweather, he will go in the ring angry and ultimatly end up like Ricky Hatton. Enjoying limited sucess early before being slowly dismantled down the home stretch. Ive got £500 on a Mayweather win when the bookies announce the fight. It will end via a Mayweather victory, more than probably a unanimous decision.
Those shots CLottey landed were pretty vicious actually. It shows you how much of a chin Manny's got. They never made him wince. The problem is that Mayweather doesn't throw enough punches. He barely throws more then Clottey did last night. He also doesn't have the power. He's had trouble in the past against southpaws as well. I think Manny can beat him in the middle of the ring or on the ropes. It's a nightmare kind of style matchup for Floyd imo.
on the flip side if Judah can have limited success, Pacquiao will have a field day. These kind of comparisons never tell the whole story.
of course marquez can testify to how hard he hits, he outweighed him by like 15lbs on fight night, why do you think he refused to be weighed the day of the fight. I also don't think winning one round against the pac EVEN counts as limited success. Pacman has always bruised easily for his fights. Mayweather does have a decent reach advantage against pac, 5 inches I believe. To be honest I don't know how mayweather will do against an actual ww till he fights mosley, then I will make a prediction for his "supposed" fight against pac.
