One thing. I didn;t see the Mosely fight but I assume wide UD. Easy fight, like I did before.
Anyway, Pacquiao has 4 main things that will give Mayweather a lot fo trouble.
I believe he can tag and hurt Mayweather.
Southpaw seems to give Floyd trouble for a few rounds. He definitely is so good he can adjust, but you can;t give 3 or 4 rounds to Pacquaio like that. The shoulder roll also is not as effective.
Power With his speed, his power comes into almost all shots. This will hit Floyd on his chin sometime, and also on his body and arms. That really hurts for 12 rounds.
Stamina and workrate, No doubt Floyd can cut it down because he is that good, but Pac will be throwing for 12 and not get tired also.
weight At 140/147, he is comfortbale making it. He doesnt even reach 147 yet at weigh ins. This has seemed to make him able to train and learn technique more rather than worry on weight like guzman for example.
His timing has also gone better. He;s timing the hook when people come in, and overall reads people.
Now the main three for me.
His speed is equal, maybe slightly slower in potshotting, but his main assett is his combination speed, and the power with it, it's a very good blend and dangerous. If floyd gets tagged with a shot he doesn;t see, with Pac's full power, he will get hurt. I have no doubt now. Great chin though.
Angles Pac has the angles from both hands now. He has great hands on both, where as he only had that left before. Very hard to time him now consistently if you watch him.
footwork I always said Mosely don't have the legs to deal with Mayweather. Soon as I saw Roy not skip rope VS Hopkins, it was over and I took burners points lol.
The key to boxing, footwork. There are lots of men who have speed and power in their arms, but if you can't stay in range, then that means ****. Floyd has a chin to take and get rocked maybe 3 times before he gets dropped.
Pac has fast feet and can dart faster than Floyd going backwards. No one will stand toe to toe with Pac and throw. That would be ******.
If you can stay in range with Mayweather, and especially if you are Pacquaio, then you can take a close UD.
There are arguments for Floyd over Pac too, things like size, length, tangibilities, skills etc... Plus his dad is making him better.
But being a Pac fan, that isn;t my job
Hit me up on what you think of my statement
Whatever happens, I think it would be a great fight.
Peace
