Floyd Mayweather Jr is Manny Pacquio's nightmare.

[Luis12]

Cotto marg and ssm are floyds nightmare

dude, mayweather already beat those guys....in his dreams

Hey, I am no fan of Floyds attitude, you can catch me on any given day talkin **** on his arrogance... but in the ring, his skills cannot be overlooked, and they cannot be denied.

If you are a real boxing fan, you must appreciate his skillset in the ring.. regardless of his attitude outside of it.

that's right BUT....when we're gonna appreciate all his skills against top fighters? last time was when? against corrales...

ok.......



Zab is bigger and more of a boxer than Pac. I would almost go as far as to say he's faster too.

his hands are faster, but not his lateral, and in and out movements... I don't think Pac wants to box floyd anyway... you would never want to try and stand there outboxing floyd, I like pacs agressiveness over zabs boxing all day...

Lets try and look to the future, I think we will be seeing Floyd against the top fighters now.. I really do.

You talking about his "binoccular" defense? Or so I like to call it. What he did against Zab, I agree... But pacs speed cannot be over-looked.. it really just can't.

Floyd really hasn't fought anyone with Pacs speed besides Zab, and Zab did extremely well for the first 5 rounds, which is really a Zab cliche` at this point.

I'd like to think Pac could do it for the entire 12.

Doubt it. Mayweather acknowledged it himself that he waited for the first rounds to pass. He knew Zab would run out of steam and they were hoping that they could get a knockdown in the later rounds. Pac can do it for the whole 12 I got to agree, hell maybe even 15 rounds, but unlike Judah he's wide open sometimes to counters, Mayweather's perfect at that. A fighter can get frustrated if he gets getting tagged by counters.

what exactly is floyd?

A cherry picker with no charisma, low knowledge, not pretty at all like everyone calling him pretty boy floyd, self-proclaim best fighter alive not knowing he isn't even the best fighter in this era of course we all know it's pacquiao, opportunistic muder****er and got no class at all.

[Xplosivo]

pacquiao and judah are different fighters except for speed and stance. completely different boxing wise

and lets not forget floyd won the last 8 rounds of that fight

I think Zab's defense is null and void. So comparing Pacs defense to Zabs, isn't really necessary.

And whether Floyd decided to wait for 5 rounds or not... Ill tell you what he didn't decide to do... he didn't decide to get punched in the face... and he did. That's all Im saying.

Really good post I am going to paint a different picture for you....IF Floyd gets past JMM I say IF because as we have all learned in boxing their are no defintes. I mean look at Tyson Douglas right? Then IF the fight gets made IF again here is another take on the happenings. I think Roach and Co know the story with Floyd Roach had the opportunity to train Oscar against Floyd and he knows thaty Floyd is going to try to use the first few rounds to get timing down and start to counter punch. he is also not ****** in the fact he knows that Floyd is a strong WW and that he is going to be able to muscle Manny on the insde. He is going to tell Manny to jump on Floyd early and use his straight left hand. I see almost any orthrodox fighter having trouble with what? Come on fellas what is the biggest punch and most trouble Ok I will tell you the straight left hand. Right? What is manny's best punch? Come on fellas this one aint hard either right? the straight left hand. Floyd is going to get hit with these and as we have seen when you are watching out for the straight left hand Manny is not to shy about throwing a good hard right hook no no no he throws that with pretty bad intentions. His in and out movement and side to side bouncing around like a little jakc rabbit. Floyd is quick and ha the foot work and skills but Manny is not far behind him in footwork. Manny has a kiler instinct and proves to be a great finisher. I do not think this is an east fight for Floyd no matter what anyone say. Manny could prove to be Floyd night mare as well. he will atack and pressure. But we have seen ti before the pressure fighter becomes the stalked and that would be the one possibility everyone does not see coming Floyd hits Manny with something big and Manny starts backing up. But honestly I do not see manny backing up moving around stepping to the side and throwing but not going straight backwards.

I see you valid post and I see what Reed wrote and see it somewhere in the middle. I do defiintely see Manny imposing his will early on and going for the kill. If it get to the later rounds we will see somethings we have seen from both fighters I can smell it cooking up already....Lefty

The only thing I may sway my opinion slightly is the idea of Roach's gameplan, Roach is very good at finding *****s in a fighter's style. But good luck trying to find an exploitable flaw with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Were actually having a good boxing debate in here, so if you could kindly step aside, and let grown folks talk.... that would be.... glorious.
