he better land the right hand when he falls in otherwise he'll be a sitting duck for pacquiao to jump on as he recovers his balance, pacquiao isn't gonna be there to follow up on, and he wont give his back to floyd as he like mayweather likes to move to his power hand
im not saying he's gonna fight like this, im not saying he's not gonna land right hands, but 117-111 brought it up and im telling him it's not something worth putting into a strategy, he has a big reach advantage along with speed and that shoulder roll which is only gets better the taller you are than your opponent, it woud be nice if he could smother pacquiao, but it's not happening, only in the short instances that guys like rios etc got it, when pacquiao is taking a breather and you can get some free shots, but he'll have to make him work

I never said the fight was close either.

Utilizing his reach is all good and well but you also risk giving Pacquiao momentum coming forward. I don't understand the bold at all, everyone as of late has been able to get Pacquiao in the pocket for a good sustained amount, some of them just weren't quick enough to get off, especially not in the same manner Mayweather could. It's a different ball game, I know you acknowledged that already but what you put out seems to contradict that. Not gonna be there? I'm sorry but that's laughable.
rios, margarito and bradley are all decent enough inside fighters, and majority of the time they got inside when pacquiao wasn't taking his breather(which consists of a clinch) they were beaten on the inside
floyd doesn't really beat anyone with a clue on inside fighting in the inside, was beaten by guerrero in the few moments inside, beaten by maidana, and we all know the troubles he's had with other inside fighters, all he's good at is defending on the ropes
floyd with ariza can maybe show up like prime floyd and outbrawl old pacquiao like he did with corley and judah, walk through his punches and fold himLast edited by SplitSecond; 04-02-2015, 07:15 PM.
