Not so Agressive Pacman?

[tdotslugger]

Anyone else think Pac will not be as aggressive against floyd? or try to make him think that way for the first cpl of rounds anyway to throw floyd off so he can't adjust to pac?

Pac/Roach obviously know they can't go in there throwing bombs.

Pac needs to start fast and then maybe take it back a bit.

Floyd can lose rounds early, so Manny is best advised to capitalize on that and sweep the first 3 rounds. Easier said than done though.

i think pacquiao needs to fast and try to take out floyd in the beginning.

he'll be doing his best work being aggressive in the beginning before floyd is able to adjust to his speed and style.

once floyd adjusts in the mid rounds , then pac should change it up to being a come forward counter puncher.

walk floyd down to the ropes and corner and time floyd when floyd leads to back pacquiao off.

pac needs 3 gameplans here.

the aggressive slugger from the beginning , a game plan for when floyd adjusts in the mid rounds and an emergency nothing is working plan for if neither is working.

i thought of this aswell..they may try to start slow..but floyd aint dumb..if manny starts slow he'll just be giving rounds away and taking punishment

He needs to start fast, no matter what Floyd's plan to start is. However, I could absolutely see a patient Pacquiao trying to draw Mayweather into a fight, something I think is underrated about Pacquiao. People think his opponents are just ****** trying to brawl with Pac, I think he has just learned how to lure you into a brawl.

It will be interesting. I don't think Manny will be able to straight box with
Floyd though, and he won't enjoy much of a speed advantage like he is used too. So I'm thinking he will come out aggressive, trying to pick angles to attack from and launching 2nd and 3rd attacks off his first ones.

Be interesting to see what Freddie has in store though.

If manny is trying to out-think Floyd in the ring, manny is on the road to an L.

Manny needs to use his physical superiority. Because he is at a technical and knowledge deficiency.

If the judges see a tentative or hesitant Manny, how will they score those rounds? Think about that.

He has been fighting guys who love to brawl.

DLH, Hatton and Cotto love to trade. And Shane said that he wanted to fight Pac so they could trade.

Floyd wants to slow it down and make it technical. I don't envision Manny "luring" Floyd into anything.

in football, its called a blitz...Team PAC is dialing it up on every down/round

blitz in the first few rounds.

cover 2 in the mid rounds once he's ahead.



floyd will be down on points so he'll be forced to throw the ball more to catch up.

that's when ronnie lott catches the receiver and decapitates him.
