Hmm, Mayweather isn't known for his jab, he generally uses a fighters aggression against them. He has a great jab, but he doesn't rely on it to the extent that a guy like Cotto *has* to, to be effective
Does anyone disagree with me? I've seen all of Floyd's fights, and he almost never comes in working the jab
The thing is, when he fought Mosley he actually had more of a come-forward style rather than strictly counterpunching for most of the fight (he countered shane a lot but that was in the mid/late rounds when Shane was desperate)
I don't think Mayweather needs to try to jab Pacquiao's head off to win, just let Pacquiao try to dictate the pace of the fight and use his aggression against him. Cotto wasn't fast enough to counter Pacquiao, Pac's headmovement completely puzzled Cotto. He wasn't fast enough to work the jab either
I think Mayweather just needs to do what he does best: Fight smart, intelligent inside-fighting, counter Pacquiao when he tries to be too aggressive

Floyd is so scare he saids he could get kill in the ring so I don't know what you're talking about. Floyd need OSDT to even the level of playing field LOL. Manny Pacquiao is easy work but at the same time he's also extraordinary. If Manny Pacquaio wants it he can come and get it but at the same time if there's no test no fight.

Pac will end up like the last 40, confused and taking punishment. The way Floyd looked against Shane, I definitely will be betting on a late stoppage. Floyd is too strong right now. Pac looked slow and Terrible against Clottey. Trust me, Nov. 11, R.I.P. To the Pac fans...
looking at their measurements (calf, thigh, fist, forearm etc etc) the only advantage in size Floyd has is height and reach.........elsewhere they are on par.........
addittionally i thought Pac's punches had alot of power and were very crisp in the Clottey fight.....
i also don't agree with you Tyson v Lewis analogy........it was in 02 or 03........That's more than a decade after Tyson's best years as a fighter....by then he was just a shot sideshow........so i don't think you can read too much into that fight at all...........

If you want get good at fighting a certian style you make sure you get experiance. Everyone knows Mayweather has avoided southpaws for a reason! If he ever fought them people would see his downfall. Pacquiao is a southpaw with exceptional power and that is just another reason Manny would beat Floyd.

Everyone thought De La Hoya would walk right through Pacquiao like nothing. You all remember what happened after that. Not trying to compare that De La Hoya with Mayweather but im just saying. Using that analogy is plain ******

your right, Mayweather is not predictable, nobody knows which Mayweather you will see against Pacman, nobody expected Mayweather to fight Flat Footed against Mosley and stand and fight with a guy that is known for having "Power"
nobody knows which Mayweather we will see not even Manny and Freddie, Mosley was expecting to chase Mayweather all night, he wasn't expecting Mayweather to be the aggressor the entire night
