Mayweather Ready To Fight "One-Dimensional" Pacquiao

[BillyBoxing]

But unlike Margarito Baldomir 12 losses and all became the champ at WW
and NEVER cheated to win a fight. I still don't understand why you guys
keep bringing up Margarito because the guy has been EXPOSED.

I give it to you Gustler.
Because he ducked Margarito that was a threat,plaster or not,and he wasn't exposed as a cheater yet.

Bernard Hopkins himself said it,Bernard keep it real.

Yall defend that brother for some color BS or **** sensitive reason.

Every person SANE MENTALLY knows and recognize Mayweather is very talented(no I'm not riding you Floyd,I'm just honnest) but also a coward and duck.

His personnality is ****,he's a PROVEN duck,bable dude,liar,direspectfull man and an hypocrit.
That's why I can't stand him.

I respect a lot more a guy like Judah,he loses sometimes,he's street and dirty,but he's for real at least.
Mayweather is a fake ass.

Yall suck his balls because he's a "brother" who wins.That's it.
Bottom line,most of his fights are unexciting,and most of his opponents are garbage,he fought in WEAK DIVISIONS,he's a worldwild recognized coward.
Time to step up,maybe I will respect him then.

Pacquiao wins in spite of Floyd's defense mastery.

1. Pacquiao's work rate is unmatched. Floyd is great defensively but I don't think he will be able to avoid all 100 punches/rd average. Floyd will be defending every second of each round for 12 rounds. I don't remember him doing that before.
2. Floyd will be dealing with uncharted territory in terms of avoiding punches. Besides the work rate, let's not forget that Pac doesn't throw these punches in traditional fashion. They will come from different/weird angles so I expect a significant amount to land sooner or later. There is no sparring partner that exists today who can imitate and prepare Floyd for it.
3. Speed. Pac is like Castillo when you press the fastforward button on your remote. If Castillo landed against Floyd, who can honestly say Manny won't? Combine this with the two reasons above and you have a freaking daredevil coming at you.
4. The ability to throw 5/6-punch combos. Combine that with the three above and I can imagine that Floyd will be like...WTF? Just like what Diaz, Hatton, ODLH, and Cotto went through.
5. Power. We all witnessed it last night. Not even a plaster enforced Margarito knocked down Miguel Cotto. Miguel Cotto was victimized twice by Manny's power in the first 4 rounds. Manny doesn't punch...he throws strikes with intent to hurt, not just to score points. What's really scary is that Manny's punches appear to be getting stronger now that his body is starting to settle in this newfound weight he's in. Expect that power to grow even more in 4-5 months. Just like what Iron Mike said before - "Everyone has a game plan until they get hit". For Floyd's sake, let's hope he doesn't catch the same type of punch Hatton took. Floyd, you're in deep sh_t!
6. The southpaw stance. Manny's left is made-to-order for the ****** shoulder roll. It's almost lined up perfectly!
7. Ability to take a punch. Who would have imagined Pac raising both of his arms and allowing Cotto to fire away at will and feast on him? Because he wanted to test Cotto's power? That is just freakin insane.
8. Killer's instinct. The moment Manny senses you're hurt, it will rain and pour! Cotto was lucky to be knocked down close to the end of the round. Otherwise...
9. Corner. Have you heard of a guy named Freddie Roach?
10. Prayers. If God grants prayers based on the number praying, I don't there will be more than 90 million praying for Floyd to win.
11. Pressure. Floyd will be under so much pressure. He cares too much about his "0". That's the big problem with EGO. Manny will fight with no pressure of losing. He is suppose to lose.

Nuff said.

The 7 Reason's MAYWEATHER never Lost or Never Will..!!!
Floyd Mayweather : The ‘Sweet Science’
Steve Coleman

For me what makes boxing the ‘Sweet Science’ is not two guys just slugging it out in a 'see who falls first' scenario. It is seeing some real skill and artistry in the ring.

In Boxing defense is not often given the credit it deserves and Floyd's defense is one of the best that I have ever seen. The only other boxers whose defense is similar in some respects is James Toney.

1. Mayweather's defense


Key to Mayweather's defense is the fact that he is always moving as well as the rhythm,speed and smoothness of his movements, this is what makes this defense effective.

All the while his opponent is punching.
Floyd is

• rolling,
• slipping,
• pivoting at the waist,
• feinting,
• bobbing and weaving,
• constantly displaying various ‘modes’ of movement .

The rhythm of the rolling is very interesting because most opponents alternate their punches in a very predictable way, only occasionally doubling up with the same hand in the middle of flurries.


When his body is turned to his right Floyd's left shoulder usually rolls up high to deflect punches and sometimes additionally he uses his left arm to deflect punches, it depends on the angle of the punch. Shots to this left side of his body are usually deflected upward and/or in front of him. When Mayweather's body is turned to the left his right hand is held up high with his elbow tucked in, so these shots get blocked also, a few well placed body shots can get in but Floyd is already rolling after the first punch connects.

On the rare occasion where a fighter does double up with the same hand Floyd usually catches this and improvises by adjusting his rhythm with a series of 'changes of direction' in his rolling. The thing to notice is the timing, all fighters have a rhythm to their movements which can be timed by an experienced opponent after several rounds of boxing.
2.Two different overall rhythmic forms:

1. the rhythm of offensive motion
2. the rhythm of defensive motion.

There are usually two different overall rhythmic forms, what I call the set-up rhythm
(preparing to punch or waiting to counterpunch, depending on the style of the boxer)
the rhythm of offensive motion and the rhythm of defensive motion.

However Floyd, like many great boxers varies these rhythms in subtle ways that are difficult for opponents to time, and he can seamlessly flow from one rhythmic form to the next without any break in the forms. Usually the opponent is not even aware that the transition has occurred until it is too late.


3.The name of the game is not aggressiveness, it is 'effective aggressiveness'.

Most of Floyd's Opponents punches get deflected and do not do much damage. Also use up a lot of energy in the process.
It is tiring and frustrating to punch at a target that constantly making you miss.

What constantly surprises me is the ignorance of the HBO commentators Jim Lampley,and Larry Merchant They kept talking about that Floyd should stay off the ropes. Now these HBO cats have seen so many fights they should know certain techniques by now.

4.Floyd Rest on The Ropes:

First of all Floyd get's hit with very few punches when he is on the ropes. Many times during Floyd's fights Floyd would rest while letting His Opponents flail away at him, this is a calculated ploy that only works because of the nature of Floyd's defensive skills.

Sometimes Floyd lays on the ropes, sometimes he stands in the middle of the ring right in front of his opponent, in neither case opponents rarely actually connects with thier punches in significant numbers.

Floyd's sense of the flow of a fight is fantastic.

5.Staying 'in the pocket',

When Floyd stands 'in the pocket', meaning that Mayweather was so close to His Opponent that they can not get the proper leverage on their punches.
There is an optimum distance that most fighters need to execute effectively.



6.The Science of Floyd's Offense

Offensively Floyd, 'place' his shots, he is not just wasting energy throwing punches. Even when he is in these defensive stances he is looking for well placed shots in the middle of the other boxer's flurries Notice that his eyes are wide open and they are seeing everything that is happening.
With many other top fighters this is not the case.

It is a natural reflex to close your eyes when an object is coming at your face and great boxers train to counter this tendency.

In the Joel Casamayor vs. Diego Corrales fight both boxers had defensive lapses while concentrating on offensive and there were moments when both fighters closed their eyes while punching.

Shane Mosley also closed his eyes a lot and flinched when Vernon Forrest had him against the ropes.

7.The Science of Movement

Changes of speed and direction, pivoting and spinning, dipping, rocking, backpedaling, sidestepping, feinting, weaving, side-slipping, angles––all are part of a repertoire of constantly shifting balancing mannerisms designed to alter the perspective of the observer, a kind of slick motion geometry. I call these various types of counterbalancing movement techniques ‘modalities of rhythm’.

This tradition has always been passed down from master to student mainly through experiencing the ‘feel’ of these modalities as well as using analogy to pass on information. However it is the insights that are gained through these experiences and the ability to execute that creates masters.


Floyd Mayweather Has Mastered The ‘Sweet Science’

[TOBYLEE1]

i could have believe in what PBF says IF he faught Cotto before and did what Pacman did last Saturday..

The problem is that he didn't and haven't fought any significant WW. That's why he gets so much flak

[GRUSTLER]

Floyd has everybody so up tight and emotional everytime he opens
his mouth to speak. I guess that's why his PPV buys has been topping
Pac with all three of the same opponents. I'm curious to see what
Cotto/Pac did number wise. For some reason I have a feeling that
it didn't top Floyd/JMM 1MIL buys due to that wak ass 24/7 they did.
We see soon enough though. I like and think Pacquiao is a very good
fighter but Floyd style is going to expose him and all the flaws I have
seen watching him fight but he is very entertaining to watch. BIG UP
Manny Pacquiao for this past weekend.

[FrankieClutch]

Before the cotto fight, i was as firm believer that floyd would outclass and maybe even embarrass pac in the ring. But after seeing pac's destruction of my favorite fighter, i think otherwise. He has a very good chin (either that or he has a really good poker face lol) and throws punches from very weird angles. Floyd had trouble with Judah's hand speed for the first couple of rounds, but Judah broke down mentally. Pac only gets stronger as the fight goes on, so that means big trouble for floyd. Freddie Roach is gonna put together the perfect gameplan (like he did for DLH) and pac will be victorious.
GET IT DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Impervious]

This fight better happen. I'll spend a years savings, maybe more just to get a ticket. Its a once in a lifetime fight to see. Well worth the cost its going to be. I'll definetly be there in the audience.

Lets get it ON!!!!!!

[Mr. Philadel]

bwahahahahaha

He cry how PACQUIAO has 20 minutes post fight interview.

PACQUIAO need to do human race a favour and knock that idiot out cold.

the human race?!?....you make Floyd sound like Hitler or somebody!!.....he's not that bad a person!!

[BillyBoxing]

Yeah, sure, that's why Pacquiao two biggest wins that put him at the
top were two guys Floyd already beat at their best.

Kill yourself bro.You're BS make you sound foolish.

So answer please,argue or admit you talk shyte.

Manny biggest wins are Hatton and Oscar(bigger than the Cotto,Morales and Barrera wins?)???

Did Floyd beat Marquez at his best?146?

Did Floyd beat Oscar at his best????Please?

[Gary Coleman]

so u can get a prediction right?? lol..dude stop it...ur just a hater..admit it..

Not a hater at all. I give mad props to Pacquiao. He's proved me wrong on many occasions. I have no choice, but to respect Manny's gangsta. I just have that much faith in Floyd.

When the best defensive fighter of this era makes a bold statement like the one in the title of this write up, I tend to take his word for it.

[Access_Denied]

No win situation? Doesn't homeboy still need money? Beating Pac or possibly stopping Pac is a win situatuon. Both of them are the best in boxing right now there is no potential fight better for either of them, although I wish manny was a full ww now that would be perfect. Pac and Floyd had their tune ups it has to happen. Mayweather would win this one most likely by decision. I hope arum was legit on the Cowboys stadium.
