Comments Thread For: Andre Berto's Trainer: Mayweather Would Beat Pacquiao

If we analyze what he said, is just the same that his fighter Berto has no match with Pacmans ability and he will rely on Floyd. Berto is on the line for the next Pacs opponent, Berto v Floyd is a good match either. If Floyd has different reason to avoid Pacs much more this time that he is facing several case.

He just stated the obvious... And I am a Pacman fan too... Just not in the same skill level as Floyd. Not one fighter even tried to grab onto Manny when he got inside to hurt them. Floyd is going to pot shot and hold all night until the right time comes along to start Tee-ing off. It's just a different can of worms all together.

Disagree. Why? Strong legs. Pacman squirts out too quickly. Floyd aint gonna hold like he did against Hatton. I'd argue that Pacquiao has best footwork in business. His footwork is really incredible, and he has strong legs which get lost when talking about his skillset. Those legs give him the power, and those legs allow him to get out quickly. It's his footwork which is killing these guys. Pac Mans legs are they key, not hand speed. His legs are the foundation to everything he does.

Pacquiao is much more frenetic, and I can see him using variations of those same turns and spins to get off if Floyd tries to hold. It's what he does best. Floyd may have some success, but Pacquiao is too dynamic a puncher and has too strong of legs that he will adjust over rounds. He's smart.

The real story will be the activity. Mays jabs will be huge, absolutely necessary, but on it's own, won't be enough. It's not that easy against Pacquiao. He just can't potshot, I don't see it being enough. People who say are being too simplistic, and parroting same ol theory. IMO, Pacquiao will eventually get to him and May will be forced to fight many times during fight.

The danger of Floyd teeing off is that Pacquiao goes to another level. He changes gears. We all see it, who else responds like Pacquiao does? Fact is, Floyd is gonna have to step up his O game like he showed vs. Gatti to beat Pacman. He's gonna have to throw combination counters like Marquez and mix in with his defensive skills. In short, May is gonna have to raise his game against Pac. He has abilities to do it, but it's dangerous.

If not, Pacman on points.
