Mayweather vs Pac...inside fighting-what happens?

[gqjohnb]

Floyd will without a doubt go to fighting on the inside as the fight progresses.

Are you f**kin' bllind ?

I get it, in order for it to be "inside fighting" PAC has to literally be buttin' heads with the opponent for it to be an inside fight, come the f**k on.



But fast forward to 2 mins. of this vid against a great inside fighter, you tell me..

That would be moreso "in the pocket" than fighting inside. You hear the reference fighting inside the pocket thrown around a lot when Floyd fights too

I believe that would happen at different points in the fight. Mayweather has such advantage in reach, he would most certainly use it.

Thats not even in the pocket thats just goin on the attack. most of those combinations had barrera near the end of his glove. Manny just has a relatively short reach so it looks like it. I'll find some vids of inside and in the pocket fighting.

Right on the money IMO...

You're right about his short arms making it look like he's doing something that he's not.

SMH dude.

According to some of these people, if Pacquiao and Mayweather were in a phone booth, Pacquiao would dominate

Is this not inside fighting ? Just exactly how close would you like 'em to be for you to consider it inside fighting, would you like it to be a lil closer for your taste, like c*ck on c*ck ? Is that the distance you're looking for, lmao

Watch Castillo-Corrales and Mayweather-Hatton and then say that Pacquiao has ever been an infighter.

Ok Here's your analysis of Pac-Hatton:

It is improved a lot, but it is not very relevant for the Hatton fight IMO. What matters is Pac's inside game. With Hatton's fast feet it is not a matter of IF the fight will get dirty and up close, it's a matter of HOW MUCH of it is going to be dirty and up close.

Mayweather is the best fighter I remember at keeping the fight where he wants (not the best, before people jump up, but the best at this) and he *had to* fight Hatton at close quarters too. A lot. He won the fight because his game (defense included) was excellent on the inside too. He boxed him, tired the hell out of him on the inside with some vicious bodyshots punctuating everything with an occasional hard right lead or left hook, and only then started throwing combos.

I have never seen pac fight on the inside, I am sure Freddie will work on that, but I am not sure how much can be done on someone who never fought much on the inside. Pac is a fast learner though. Pac will also have problems because we have seen Hatton manhandle everyone at 140 while clinching.

This fight will be interesting, Pac cannot fight "negative" like Mayweather, so we will see Hatton throwing many punches.

EDIT: obviously Pac causes Hatton a huge number of problems too, but this thread is about the other way round so I focused on that for now

Hatton was the best at 140 right???? What Happenned when he tried one weight class up against Collazo??? Got schooled... almost Koed by a B fighter & He don't ask for a rematch.

Pac was considered a beast at 122. He moved up against the best 126 lbs fighter & HOF MAB in his 1st try at 126. He Dominates. JMM Chickened out on the rematch so he takes the best 130 pounder available in HOFamer Morales. He lost but take the rematch right away & Proven he can Dominate.

There's a very few fighters who can move up in weight & still dominate. One of them is Pacquiao. In the past there's SRR & Armstrong. Today we have Pacquiao. Just enjoy him writing history before your eyes.

Who's better???

You just owned the **** out of yourself, idiot. He provided an in-depth tactical analysis of how he thought the fight would happen (he was off, but that was because Hatton came out trying to do something he had never done before...) and you didn't say a damn thing.

One thing that is funny about this thread is that before the Mosley fight I said that Floyd is the best in-fighter in the game and would easily win the match inside between both Shane & Pac. All the Pac fans said that if he fights Shane or Pac on the inside then he will get KTFO. Now it seems that those thoughts have changed and the Pac fans arent nearly as confident on the inside as they were before
