    You couldn’t.

    Pacman has never adapted to a fighters style. Couldn’t adapt to Morales/JMM. He wins have come fairly easily simply because everything went his way. But when he is faced with Floyd style, he was be confused and puzzled
    cosign...

    manny fights the same way, and wins his fight by imposing his will on fighters....he doesn't know how to "switch up," and that's why mayweather is a nightmare matchup for him. roach knows this, despite his false bravado.

      In his last three fights Pacquiao has not had to adapt to anything. He simply follows a carefully scripted strategy to win. Pacquiao might be able to adapt, but he has not had to do so of late. Lack of improvisation may be an exploitable hole in Manny's aura of invincibility.

        You mean "was" right judging by the may fight his adapting has diminished a bit. And I say this because he was losing the fight the entire time big but I saw no adjustments. It was like he practically gave up on his feet.

            Is this a question that is really worthy of asking?

                I really don't care, i just wanna see blood flying out of anyone's mouth. I'm sure it's gonna be floyd's blood only i'm gonna see as he only does potshots then run or he could use that elbow of his on Pac's mouth but then he's gonna get disqualified for that.

                  During the fight Floyd definately, his style depends on his ability to adapt to an opponent so his defense and countering can be affective. His long-term adaptation has to become more cautious and pot-shot vs risk the trading and aggression of his earlier years but for the most part he's the same fighter.

                  Before the fight Pac. Each fight he comes in with a new gameplan and new tools. He has not fought the same in his past fights since JMM II. More of the planning comes from roach but Roach has been there for 9 years and its only been within the last 2 that you've seen pac really change his ways and has transformed into a different fighter.

                    Having said that, for me Mayweather ... along with Marquez.
                    lol.. well the filipino dude conceded that Mayweather has better adaptive skills but he doesn't think that'll make a huge difference in the fight.

                      The guy in the first video doesn't know what the hell hes talking about, not from that video but from his other videos, hes balls.

                      Dwyers predictions are by FAR better. That ring post check left hook make you eat the ring post is dreadful stuff.
