Dwyer responds to Al Bernstein, Hammers Pacquiao. Picks Mayweather to destory him....

[daggum]

floyd didn't have enough confidence in his defense against mitchell, corley, judah or any other southpaw he's fought to lay back and counter punch so why is he going to do that against pac who is a much better offensive fighter? he's always looked to get off first and take the play away from southpaws because he doesn't trust his defense and countering ability against them.

floyd can't fight like marquez against southpaws so comparing them is irrelevant. marquez has shown that he can fight off the back foot and time southpaws with deadly combos. he's also not afraid to get hit to hit his opponent. floyd has never shown these 2 qualities. as steward said "you can't outbox pac you are gonna have to fight him." and that's what he did.

floyd the defensive master does not exist in this fight. the evidence we do have shows that he will try to be aggressive and back pac up unless he completely changes his style just for this fight. either way his chances don't look good and he knows it.

I mean I disagree with you in general here man, but I have to be honest it is very refreshing for someone to give analysis of why Pac would win beyond "he outworks him" or "he's too fast" So props to you.

1. The Philly Shell is open for left hand straight and a right hook. Two of Pac's biggest punch

2. The high guard that Floyd employs in most of his fights against southpaw negates whatever reach advantage he has and makes him flat footed and of balance. And against a fighter who likes to move in and out, it places him at a slight disadvantage.

3. Floyd's habit on laying in the ropes plays on Pac's hand because Pac will not stop throwin. Floyd can only roll with the punches for so long but eventually some of those punches will land on Floyd. Pac may throw 1-2's but he varies the shots, the angle, and the combination of those punches. Floyd is not goin' to win a fight by layin down the ropes and counterpunching. Especially against a pressure fighter like Pac.

4. Pac knows how to break a hold. He would usually take one step back to break the hold and then move forward or sidestep to continue his attack. And he does this with speed and aggresiveness.

5. Pac's uppercut is one of the most underrated punch in his arsenal. But its lethal.. its actually the punch that cause the cut on Margarito's face. Floyd's habit of moving his head down low actually makes him a target to Pac's uppercut.

6. The jab, which is Floyd's biggest weapon does not work on southpaw. Everybody knows that an orthodox fighter's jab is useless against a southpaw simply because of the southpaw's right hand get's in the way of an orthodox fighter's jab.

7. If Pac has fought mostly left hand dominant fighter since Marquez, then Floyd has fought flat footed fighter since Judah. With Hatton being the exception for both (Hatton is neither left hand dominant, nor flat footed).

8. Judah fight is not a good example of Floyd's mid-ring adjustment since Judah's reputation as a 4 round fighter. So its not floyd's adjustment but more of Judah's mental toughness.

disagree with the second

maybe for about 4 rounds he was tough to figure but Mayweather does what a lot of people do not give him credit for, make proper adjustments and bank rounds

What was the adjustment Floyd made, or rather the adjustment Uncle Roger asked him to make?

[Pocket Dogs!]

While I believe that Mayweather will beat Pac, he will go through hell to get that win. It's true that counter punching is Pac's kryptonite BUT the counter puncher has to fight back during Pac's explosions. Marquez and Morales weren't afraid to trade with Manny. Many haters of Pac still believe that Marquez schooled Pac in both fights but both fights were extremely close and competitive. Even the first Pac/Morales fight was close.

Why not we just wait until after the Mosely fight. I expect something big.

[HighFlyer]

nothing new. a lot of folks say the same thing, including probably half of pac fans. you'd wonder why his fans defend the obstacles he's put in this fight. i guess they're content their idol winning in fantasy fights.

i have yet to see floyd's interest and enthusiasm for this fight before taking these floyd beats pac nonsense seriously. but it's too late. fact that he's not even doing anything about it means floyd, the guy who will fight in the ring, yes the guy who knows himself more than any boxing commentator or any clown in this forum, feels that he's going to lose in this fight. his own father feels the same way. nothing will make puking sense.

truth, nothing but the truth...*****s are crying now
