CompuBox Post Fight Analysis: Bring on Floyd Mayweather Jr

[SceneSpectator!]

Mayweather said Pacquiao was going to beat Cotto. I know I pick fighters
and switch sometimes because I'm not sure but I'm riding with Money May.
I actually think Pac will bring out the best in Floyd Maywether Jr and we
will see an epic fight between the two.

Thing with me is that each time I wanted to pick Pac in his last
3 fights I just changed my mind because I can see his flaws sorta
the way I was never completely sold on Miguel Cotto. Pacquiao is
indeed a very good fighter but I just see his weakness and fighters
he fought didn't have the skill set to expose it. I truly feel Floyd will
do it but won't sleep on Pac but Floyd has been following Pac and a fan
of his for awhile. Remember seeing him at a Pac fight cheering him on.
People saying Manny will beat Floyd bad better be sure or will definitely
hate Floyd more after the fight with Pacquiao.

The only remaining weapon of Floyd against Pac is his speed, nothing more. Pac will not be deterred with Floyd's power and Pac would walk through to Floyd no matter how fast he would run! Floyd had been in battle agaisnt good opponents but was never faced Pac.. what I mean is, Pac with almost complete arsenal.. footworks, speed, lateral movements, slick, improved defense, power to both hands and strong ribcage and chin! I couldn't just imagine what Floyd could offer against Pac. IMHO, Pac would end Floyd protected "0" loss record just in case Floyd man enough to face PAc!

Every single thing JMM did good at PAC that won more number rounds for him tham PAC, PBF will do even 10 times better...

That's what PBF has to offer...PAC simpy is the best going forward and attacking...PBF is the best counterpuncher and deffensive skilled fighter who can also attack which he hasn't done since the Gatti fight...

BEST OFFENSE AGAINST BEST DEFFENSE. Plain and simple...and you might be surprised if PBF goes offensive to back PAC after testing his power as in the Corrales fight...

What does PBF has to offer??...the best at what gives the most trouble to PAC

Great fight by Pac, but please please please fellas - regardless of how much you may hate Floyd, dont underestimate him. Pac did a great job against Cotto, but styles make fights, and to date, no one has figured out Floyd's style and Pac's looping punches may be his downfall against the masterful Floyd.

REPLY to FIGHTTALENT comment: "...to date, no one has figure out the Floyd Mayweather style.." . Eh-hem! A younger Jose Luis Castillo gave Pretty Boy all he could handle and it is well documented that most boxing writers and afficianados believe Pretty Boy lost the fight, but won on the "Charity" score cards. I give him credit for the rematch in which he still had problems with Castillo, but was able to make the adjustments and win a decision cleanly ( I would say by about 3-4 points as he pulled away in the last 6 rounds). The fact is that Pac can fight that smothering fight style that Castillo used so successfully against PrettyBoy in their first fight. The second point is that Pac can also punch faster, and from various unconventional angles (not one dimmensional at all). This makes it intruiging for fight fans because Manny is willing to risk getting hit to engage his style of fight and this is PrettyBoys only hope - to time and catch Pac when he leaves himself open (which he does alot when he is attacking). But really people, everyone pays to see Pac defy the odds and see if he can win (and dramatically) against the bigger opponents . People only pay to see Mayweather if another name fighter, who is smaller, usually slower (not Pretty fault), can actually beat up on Mayweather. In essence, people will only watch PrettyBoy because they want to see him LOSE. He is in the "Roy Jones" era of his career, where he does not take the real challenges and just coasts with the safe opponents that our out there and that has frustrated many fight fans who know he should have fought Mosely, Margarito, Williams, and others several years ago - and did not! Legends are made the way Pac has been doing it. Mayweather has a ways to go. I was there at the fight this weekend, the poeple were there for Pac about 60/40 as Cotto had a great fan base too, by the end, the 40 percent Cotto fans became Pac fans too - Pac fought tough and clean and earned everyones respect. I doubt Mayweather can even bring a 75/25 split in people paying to watch him, yet he's been clamoring for a 65/35 money split!!! What an ASS Mayweather is, he's lucky he's even being considered now. Pac does not need Mayweather now, Mayweather desperately needs Pac to create any type of Legacy Mayweather may want to establish...except Mayweather has said many times "Legacy don't pay the bills". What legacy does do, is create a lasting love affair with fight fans, history, and that can lead to continued revenue opportunity in other areas. Mayweather, if you want that unrealistic 65/35 split, then take your "sorry ass" excuse for a self-proclaimed legendary boxer back the WWE - leave the Legendary Fighters like Pac and Mosely to keep building their legacy against eachother and treating us fans to fights we will be talking about for the next 50 years while in those same 50 years we maybe manage to mention your name as the "what could have been a legend" conversation. Live with that my brother!

WTF!!! the only weapon? what about the greatest defense of the decade? floyd is fast, shuts people down when they cant find him and strong. Floyd has an unrivaled skill set the question is can mannys offensive onslaught bring him out of his shell? hmmmm
