He was hit more because it was by design to open up Clottey's clam defense. I would see Floyd as better than Clottey obviously. You've posted but you also failed to see that Floyd can also get hit and probably more times than he can issue pot shots.
I see Floyd as technically, the master of defense. Bar none. He is the greatest at that together with Pernell Whitaker and Muhammad Ali (whom I consider the greatest). He WAS even greater in his glory days in his offense but obviously he has evolved into something lesser due to aging also.
But different styles pose different challenges. Pacquiao has never been known to be as a pure defender per se but his OFFENSE is his DEFENSE. It clearly showed that last night.
Against FLOYD, Pacquiao's relentless, all-angle, weird angle and machine-like consistency would also pose a great challenge against Floyd. He would be fading, ducking and shoulder-rolling as he would dance away while "pot-shotting"...(don't get me wrong I love this evasive style).
Sure he would Pacquiao. But comes with punching also revealing "openings"...
This is Pacquiao's style....
Therefore I see that the only person who can challenge Pacquiao is Mayweather and vice versa. Let alone Pacquiao is not just a southpaw but perhaps one of the best ever with his relentless style.
Do I see a weakness in Pacquiao? Of course....just as I mentioned it above, it is his DEFENSE. But that is due partly to his style of OFFENSE to "open up" his opponents for his taking...for his combinations.
Thus I said that Pacquiao's greatest challenge is also Mayweather.
It is the most contrasting of all styles...kinda like ALI vs FRAZIER (saw that fight live as a kid with my father in THRILLA IN MANILA). But a more relentless type of a FRAZIER while a less-offensive type of an ALI.
If anyone it is MAYWEATHER who can beat PACQUIAO....and VICE VERSA.
Let's bring it on!
So let me ask you this you don't mosley would be a good fight for pac?
No need to be sorry maing...like I said in a later post, I'd love to see Shane turn back the clock, but the only Shane that I can see beating Floyd, is the Shane that fought DeLaHoya the first time around. Too bad we haven't seen that guy since.
when shane beats floyd i'll find you again to laugh at you.You felt the same way about margacheato to huh?
Now U know why THE PRETTY ONE. will continue to PUNK OUT...
Now he can bow out of the picture by letting SHANE beat him...
This will AVOID the ASS kicking he would face against the PAC,
and let Shane take the BEATING in his place!!!
You don't really beleive what you just wrote do you? Seriously??? I'm rooting for Shane, but understand this - Floyd is a proud brother who isn't laying down for nuthin or nobody in that ring.
they both would take the test not just Manny being singled out, this insulted excuse holds no weight since both of them are "insulted" into taking random tests
Correction, MAnny did not raised this issue, it was Floyd! For the 40 wins of Floyd he did not advicate for this, why now in his 41st fight that supposed to fall through with Pac? Answer me with a good answer and maybe I will go with you!
After watchin 12 rounds of clottey playing punching bag and watchin the faults of every open path that could of been deadly for pacquiao if he were to fight mayweather. I honestly dont think pacman has a chance. There were many mistakes made against clottey. It convinces me that mayweather will take advantage where clottey didnt. I must say this, for anyone to say mayweather is running from pac is absolutely wrong... Take the drug test and get in the ring pacman! Lets get it on!
nothing new in other words.. if u wanna fight floyd take the tests, if not u dont really want to fight him cuz thats what u will have to do. not just pacquiao all of floyds future oponents.
so its up to them, anytime a fighter turns down the biggest fight of his life cuz he doesnt want to get tested for steroids it looks su****ious. but after team pacquiaos long list of lame excuses, contradictions and exposed lies.. pac really looks bad if he doesnt take the tests.
the whole "floyd isnt the commission" excuse is almost as lame as the other ones.
floyd cant do something that helps the sport cuz "the commission makes the rules not the fighters", yet pac can do something that helps nobody but himself and make up new weightclasses whenever he damn well pleases and theres nothing wrong with that?
all thats is is making him more comftorable, floyd is making it more safe for the fighters.
