Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather. Why I view Manny as a VERY dangerous opponent.

[MindBat]

WOW!!

Glen Hamada 119-109 | Dave Moretti 116-112 | Jerry Roth 117-111 ~


Glen Hamada's Card was the most accurate...Zab didnt do **** in that fight. HOLY SMOKES he landed a couple left hands!! Marquez landed a few rights on Floyd too...whoopty doo.

You guys crack me up with this "He has trouble with southpaws ****"

Hold on there, Jiddu. Everybody knows who won that night.

I stated "Strategize" because Judah, being a southpaw, was effective in the early rounds against Floyd, right? He matched Floyd's speed.

Everyone knows why Judah stopped being effective after the first few rounds, is all I'm saying.

I didn't say Manny will fight the same exact fight. Cause he can't.

Manny's hand speed and punch out put will bother Mayweather. Marquez was slow and didn't punch very much. Adding the weight bothered him. Manny has retained his power and speed since moving up in weight. Manny vs Floyd would be a good fight, but Manny has important business on the 14th.

Exactly. He proved it against Hoya.

Yet people keep claiming "he's too small to fight a Welter."

And he's fighting Cotto at Welter?

Freddie says "Manny's best fighting weight is 149."

Who are we to believe? Freddie? Or some posters who say Manny can't hang at 147?

It's just Pacquiao fans who are using this as a coping method when Mayweather beats him.

Understandably. But even so, we still have to see how Manny performs against a legit Welter in Cotto.

If he struggles against Cotto, there's no doubt Freddie will be keeping him below Welter from then on.

[S A M U R A I]

Freddie is probably right -- MP's best fighting weight in the ring is around 148/149. That's small compared to most welterweights. Pacquiao seems more like a 140lb fighter to me, but let's see how effective he is against Cotto.

Cotto is gonna get his ass kicked.

good analysis. southpaw stance can really give problems to a guy who uses the shoulder roll
