Anyone else notice flaws on Manny's performance??

[BritishBoxing92]

I saw it on the cotto fight and I saw it on the clottey fight...against a physically stronger fighter pacquiao becomes a sucker for an uppercut...clottey had good defense and if he pulled a 1-2 combination to manny and followed up with a cautious jab along with a few uppercuts the fight would have been different...clottey's bicepts could easily penetrate through pacquiao's defense when he has his hands up facing forward...pushing on the outside with straight cautious punches, and uppercutting when manny is on the inside with your hands completly up and guarded could be the key to upsetting pacquiao...after seeing this performance I am convinced that Mayweather's defense will trouble pacquiao not only that but floyd takes more risk than clottey amd has a faster/more effective jab...I definately saw some flaws in manny's performance..He did well though, but from now on other fighters will learn more from studying the clottey fight than any other of pacquiao's fights...

i was watching it live....pac dominated in all 12 rounds but was getting stunned everynow and then by clotty

He did it on purpose. He wants to take some hoping Opponents would open up and he'd try to counter. But you won't see it on the early rounds(1st-2nd rnds) cause Pac's trying measure if he could take hard punches from his opponent. Just my observation though.

If any other elite welterweight were to catch that mistake ans just straight punch, defend, and uppercut on the inside pac would be bitting more than he can chew

Its hard to capitalize when a guy is swarming you faster than you can handle and you are so focused on trying to defend against rather than make on offensive initiative.

Its impossible to fight the way he does and be more defensive at the same time, he is not a perfect fighter true but what he is doing is working very well thus far.

Well, Mayweather definately have a different attitude than Clottey and a corner that works in his favour, guess he got a good fight plan as well.
Clottey seems to be looking forward to his pay cheque and wasn't interested in the championship belt. 3 Million bucks richer..that's a lot for a african

The left hooks will land. Mayweather leans to the left when he throws the left hook. It's not the same as Hatton, who jumped in throwing the left hook.

I'm not saying the hooks will not land but while throwing one mayweather will get caught like cotto did when he tried hooking pacquiao...roach trained pac well on how to counter and angle his punches when his oppoments try to hook...after throwing a hook its hard to time yourself on bringing your hand back to place as uppercutting automatically has you covered

nobody's uppercutting pacquiao on the inside unless pacquiao lets them do it. The only mistakes pacquiao really made against cotto and clottey were staying inside too long after throwing a flurry at times to admire his work and getting countered.

But when he zeroes in and uses his feet he's damn near unhittable now.

Cotto got caught when he tried to trade with Pacquiao, something you cannot do. The positioning of Mayweather's left hooks is something his opponents will not able to dodge with ease. After he lands the hook, he's out of the view.

Pac does not want to to spar me i'll tell u that much........but props to pac did a hell of a job tonight......

[Anti~Jalandoni]

the thing is...

Mayweather is fond of throwing straight jabs...

unless he learns to throw lotsa uppercuts

but that would mean going toe to toe with pac

which Mayweather doesnt like.

throwing jabs that would make him open.....for manny's powershots

It's not like it's something they don't know. They've got tapes, and studied them for days. They just couldn't do it. But Clottey is a b class fighter at best. Mayweather is A+, you'll see a genius fighting.
