It's pretty clear why mayweather ducked pacquiao

[priure_sion_08]

What has become pretty clear is that Uncle Bob strategy worked out perfectly. They call the Champ when He was out of Town, then got an HBO clown to speak "for him", made negotiations on their own and wanted to fight Mayweather with advantages, which of course didn't fly. Still, they got he mission of making Mayweather look like He is ducking Pacman. Brake news guys, Pacman is not scary OK. He is smaller and lack the KO power and skill to scare an seasoned and skillful boxer like Mayweather.
I think after all the smoke is gone that Arum and Pacman are happy not to be facing Mayweather this year and the best part is that this time He is the one who can claim ducking. No one is afraid of Pacman! as a matter of a fact, fighting Pacman is, as they call the Sweepstakes of Boxing and Pacman is not the "most avoided fighter".
Ask any welterweight if they would like to challenge him and hear the same anwer from all: Hell Yeah!

wow best post so far for *****s. Ross Greenburg is a CLOWN hahaha.............OUT OF TOWN MY ASS.

****ing ****** TS if he had a weak chin those shots would have KTFO him lol!!!!!! No lie Pac would struggle to stand up to those 2 shots cause Mosley is probably the biggest puncher at 147.

A fighter with a chin would have taken those shots without almost getting knocked out and rocked as badly as Mayweather was.Mosley hit him with a simple right hand,nothing out of the ordinary.mayweather rarely gets hit clean with such shots and when he did this time he almost got knocked out - that aint a good chin.



pac stood up and smiled to cottos best shots,not just one.

I don't think he has a weak chin, but it certainly isn't the best. Everytime floyd has been hit with a well timed punch on the button since he moved up to 140-147 he has been rocked in some way or another, the fact is though that you can count those instances on 1 hand. Corley round 3 and 4, judah round 2, 4, mosley round 2. Even the one against judah in round 2, which was a knockdown by the way...was nothing more than a balance issue.

Lets get this straight as well, because mayweather fans try and act like the punches that mosley landed the 2 right hands would have knocked out a rhino. The first punch was a standard right hand, I have looked at it many times, and it was nothing that cotto didn't take and more, mosley touched floyd to the body and brought it quick through the middle, good shot nothing more, this shows me that floyd's punch resistance is nothing special.

The second shot, was a right hook and was a bigger shot, and landed more in the temple reigon, saying this I have to say I was a little shocked to see the reaction it had in floyd's legs, it was alarming. He did extremely well to stay on his feet and his heart carried him through the moment. But if you observed the shot closely you can see that shane is leaning back and doesn't really get any legs in the shot, basically what I am saying is I think mosley could have hit him harder.

I definitely think there is a weakness in floyd's legs when he takes a shot, to be fair he has thin legs like his uncle and father who also had chin problems when they were fighters. This is not a hate post whatsoever, but I agree with the people that there is a weakness there, but his defence is so great...what does it mattter? He definitely doesn't have a chin like srr, srl, or ali, among others but his other defence makes up for it. I think if pacquiao catches him at the right age, which could be now then he could definitely get floyd out of there, but I gotta say he looked great against marquez, but you have to consider that was a year ago now.

I agree with you, that and the fact shane wasn't sharp at all. His punches weren't as strong as they usually are. Even Emmanuel Steward said Shane looked sloppy and too rubbery from the moment he threw a punch in the first round and lost his balance.

Mosley hits harder than Pacquaio does and Mosely has a short chopping right hand..Pacquaio has a lauching left hand which is easier to see coming and has less power. FACT

Which is why Mosley has dropped so many fighters with one shot right? Manny's never dropped anyone with one shot?

Manny doesn't have brute force power, he has shocking power that catches you when you aren't looking.

yeah definitely, I mean come on! Shane was not the same guy, not even as good as the shane that dropped vargas with that killer left hook, and I would say that shane was past his best then. The margarito fight was an anomoly that was his last great effort, floyd did what he had to do and looked great, but if he goes in with the same attitude against pacquiao he will get hurt more often, because pac is at the top of his game (the steriod issue to one side), if floyd gets rocked and then goes after him, he will surely walk on to another shot and perhaps 2 or 3 times.

Floyd doesn't have the armoury to absorb what pacquiao can dish out for a longer war type fight, thus why he will fight defensive and counter punch, that is the way he will beat pacquiao staying out of trouble. I believe pacquiao must score a ko/tko to win the fight, floyd has to establish his jab and just generally be himself, pac is the one that will have to change and show something he hasn't before from what roach has said in the past it will be an emphasis on body punching. What makes the fight really intriguing is that the other fighter will not be use to fighting such a high quality athlete, not just fighter but athlete.

Yes karma boy Mosley is the hardest puncher at welterweight no doubt,but he is also pretty old!!
