In Mayweathers favour:
Pac struggled against a counter puncher in marquez, his speed, footwork and power didn't amount to **** against marquez...mayweather is a much better boxer than marquez, faster reflexes, quicker and stronger.
Mayweathers jab is excellently timed, PAC struggled with cottos jab for a couple rounds. Although pac is considered a 'technical' brawler right now, he has his moments when he reverts back to his jab, left straight over and over, this was seen in cotto fight when he thought he had cotto, against a counter puncher like mayweather this is a no, no.. Mayweather is smart enough to let PAC gain some momentum to lead him straight into a counter punch, like he did against hatton, I saw him let hatton get comfortable..PAC is also a come forward fighter..
Other pros: footwork and range, a decent chin and overall boxing capabilities
In Pacquiao's favour:
He struggled against marquez but in the second fight showed some signs of technical brawling with his own setting up and counters.
People say zab caused mayweather problems but zab is a better boxer than pac..watch the first 5 rounds of mayweather/zab again, there's nothing there that the pac of today can't match or even better, pac is more dangerous than the zab that fought mayweather, is mayweather more dangerous since then??
Lateral movement, which boxer has mayweather fought with the lateral movement and ability to punch at weird angles like pac?
Roach thinks he has the game plan for mayweather, he thought he was close with de la hoya, the jab did trouble mayweather, mosleys body jabs bothered him too, pac may go for body head type attack like the one that dropped cotto the first time.
Other pros: warriors heart, in and out footwork, combo speed and stamina
my overall take, if Pac gets in fast and early or changes attacks as floyd adapts he may take this. If floyd gets past the first 3-4 rounds comfortably he'll know what Pac is about and it's game over for pac..I've never seen a floyd fight where he's troubled in the later rounds much...
What you guys think?
