Yea and guess what?? He shut him the **** out.. Floyd could suffer the same fate remember thats another guy who doesn't take any risks and just potshots. He's a defense 1st fighter too.
Pacman landed only 20% on Clottey...

i think there's a smaller margin for error when a defensive fighter relies more on his reflexes as opposed to an immovable shell defense.
that margin for error becomes even smaller when the opponent has fast hands, punches in combination, can punch from any angle, has accuracy and has power in both hands.
floyd better hope that his counters do damage becuz on defense he'll have to fight an almost perfect fight in order not to get caught on the tail end of those combos.Comment

If he fights Mayweather like how he fought Clottey he would get countered and his output rate would drop.Yea and guess what?? He shut him the **** out.. Floyd could suffer the same fate remember thats another guy who doesn't take any risks and just potshots. He's a defense 1st fighter too.
It's like people don't understand that Mayweather would step away from him and has a guard that allows him to actually see and counter efficiently.
Of course Roach and Pacquiao are not ****** they'd approach Mayweather differently.
Clottey and Mayweather are completely different defensibly Clottey guards, Mayweather stays out of range, moves around the ring and such. Another thing people don't seem to understand is that you actually hurt yourself and tire out faster when you miss a punch instead of it being blocked.Last edited by FeFist; 03-14-2010, 09:17 PM.Comment

in the DLH fight he fought more on his back foot with more lateral movement.
vs hatton he circled more to his left to nullify hatton's left hook and set up his own left cross.
vs cotto, he suckered cotto into exchanging with him, hurt him in those exchanges. he also threw more shots underneath becuz cotto was susceptible to uppercuts due to his head and glove placement.Comment

its not poor accuracy if just about all his power shots hits something. what is he supposed to hit when all clottey did was cover up and didnt move his guard at all despite all those body shots?
manny did what he was supposed to do. he executed his game plan and pitched a shutout.Comment
