"I do think, and a lot of people will think I'm crazy for it, but I think Mayweather will go out there and have a good time, maybe not an easy time, but he will go out there and put on a spectacular performance against Pacman and shut him down. I know Pacquiao throws these crazy punches, but with Mayweather's height, defense and his foot positioning, he's always in position and when you're in position, with the skills that he has, you will always beat your opponents to the punch," commented world-class MMA/boxing trainer Trevor Wittman as he shared his thoughts on a potential clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. With rumors running rampant that the fight is close to being finalized, Wittman took time out of his busy schedule to talk about the fight that everyone is waiting for.
"He is so good at shutting people down and even though Manny Pacquiao is fast and throws combinations, he will shut down his combination punching, pick him apart with a jab and slowly wear him out. I don't think he will stop him, but I think he will win a decision," he stated as he explained why he thinks Mayweather will be victorious should the two fighters actually step into the ring. Although Wittman admits that he's always believed that Mayweather is the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, it was the undefeated fighter's performance against Shane Mosley that convinced him that Floyd will defeat the Filipino superstar.
"You asked me about a year ago who was the best fighter in the world and I want to get back to that. Mayweather is the best pound-for-pound fighter. I said it for a long time. It's funny because I never bet against him, but I wanted to see someone go out and challenge him and I thought Mosley had the speed to do it," he added. "I wasn't going to bet against him because he's known for going out there and putting on spectacular performances. One thing that I thought he did great in that fight was he got rocked, but his composure to be able to walk Shane Mosley down while he was rocked showed me greatness."
Ironically, it was that one moment of weakness against Shane Mosley that answered any remaining questions about Mayweather. "It's what I've been waiting for from him. I've seen him get rocked a few times, but then he would go defensive and that's what he does well. That's what he's best at. Mayweather will shut down Pacman. He shuts down all fighters. He's so good at shutting down what you're good at," Wittman added. "What I like about what he did was he got rocked and he pressured Shane like, 'No, that didn't make me scared of you. I'm going to keep pressuring you and backing you up.' That right there showed me greatness. I've been waiting for that."
Floyd always thanks God after his fights, he isn't an Atheist.
Then he has to live by it, even the way he talks about others disproves this. Knowledge is different from understanding.
He has to understand why he thanks the Lord and what He stands for, humility at least, and raise the Source of his skill, not himself.
So is this a "Manny's God is better than Floyd's God" thing?
Floyd has no God, he is an atheist based on his words and behavior. He only does charity work so others will worship him.
If Manny loses, then God wanted him to lose?...
Manny said this so himself, watch Pac-Hatton 24/7 episode 2 or 3.
LEVITICUS 19:28 "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."
Everything you just stated was full of shit, literally.
I warned you son, dont come this way talking about religion, when that word is not even in the bible.
TATTOOS ARE A HEATHEN CUSTOM, AND HEATHENS WEAR THEM. I dont give a damn if its praying hands, or a picture of CESARE BORGIAS DISGUISED AS CHRIST, KICK ROCKS.
No matter how you twist it, you will still prove me right in that the HEBREWS OF THE BIBLE CANNOT get tattoos as its a sin, and the heathens did this all the time, research the TAMAHU PEOPLE.
Therefore you are not circumcised because you are not heathen? Shame on you.
You are saved by faith, not by good works, you live on the old testament, the old contract. What you follow is not even in the 10 comm, which was written so that all will realize that no one can ever get up there by following it.
It was written so that arrogant people like you would be humbled.
God is Pacquiao`s Mentor, superior in everything.
Mayweathers never had to contend with God before, especially His pupil.
So is this a "Manny's God is better than Floyd's God" thing?
If Manny loses, then God wanted him to lose?
Help me out here.
It's possible.
Floyd is a HOFer. He could duck, roll, and counter Pac all night. He could blank Pacquiao 12-0.
But Pac is a HOFer too. He could buckle Mayweather and KO him in 4 rounds.
Anything can happen. And all the mother****ers who say for sure what's going to happen are talking shit. If they were really sure-- they'd bet their life savings on it. Of course, nobody is going to do that cuz nobody really knows.
the reason im not betting my life savings on it is not because i dont know whats going to happen... but i am scared the corrupt judges may rob the rightful winner (mayweather by way of easy decision) and give pacquaio the nod so that it could set up another 200$ million dollar rematch ....
thats the only reason im not betting on this fight
Roach may show Manny the following:
Duck = Uppercut then follow up with another punch as Floyd comes up
Roll = Throw the Left ..... Roll is not as effective against Southpaws
Counter = Step in, combinations ONLY, step out
Floyd counters better when the opponent throws 1-2 shots at a time. If Manny throws only combinations then Floyd instinctively goes into defense mode for risk of getting hit with anything back (while countering).
I agree somewhat, but I think manny comes in wide leaving himself open for straight rights; and he leave an opening for uppercuts if Floyd can get him the ropes; but Floyd will not have to get him to the ropes...Manny likes to go to the ropes to pull his opponent in, so there are things that both fights can do to get the win, I just think Floyd will have the better game plan and his reach will help him execute it.
it is his opinion, and floyd can really win against pac.
but i think this fight would not make floyd to have spectacular performance. floyd will try to win this fight only by outpointing pac, as much as possible he will never commit mistakes, thus he will engage to exchange with pac. if floyd wins, it is tru potshots and expect alot of boos. lol
but that is, if he wins. i still believe pac will KO floyd. ironically, floyd's foot positioning will be the key to pac's victory (sorry to say this but MMA trainer expose himself when he appreciate floyds footwork, because shane caught floyd because of his foot positioning giving shane the distance to connect his right) . floyd has slowed down with his foot, if we are to base his performance against mosley.
WRONG! SSM had the reach to hit Floyd, it was not his foot work. If you put Pac at that same distance he wont hit Floyd because his arms are too short. Look at the match up then look and how Flody kept sticking SSM with the jab...SSM could get past the jab a lil because he has reach; Pac does have have reach to to make Floyd's foot work; work against him. :boxing:
:tool:
Nope, they'd rather see him give a little blood and fight like SSM did...:stooges:
Someone please tell me why Pacfans make all the excuses in the world for him not to take a drug test, yet say Flody is holding up the fight. Then they love to leave out that Pac now wants to except a offer that was on the table in Feb, that Flody said was off the table afte Pac didnt except it back then...
SSM is a PROVEN PED user.. That's why he took the test. No excuses here, just want the fight done. I could care less if manny takes teh test done.. If manny accepts 20% to floyds 80%. Unlike some of you guys, I just want the fight done, I could give a **** about the negotiations or what PURSE my fav fighter is getting..:drive:
They'd rather pacquiao beat on women, do a bid in jail for selling/using drugs, flaunt money around, be egotistical, arrogant... LOL! :drive:
:tool:

Whats good Homey I aint in here to Argue tonight, but look what you said...LOL we good brah.... Thanks for respecting the game and taking down TIP Pictures as the avatar & sig you cool with me
But I aint gonna argue about nothing until the fight is signed LOL
:rofl: Avatar has always been the flag that I rep homie. Prolly put some laker shit on (Kobe, LO, Ron Ron, Pau). :drive:
Everyone shuts down Pacquiao they all said. And look what happened...
who was going to shut pacquiao down? :thinking:
cotto if victorious was gonna overpower and bully him, hatton, DLH, diaz too etc.
the last fighter pac fought whos chance of winning was outboxing pacquiao and shutting him down is JMM, and he arguably beat pac twice. floyd is taller, has fatser hands, faster feet, more skills, more ring IQ then marquez. in short hes a better boxer.
i think u need to watch some more boxing til u know the meaning of shutting someone down
Thanks for posting this MMA trainers opinion. Can you post some pro Golfers opinions on this fight maybe some hockey and Curling guys too??
hes not simply a mma trainer, hes a boxing trainer who went over to work in mma. like junito ibarra. i think he even still trains boxers but im not sure.
Trevor wittman may be right. Anything can happen in a one off fight. PBF is very good, or great. Pac is great as well.
Anything can happen. Pac might shut PBF down. PBF might do better in the rematch. Who knows. Lets get it on, and see if our predictions come true.

Floyd is a HOFer. He could duck, roll, and counter Pac all night. He could blank Pacquiao 12-0.

Thanks for that Aristotle, but it's called "speculation".
Don't know if you've heard of it.
Gonna be funny when it turns out it isn't such an easy fight
it wont be easy but the thing is floyd can fight the way he has been fighting and win. Manny needs to have the fight of his life to win and he cant land 20% like in the last fight vs clottey
Thanks for posting this MMA trainers opinion. Can you post some pro Golfers opinions on this fight maybe some hockey and Curling guys too??
What he said is exactly what's going to happen...Anyone who knows anything about boxing can agree with that...nuthuggers, need to walk

Alot of ppl said the same thing when Pac faught delahoya.... btw this guy also thought Mosley had a chance based on "speed" alone so..... his predictions sound pretty shit to me :tool:
