Bottom line is that Manny is not going to stop throwing like Sugar did. He'll be going for the kill for 12 rounds solid which makes him a very dangerous opponent for Mayweather to face. The only "school" were going to see is a running school from Floyd all night.

How will Pacquiao avoid Mayweathers hooks, jabs and straight right hands?

I think manny is going to get hit a lot... and I mean a whole lot.
On the other hand, I'm not certain how much of Manny's offense PBF will be able to defend or counter...That right there is what makes this fight interesting.
I think it's going to be a close and controversial decision... but if it leads to a rematch I have no doubt floyd would adjust and destroy.

Originally posted by NesNY View PostThe real reason the fight hasn't been made is because Manny's southpaw stance is hell for a Philly shell/shoulder roll fighter. You simply cannot use that defense. The reason Floyd is such an accurate puncher is because the shoulder roll leaves his Orthodox opponents directly in front of his right hand counter (plus hides the punch, making it doubly effective).
Floyd still has all the skill in the world to take Manny to boxing school, but Manny is also a special fighter. A quick, two-hand power in-fighter, punches from sneaky angles, relentless stamina.
The matchup is so interesting, and to me Floyd wins on paper. But that Southpaw stance is the x-factor (as witnessed by JMM's 3 knockdowns). It's Sr's biggest concern.
Manny's entire run these past 10 years, even as a one-handed wild swinger, has come as a result of the Southpaw angles.
And I don't think any knowledgeable boxing fan will deny he has improved dramatically, even if only by improving his accuracy and power of his RIGHT hand (check-hook KD of Hatton is a thing of beauty).
This fight has to happen. Sorry for writing a book =)

Simple yes or no question. Have you seen anything in Manny game that would give Floyd any kind of problems?
If you answer like I know you will. Then Floyd should just drop the OST demand whoop his ass and laugh all the way to the bank.
The only reason to ask for OST IMO is that because Pac has showed something in his last few fights that could cause Floyd to worry. And, that is the reason he wants to make sure Pac is legit.
But, if there is nothing that Pac brings to the table. Then Floyd has nothing to worry about. And, should drop the OST demand. Because, even though Pac is "on that endurance drug" apparently it still has not made him good enough to beat the greatest skilled fighter of all time. So what is the point of the OST?
