Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[D4thincarnation]

Ignore him, just get back to talking about the fight.
It's such an interesting match up, I'm rooting for Pac but Mayweather's style also poses big problems for Pac.

Again neither guy has faced similar styles both are unique moreso for Pac but Floyd's style can be emulated in terms of looks but no one is like Mayweather.

Yes, they both will find it difficult to get sparring partners than can mimic each others style.

How each other deals with each others speed will be telling. It may hinder Floyd more, because he is a counter puncher, so he waiting for Manny to throw first. Manny's fast hands gives Floyd less time to slip and throw back

Uh, what??

never mind, it was not that important really

As long as Manny is throwing some combinations he'll definitely get some shots in but not stay in too long in the pocket, we all know Mayweather's counter punching ability is second to none.

Manny can't be throwing just 1-2 punches, he needs to throw those combinations otherwise Mayweather will just time and pot shot to victory which I think many are banking on.

Yeah, you guys are really displaying some serious boxing knowledge here.

"Manny just so fast! He just so fast! He makes fast people look not fast!"

Forget about the fact that he can't cut the ring off, and that he won't be able to touch Floyd from the distance that Floyd will fight him at. Forget about that. Leaping in with his punches? That should work. That'll close the gap.

All those fast hands are gonna do is make him....miss faster.

But you guys are right. He's really fast. Some regular Bert Sugar's we have ourselves here

problem is manny doesn't move his head as much as he did anymore. Hope manny can find it in him to fight like how he did in 2008-2010 for just one more fight.

He can still fight like that, problem is, roach has a completely different plan for manny. Roach has been so sprung up on ko's, I blame some of pac's bad performance on that.

Manny's been going into his fights thinking ko and that's because it's been planted in his mind thruout training with roach making ko predictions talking about manny getting his opponent out in 3, etc.

There's no need for a ko, if it happens then that's a plus, but pac just need to stay busy, throw his punches and move, and repeat.

Floyd should get Zab, Erol Spence & Rigo(highly doubtful) or even Kendall Holt as sparring partners all fast southpaws with great straight lefts. Most Mayweather opponents get Karl Dargan & Steve Forbes.

Yes, throw a combo at times then move. Keep Floyd moving. Manny has the better stamina and can fight at a higher work rate.

Pacquiao should pot too some times with the straight left.

Floyd will be look for that straight right and Pacquiao just got to get his feet right so it can easily be slip.

Floyd does favour throwing straight punches and Manny guard is decent for that

If Manny can bring his right hook into play, then Floyd will be in real trouble.

Everyone's got an opinion on this fight but you're not showing much of anything but silly responses. Keep it up, hope we all get a good fight.

Maybe against Algeiri. I don't believe he was thinking KO against Bradley or Rios. I believe if Manny wanted to KO Rios, he could have.

That fighting in spurts? That's not thinking KO. Fighting for 30 seconds of a 3 minute round isn't thinking KO.

I have notice that too, Pac don't cut the ring off well when his opps going to his right side but when they are going to his left he cuts the ring off well
