Will Manny Pacquiao fight some of this fight in orthodox??

I'm really getting excited for this fight,.. I've been watching lots of training footage of both camps. I watch the training videos every damn day. Mayweather's all look the same,..except for maybe some more bodypunching on that big man with the Body Protector and on the heavy bag. Outside of that Floyd looks typical. Manny appears to be doing way more running,..especially lots and lots and lots of hill running. The other thing a bit different about Manny was the abundance of shadowboxing. Shadowboxing is for speed. Especially the way Manny does it. Then I saw the video of Manny and Freddy doing a lengthy session on the mitts in orthodox. Manny looked good. Just saying. But looking good on the mitts is one thing,....doing it on Floyd or being successful against Floyd is quite a jump. If Freddy was going to try this out,...then Algieri, or maybe Bradley would have been a better proving ground.

I hear you guys. It could be really stupid. It really depends how will he does it(if he even tries to). I'm just saying it could be a surprise problem for Floyd. I realize Pac is a southpaw. I realize that is his big challenge for Floyd(maybe). But just having that extra sophistication for Floyd to make it harder to be figured out. I agree with the other replies that even if he did try it...It should be done very rarely and very sparingly. Maybe only if things arent' working as planned in southpaw. I think if things aren't working well for Manny in southpaw,...then it will probably just be the beginning of the end of any hopes of winning.

Pac probably has more or at least equal power in his right.

I remember back in 09/10 when the fight was first being discussed, Roach wanted Manny to practice fighting orthodox so they would have something to throw Floyd off rythmn during the fight. Thought it was a terrible idea then. Think it's a terrible idea today.

If Manny attempted to fight orthodox,..I don't think it would happen until mid fight. If he does really well in the first 4-5 rounds. And there is a sense that he is ahead or has a good shot to pull off a win,..........then switching to orthodox in response to Mayweather beginning to figure him out and time him. This could concievably throw off Mayweather and make him start the figuring out process all over again. Manny has the handspeed to pull this off,....He has to exhibit an edge in handspeed in the beginning of the fight though. If that doesn't happen then fighting his usual southpaw stance should not be deviated from. I have a feeling Roach is going to have Manny do something a bit unusual in this fight,....and I'm not sure what it is. It could be something as simple as just going speed, high punch output,..and win the rounds one at a time. Only go for a KO very sparingly. Or he's going to do something which might be risky. We are all going to know something in the first 2 rounds of this fight. The main thing we will know is how Pacs speed stacks up. We won't know a lot about Mayweather until rds 4,5 and 6. Because assuming that Pac DOES stack up with speed and effectiveness,...this is when we would need to see Mayweather start to become a counterpunching pain in the ass for Manny.

Being southpaw is Mannys advantage, unless he does it like for a minute and switches back to confuse floyd, but doing it for a couple rounds is not smart imo.

that would be as smart as Berto doing the shoulder roll I wish he would do it more often..lol

But he does write and throw with his right hand....just a random post

That would be down right stupid

what the ****?

No chance at all
