Why Mayweather Will Win!

2 words .... Body Shots!


Just for the record you can not "like" or "love" a fighter to victory. At the end of the day it comes down to skills, talent, and will and Floyd got that in spades!

Of course I read all the threads and opinions of fans and many who are going for Pac seem to not understand Floyd's fighting style at all. You guys seem to have an image in your mind of Floyd simply covering up, on the defensive, running as you like to say, trying to avoiding getting hit. Your image of Pac is that he will be coming forward..very aggressive, swamping Floyd in punch output while Mayweather goes 100% defensive like Mosley or Algieri or some other lesser talent.
Just in case you dont know, Floyd is a great defensive fighter but he is also a great offensive fighter. Mayweather has a lot more variety in his attacks than Manny does. The only people who would argue against that are those who do not understand what they are watching.

I'm not going to get into everything Floyd does well (which is a lot) except for this...Body Punching! Unlike any other opponent Manny has fought, Floyd is going to launch a sustained attack on Manny's body... left hooks, right hooks, the jab and straight right to the mid section are going to get the job done. Those punches hurt and Manny will slow down immensely after taking a few of those. I am sure by the 6th round Pac will noticeably be slower that he was early in the fight. The reason being will be a combination of missing punches and getting hit in the body.

Floyd is not going to be as interested in hitting Manny in the face,..not until later in the fight that is. The straight right of course will be there but early on there will be a lot of clinches (Manny jumping in) therefore in fighting and body work will present itself. Manny on the other hand is not a good in fighter so this aspect of the fight will be all Floyd.

Before this thread gets to long lets discuss one more thing; Floyd does not simply cover up or defend without countering. Floyd is always watching his opponent...even when he is in a shell he always fires counter shots. I have never...and nor have you...ever seen Floyd put on ear muffs and simply take a barrage of punches, like how you saw with Bradley or weight drained Oscar.

The body shots is how Floyd will deal with Manny's work rate. I gave Floyd the stamina category because I expect Manny to tire first. Pac does have great stamina though

 

Because Its fun to beat Manny inside and outside the ring

 

Is this really what you banking on? That Floyd will be scared, really dude? its the 9th inning and you are down to your last out

 

No he won't, because he is an excellent body puncher, his attacks will come when he's not in position to be countered. Just look at any fight when he fights a lefty, he destroys their body first

 

Agreed, Floyd is better at mid range but that is Manny's best chance. Inside and long distance Pac has no chance

 

That's what happens when Top Rank is involved....Arum thinks good undercard fights are stupid. But seriously, Floyd and Pac are getting paid so much they can't afford a decent undercard, it is unfortunate
