Mayweather SR. ''He punches like an amateur.''

[Pacmanjay]

During 24/7 Floyd made alot of comments about Pac's style.. Basically, he says that pac fights like an amatuer...

Thoughts?

There's a reason Pac is exciting and his son is not. If Pac fought like Mayweather Jr. he would not be exciting at all but technically sound. But its not like Pac hasn't improved and also not like he loses fights all the time because of his style.

Floyd had to be just talking ****, he said something like "you gonna hit amateurs with that, but you ain't gonna hit no pro". That's when I knew it was all bull****.

[Pacmanjay]

He is just talking trash, hopefully Manny and Roach make both Senior and Hatton each their words.

I hope for the sake of boxing that Pac dispatches PBF after Hatton and shuts up the ****y annoying obnoxious Mayweather's for good, if that's possible.

Either he's just talking ****, or he's really that ignorant and doesn't really watch Pac's fights in which he clearly shows improvement in all aspects of his game.

Emmanuel Stewart who is 10 times the trainer Floyd Sr. will ever be has constantly praised Pac's improvement in the fights he has commentated.

Not possible.

which part? beating PBF or shutting up the Mayweathers or both?

[Pacmanjay]

btw if all boxers fought as defensively as Floyd there would be a WHOLE LOT more undefeated fighters and P4P contenders at the price of boxing matches being very boring.

You cant shut the Mayweathers up, Roger is still talking about how he could beat Chavez after losing twice.

The reason why Pacquiao seems to be lunging is because he is trying to win by KO. That's what happens when any fighter tries to fight like Pac.

With your logic you would say Tyson in his prime punched like an amateur because he too lunged (quite a lot) when he was going for the kill.

It's impossible to fight technical for Pac's style because his strong points come out when he fights like he does, although he has changed some what in the last two fights.

You're not going to see anyone fighting like Mayweather be exciting. If Pac fought as safely as Mayweather then he would look technically sound also.

In Pacquiao's case it's not because he's tryin to knock people out...it's because he's unorthodoxed. Roy jones jr fought in a very similar way as Pacquiao. If you compared film of Pacquiao and rjj then by mayweather's logic rjj punches like an amateur too...but the man won a freakin olympic gold medal.

One thing I found interesting on 24/7 was when Roach adn Moorer were watching Hatton vids and saying "He just reverts back to hitting and holding all the time". The fight they were watching? Hatton v Collazo!

Yes Freddy, in Hatton's worst ever performance he was terrible.

I must admit: after Hatton and Senior said that manny does the same duck-n-under move after every combo, i rewinded.

Yep... after every combo, manny would escape to the right.

Now, this may be a function of editing... or just a sparring tic. I'm sure - CERTAIN - that Manny has the athleticism to improvise escapes. But, still. The observation was a good one.
