Describe what Manny could do to counter or avoid these Mayweather tactics:
1. The shoulder roll
2. The arms up defense against the ropes
3. Pull down Manny's head with his elbow and arm
4. Left check hook
5. Lead right hand, duck under
6. Elbows into Manny's face
Honestly don't know.
did you happen to notice in your clip that Ortiz tried to throw two punches at Mayweather after his deliberate headbutt? Are those the actions of a man who made a mistake and is sorry about his actions? It was only after the ref stopped him with the intent of punishing Ortiz that Ortiz decided to do the "gentlemanly" thing and apologize. As Pauli Malignaggi stated, you don't start a street fight with someone and then try to be their best friend.
Manny is not Ortiz.
You are absolutely right. Pac is not as big, as strong or as fast as Ortiz. At least that is what all the haters on this site and most boxing writers said before Floyd taxed Ortiz' ass and knocked him out.

1. Absolutely nothing. Pac will just keep flailing away with his useless punches until Mayweather knocks him out. If he can get away with it, he will use illegal drugs.
2. Absolutely nothing. This is perfectly legal. He can keep throwing punches, but they will be useless.
3. Floyd doesn't do this. Besides, Pac's head is too damn big for Mayweather to pull it down.
4. Keep absorbing them until he falls down, just like Hatton.
5. Absolutely nothing. He will try to counter, but he won't be successful.
6. Absolutely nothing because Floyd has never thrown an elbow to anyone's face. Simply because you retards/pactards want to jump on a lie that Ortiz's trainer told and declare it to be the truth doesn't mean that is actually is the truth.
The beating that Pac will receive when Pac is desperate enough for money to give up the PEDS and take the drug tests will be worse than the beating that Ortiz was getting before he tried to bail out of the fight by headbutting Mayweather.

Off subject (sorry)
Nonitard you should change your name to "Flash-Tard" I think that's what they're going to be called when Pac retires! (serious)
Manny is unlike any other guy out there, this fight has to happen. No one is sure of the the result including the fighters imo. You have to favour floyd 60-40, based on his skills, size, defense, but honestly manny has the equaliser and can turn the fight on it's head at any time. Also his tremendous workrate will cause mayweather a lot of problems.
The roll is not effective against southpaws. If he tries it he will eat a straight left.
He used it against Ortiz at times for close up action if I'm not mistaken.
1. Won't work great against Manny. Floyd usually changes up his defense against fast southpaws because the shoulder roll isn't as effective.
2. Working the body. Pacquiao has to make sure he remembers this. He has shown an ability to mix it up to the head and body, and should make this a focus.
3. Same as the second point. Never seen Pac do this though, so he better learn now.
4. I actually think Pacquiao's right hook and straight left are plenty good enough to take advantage of the times Mayweather throws the left hook.
5. Biggest problem for Manny. He's a sucker for right hands. This is Roach's job to make sure Pac is prepared for this above all else.
6. Pacquiao doesn't like to get close, doubt this would be a huge issue in this fight.
good post, Roach is definitely going to emphasize a lot of this
the fight has to be one in the center of the ring, and Pac cannot expect to penetrate when Floyd's on the ropes though where he's virtually unhittable

1. straight left down the pipe.
2. Ease up then resume attack when floyd comes forward
3.guard up and any ref besides cortez
4. Guard up, up jab
5. Head movement, close distance so floyd cant get full extension, feints. (pac is notorious for doing the same with the left but marquez countered him to pieces)
