    Teddy atlas hints that pacquiao's movement and angles might give mayweather problems

    TEDDY ATLAS HINTS THAT PACQUIAO'S MOVEMENT AND ANGLES MIGHT GIVE MAYWEATHER PROBLEMS

    "You have to have a little bit of a decoy, a little misdirection, and that misdirection was the reason the right hand landed in the second round. Mosley threw a jab to the body and then ****, came upstairs with the right hand. A little misdirection, a little trickery, and you're able to nail a real good defensive fighter like Mayweather," stated ESPN boxing analyst Teddy Atlas as he shared his thoughts on Floyd Mayweather's unanimous decision victory over Shane Mosley this past weekend. As he broke down the fight, Atlas hinted that there are indeed some flaws in Mayweather's game that can be exploited. "There are some things to gain if you're a future opponent or if you're Mr. Pacquiao getting ready to fight Mr. Mayweather," he added. Check out what else he had to say about the fight, the performances of both fighters, Shane Mosley's future plans and much more.

      Teddy Atlas has the luxury of being wrong and nobody will care - Most, if not always he is wrong ... But since nobody cares what this guys says, it doesn't get the press it deserves.

      What is this guys claim to fame anyway?

          Pacquiao would give Mayweather trouble which would probably bring the best out of Floyd and thats what we want to see.

            His claim to fame was that he was an understudy for Cus D'amato and trained Tyson and Michael Moorer.

                  Any other fighter in the world, I would agree but with Mayweathers speed and footwork I don't think the movement causes him much trouble at all. Floyd sidesteps those shots and takes advantage with his reach and is able to potshot or jab most of the angles away. When he settles in and Pac becomes a bit more stationary, eats the jab, gets bullied around, and in his aggressive fashion of fighting, he probably runs into a punch(counterpunching) and loses a lot of his focus/gameplan. I don't see any way Pac could realistically win the fight.
