now, many of you on here know me as a floyd fan or "stan" for all the people who hate my posts, but 1 thing i do know better than anyone else on here, is floyd's style, hell boxers' style in general i know very well, i study fighter's training sessions, fights, from pillar to post...i watch them in slow motion, for hours because i love to break styles down...and mark my words, floyd mayweather will decisively beat manny pacquiao...here are 10 reasons why--
10)floyd has much better control of his punches
~what do i mean by this you wonder? floyd has amazing control of his punches which is why he doesn't have to have great punching power to knock his opponents out or down or effectively hurt or stun them...take corley, for instance--floyd threw many slapping punches at corley and effectively hurt him many times in the fight...like round 8, when he landed that combo in the pocket, and corley went down following that...or take gatti for instance, when floyd landed that combo in round 6, and effectively hurt gatti...his control of his punches is something he mastered long ago...manyy pacquiao has gotten better as a fighter and has gotten better at controlling his punches, but against floyd, he would have stop throwing wild punches and time his punches right to have a hint of a chance against floyd...i don't care how fast manny's punches are...thrwoing sloppy at floyd is bad news...i don't see how manny is going to beat this guy...
9)floyd is stronger than pacman
~and he damn sure is...manny hits harder than floyd to a lot of you people right? he damn sure doesn't hit harder than de la hoya, and floyd took punches from oscar very well...he was never hurt in the fight, not even once...but the strength i'm referring to is overall strength...floyd is stronger than what people give him credit for...he has the ability and has shown this in previous fights with coralles and gatti, two bigger men, that he can spin their body around and land something of his own...that takes a lot of strength...floyd has power, but his overall strength is what makes him that much harder to defeat...he bascially man-handled hatton and gatti like he wanted to, and i'm not talking just punches, i'm talking moving them around the ring before he punched...that takes strength...manny showed it against diaz, but i really haven't seen him look that strong overall...he has great power in his punches buit against floyd, i see him getting man-handled fairly easy...we'll see though...
8)floyd counters effectively off of the block...
~God knows i have put this in many of my posts in the past, but this is the best trait i feel floyd has...i go back to the fights with gatti, justin jukko, and tony pep...also gerena...floyd has the abilty not only to dodge punches and counter, but block punches and counter very effectively...i have not seen any fighter block manny's punches and immediately hit him afterwards, not even marquez...i guarantee you, floyd will...people say his shoulder roll won't be effective against manny, like hell it won't...floyd has the ability to block a punch with his shoulder and land a hook afterwards...ask those guys who i listed earlier...that is the triat people don't talk about onhere...throwback fighters like floyd patterson also did this...it is a very effective punch...floyd has snake eyes, so he can see fast punches coming, and i know manny has speed and throws in bunches, but i guarantee you, floyd will block many of those punches and counter them immediately....manny is known for taking punches by counterpunches, and floyd is the best at it...and why? just watch how he trains with the mitts...people like to criticze that but, imo, it's the best type of padwork there is to have, because he covers also boundaries...he not only blocks punches to the body, but he blocks punches and then counters with hooks...you have to watch closely, it's a great method to have...manny majority of the fighters like manny, shane, cotto, hatton, have basic padwork routines, and it has cost them victories imo, a very important trait...floyd's padwork is top notch and on it's own level...he fights off the ropes blocking and slipping punches and then countering, which is why his skill is leagues above those other fighters i mentioned...i'm telling you, manny has a lion type of style but he's fighting a kobra/rattlesnake, and floyd knows too many fundamentals and will beat this man soundly....
i'll stop there for now...i have to go back to work...but give me some feedback and arguments guys....i'll post the rest later today...
