RIcky hatton bum rushed PBF in RD10 of their fight and look what happened? He got caught with a check hook and never recovered fully. Obviously Pac has a better chin but that will not be smart at all. Pac has a better chance working the body and working PBF in the ropes. Pac has speed he can set up traps without trying to go for the kill early on.
I believe Ricky tried that with both Floyd and Manny.
It should be obvious that Freddie himself has changed his tune drastically since claiming Floyd would be a cakewalk compared to Manny's other fights.
In any event, I'm sure Freddie is setting up a plan to try and get Floyd out of there. Will he be successful? That's the main question that needs to be answered.
Floyd can be offensive and defensive when the situation calls for it.
It will all depend on what Manny shows up with in the ring.
If Pac rushes, then he could walk into big shots, but he will also land some IMO. The thing is, that's a tactic Hatton uses because it was really his only advantage, although it didn't quite work out lol.
Pac on the other hand, has a lot of things to him that can win but not be as risky. In and out with 3-5 shots a time.
i think roach is gonna use a similar gameplan to the one he gave hoya....just outwork and hope the judges give pacquiao the fight.....
He HAS to outwork in my opinion, No other choice.
De La Hoya was stationary though. He was very big and lumbering compared the extremely swift Pacquiao.
Pacquiao isnt gonna be able to do that in and out bull**** against Mayweather.
Its either stay out of reach, or stay close enough to him that he cant potshot pacquiao with that straight right.
Pacquiao has to take risks IMO. ANd he has the balls to do it. He has to risk eating some massive counter left hooks to try to work that body and wear him down.
maywather has an outstanding chin, but i strong believe Pacquiao has the speed and power to knock Mayweather out. No doubt about it. But it goes both ways.
If Pac bum rushes Floyd early it will increase the chances of him getting caught and dropped. E****ially because after he throws his 3-4-5 punch combinations he is a bit off balance after.
I think FLoyd is the better inside fighter so getting inside of potshoting range will only get Manny forearms then punched once or twice then clinched, Floyd has the shorter punches.
Floyd can fight from inside or the outside since he will posses the length advantage, Manny needs to find his range and fight at that not getting to close or to far away.
Hearns was a great outside fighter but really was nothing on the inside, that is not Floyd Mayweather so that is not really a wise move to use that as a basis of starting a plan.
