Against Hatton Mayweather almost went down to a hatton left hand (was a jab) too bad Hatton isn't much of a jabber.
Against De La Hoya - Mayweather's bane was Oscars left jab. Good lord during round 7 I thought Oscar had the fight won because Oscar seemed to have found a way to get to Mayweather... Too bad Oscar stopped Jabbing.
Baldomir and Gatti didn't have the skills to beat Mayweather...they were both mismatches.
Against Judah...
Zab won the first 4 rounds due to his left hand and right hook. If you watch the highlight above, you'll see that Zab had the upper hand against mayweather whenever he threw the left hand. After 4 rounds Zab stopped throwing his punches and stood there like a punching bag.
Anyone here see the pattern?
Mayweather has always had trouble with his opponents left hands (assuming they are fast). Whenever his opponents would use the left hand effectively, and seem to be pulling ahead in the fight they gassed out and stopped using it.
In Pac's last fights, he showed just how potent his left hand was. Sure Oscar was slow when dealing with it but thats not the point. The point is that Manny has a tremendously good left hand. Whats more is that Manny just doesn't gas out. Manny has shown us that his left hand still has tremendous power at 140 against Hatton. But of course will he carry it to 147? Probably not, but the accumulation of punches can do the trick.
Manny actually steps on the accelerator in the late rounds even when hurt (Marquez - Pacquiao 2...round 9)
I pick Manny to win simply because of how great his left hand is along with the fact that manny has a great right hook which will allow him to catch mayweather coming in (Like in Judah - Mayweather).
Whats more, Manny is a southpaw magnifying the effects of him being able to land with the left hand.
Now I know that Mayweather has a great right hand too, and that Manny's southpaw style will also magnify Mayweather's right hand, but when was the last time manny really had a hard time with his opponents right hand?
So I think Manny won't win by KO but by decision due to many left hands to the body in the center of the ring, a couple of good right hooks that catch Floyd, and relentless pressure applied while Floyd is against the ropes.
The only way Floyd wins is by pot shotting Pac in the center of the ring. But I doubt that that is going to happen much because manny has speed (unlike Gatti and Baldomir and Marquez but much like Judah) He has head movement (Unlike Hatton and Marquez so no more easy jabs, check left hooks and easy right hands for Floyd) And Manny also throws while coming in (Unlike Oscar...Oscar pushed Floyd back only when he trew when coming in).
Don't give me any of that crap about Mayweather catching Manny coming in like he did against Marquez and Hatton. You know how many times Mayweather caught Marquez coming in throughout the fight? About 8 or 9. And Floyd never really hurt Marquez while Marquez was coming in, even if he was punching a LIGHTWEIGHT.
Floyd didn't win because he was catching Marquez coming in. He won because he threw jabs and straights in the center of the ring against a guy with a little head movement and who got hit by the jabs of his mediocre sparring partners often.
Besides Manny isn't nearly as open as Hatton when he's coming in.
And oh I forgot. Manny won't gas out.
Manny is everything Floyds past opponents were'nt. He is almost all of Floyd's problems rolled into one fighter.. He has the potential to combine all of Floyd's past opponents advantages against Floyd and beat him.
-Great left hand + Southpaw Stance = troubled Mayweather
-Great head movement + throwing while coming in = Retreating mayweather
-Great Pressure against the ropes and being small = Defensive Mayweather
-Great Stamina = Winning pattern to continue throught the fight for Manny.
Thats basically it. What do you guys think?
Edit: Karma would be greatly appreciated
One more thing.
@: Everyone who says Manny was "beaten" by Marquez and Floyd dominated him. Floyd wins easy. I say
You're comparing a fight between a guy who naturally weighs 140 and "lost" to the second best fighter in the world in a fight at 130lbs . As compared to a guy who dominated the best Lightweight in the world at Welterweight. Do you see why your comparison sucks?
