Anybody see Cotto-Pac the first round. When Cotto jabbed and boxed and Manny looked like a lost puppy?

See the first couple rounds of Mayweather-Judah? Im just sayin basing a fighters performance on 1-2 rounds is silly.

[CrackYourJaw]

Nope,

Meant Floyd.

Were you joking then?

LOL.

Thats great because I feel exactly the opposite way.
However, If what Freddie Roach is saying is true and Bob Arum is on his way to the Phillp. to talk to Pacquiao about the fight and he can get Pacquiao
to come to the table with some commonsense... Maybe we can see if you are right.

Because IMO. Pacquiao is DONE.

NO JAB + NO HEAD MOVEMENT= NO CHANCE IMO

Pac doesn't use the jab to beat opponents. He just use it as a range finder.

I know you mean nothing of it. But I'm gonna say Zab Judah sets his punches up alot better then Pacquiao. Just wanted to get that out the way.

What? Really? You think he would have that much problem with Pac that you don't know how much of a chance you give him?

There is alot that has to be taken into account.

Me,

I'm more worried about Pacquiao's right hook. That punch of his has improved alot, and what I found so fascinating about that punch, is that Pacquiao can generate so much power with it; with very little leverage too. He dropped Cotto and Hatton with it. Although Mayweather's defense is great, he's most vulnerable to that punch. And NO! I didn't come to that conclusion after watching Mayweather Mosley, I've been said this for the longest (I can bump old threads). Corley landed it, as did Sosa, Jesus Chavez and recently Mosley.

Although Pacquiao is 5'6 1/2, that would be beneficial against Mayweather. As soon as Mayweather gets in close, Mayweather won't have full view of Pacquiao's punches. Jesus Chavez landed alot of punches that came from under and Chavez is 5'5. Chavez found some success in landing the right hook, Pacquiao could very well find the same success. It all depends on Mayweather's approach.

Walk Pacquiao down - You neutralize Pacquiao's left straight by not allowing Pacquiao to get any leverage. But then you have to deal with Pacquiao's combination punching, right hook and uppercuts.

Box - Look at Pacquiao vs. Cotto. Look at the late rounds, Pacquiao was frustrated with Cotto's movement and opt to stand in the middle of the ring and taunt Cotto to come in. His offense looked ordinary. In fact, Pacquiao looked ordinary PERIOD. You avoid Pacquiao's combination punching, right hook. I believe this is the much easier approach.

What I'd do is box for 6 to 7 rounds and then walk Pacquiao down. Then again Mayweather does surprise me alot. I honestly don't know how much of a chance I give Floyd.

Honestly when I say that I saw flaws in Floyd this is one of them. By the way it isn't so much the right hook as it is what's done b4 it.

I want to know the same thing.

No man. I don't know who to favor, I have to really think this one through.

I just asked did people catch and notice it.

Thing is those 2 fights are very different. Cotto was boxing beautifully in round 1. He gets caught in round 2 and wants to be Rocky. Then gets battered the rest of the fight.


Floyd-Judah: Judah is flashy and cute. Floyd is smiling reading him like a book. Well placed body shots send Zab in retreat mode. Fight over.
