Strategy:Manny beats Floyd if he can do these things.

[Pullcounter]

The fights going to be made, no doubts about that. Floyd hears the pressure to fight Pacquiao every waking moment and he won't be able to ignore it for 2 years, so with that aside let's talk boxing.

The first thing is the jab and lead left hands. Mannys gonna have to move around Floyd all night and alternate leading with his right and left so Floyd won't be able counter him so easily.

The next thing is to throw fast flashy combinations from different angles. Something like shoeshine. Get in throw some threes and fours and spin out before the counter shots come.

The footwork is going to be very important here. Pac will have to be faster on his feet than Mayweather for 12 rounds and not get stuck in any one rhythm, because Floyd will adjust to a predictable bouncy tempo.

Manny will also have to stay away from the inside because Floyd is an expert at countering in close range. The body attack won't be there for Manny very often, so he's gonna have to focus on being effective from the outside.

The most important thing is don't be predictable. Mayweather is too smart for even 3 gameplans. You have to come into the ring and be as fluid as he is. Throw some crazy **** into the mix, maybe hit him low just to try and rattle his flow, double punch like the one on Clottey just to see if you can piss him off.

Don't even dream of Manny knocking Mayweather out though. He's too cautious to ever be knocked out in a fight, at least at welterweight that is. It will take a flush Junior Middleweight shot to knock him over and the man rarely gets hit flush. Mosley got to him with looping right hands, but Manny doesn't loop his power shots that way, nor does he throw from the same angles as Mosley.


This will be a test of Manny's athleticism, boxing IQ and overall skill-set. If he's a better athlete than Floyd he can pull this thing out, but that's a really big if. You'd have to really believe in Freddie Roach when he says that Mayweather lost his legs. If Mayweather has lost his foot speed and Manny works the plan he can take the fight on a Majority Decision

alll pac needs to do is stay busy and outwork floyd. if he does that he beats floyd by decision. if he does all the stuff you say he will dominate floyd.

i think mayweather can take it..mayweather is very fast for the weight he comes in at and he is a boxing genius plus when he finds his rythm u can kiss the fight goodbye if your his opponent....but dont get me wrong pacquiao is very awkward, fast, and his angle usuage is insane...but he does leave himself very open and leaves chances to get caught off guard or countered when he starts to flurry and marquez showed that...marquez would start to back up while pac chased him with his flurries then mid flurry marquez would all of a sudden stop and stand his ground and tag him it worked everytime and then worked for whoever tried it too bad noone stuck with it like marquez..but you have to time it right..and i think mayweather has better timing ability than marquez so....and btw i do not like mayweather or pacquiao..but i do respect them and their superior boxing abilities...
