Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Strategic1]

Well yeah, eating punches will drain your energy. Stating the obvious there. And you're stating the obvious when you say stamina is an issue when opponents pressure him. These are issues for every fighter if the opponent is able to successfully pressure and land punches. It's how Margarito made his living. Trinidad. Chavez. Etc etc. This isn't something exclusive to Zab.

so then I guess we can both agree that both mental and physical stamina played a part. ...perhaps mental and willpower moreso.

Pac by all accounts is very intense in the ring. So compared to Judah, Pac is on another level in terms of willpower/mentally.

Mayweather has broken the wills of his past opponents. But it won't be as easy against PAC. I think it depends on whether PAC will respect Floyd's power punches. If he does and causes Pac to hesitate and think,...then Floyd will probably win. But if PAC dictates the pace, Pac will have a chance for the upset.

Floyd has a good feel for where he is at in his fights. If he is behind by round 7, it'd be interesting to see how he'd react.

Very true with one caveat: For the last five years or so everyone knows that Zab is a professional gatekeeper. You better be on your toes and the first rounds can be dangerous, but Zab never dissapoints and will inevitably fade. Mayweather knew this. Mayweather certainly did what he should have, and he did so skillfully, but me thinks Zab fades never the less.

Zab will always get fights and runs because he is the quinesential professional opponent, vis a vis gatekeeper.

Watch the fight closely. Judah's success in the early rounds was from working off of his lead hand.




Mayweather made the adjustment and started to counter Judah's jab and Zab had no answer. His lead hand was setting up his entire attack.


It wasn't simply a matter of Zab being a mental midget. Floyd just made better adjustments.

No, we don't agree. The physical part comes from the opponent implenting their plan and landing to his head and body. Not just from Zab standing there.

Anyway, Pacquiao would be foolish NOT to respect Floyd's power. And he will. Or he'll learn.

I swear it seems like every fighter making a prediction is either paid by Pac or Floyd or has an ulterior motive. This fight can't come fast enough

That's funny because when I asked who other than Marquez, in the entire history of boxing has gained punching power in the tail end of their career coming up in weight, you agreed with Pacquiao as an answer.

Aww why do you get so bothered when I state simple facts? Post it with me. Manny has never had a KO or TKO victory at 147. He hasn't won a fight via stoppage in over 5 years (although he has lost via stoppage in that span). If this fight doesn't go the distance I will be extremely surprised.
