Skip Bayless seems to think Floyd will basically duck and move for 8 rounds but Pac will catch-up to him. I think he said...no way can he come back off this long of a layoff and beat Pac. He also said Pac punches faster than SRL and compared him to Ali like speed.
The other guy, black guy, also favored Pac...and also mentioned the layoff and that Pac is in his prime and we just don't know where Floyd is at in his career. We can't expect him to be the same now.
Something like that...
"Didn't Ali say you can't hit what you can't see?"
"Yeah sooo?" :lol1:
Sounded like Bayless didn't understand what he meant lol, hes jumping on the bandwagon when saying Floyd has "no chance"... I respect the thing about the layoff though.
Not really 147. He hit Oscar with 150000 punches and couldn't drop him once. At 140 maybe so...but you would hurt any1 if u landed THAT clean...
Tell me who has ever been able to drop Oscar besides a great Middleweight like Hopkins. Oscar should not be a measuring stick of Manny's power.
Check out the very end of this round and watch Floyd take some shots to the body and then a hard hit to the head
Also listen to what they are saying about Castillo's weight at the beginning
But you can skip ahead to 2:45
Like I said give me a fight breakdown on how Pac will destroy Maywetaher easily...like you said.
You cant do it because your a fan boy...
And lemme guess youll be betting all your points on Pac right??
Just comparing defenses, Marquez's style is much better for handling Pacquiao than Mayweather's IMO. Marquez holds his right hand in front of his face to pick off the straight lefts and then counter with his own punches.
Mayweather's shoulder roll doesn't work with southpaws. The shoulder roll picks off left jabs with an open glove, rolls rights with the shoulder and catches hooks with the right glove pressed up to the cheek.
A southpaw throws right hooks where the shoulder can't catch the shots and the left hand goes straight down the pipe. Mayweather had trouble stopping Judah's straight lefts and right hooks early, same with Corley.
Still, I agree that these two ESPN guys have little to no comprehension of the sport of boxing. They are just easily amused by the spectacle of the knockout. Still, I think this is a fight that will be Mayweather's toughest fight stylistically, but it will also be the axis by which his legacy tilts.
Had the 1st and 10 guys picked Mayweather,
the usual suspects would be signing up to chug on their balls.
yea right. nobody would care, because it was skip bayless, in which case, it no longer matters.
Look. I fully understand the vastness of Maywether's skills and the extent of his physical abilities. I acknowledge his victories in his career and the fashion that he accomplished them. He's amazing. No doubt.
But so is Pacquiao.
I don't know why anyone would think that Mayweather would simply mop the floor with Pacquiao. The only times in Floyd's career in which he appeared vulnerable was against southpaws. Case in point; Zab Judah, Demarcus Corley. Both fighters have hurt Floyd with right hooks. Pac has a tremendous one. Zab has hurt Floyd with a straight left. Pac has the best in the business.
Mayweather should win. He has pretty much every advantage going in this fight, save for power. But we know that in boxing, that variable plays a factor in fights of this magnitude. If and when this fight happens, and it's way to big for it not to, all those Mayweather fans thnking he'll walk through Pac might be setting themselves up for a huge disappointment.

Not if Skip Bayless says it.....Dude picked the Hornets to win it all this season
Did Pacman remain stagnant after the rematch? He didn't improved his defense? His offense? His movements? His POWER at all? If the rubber match happens at 140, JMM is going down hard...
As hard as the thing in your hand?
He wouldn't survive it.
Pac's a good fighter. A GREAT fighter.
But he's not Zeus Almighty spraying lightning bolts down from the end of his mighty penis. If he were he would have sent Marquez down the Styx.
"Geometrical nightmare" - Jesus H. Christ - It's like death by a thousand adjectives.

I guess it didn't occur to you that Pacman brings something different than any other boxer out there, he keeps you preoccupied fending off his attacks. Oscar and Ricky TRIED to hit back, but with Pacman's unpredictable moves, they don't know where to find him. Manny's not your typical boxer where after observing his moves for a while, you can time/clock him afterwards; he's a geometrical nightmare and feels like he has 4 hands out there when he's on assault mode...

Teddy atlas can pick Floyd to win and his still winning
Nothing is getting in Floyds way
If Floyd does that, he is truly the greatest of his generation.
Im so glad its not you whos in pacs corner.
There is one thing that pac does, constantly. he falls in EVERYTIME he throws a big combination, and he also did it when he came with the right hook against hatton. Hatton caught his ass with a left, and it hurt him. Do you know that mayweather throws lead rights and lead lefts like nobodys buisness? he also does it coming off the gaurd, come on man
I have the fight recorded on my DVR, it has a super-slow mo feature. Pacman threw a left, while Ricky simultaneously threw a right. Ricky hit Manny's left arm and Manny slipped a bit and was off balanced. Pacman didn't get tagged, but you are correct, when Pacman goes for the homerun and missed, he falls or usually caught off balanced...
For me there's far too much significance being attached to Pac's wins vs Oscar and Hatton. Whilst I thought both would test him - neither were in much shape to. Both were little more than punch bags and he probably had a harder time in sparring.
Before I'm convinced he can take on and beat Floyd he needs to face someone who hits back. And hard.
Because you know Floyd will.

Marquez didnt counterpunch his way to success against Pacquiao like most believe. Marquez tried counterpunching for 3 mins of the first fight and got laid out on his 3 times for his troubles. What Marquez did was beat Pacquiao to the punch. Hence why you hear Roach constantly telling Pacquiao to be 1st in between rounds. Something that Mayweather doesnt particulary specialize in.
Mark my words...if Mayweather tries to counterpunch against Pacquiao he's going to get knocked the **** out.

The idea that if mayweather "counterpunches" he gets knocked out shows your lack of experience with the sport and with your own fighter. Pac has improved, but he still makes 2 key mistakes, jumping in during flurreys, and falling in after throwing them. A guy like mayweather THRIVES when you try that on him.
This is what marquez figured out, and yes HE DID counter pacman, CONSTANTLY. Everytime pac fell in, marquez caught him. You take away the knockedown in that 2nd marquez fight, marquez wins, thats how close it was.
The difference is mayweather is defense first, its because hes defense first is WHY you dont rush in, hes waiting for something like that. I have watched mayweather since the olympics and into his pro career, i know for a fact that while i dont count pacman out, if he falls in against mayweather, its curtains. He also wont be reaching back from the hip to throw a right hook, thats where the devastating power came from to knockout hatton who stood there and took it.
Honestly man, i see you make alot of stupid assumptions but this one takes the case.
