Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[ELPacman]

just found this interesting article, though it was before the official announcement or probably way before that

It's one of the most accurate articles written in the way many people describe each fighter's strengths and weaknesses.

The most intricate detail that he SLIGHTLY touched up on was mental strength. He mentioned that most fighters get discouraged when they can't hit Jr. Most of Jr.'s opponents have been mental midgets. Pacquiao is not. His will to win is great no matter the odds or how steep the fight gets. He showed against Marquez in the earlier fights that even neck to neck all the way down 12 rds, Pacquiao maintains his mentality all the way until the end.

have you seen how many misses he made against a running algierri?

did he even stop chasing him until the "12th round" ? that with already 6 knock down score.

If that was some "slick bruvah" he would have dance the night away from 10th to the 12th.

like what one poster wrote, job is done no need to risk anything. smart aye?

what the slick bruvah forget was that the paying public did not spent their hard earned money to watch a run hug and dance err i mean sweet science in the making.

I don't know if they are bluffing, but early whispers from the Mayweather camp are that he is going to be aggressive and try to walk Manny down, and go to his body on the inside. I think this would be a huge tactical screw up, the last thing he needs to do is walk to Manny or stand still. That is when Pacquiao is at his best, when fighters are walking into his wheelhouse. The way to make Pacquiao look awkward and give him problems is moving to his right and using the jab and combinations. Like I said, maybe the Mayweather camp are playing games, or maybe Floyd really wants to make a statement. I can't believe Floyd Snr would agree to this strategy as he likes Jr to fight defensive and use his jab, but we also know he doesn't call the shots.

i hope this is what floyd really plans on doing hahahahahaha. he'll make the big mistake thinking he can bully pac around the ring. BIG MISTAKE.

this fight will look like duran vs leonard I. floyd going to try and fight pacquiao's fight and lose doing it.

That is exactly what I was thinking, Brawl in Montreal. Floyd could lose by attempting the wrong strategy, and there are quite a few similarities to that situation, i.e. Even though it isn't Manny directly, people have questioned Mayweather's manhood, like Duran questioned SRL. I am wondering whether the constant goading from fans, pundits, and even fighters has got to him. Up to this point Floyd has never been distracted from his goal, which is always to win in the easiest manner possible, only a couple of times has he deviated from this, once against Corley where he was hurt and Mosley where he was also hurt, he fought aggressive against Zab and Mitchell but that was the strategy from the beginning and the right one. I am wondering if this time is different, I am still not expecting him too, but he could well be trying to make statement and fighting aggressive against Pacquiao for the wrong reasons.
