We're gonna find out something, can Floyd actually lose a decision and can someone beat Pacquiao on the backfoot? Surely that just allows Pac to flood him with punches.

Pac is a great fighter but Mayweather is going to make that boy look ordinary around the 5th or 6th rd.......
Pac's only chance is to slug it out, Mayweather is too smart and too defensive to do so

plus Mayweathers reach is longer, IMO when Pac jumps in to punch he will taste a jab in the face way b4 his punch even gets an opportunity to land.......

Originally posted by fcastro1 View Postmayweather has never fought a fighter of the speed, accuracy of pac. that is key, because his d will get tested like never before. at some points he will have to exchange because pac is the only fighter fast enough to keep up with his pace.

Originally posted by S.G. View PostI think Pacquiao's footwork and accuracy might negate your first point about Mayweather's stance - and if Mayweather withdraws directly backwards against Manny he may find himself in trouble. Pacquiao likes to sidestep and turn his opponent during or directly after a flurry too and Mayweather will likely be subjected to much more sustained attacks than he's had to deal with for a long time because of that.
I do think Mayweather will be too disciplined for Pacquiao though. The fact that he refuses to put himself in the line of fire by not committing to hurting the opponent makes him so hard to beat. His movement and sneaky counters should be enough to significantly cut down Pacquiao's workrate also.
One thing's for sure in my mind though - there's no way Pacquiao lands one of those one hitter quitters he caught Hatton and Cotto with on Floyd.
I said this before, the right hand is the conqueror of Manny. it is no coincidence that Diaz, Oscar, hatton, or cotto didn't have a right hand to save their lives!
floyd is master of distance and range, he also puts a lot of weight on his back foot which makes him very elusive and fluid. He will beat manny easily. manny threw a lot of punches on a mostly stationery Cotto and landed about 40%. floyd is gone land close to 50% of his power shots and the check hook will reservice in the fight as key weapon for manny as well.
Manny does like to circle his opponents but only after a flurry. if u diffuse his flurry, his footwork is pretty ordinaryLast edited by cortdawg25; 11-19-2009, 03:07 PM.

In any way you look at it any REAL boxing fan will tell you that floyds skill in the ring is just too good. Out of some weird belief I still think that Pac can pull it off. Why? Because Pac imo I dont think Pac has peaked yet. His ability to still get better is crazy. When it comes to boxing strategy Freddie > Floyd Sr. anyday. Floyd Jr. doesn't watch old tapes of fighters didn't he say that? Freddie is really good at pointing out flaws and Manny is really good at following instructions and add to the fact that Manny always brings 110% into the ring.
From a betting standpoint I'd bet on Floyd without a doubt. My heart says Pac but my head says Floyd.
