Floyd can't potshot to UD win against Pac because...

[Dirt]

Thats where you are so wrong its who lands the most .

judges don't keep track of percentages and an exact number of punches landed and thrown.

even if they did, pac's workrate > PBF's.

[GTR]

Its not potshotting but ring generalship , its not running but controlling your man , Floyd is such a master of his trade most of you dont see what he is actually doing , he is so efficient while sapping the strength out of his opponents , his counter punching is so precise and accurate he make opponents think and he who thinks hesitates , game over .

Its called potshotting.

i'll be surprised if manny wins even two rounds after round 4...

Floyd fights IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING...the fight where he didnt was the baldimor fight...he has amazing reflexes that make it hard to hit the bastard on the face and he only gives u like half his body to hit..and when u do hit u hit the mans arms..

pacquiao is a clumsy idiot who moves his head left and right more moves a bit more side to side...he can do combo's vs SITTING DUCKS aka drained tired past prime fighters...

so people are fooled...and they think this will work against a fighter like floyd why??? cause AGAIN there fooled:

they think that floyd only potshots and runs around...youre FOOLED if u believe that

this could be floyd mayweathers easiest fight to be honest..pacquiao is the same one dimensional idiot that morales destroyed and just last year got AGAIN beat down by marquez...but again..YOURE ALL FOOLED..cause u guys think he's god for what he did to diaz hoya and hatton..those guys and VERSIONS of hoya and hatton could be beaten by a alot of other fighters aswell. YOURE ALL FOOLED...the media everyone...

Manny pacquiao is too one dimensional and too ****en ****** to beat a general like Mayweather...watch.

I suppose it will come down to whether you agree with Ray Arcel

"Boxing is brains over brawn. I don’t care how much ability you got, if you can’t think you're just another bum in the park."

or Cus D'Amato

"When two men are fighting, what you're watching is more a contest of wills than of skills, with the stronger will usually overcoming the skill. The skill will prevail only when it is so superior to the other man's skill that the will is not tested."

Mayweather fans focus on "brains over brawn" and most Pac fans focus on "contest of wills" with some thinking that Pac/Roach will out plan Mayweather.

I think it's going to be a great fight with Pacquiao being Joe Frazier and Mayweather being Ali. The only question is: "Is this Ali-Frazier I or Ali-Frazier III?

Mayweather may outclass Pacquiao but I don't think so. Pac was one dimensional 5 years ago. He surely aint that now. I don't think that Pac is going to KO Mayweather but he may be the first fighter to put a world of hurt on him.

Too a newbie fanboy it is , to somebody that understands boxing Floyd is a ring general , Dirrell is a potshotter by comparison to Floyd if there is such a style a potshotter , sounds so womanish or amateurish , all that probably when over your head when your first thought was runner

True but they know who lands and who missus , Floyd rarely gets tagged thats why he wins with such low punch rate , its his high accuracy and ability to not get hit that gives him the wins , Pac will have loads of trouble trying to catch Floyd and as Floyd starts to pick him off Pac will get a little tentative then all of a sudden Pacs work rate slowed , I love Pac as a fighter just I think Floyds style will disect Pacs , it will come down to styles I feel .

Floyd will have to be more active and be forced to fight against Pac though he would rather box I think. He can win but not in the manner he has been winning in recent fights and not with his current average punch out put.....he could get outworked if he does what he has been doing.

True you only need to win on the night , I reckon Floyd was in cruise control with JMM , Pac will bring it no doubt about that he is a great himself , the question is whether Floyd can control Pac , this is the sort of fight that will bring the very best out of both ., Floyd deeply wants this fight and is the most confident subdued Floyd Ive seen , great fighters need other great fighters to deliver there full potential , I think your gunna see Floyd show greatness because he is in with a prime fighter that is also great in his own way .

[screwhead1]

floyd can punch off of his back foot...this thread is void...

[lyricalether]

..I like both fighters, they are both doing great things for boxing. im a FAN of neither..BUT i only see 2 outcomes of this fight, IF pac doesn't really hurt floyd EARLY...those 2 outcomes are

1. Pac gives floyd trouble early, floyd finds a way to shut down pacs offense and make him hesitate, or try to box with him and get frustrated in spurts...

2. Floyd finding his rythm early on in the fight and frustrating pac earlier and have him throwing off balance and getting tagged a whole lot.


We have all seen Mayweather struggle in fights and adjust...weather that be in the same fight or in a rematch. He finds out what works and what doesn't and applies it..Pac does not adjust like that..when Morales fought him and he realized his gameplan would not work he continued making the same mistakes..When he fought JMM not once but TWICE..he landed at times but for the most part did the same exact thing and Marquez ate it up every time....The chance that Pac has to get to floyd early is bigger than most seeing how his workrate is so high and his angles are CRAZY.. that alone makes the fight as interesting as it is..If that doesnt happen plan on seeing a boring one sided performance with periodic beatings against the ropes by mayweather on route to a UD..maybe im wrong either way i cant wait!

[Allucard]

exactly how i feel. it makes me laugh when *****s think pac will get beat by potshotting. potshotting works when you can keep your distance, pac is very fast and can close him quick with speed of foot and hand. floyd needs to box/fight pac to stop him. i think a lot of people ar underestimating pacs skill and ferociousness in this fight.

Hatton was very fast, Hatton closed him down, Hatton lost. Baldomir lost. 40 of them lost. Pacquiao is very special. But Floyd is an ATG, a real one, no hypes, just haters hating on him. He didn't elect himself to lead the p4p ratings for so long now did he? Judging on the love he gets he must really be the greatest just to be there for so long.
