    Now let's imagine Floyd on the ropes...

    Now with this scenario...

    Pac attacks with insane number of punches... in angles and with power. as we've seen it lately.

    Now what I noticed Money May usually do defensively is:
    1. use his shoulder and lean backwards.
    2. blocks the hooks with his right hand left and right.
    3. blocks the right hook with his shoulder.
    4. Fast bend downlow and up.
    5. Escape sideways and do quick pot shots.

    Seeing manny's capabilities, can you please share your thoughts how manny can penetrate Floyd's defenses?

    If you we're in Pac's shoes how do you plan to attack based from scenarios 1-5?

    When he bends down, step in front of him, meet his head on the way down with a left uppercut, right hook and overhand right to follow him down. Manny's fast enough to do it.

      Is mayweather's defense that good that all of you got shut even with a thread? LOL.

      What I think when floyd does number 4(bend forward), manny can catch him with an upper cut like what he did to cotto.

      When floyd does 1-3, I think pac can use his sideways movement and catch him on the right side.

      What you guys think?

          You beat me there by a second. Yeah I think so, too.

          Manny's hand speed is faster than floyds head bending reflexes.
          So yeah, will catch him when he does that.

              No ones replying, because you didnt say floyd is gay in the title.

              Seriously though.

              Pac's best chance is to keep Mayweather on the ropes and in defensive mode. Cut him off whenever he gets a chance.

              Mayweather tends to forget about offense when he is on the ropes.

              If pac lets Mayweather dance around like he did Cotto. He will totally control the fight, and win a easy UD.

                  I agree. May does only defense on the ropes. i think that will cause problem to floyd.

                  But i think Pac will also have hard time because FLoyd has a wide big body which he uses for defense.

                  BUT then again, Floyd also doesn't want to be hit that much. So I think he will just use #5 and escape.

                  I don't think Floyd wants to play in the ropes with manny.

                    I didn't say he would. I said he's going to need to.
