Pac has looked fast in his last 4 fights vs slow left handed fighters. Just last year in 2008 he fought Marquez and was out landed and outboxed...and this was the new and improved Pac.
Is it a coincidence Team Pac hasnt fought any right hand dominant boxers since? I dont think Pac is faster that Mayweather, Pac swarms with punches and he lunges & stretches for punches. I think Mayweather would eat Pac man up with Counters and lead right hands. Mayweather will put in a nice body attack on Pac too, Mayweather is taller, has a longer reach and has a defense that is going to frustrate him. I dont think Pac is fast enough to counter Mayweather coming in with the straight right. Mayweather can easily outbox him from the outside, and then what is Pac gonna do? Bob and weave & Jab on his toes?....UM NO!....
Mayweather is much smarter than Pac......Pac's style is very effective against stationary brawlers or slugger because he can out maneuver them and out speed them. But vs techinical boxer's his style is all wrong and once he realizes that Mayweather doesnt care to engage him and is easily scoring from a distance, he will get frustrated and desperate and Mayweather will pick him apart.
Very good analysis. I also feel that way as well. The only thing I would beg to differ is the fact that Pacquiao has enough power and speed to catch Mayweather off guard, along with an awkwardcy that can cause problems for Mayweather's counters. Besides that this pretty much sums up how this match can turn out to be IMO. Hopefully it doesn't though, I'd love to see Pacquiao surprise me again.
