totally agree with lil guys rule,,i mean he beat the worst lightweight,then fights a shot de la hoya,i mean this guy oscar fights once a year,looked terrible against forbes,he isn't even a champion,and all of a sudden manny is awesome for beating a fighter like this? i think manny is carefully picking his opponents,,hatton got exposed by mayweather,i think he will only fight guys who leave him the most money but arent risky,like hatton.
****ing idiot. no respectable boxing expert picked pac to win, much less by ko. by the way, the dlh that fought floyd is not much different from the dlh that pac beat down.

lol sure buddy
154 DLH is different from a 145 DLH who didnt even throw a meaningful punch the whole fight
Zab and Corley had Mayweather in a little trouble with the angles from which their shots were coming from. The reason they fell out of the fight is because they have 4-6 round gas tanks.
Corley had Mayweather hurt in, well I forget the round, but by the end of the round he had completely shot his load. Mayweather closed out that round stronger because Corley is not a good finisher (as evidenced in the Cotto fight as well). Pacquiao is a damn good finisher.
Would you agree that Pacquiao is an overall better fighter than Corley or
All I'm saying is that for some reason, southpaws give Mayweather problems. More so than any other style of fighter. It's a pattern, wouldn't you say?
I know all about "methodical" and the reason he is allowed to be methodical is because people fight at his pace. Problem is, Pacquiao doesn't fight at his opponent's pace, he forces a faster pace than what his opponent is comfortable at.
The straight punches of both guys is their best punches, but to say that Pacquiao would just jump in on Mayweather is not entirely accurate. Hatton jumps in without a jab, Pacquiao doesn't. Pacquiao uses a very educated southpaw jab. Reach does not = better jab necessarily, it's about timing and rhythm. Whoever establishes their rhythm first would have control of the fight.
As I said earlier, being in shape and being active are two very different things. A large part of Mayweather's income is making appearances at night clubs. All I'm saying is doing it in the gym is not a substitute for doing it in the ring.
this is agree with with somewhat about the staying in shape but i'm sure floyd boxes in some fashion all the time, it's in his blood, trust me. he has looked a little out of it in the past like with his fight with agustus asfter an extended layoff, but the thing about floyd is that, he intelligence in the ring, is a testament of his true wit. he's the type of fighter that can be off for a long time and still develop a pattern to beat his opponents in dominant fashion. this allows me to make an argument about what i posted earlier, staying in shape is veyr important when talking about floyd because, all he has to do is stay in shape. the rest of his talent is so polished at this point, it comes 2nd nature to him.
pacman lunged in at oscar a lot in their fights, he may change his style against floyd when he sees he's getting countered by left hooks, which floyd really doesn't get credit for, especially left hooks to the body. as far as floyd making appearances at night clubs, you're right, he does, but floyd has been known for coming out of clubs or restaurants, etc, and started running 4 to 5 miles after eating. floyd is a gym rat, he's stays active, not neccesarily in the gym, but all around, that's why when his camp starts up, all he has to do is touch up a few rough spots and work on the parts of his body that is really crucial to work on.
corley stumbled floyd in round 4, just like zab did, and the reason they didn't finish strong is because of their inability to finish people off, but that mostly has to do with how intelligent floyd is in the ring, in good or bad situations. he knows how to stay poised in situations that seem a little rocky, that's intelligence more than cxonditioning, it all starts in the mind which is the attriubute floyd lives off of when describing why he wins, because he is smarter, which he was against zab and corley. floyd went to the body against zab, changed his changed, his angling, and his pace. against chop chop, he walked him down much like he did with zab, and he still had great defense in round 4 after he was staggered some. he dipped and dodged punches corley threw off of the ropes and landed a counter looping but crisp right hand that made corley take a knee that was ruled a slip. floyd knows how to fight southpaws, who give him trouble, yes, but watch how he stayed on zab and even more, corley. in round 8, he landed a combination that he's never ever threw, he's that versatile. he landed a slapping right hook, slapping right uppercut followed by a slapping left hook, that's how great his mindset is. he also landed a right hook to his stomach in round 1 in a different way other than a straight right, it was a looping right hook, and he was effective, and he landed it a lot in the fight, something floyd put into his offense , just go watch the fight again. floyd was more aggressive and made the adjustments needed, and won every round. pacman is better than corley, and has better stamina than judah, but he is not as gifted as judah, but what he does have, and it's a lot is very good. you have to be the perfect fighter to beat floyd and pacman isn't. he may not always lunge in to land his left hand, but he eat left hooks, from a guy who established an effective potshot arsenal. imagine floyd landing combos going backwards or forwards like with judah and corley, or off of the rope counters, he can do it all.
It'll play out in either one of two possible ways....
He will either stand center ring with Pacquiao, and slaughter him at close range ala' Gatti.
Or, he will fight him on the inside like he did Hatton, starching him in a late TKO when Freddie Roach tearfully comes to Pac's rescue by throwing in the towel.
