James ‘Lights Out’ Toney:“I’d put my money on Pacquiao to knock Floyd Mayweather out"

[Biolink]

Please tell me what Floyd does that PLAYS into Mannys strengths?? There is nothing.

Honestly...

He won't try shoulder rolling him unless its shown to be effective. He'll just high guard him. He's a single punch puncher most of the time, so he won't be caught trying to trade with him on the inside like Cotto did(For whatever reason Cotto decided that this would be a good idea I will never know. Why shy away from what was working?). He'll actually use his reach advantage and just box him from the outside if he has to. Pacquiao is not physically bigger, so he won't be able to walk him down very effectively.

The Mayweather camp will have an easier time finding what Pacquiao does that plays into Mayweather's strengths than the other way around.

We can start at Pacquiao's defense(Or lacktherof; Wait his offense IS his defense) and the straight right hand.

James ‘Lights Out’ Toney: “I’d put my money on Manny Pacquiao to knock Floyd Mayweather out!”
By Ace Freeman (21-Feb-2010)

Don’t miss what the always controversial James Toney had to say about a potential fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.!

James Toney: “I grew up with Floyd Mayweather… we all came from the same block in Michigan. Me, the Mayweather family, Buster Mathis, Tony Tucker… The ‘Hall of Fame’ block, you know what I’m sayin? I love Floyd and I’m glad he’s doing what he’s doing… but if you claim to be the best fighter in the world in the world pound-for-pound… fight! Don’t make no excuses.”

“Pacquiao’s going to knock Floyd out… and Floyd knows it. Floyd’s my man and I love him but I’m going to call it like I see it. The thing is this: Do you know what a rabbit does when it gets backed into a corner? It faints. And that’s what Floyd’s doing.”

In terms of someone getting ktfo, i would most certainly agree with Toney. A KO performance is all on Pac and also the chin.

Exactly. I dont get what that guy was talking about. Remember the last time Pac fought a right handed counter puncher?

Yep. A close fought war with Juan Manuel Marquez.

That's not say Pacquiao hasn't improved between then and now, but how are we supposed to know, when he hasn't fought a counter puncher or any kind of slick fighter period since that fight?

When I watch those JMM fights he was just doing basic boxing. Step back and counter. He was tagging Pac with simple ****. He timed him and countered him pretty easily. Mayweather vs. Pac will be a boxing lesson.

who is james toney again?

[SHUMENOV]

TONEY is right.

PACQUIAO by KO!

[SHUMENOV]
