Why Mayweather's O will go
December 16, 7:27 PMMississippi Fight Sports ExaminerBrad Cooney
As they say between two undefeated teams clashing against one another, "Someone's 0 must go." Manny Pacquiao is just what the doctor ordered to erase the zero from Mayweather's record. Say what you will be about Floyd Mayweather though, but the man can fight. Yes, yes I know my Pacquiao readers hate to admit it, but it's true. People may not like the way in which Mayweather fights, but he defines the sweet science of, 'hit and not get hit'.
Here's the problem. When you get into the ring against Manny Pacquiao, that 'hit and not get hit' practice goes for not. Pacquiao will not only hit Mayweather, but he's going to him a lot, and it's going to hurt. Mayweather will try to dip his shoulder and roll with the punches, but the problem is, Manny throws with blinding speed, and at crazy angles.
Pacquiao will have to be careful of Mayweather's ability to time and counter punch. I believe that Freddie Roach will have the game plan, and with Manny's smarts, they will execute it perfectly.
Pacquiao is relentless, and in order for someone to stop him they are going to have to possess enough power to hurt him. Nobody has hurt Manny Pacquiao, other than very early in his career. He's been stunned a few times, but never hurt as to where he had rubber legs. Manny has a solid chin, and that makes things even worse for his opponents. The only way someone can prevent Manny from crashing through their gate is to hurt him. Someone is going to have to make Manny respect their power, and as of yet, it hasn't happened. I don't think that's going to happen with Mayweather either. Sure, Mayweather counter punches well, and he times well, but that's not going to be enough to offset Manny's power and speed.
I am not sure how this fight will end TKO, KO, UD, but I do believe that it's Mayweather's O that will go.
