Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Joe Beamish]

Neither fighter -- Pacquiao OR Floyd -- has faced anyone like the other.

Floyd prepares better, has more tools, more skills. He will land on Pacquiao where others (except Marquez) have been unable to.

Remember how easily Floyd outboxed the master boxer Marquez? I mean...people should keep this in mind. He's so far beyond anyone else that it doesn't really matter how quick Pac is; Floyd is much smarter and much more dedicated to the sport of boxing.

styles makes fights. pacquiao's style is far far more dangerous against floyd than marquez's was. plus marquez wasn't properly conditioned at all for that fight either (was his first fight at welterweight and didn't have heredia).

also speed kills whether you want to believe it or not. not only is pacquiao very quick with his hands, but he is very quick on his feet as well. imagine how shocked floyd will be to finally fight a guy that doesn't slowly plod towards him. imagine how shocked floyd will be when someone throws lightning quick combinations from ALL ANGLES!!!! out of the southpaw stance. just imagine how floyd will feel when his nose and mouth fill with blood after eating the QUICK!!! and EXPLOSIVE!!! power punches from pac.

also look at the work rate of both fighters, floyd's work rate has been dropping considerably since 2013. in his last fight against maidana, floyd threw a little over 300 punches, whereas pac has been throwing well above 500+ quick lightning punches (over 650+ against algieri) in his last two fights! floyd can't just run around and pot shot and expect to win, that doesn't work against pacquiao. pacquiao will completely out work and out land floyd easily.

and floyd doesn't have the mental fortitude to go 12 hard rounds with pacquiao!!! just look at how "safe" he fought the 2nd fight with maidana and the measly 300 punches he threw. guaranteed the first hard quick straight left that pac lands will have floyd thinking about health more than ever.

is ***** walking him to the ring with his belts?

[KRITKL]

It's great reading the back and forth between factions about strategy. For those of us who weren't around to witness Ali-Frazier, this is our generation's version. Possibly bigger. I don't know why but I have a feeling it's going to be a pretty exciting fight in the ring.

Agreed.
I'm thinking Floyd is going to go in to the fight trying to make it look like SRL-Duran 2, but Manny's speed and awkwardness will eventually have it looking like SRL-Duran 1, with Floyd putting it out there on the line.
Can't ***ing wait.

Absolutely. I am picking Floyd by UD but I think a late Hatton TKO could be in play if Floyd has one more "Canelo" night left in him. If it's Maidana 2 again, its going to be tough night and May 3rd will be rough. But ill be logged on either way.

I just really think fans get too focused on Floyd's money persona and forget he never comes into a fight under prepared. I expect he and Roger will thoroughly break down Morales 1, the last 4 rounds of Bradley 1 and the 1st 6 rounds of Bradley 2.

Too bad, Floyd doesn't watch tapes of his opponents. Remember lol.

Maidana2 4 rounds
Maidana 4 rounds

Marquez III 5 rounds

Manny is the better boxer and will beat Floyd on a decision.

Yes it is confirmed there will be no 24/7 or All Access

Floyd never wanted it, the camera might see Memo giving him his special blend.

Manny hasn't faced a defensive wizard as good as Floyd.

Just ask Maidana whom many thought could knock Floyd out and/or put him down like he did Broner.
