Who Can Adapt Best During A Fight - Mayweather or Pacquiao?

It is rare that Pac have to adapt. His first plan often works for him. It's PBF. I'd rate Marquez/EM ahead of Pac in this department. Marquez is usually very good at adapting too but he had problems in the Mayweather fight. Could have been the size, weight, age or just level of opposition.

Mayweather, he can adapt easily. Altough Pac has improved. Still, Floyd has the edge on this one.

One have to admit Mayweather win this one but we should understand boxing matches are specific...The trainer will formulate a fight strategy to battle their opponent.Therefore we can't really say they have to adapt during the fight since they are already well planned for. Very true. It evens out because of Roach. Pbf's versatility against Roach's gameplans.

Floyd...Roach is good at developing gameplans for Pacquiao...idk if Roger Mayweather ever does that for Floyd...

mayweather .

I'd have to go with Mayweather, and by quite a long shot too. For all Manny's virtues as a fighter, adaptability is not one of them. Thanks to Roach his preparation is excellent though, so often his gameplans are so on point that he needn't adapt anyway.

mayweather has used one style ever since. and has been avoiding more competetive boxers. pac is the proven and tested example of a fighter adjusting to each of his opponents style. the choice is a no brainer.

The guy in the first video doesn't know what the hell hes talking about, not from that video but from his other videos, hes balls. Dwyers predictions are by FAR better. That ring post check left hook make you eat the ring post is dreadful stuff. That first guy and Dwyer are two completely different styles. The first guy is obviously much younger and focuses mostly on Mayweather material, in a comedic manner, whereas Dwyer is much more serious, all-encompassing, and deeply analytical with the gamblers perspective always in mind. I don't see why a comparison between the two would be made in the first place to be honest, there's really no similarity there.

Oh and Mayweather adjusts better, far better within the ring. Pacquiao can adjust but not past a point.

Mayweather for sure. That's his strongest quality, is adaptation. You just wanted to see Mayweather win a poll in NSB for once eh? lol

LOL ... without watching the video and looking at the picture, those are BIASED opinions from both. A black dude and a filipino giving their "thoughts". Having said that, for me Mayweather ... along with Marquez. lol.. well the filipino dude conceded that Mayweather has better adaptive skills but he doesn't think that'll make a huge difference in the fight.

During the fight Floyd definately, his style depends on his ability to adapt to an opponent so his defense and countering can be affective. His long-term adaptation has to become more cautious and pot-shot vs risk the trading and aggression of his earlier years but for the most part he's the same fighter. Before the fight Pac. Each fight he comes in with a new gameplan and new tools. He has not fought the same in his past fights since JMM II. More of the planning comes from roach but Roach has been there for 9 years and its only been within the last 2 that you've seen pac really change his ways and has transformed into a different fighter.

I really don't care, i just wanna see blood flying out of anyone's mouth. I'm sure it's gonna be floyd's blood only i'm gonna see as he only does potshots then run or he could use that elbow of his on Pac's mouth but then he's gonna get disqualified for that.

I'm a pactard.. And i will say Mayweather adjust better..

Is this a question that is really worthy of asking?

Mayweather, but out of all the fighters, Marquez is the best at adapting in a fight You mean "was" right judging by the may fight his adapting has diminished a bit. And I say this because he was losing the fight the entire time big but I saw no adjustments. It was like he practically gave up on his feet.

Entertaining fight fan videos which, among other things, give views on Pacquiao's and Mayweather's ability to adapt their strategies during a fight. Who do you think can adapt best during a fight and why? In his last three fights Pacquiao has not had to adapt to anything. He simply follows a carefully scripted strategy to win. Pacquiao might be able to adapt, but he has not had to do so of late. Lack of improvisation may be an exploitable hole in Manny's aura of invincibility.
