Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Must Overwhelm Mayweather - Every Round!

[Hype job]

that's because they don't walk forward any more, he has fought most runners since Margo except Rios

Pacquiao is not great at cutting off the ring, I'm not sure if he has ever been good at it, but Floyd is not so good at running away any more.

Which is what makes it very interesting.

Glad to see PAC talking like this. Good sign.

Nothing wrong with what he said, but that's everyone's blueprint to beat Floyd!
The question is? Will your output drop as the rounds proceed? Does Floyd have the pop to keep you honest? Can you cut the ring off properly and regularly? Who makes the most mistakes? Pure speed vs quickness/timing!
Damn, my 2 favorites are going to have me giddy!

May the best man win!

Well its been a long time since he actually fought a fighter with nice hand speed.

Your saying Rios and Tim Bradley didn't have good hand speed? Rios problem was he knew he was going to get knocked out if he threw too much because he didn't have the defense to cope with Manny speed. Rios has hand speed and Tim Bradley definitely has some of the fastest hands at 147.

I dont see how anybody can bet against pacman at this point. He made a real bold statement saying there is no doubt and its time for mayweather to go. Pacquiao never speaks like that, hes always humble and says he has to be careful and he wanted to prove he still had the same aggression. Remember pacquiao is super religious. Pacquiao could have knocked out Rios, Bradley and algieri. He clearly spared algieri and Rios from knocking them out, and Bradley was also rocked many times by pacquiao and was out on his feet. Floyd has a problem on his hands because pacquiao now believes in all his heart that god is using him as a tool of good by destroying Floyd mayweather on may 2nd. Roach is right, pacquiao absolutely hates mayweather unlike almost all of his past opponents

Yes he will have to stay in Floyd's chest and give him no time to think

No floyds a great inside fighter as he is outside, mannys best beat is come in and out like oscar

What's wrong with that...if we were talking about these guys losing or being KO'd by a lesser opponent I could see being some shame there. Either man losing in this fight is nothing to be ashamed about. They are hard to argue against the two best fighters of their generation. That's like racing the two fastest cars against each other and railing on one for losing the race. The losing car is still better than 900 others. I just want this to be a straight up clean fight with no bullshhh or bullshh card scores. May the better man win on fight night.

well mayweather better watch out for that odd right hook of pacquiao's

Manny has superhuman stamina, we all know this. Look at the compubox stats of all of mannys fights and you will see that he always throws at a high volume, and tend to throw alot more in the championship rounds in alot of his fights. Pacquiao is also underated at cutting the ring off. Chris algieri is one of the fastest runners in the sport and Manny easily cut the ring off and was able to throw alot of combos while algieri was on his back foot. Pacquiao is alot more motivated for this fight. We might see pacquiao box like he boxed in Marquez 4, except this time pacquiao wont forgot to keep his chin down. Pacquiao is going to destroy this guy for a religious sacrifice to god in his mind. That makes him so much more dangerous

[Sosay]

No, it just means he is going to have to take some risks and push a pace making Floyd fight when he doesn't want to. He may pay for some of those risks but Floyd has some tendencies that can be exploited like a low work rate and stretches in rds where he is in defense mode not doing much offensively.

^^^^^^^^Best unbiased post on here, and true! And Manny has tendencies that play right into Floyds strengths, like being over aggressive at times, being off balance and not throwing the jab enough. But that's why this is still a great fight!

May the best man win!

That's what everyone says until they get into the ring with mayweather.

Exactly. It's not that easy.
