Mayweather for the first time is facing a fighter that can beat him via the scorecards ie work rate and is a prime main stream HBO superstar that can get the nod with the judges ( A trait that Mayweather has).
You see Mayweather has always been the up and coming guy and had an edge with the judges to go along with his natural talent. Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao is now in that same place that Mayweather is.
I know some of you will be riled up by this but you need to wake to the real boxing world.
Yah Floyd can easily loose rounds on inactivity but i dont ever remember being him pushed; he guards and rolls so well hes never tagged solidly, its always just executing the game plan and not over expending himself ever. He doesn't need to push himself in the fight its not difficult enough but..
if hes gonna be pushed into a great fight Pacman will do it, hell get Floyd on the ropes and Floyd will get caught Floyd cant fight a straight up brawler on the ropes if he relies on that strategy he'll definitely loose on points even if Manny doesn't tag him that often. He'll be forced to push himself and thats a side of Mayweather im really looking forward to seeing.
If he does fight defensively hes going to have to be EXTREMELY busy countering and countering in combination's. If he fights offensively hes going to have to do so defensively using his jab to set up counters etc. Either way if he gets pushed past the norm i will be watching very intentively.
I think Pacquiao is a tad bit faster right now than Floyd. Thing about this fight (If it ever happens) is Pacquiao is gonna keep coming after Floyd and Floyd may get frustrated with that, kinda like the nagging horse fly that won't go away until he gets you. However Mayweather is gonna put on a show regardless and get his licks, only thing Mayweather will have going for him is if the fight is in Las Vegas (Which I am assuming it will be). Judge wise its gonna be a fair fight, judges have been waiting for this fight eagerly as much as the fans have!!!!!
Yeah and a tad bit stronger than prime Tyson.
just when i thought these theories couldnt get any dumber.tell me about it...this thread again only proved why many posters on here should be tested before being allowed to become apart of this forum...man...mother****ers on here need serious help...

I agree. If they fight Mayweather won't have the judges in his pocket which will be a first time in his career.

I just said in another thread that Mayweather would spend a lot of time covering up due to the multifaceted approach of Manny in the ring and could potentially lose rounds due to inactivity. It can happen.
Thats the thing with this fight that i think Mayweather doesn't like. Mayweather could outbox him butwith PacMan's power and speed he will be moving away many ala DeLahoya vs Trinidad.
I think people underrate the fact that PacMan is a strong man. He keeps getting stronger while not losing speed. I would not be surprised if PacMan comes in bigger than Maywether in weight.
