Would Pacquiao get dominated by Mayweather?

All these articles... They mean nothing. Until they fight, it's 50/50. Always will be.

No way.

Unless Floyd had the perfect game plan, and Pac had the worse.

The Pac of now is still as fast, but more accurate and comes with more angles. That is very hard to deal with.

The old Pac was still good, but he lacked a right ahnd and his left was only powerful with a straight. Now he does a hell of a lot more.

Somehow I feel he has also imprvoed his timing and punch choice.

At 147, Pac seemes happy to make the weight. He doesn't have to lose 14 lbs anymore.

Most Pac fights that he has lost or drawn or come close to losing were all very close rounds. It is hard to dominate him now for sure.

If Floyd ever wins a shut out, which I doubt it, then it will be close rounds.

Pac has a few things that make it hard for Floyd.

He has equal speed. Difficult to defend against.

He is pretty accurate considering his speed.

He has stamina that allows him to throw 4-6 punch combo's at angles. This is where Floyd's great eyes will make him not see some shots. The question is whether he can conter as many back.

Pac has equal footwork speed and can dart in and out. I believe Hatton usedhis footwork effectively, but his punches were not good enough to land. Pac has better of both.

He has power. Floyd won;'t smile back if Pac lands some good, fast shots.

Pac has a good trainer and team. He also seems to already be preparing for Mayweather by testing how he deals with blood tests now, and also has fighters that shoulder roll or have the length and speed of Floyd to spar with.

Floyd will no doubt be in a tough fight VS Mosely. If Floyd wins, it won;t be easy and he will have taken some shots.

Both are great physical specimens as boxers. They work hard and deserve to make what they make.

I can not see Pac being dominated in each round at all. I can possibly see a wide UD if Floyd has the perfect fight and wins the close rounds because I also agree that Floyd has the skills, and tools to beat Pac.

Fair enough assessment IMO.

What do you think Pacquiao can do to neutralize Floyd's counter right hand and reach advantage?

Pacquiao is not bigger than Floyd either, so he's not going to have an easy time walking him down, should Floyd choose to box him(Which he probably will).

I think Mayweather will go to the high guard against Pacquiao, to minimize his straight left. He's been hit pretty flush agaisnt Southpaws on occasion in the past using it, so why bother with it now when you go up against a fighter like Pacquiao that throws the fastest combinations in the game?

Pac will have a very hard time walking him down. He needs to fight like the smaller guy by darting in and out a little like VS Oscar I suppose.

If he chooses the walk him down like how he use to rush JMM for example, he will get tagged with something. He shouldn't get careless and brawl but that is his weakness and his strength depending on who he fights.

I feel that Floyd will utilise his jab more against Pac. It seemed he was testing things out against JMM.

If Floyd managed to stay in the centre of the ring and Pac stands there waiting, then Floyd's reach advantage will most definitely make him tag first, especially with his pot shot speed.

Floyd's counter right is a tough one, but Manny also jumps in with his counter left. I really don't know where that will go.

As for the high guard, yes that can work, but Manny uses body punches well and his punches will wear down Floyd's hands or arms. We know Floyd doesn't have good hands to take shots so I believe he will use his eyes and more of his reflexes.

The way I can see Floyd winning is by a UD but each round extremely close. Both throwing but Floyd managing to block some shots while Manny takes them to the face.

I look forward to reading more from you when that fight gets signed

[counterpunch]

Pacman can throw accurate punches and on different angle on opponent that is stationary or moving forward like what we seen against Diaz, DLH, Hatton and Cotto but launches the same forward attack w/c is 2 right jabs and a straight left hands w/c is what PBF may be is talking about as single dimension. JMM and PBF usually steps backwards and adjust their distance against opponent so they can launch an effective counterpunch when attack, totally different style from the above boxers.
PBF makes more dangerous than JMM coz JMM is purely counterpuncher while PBF can attack from a distance with different knock out punches, left hook like what he did to JMM and right straight which he uses to Judah and Corrales.

I think Floyd will be too slick and too fast for Manny to catch.

I'm Sure Pac Would Get Taken 2 Skool Again..... Marquez Took Him 2 Skool Big time.. And Morales did the same.. Floyd Being Bigger and stronger Would Knock Manny out....................... Pac Is a fraud !!!! If He had nothing 2 Hide , Then he would have taken the drug test and fought Mayweather... Think About it ! Those are not the Actions of a innocent man.....
