Almost certain Pac had the longer Reach, and I made a comment about how short Algeri's arms were.

Correct. I was surprised at the fight night measurements. Floyd has 26' arm length.

Again, it's not about whether you have a reach advantage or not, it's about making your reach count and the best way to make it count is to keep it in front of your opponent's face to limit/stop his forward aggression while you can also instantly set up your own offense behind it at the same time. When you look at Pacquiao- Margarito, Pacquiao- Algieri, Pacquiao- Oscar, Pacquiao- Mosley, all of those guys didn't made their reach advantage count. It was Manny who used his lead hand to set up his attacks while some of those guys dropped their lead hands and just came forward at him. Manny made his lead hand count by constantly set up his straight left hand behind it. They threw a few stiff jabs here and there at him, then he slipped out to another angle and easily retaliated because those guys instantly pulled their lead hand up to guard their faces instead of measuring Manny's forward aggression and nullified his offense with it.

Football v boxing dude? the ring is 20 x 20 in the center of the field the rows of seats on either side. then the stadium seats. those in the stadium seats would have to watch on the monitor. during the football games they don't.

The people in the "best" seats for football would have tremendous difficulty looking up the whole night. Their viewing angle would suck.

What about if you have a seat on the field? the football field isn't flat. its more like a pitchers mound, but the angle isn't as steep. How do you overcome the fact people closest to the ring are higher than those behind them?

You are severely underestimating the difference between stadium seating and an arena designed specifically for boxing.

Strange since there have already been multiple fights at the stadium and no complaints....

Well, that's not what the initial convo was over. . . You said Algeri and Floyd have the same length reach. . . Not sure if you've been paying much attention to Floyd, but he makes his reach count in every fight. . . But anyway, I just want May 2nd to arrive, and hopefully it'll be hell of a fight from both sides.

Fl0mos are ******ed

They seem so desperate that their hero wins

Quoting stuff from Virgil hunter about tall fighters

Lmao

So now Floyd is a habitual jabber

damn the name calling is very juvenile.......talk about childish

[-PBP-]

Problem is that pacquiao doesn't constantly go backwards, he TURNS and goes around guys. He already does fight in different angles btw.

Yup. That's what makes the matchup intriguing.

Roach should ask Roy Jones to spar with Manny. I think he'd be a perfect sparring partner in preparation for Floyd.

Huh? Why?

Roy has the reach, size (somewhat), speed n accuracy n counter punching ability to help prep Manny.
