How does Floyd deal with Pacman's speed & workrate?

[ELPacman]

By doing exactly what he did to everybody else.

Period. The truth right here.

i just dont see it

Pacquiao workrate isn't as good against counter punchers because he is more careful as he knows he can get countered.

He threw something like 600 punches for the Marquez fight, and floyd is a bigger, better, stronger version. Floyd workrate is around 450-500 punches, but that fight will depend on who lands the most, if Pacquiao throws more he will give more opportunities to Floyd. Kind of like Calzaghe workrate slowed down against Hopkins

Paqs work rate is over rated. he will fatigue late and then POW! Good Nite! Missing fatigues fighters, resetting also! pbf rests when he is on defense = 65% of the 1st 6rds if he is finding his opponent with those singles. Then later on the singles turn into doubles, then triples, then before the fight, PBF has hit for the cycle!

But thats only for those he can hurt. Bigger men i.e. baldie got touched with doubles and singles before the hand injury. dlh was being played for a rematch that failed to transpire due to pbf underestimating his greed and shrewdness.

pacq is no match for pbf. if he can hurt you then your done. the bigger fighters are the real threat to pbf. Too damn bad they are so mediocre and fail to match their risk with their reward.

meaning he will not go against his own weight division with a high percentage chance of a lost. *duckweather*

yet manny is boasted to against bigger guys that have a higher percentage chance of a lost. *hypocrits*

yea but hopkins wasnt really able to get his own stuff going either because of the slapping flurries calzaghe was doing

[Benny Leonard]

He needs to fight behind the jab again and mix it up. Without the jab, he is less effective. He still wins, but Roy still won as well without the jab for a long time. Bring Back the JAB and start throwing combos to every place that is legal. Break down that body.

Can Floyd still throw a high volume of punches like he used to years ago; not sure; we'll see. He has to make every punch count to deter Manny from wanting to come in, like JMM did. Counter in combinations and not just one punch. Make Manny think and make him cautious to come in.


It's all about if Floyd can still do it and is his stamina still the same or near his best.

Answers are still pending.

Hopkins is an Old Man. Go watch some fights of Pre-Tito Hopkins.

i just dont see it

defense and counterpunching

[djsygo]

he will keep him at bay with his jab to the stomach...using distance, countering with timing and accuracy. He will make him think.
Dont forget Hatton always does the same thing and Pac was always knowing what to expect in the fight. Floyd knows how to make opponents think. Plus his reach will play a big part as well.

[billionaire]

marquez in the 2nd fight was able to cut off manpacs workrate....at times pac looked downright confused....

[andrew14]

he will be sliding( some means run)..

he will not bet on taking front offence or coming forward from pacman.

pac weakness is counter punchers..

if pac have another idea facing counter punchers thats bad for pbf.

pbf should run.
