I just read a article and i'm really surprised at what Lampley said.
He was talking about the Maidana fight, and said he thought Floyd won 115-113. He said Maidanas punches troubled Floyd because it's shots he couldn't see coming like a low uppercut and that overhand right. Maidanas recklessness cause him problems. The interviewer asked him about what he thought about the crowd booing in the end when they heard the descion. Lampley said its kinda like the Delahoya fight where alot of time the crowd thinks Floyds getting hit against the ropes when hes actually not.
Now the interviewer asks him if Pac can cause the same issues and he says no.
Hes says Pac has a very conventional approach, and he throws punches from the the same angles like every other great fighter does, he doesn't throw high in the air or low from the floor. Lampley says the way Pac squares his shoulders he'd be a sitting duck for Floyds right hand.
Ooooh My God...
Are these Pac Fans serious?
No seriously I only been coming on here recently and I am seriously at AWWWWE
Stop comparing Maidana and Pac. Maidana will always be a hard fight for Floyd unless he does to Maidana what he did to Castillo in fight II.
Maidana flaws lie within his awkwardness...his punches arent punches you teach.
Pac flaws are in the basics of boxing...YOU NEVER LEAVE YOUR FEET TO THROW PUNCHES.
There are more but why teach you DUMB FVCKS YALL AINT LISTENING ANYWAY
I agree...In my honest opinion, I think Pac fights like he's been taught something...how Maidana fought shouldn't be seriously considered boxing! I think Pac has more pride in how he looks (skill wise)...Maidana came to win but Imo more so to muddy the water.
Shambrolic,
Whats even funnier is that this fight needs to be made not because Floyd will be tested but because its needed to shut a certain fan base the hell up.
Because frankly Floyd has a lot more fighters that are potentially more dangerous than Pac at this point so that needs to be said as well.

Lampley scored it 7-5.
And now Pacquiao is conventional, while Maidana is unconventional...lol
Jim should stick to commentating, leave the analysis to those charged with analysis.
When comparing the 2...Maidana is a lot more wild so I think that's where the unconventional part comes in. Pac isn't tackling, hitting in the nuts or rabbit punching people...the way Maidana fought almost made it seem like he didn't work on much in camp besides making weight. Floyd would approach a Pac fight knowing that it won't be an MMA.
Exactly. Everyone was saying Pacquiao is going to get his revenge because Bradley robbed Pacquiao and almost got knocked out by a slower fighter in Prodvodnikov. Remember how everyone said he doesn't deserve to be on the P4P list when he was at #8?
They switch their stances up so much to make it seem like something it's not. When it was an almost unanimous pick for Pacquiao by majority of people before the match even started. The Mayweather-Maidana fight was much more intriguing and people having varying opinions of what's going to happen in the match. Everyone knew for certain that it was going to be a dirty fight, even people coming up with connections saying that Garcia trained Margarito and Victor Ortiz or associated with them in some way, so the match was expected to slip outside the realm of boxing.
I wish Pacquiao don't sign an extension and become a free agent, manage himself so there will be new faces in the ring with him. 3 people can't be listed as P4P if all they do is fight each other and there are many in the division that have comparable skill and dangerous qualities. Goldenboy have so many styles and personalities.. it's no way those 3 get by every guy in the stable especially Pacquiao.
This is so true. Same 3 people losing and winning against each other. We don't know how good those wins are unless they fight other top contenders.
Look here guy....
Ive boxed and played football my entire life and EVERY TRAINER says the same exact thing.
Pac would have a punchers chance and that is all....Ya boy was hurt by Bodybuilder bradley lol.
I like all boxers just not Pac Fans...Yall just Dumb as Fvck
The same Flaw that caused Marquez to KO Pac is still present. Nasim Richardson had the idea and marquez just exposed it more. Its still there and it aint going anywhere....Pac has way too many flaws man.
and maidana doesnt ? lol right.
RaV3n,
Floyd was exposed ion 2002..YES if exposed means trying to makes sure he has bruises on his arms, thighs, balls, back of head, back and body and to GIVE NO FVCKS ABOUT ACTUALLY TRYING TO WIN!
yawn, get floyd's shaft out of your throat and then come talk to me.
Lol these pac fans are hilarious....Pac is SUPER WAPACMAN agin now huh?
All his flaws have disappeared again huh?
Soooo Floyd would just look past the fact Pac comes off his feet when throwing punches as if he flying lol.
Floyd would look mpast the fact that when you pivot to Pacs right away from his left he misses punches and is always off balance.
Yeah sure Pac will def give Floyd problems....LMAOOOO
If you think that pac would be a walkover for floyd then you are a fool and dont know chit about boxing.

AT the end of the day, you should stick with what you posted, not use the same ranking you spent over a year criticizing only because it can be used to elevate manny after a win.
I said it in another thread that you have me confused for someone else, maybe glovkin-serious business?
I never ran down bradely as a fighter, I have always rated him highly.
fABIE or Whatevever,
Yeah we can still call it a bad flaw because it got him KOed by someone who capitalized on it. Mosely was too damn shook to try it and blamed his toe and marquez took that side step and threw down the pipe...BINGO LIGHTS OUT. So Yeah its a Bad Flaw to have

Maidana was always thought of as a threat by REAL BOXING FANS...Nobody thought of Bradley as a threat to Pacquiao. NOBODY!
Maidana will beat Bradley as well imo. Hopefully DLH can get that card together with capt in house

The same could be said about Castillo in 2002.
This is the beauty of the sports' specters...we can all make educated and rational guesses based on "facts" and what we see but this is why the sport is great because there's a lot of unpredictability factors.
What we can't see are the minutae and impromptu actions and reactions by both fighters. ANY PUNCH is always a possible harbinger of death for the other...any punch. We've seen that with Marquez on the brink of seemingly in Pac's favor and inevitability only to be hit with a well-timed and precise right cross.
While I am not talking about a one punch per se and in its literalness, both fighters also have great capabilities to "follow up" and go for the kill. Well, more so with Pacquiao's style while Mayweather doesn't skimp on his combos either.
Now both in their not-so-ideal status - slower, older and less power behind their fists, their weaknesses are now more magnified. More than ever.
It still has to happen - for closures' sakes. Even in their "old" form and their "last hurrahs", an epic fight can happen or could be a thud.
Sooooo Pac Fans think Pac will be successful with that superman punching style he has?
Pac has the same flaws he has had since he started boxing....he jumps at fighters to land that 1-2 right left....maybe because he is always out of reach but it is a bad flaw to have against a guy with laser precision STRAIGHT RIGHT
This "superman punching style" is a niche style based on PROPER TIMING. From his ubiqitous power that landed many of his opponents it has become his arsenal more so as a liability. And so ANY PUNCH (as I have mentioned earlier) can be a liability to an opponent who can exploit it into a weakness.
And thus for Pacquiao, it isn't a "bad flaw" as you put it. It CAN be if he wasn't disciplined and throwing without any sense of timing at all. When he was a lot younger, his 1-2 punch was that, predictable as to what he would do but unpredictable as to when he would turn it on.
Thus in his record of 56 wins, can we still call that as a "bad flaw"?
