Trevor Wittman 'Mayweather will shut down Pacquiao'

[QADASHBANYAH1]

From fight hype

"I do think, and a lot of people will think I'm crazy for it, but I think Mayweather will go out there and have a good time, maybe not an easy time, but he will go out there and put on a spectacular performance against Pacman and shut him down. I know Pacquiao throws these crazy punches, but with Mayweather's height, defense and his foot positioning, he's always in position and when you're in position, with the skills that he has, you will always beat your opponents to the punch," commented world-class MMA/boxing trainer Trevor Wittman as he shared his thoughts on a potential clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. With rumors running rampant that the fight is close to being finalized, Wittman took time out of his busy schedule to talk about the fight that everyone is waiting for.

"He is so good at shutting people down and even though Manny Pacquiao is fast and throws combinations, he will shut down his combination punching, pick him apart with a jab and slowly wear him out. I don't think he will stop him, but I think he will win a decision," he stated as he explained why he thinks Mayweather will be victorious should the two fighters actually step into the ring. Although Wittman admits that he's always believed that Mayweather is the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, it was the undefeated fighter's performance against Shane Mosley that convinced him that Floyd will defeat the Filipino superstar.

"You asked me about a year ago who was the best fighter in the world and I want to get back to that. Mayweather is the best pound-for-pound fighter. I said it for a long time. It's funny because I never bet against him, but I wanted to see someone go out and challenge him and I thought Mosley had the speed to do it," he added. "I wasn't going to bet against him [Mayweather] because he's known for going out there and putting on spectacular performances. One thing that I thought he did great in that fight was he got rocked, but his composure to be able to walk Shane Mosley down while he was rocked showed me greatness."

Ironically, it was that one moment of weakness against Shane Mosley that answered any remaining questions about Mayweather. "It's what I've been waiting for from him. I've seen him get rocked a few times, but then he would go defensive and that's what he does well. That's what he's best at. Mayweather will shut down Pacman. He shuts down all fighters. He's so good at shutting down what you're good at," Wittman added. "What I like about what he did was he got rocked and he pressured Shane like, 'No, that didn't make me scared of you. I'm going to keep pressuring you and backing you up.' That right there showed me greatness. I've been waiting for that."

Pretty much everything I stated in my posts since I have been here. Longer reach, better boxing ability, foot speed, better balance, manny has a very good punchers chance. Thats about it.

A punchers chance.

God is Pacquiao`s Mentor, superior in everything.

Mayweathers never had to contend with God before, especially His pupil.

Every time Floyd has got rocked, he's always becomes aggressive & tries to get his. This mma clown seen a couple fights & thinks he's an expert. I guess he missed the Corley fight

Pacquiao is a heathen, tattoos etc. (heathen customs, read leviticus 19:28. I am the last person you would want to talk to about GOD. I am a hebrew, my ancestors are the ones that are in that book you call the bible. My name is hebrew, I am a hebrew from the tribe of YAHUDAH.

You may think you understand, but the book you call the bible is a book about the chosen people known as the HEBREW ISRAELITES, OR THE IBARYAH YAHSHARAHLA PEOPLE.Not any other nation. There is not one verse in that book about salvation for the other people (other nations) If you can point it out, and you will see how truly ignorant you are.

They are not phillipino even though some reside in the phillipines... WE ARE SCATTERED ABROAD, RESEARCH THE LEMBA PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA IF YOU want to educate yoruself.

YOUR POSTS RADIATES WITH IGNORANCE.

PACQUIAO NOR YOU EVEN KNOWS HIS NAME.

actually hes correct he first goes defensive and then starts to become agressive.

When corley caught him, he went defensive first.

But he then becomes enraged (but still composed) and lays teh smack down on whomever is in the ring.

There is a video on youtube of this guy talking, he knows his **** and is actually a true boxing fan.
