What needs more work: Mayweather's Offense or Pacuiao's Defense???

[Cash Cow]

According to the poster "Baracuda".....................

"Floyd needs to improve his offense to make his fight with Manny Pacquiao competitive"

now I find this odd that he wouldn't mention "Pac's defense as needing improvement" for the most accurate puncher in boxing....

so what do you guys think? what needs more FINE TUNNING before March....Mayweather's Offense or Pacuiao's Defense???

[-Swizzy-]

pacquiao's defense obviously. floyd knows how to be offensive, he just chooses not to fight that way, whereas pac doesn't know how to fight defensively.

[nujabes77]

pacs style is in and out... you dont need defense

[.Sakuragi.]

Both should work on their perspectives, this fight will be their biggest fight.

As a floyd fan i really wanted floyd to take a tune up fight before fighting manny
he still looks a bit rusty to me

[-MAKAVELLI-]

wow...its been a while since i seen a TS in red make a thought-provoking topic


its a valid question

PAC does have a tendency to get hit when he gets over anxious or when he decides to turn up the heat...however, whether PAC realizes it or not, when he engages and get's hit, that also provides openings for his own attack

would he need to tighten up his defense? not if it means completely compromising his offense...but there are spots where he's not engaging and still getting hit...he and freddie need to improve that aspect of his game

when he's going balls out and tryin to lure his opponent into a firefight, that's part of the compromise...he does leave himself open at time



as for Floyd, its not necessarily 'improving' his offense rather, expanding on it....as brilliant as he is defensively, a jab followed by a potshot is not enough to command PAC's respect nor reduce the angles that he comes in


floyd's gonna have to let his hands go in spurts to keep PAC honest


so to answer the question, they both do...PAC needs to limit his vulnerable spots and Floyd's gonna have to keep his output beyond the pedestrian pace that he prefers

HOW?..i didnt see any rust in the Marquez fight...looked solid & technical to me. He appeared to be trying different things out.....i didnt see rust

if that defensive wizardry was RUST then...pac is in trouble..

I dont see Pac landing many clean effective punches anyway

[baracuda]

lol.......pac did ok vs a very offensive minded boxer in cotto......i say its a waste of time to try and improve pac's defense vs a guy who only throws 10 punches a round and runs most of the fight.....lol...and you you damn well ,potshots aint gonna be enough for a guy who doe'snt stop punching.....
