The ONLY Strategy for Defeating Floyd Mayweather

[sycomantz]

can someone paraphrase all this ****?

shes a groupie, how was that?

[sycomantz]

This is WAY too convoluted for an idiot like Pacquiao to understand let alone implement in the ring.

The fact that he has to read the art of war and do all of this damn homework just to compete shows hes in way over his head. Pacquiao will get KO'd or much worse following this plan.

bwahahaha........

what is your SINGLE most truest reason that you think Manny will win? you sound too confident when if you ask me IF there is a sure shot here it's Mayweather. there has to be something in particular, 1 thing, that you see that assures you and I'm curious to know what. you say all this and bring up 5 page long articles I'm wondering from a fans point of view how can YOU be so sure? don't tell me to dig through this long ass thread neither ya dig.. dead ass tho no hate I'm just asking ya opinion if you care to share it

You know what? You are a Mayweather fan who is gonna to defend him tooth & nail. You believe the Pacman is not in his league so anything I say won't convince you otherwise. I speak my mind and whether you like it or not, I don't care one bit.

I firmly believe that the Pacman will "Break-down" Pretty Boy's defenses to the point of taking this fight either by Knockout or TKO victory. Floyd is gonna be reluctant to go head-to-head, toe-to-toe with the Pacman because he knows that the Pacman is powerful with both fists. The only thing Floyd will do is try to lure Manny into traps by which the Pacman had already prepared defenses for. Pretty Boy will get frustrated and will try other plans to see if they will work against the Pacman but to no avail.

The plan to "Break-down" Pretty Boy will take its toll on Mayweather I would say in the mid-rounds and the Pacman will step up his body attacks. Floyd will falter and will soon fall victim to one of the Pacman's vicious hooks and shortly after this, the fight will be over for Pretty Boy.

Is this confident? You bet it is! Can it happen? You bet it can! Will it happen? I believe it will!

Hahaha...

[Silencers]

1. Blitzkrieg attack. Seriously? Go all out for an early rounds stoppage? That plays right into Mayweather's hands. Mayweather is too disciplined to be 'shocked and awed'.

2. I can agree with Pacquiao needing to be accurate but a high workrate is a double edged sword, especially against a defensive guy like Mayweather, you're bound to miss when you keep up a high workrate as it is but against a defensive fighter you'd probably miss even more.

3. Swarming Mayweather isn't the best idea either, Jesus Chavez tried it and got countered all night long.

4. I agree with cutting off the ring but a lunging left hook? No.

I just read the last few points of the article or whatever it was, don't really agree with it.

The ONLY strategy for defeating Floyd Mayweather

. . . continued from << first part
Intro: There is one singular strategy that has never been employed against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Using it would leverage the element of surprise - which is a critical variable in war.
It is a tactic that has been successfully used before, and a technique that plays to Floyd's weaknesses. We believe that this plan will also be employed by Freddie Roach to play to Mayweather's massive ego. We find historical examples of this warplan, including a technique that Hannibal used against several ancient Roman generals which wreaked havoc around the Italian Peninsula over 2,000 years ago.
Secondly, we continue an analysis of four boxers who (temporarily) outfought Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Undoubtedly, "Money" will be the most prolific defensive and counter-punching opponent both Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach will ever face in their hall of fame careers. That Mayweather is an early slight betting favorite in this fight is the correct initial position from the ******** marketplace.
Do not be distracted by all the name-calling and trash-talking. That is mere noise. The movers and shakers of the world dig beneath the surface. A saying in investment banking: "(Believe) half of what you see, none of what you hear." [ >> Fighter of the Year Award: Manny Pacquiao ]

Fact: Floyd is a terrifc machine. His talents are a significant variable in determining the outcome of this showdown. However, the blueprint for his defeat is laid out in three fights: the first Jose Luis Castillo fight, the early rounds of Zab Judah (covered in the first part of this article), and the second and third rounds of the Oscar de la Hoya fight in 2007. All three fights involved Floyd Mayweather. [ >> Photos: Mayweather vs De la Hoya ]
We juxtapose these with five of Manny Pacquiao's bouts with two great (and smaller) counter-punchers - Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez - to see if we can gather any insights. (The second fight with Marco Antonio Barrera fight also saw a fighter that tried to counter Manny for all 12 rounds.)
No forward-looking analysis is 100% accurate. There is no Merlin with a magic crystal ball. However, we explore any habits from trend-analysis as well as prospective gameplans from each fighter in order to maximize each's probability for success. Additionally, Freddie Roach has implied a strategy against Mayweather, Jr.; that his team would "set up traps." Roach is already working hard on setting up smokescreens and mirrors for this fight, and in laying down his camp's deceptions. We explore what "traps" may mean.

In the words of Winston Churchill:

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

2007: Oscar de la Hoya
Rounds 2 and 3 [ video >> ]
The Oscar de la Hoya fight reveals a few insights. The bigger man (Oscar) was able to back up and over-power Floyd in spurts, often pinning him against the ropes. Oscar often stepped on Floyd's foot to keep him in place. That allowed de la Hoya to throw in bunches, while Floyd concentrated on accuracy and points.
Floyd does not like being pressured, and when he gave openings, he showed vulnerabilities to being hit, especially when his feet and shoulders squared up to face de la Hoya. Manny Pacquiao's explosiveness will have enough power to force occasional and tactical retreats by Floyd. Unfortunately for Oscar, he did not throw body punches when Floyd did square up to face him, to leave openings to the body. Roach and Pacquiao will capitalize on what Oscar did not.


Continued on Page 2

Firstly this is article is all too convoluted, the "epic" analogies with Hannibal, Churchill etc are redundant.

Secondly "Floyd does not like being pressured", Floyd's game is based on nullifying pressure. To say he "doesn't like pressure" is like saying Manny Pacquiao doesn't like to brawl.

Whoever wrote this article needs to work on their game but there are a few glimpses of talent throughout.
