Analysis on Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather.

[boxasmash]

If you watch Mayweather's fights vs Southpaws he very rarely clinches, much less than he does vs orthodox fighters anyway because of the odd angles. This will work to Pacs favour hugely.

I'll be happy if this fight even happens right away. Mayweather has shown continously that he will do anything to avoid any fighter who has a decent chance of beating him. Look at his last few opponents, name one in their prime provern welterweight. Mayweather is a decent fighter but this pound for pound crap he likes to have labeled on him is bull. HE IS A FAKE. As he has said time and time again he is a businessman and as long as Joe public will pay for him to fight has beens and little guys he'll continue to do so. Manny by far is the REAL fighter in this equation, he has moved up in weight and fought the REAL guys most by the way such as COTTO Floyd refused to fight. As you can tell I'm not a Mayweather fan, I think he is more of a self obsorbed blowhard oppertunist than a real fighter.

But floyd's last few fights have been same for manny as well so that makes no logical sense. a fighter can't be a good win for 1 fighter and a bad win for another fighter especially when the bad win came 1st. and what is a bad win...that don't even make sense.

Everyone knows how Floyd fight; so with that being said, Pac's performance on a prime, "stronger", "bigger", technical Cotto, is impressive to say the least.

Cotto proved in the first 4 or 5 rounds (despite knock downs) that he can box Pac. That Jab was the ideal weapon as many people predicted it to be. With all respect to Pac, I believe Cotto lost his composure and couldn't re-establish himself because of Pressure. But considering your initial post...Mayweather will most likely connect just as Cotto did if not more effeciently. HOWEVER looking at your photos posted Mayweather likes to pop up to deliver his "Left Hook" or "Check Hook" as he calls it and lower his right. Pac has a very dangerous left...and it delivers. (Hatton, DLH and now Cotto).

But I believe it's the same "Smart" pressure that Cotto faced will most likely be the issue in Floyd's case. Cotto too is a ring savvy boxer with good reflex and "above great" boxing ability. I cannot begin to predict who would win the fight, but I think Pac has the speed, reflexes, angles, and volume to potentially outwork, outpace, and outfight Floyd...and I didn't even mention Roach as a great trainer. So...with that being said...Pac has a pretty damn good chance at Mayweather.

manny didn't show good pressure...he couldn't even cut off the ring. all he id ws follow Cotto. cotto is no superb boxer, he has to plant to punch and he is very robotic. Floyd is fluid motion and get use angles just as well.

But Floyd is a master of distance and setting and traps and making u think. manny is gonna have to deal with feints, triple jabs, lead hooks, lead right hands, jabs to the body, up jabs. and once floyd got his jab going, then that is when the lead hooks wil be efficient. manny will prolly walk rightinto a check hook!

10 punches a round aint beating pac.

Certainly true, but Pac was repeatedly lowering his left slightly as he came towards Cotto, he does that against Floyd and he'll be eating lead rights before he can get close enough to throw himself.

he won't need to clutch often. all he ahs to do is stick that right shoulder into manny chest like shield and he controls distance and can roll uppercuts right under manny left. just like what he did to Oscar.


manny's best shot at landing on floyd will be wild looping punches. but he doesn't have the reach to land it though. corley landed a looping left, but corley has a 178 cm reach

zab barely landed punches and he was just as quick with a reach just as long.

yall don't understand the distance and range in this fight. manny isn't that much if at all quicker in hands or foot to overcome that distance.

50 well placed punches will though!

and he also slides left when he throws the left hook. but before he throw it, he'll set it up with the jab. So it'll look liek a jab and turn to left hook.

Even though i am rooting for Pacquiao if it happens, I do think Mayweather wins based on his superior boxing ability and defense.

manny is southpaw...so his lead shoulder will be his right shoulder. so if Floyd throws that leadleft hook and slides left, he is out of range of anythign Manny can throw!
