Ok this fight is now a 55-45 type of type for me leaning towards Pacquiao. The reason I think that Pacquiao still beats Mayweather is that he wont respect Floyd's power combined with the fact Pacquiao throws combos. Think about it. Everytime any fight was considered close by Floyd standards is because they didnt respect his power. Look at Canelo (Corrales, Hatton, Mosley, etc). Canelo would get popped in the face or body and he would either freeze or try to return fire throwing one punch. Now look at Maidana (Castillo, De La Hoya, Cotto). Floyd would still freeze them at points. But there would be times where he threw the straight right and almost regretted it right away because they would get hit and return fire with combinations causing Floyd to cover up. So what does all of this mean for Pacquiao? But Maidana and Pacquiao fight differently!!!! True modasockas but so do Cotto and Maidana. Pacquiao will not respect Floyd and at times he will wait for Floyd to lead and at others he will lead. Floyd will not be accurate in this fight. Pacquiao's recent head movement will cause fits. Watch the Bradley 2 fight again and study how Pacquiao fought in that fight. Floyd will be reacting to almost every feint, cover up and Pacquiao will take advantage and throw shots that may not land but due to activity will deserve the round. If Pacquiao does land often, Mayweather start shelling up more often causing him to lose rounds. Ok so lets talk boxing. But no "pacquiao fights like an amateur" or "floyd is ducking" bull****. Strictly boxing please for once on this damn forum no fan boyism.
I agree with you or at least thats what I want to believe. Pac seems a lot more tentative when he fights these days which makes me worried hes lost the biggest advantage he had in this match up. If he does indeed fight wrecklessly like he has in the past then I'd say he still wins.
pac is a southpaw. remember that everytime you thin k about the matchup. corspejr doesnt box southpaws, he fights them. lust watch the madona rematch: corpsejr tried to steal the first few rounds with jabs esp to the body. that wont happen against a southpaw, especially against pac's speed and power, because he is vulnerable to counter/check right hook and left upper cut. how many times he tried pull counter on slow ass madonna? again, that doesnt happen against a southpaw. he wont be pulling a counter on a straight left. 2 of his main weapons are out against a southpaw, where will get his points with his pathetic offense? his main weapon will be his lead right. lead right vs. straight left and combos? pac all day. on defense, his shoulder roll doesnt work against southpaws, which means he wont be able to lay on the ropes and rest, which means, he will be jumping like a kangaroo for 12rounds, which he wont be able to do. his main defense will be running and hugging, more hugging than running. the fight will resemble the madona rematch except corpsejr will not score enough points to steal rounds. if he gets desperate, pac will knock him out.
Agreed. After that KO Loss to Marquez, he seems to have lost that aura of invincibility when he fought, that mentality of I DONT GIVE A ****. now hes more reserved and seems to double think his offense
Sorry but Pac fights way more tentative now than he ever did. He fought with caution against a lightweight in Rios and he fought the same way against bradley and was even stunned by him and bradley doesnt stun anyone that matters. But you expect him to throw caution to wind against floyd who he will be at a size and reach disadvantage against. Come on now. If bradley is hurting him then i expect floyd to do the same. Pac cant get out of the way of a straight right hand to save he life. Floyd UD.
Actually both he and bradley looked liked crap. Correction: Bradley looked like crap while pac looked slightly better than crap.
If he won't respect Mayweather's power then prepare to see Pacquiao stunned and forced to respect it and calculate his attacks. Remember, if Bradley was able to stun Pacquiao recently wait till you see what will happen when Mayweather lands a solid counter. Pacquiao would have successfully not respected Mayweather power and charged in with effective aggression in 2009-2011, but after his brutal KO loss don't expect him to be able to show his infamous vicious attacks.
"Floyd doesn't fight Pac because he doesn't have the power of Mosley, man Floyd wants nothing of Pacquiao.." -Chop Chop Corley Austin Trout Has "No Doubt" That Pac Would Have Beaten Floyd... TIM BRADLEY Floyd doubts himself. Why wont he fight Manny? Scared, man. tyson basically said he's scared. holmes also said he's scared. roy jones jr said he's scared. stephen a now realized floyd's scared irvin said floyd's making brotha's look bad Muhammad Ali begs Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny wilbon called him a coward marvin called him a coward morales said floyd won't fight pacquiao "he's just playing with all you guys" allen green thinks floyd doesn't want to fight him james toney said he would put his money on pac by ko Quote: James Toney: I grew up with Floyd Mayweather we all came from the same block in Michigan. Me, the Mayweather family, Buster Mathis, Tony Tucker The Hall of Fame block, you know what Im sayin? I love Floyd and Im glad hes doing what hes doing but if you claim to be the best fighter in the world in the world pound-for-pound fight! Dont make no excuses. Pacquiaos going to knock Floyd out and Floyd knows it. Floyds my man and I love him but Im going to call it like I see it. The thing is this: Do you know what a rabbit does when it gets backed into a corner? It faints. And thats what Floyds doing. Aaron Pryor favors Pacquiao over Floyd: I dont think hes equipped to handle Pac Man scoop jackson hopped off, he ain't riding and dying with floyd anymore. bert sugar said floyd don't want none of pacquiao.
corpsejr cant take the punches macne took, esp the roided to gills version. it;s not like pac didnt hit macne, he put him on his ass many times. corpsejr will cover in fear everytime pac attacks. seems like you and your idol are match in heaven: you cant read too.:rofl are you corpsejr for real? serious question bro.
