Comments Thread For: Bradley: Why is Mayweather Scared? Easy Win on Manny

[Frank Chao]

Its cause Bradley is a strong minded individual. When your mentally strong, its hard to understand choices and decisions from someone who is weak mentally, and insecure, like Floyd.

Such a shame

[l3xxer]

N!gga $h!t Floyd will not fight pac, but he'l beat N!gga joke Bradley easier than Judah!! you see Negroid relying on Porch monky **** of HAYMON for some Pu$$y stipulations so he can fight another cherry. So far N!gga mutt still retired waiting for someone to expose Pac,Martinez, he won't even fight top garbage robocop unskill swinger buck bradley.

LMAO! timmy robocop bradley

Gayweather is NOT SCARED..!!! Gayweather Jr. is WORRIED... because he might lose to Pacquiao, if that happens,,, his Amazing World Record and BIG Name,,, will lead to nothing.... PACQUIAO's skills is VERY UnPREDICTABLE,,, you never know what he will going to do or think... i believe Pacquiao has a Great Strategy against Gayweather

[ReUterZ]

no one this thread has provided any technical analysis so wtf are you talking about? people are getting way too emotional in here.

You are the one who is getting emotional with your WTF.

Did anyone forget that Pacquiao was the one that walked
away from the table when they had Floyd right where they
supposedly wanted him? To this day, there is still no concrete
evidence that Pac will accept random blood tests up until the
fight. Last thing Pac said about it to Kahn was that he was
not mentally ready to deal with giving his blood up. I think it
is immensely funny how Pac fans make up this Floyd is scared
of Manny campaign when Pac is the one scared to give up
blood to make the biggest fight of his career happen. It's
all a joke. Bradley is just trying to bait Mayweather and bring
attention to himself from team Pac by saying his is light work
but I do agree that Floyd counter punches and bully's Manny
around the ring until Roach stops the fight. Now that Floyd
ain't talking Manny got something to say? Last time I checked,
Manny is the same guy that filed lawsuits against the people
that was negotiating trying to break bread with him. What part
of the game is that? the smart thing for Pac to do would have
been to laugh it off and accept the tests, prove that he was
clean and then try to be the first person to beat Floyd and make
a **** load of money while doing it . Which would have been worth
giving up a minimal amount of blood.

id like to know the gameplan that Roach and Pac will use to beat Floyd...can anyone on here provide any insight on his keys to victory . please dont say he would just win because hes the best, please list some of Pacs advantages. so far everyone has said PAcs speed combined with his flurries and angles. thats not enough info, but its a start. elaborate and share with us how it goes down, because saying Floyd pop shots and counters effectively is a given but how does Pac lansd trhese shots or what do you see in Floyd that makes you think he can't see Pac. please again dont say because Floyd is scared, manny beats him haha so and so on this is a blog you have the floor to explain.

Sure thing chief, let me take a crack at it.

"I don't like my son to fight southpaws" -Mayweather Sr

^That's pretty much the sentiment of most boxing coaches/trainers/etc. Southpaws make things extremely awkward for orthodox fighters because everything is reversed- throws your timing off, along with your balance. You saw how out of rhythm Floyd looked against a southpaw with speed early in the Judah fight:



He was off balance (including getting knocked down), was getting caught with straight lefts and counters (Pac's specialty). But as in all his fights, Zab lost his focus and became frustrated and gassed, started fighting very ******ly. But the same wouldn't happen with Pacquiao who is extremely well conditioned and relentless, not to mention a much better fighter than Zab could ever hope to be.

So May has shown balance, timing, etc issues as well as being susceptible to straight lefts and counters with southpaws now he's going against one who combines speed, ridiculous KO power, constant movement/turning, blazing footwork, and odd angles that none have shown the ability to predict in the past.

May's style is tailor made for orthodox fighters who throw one punch at a time. He reacts to every punch thrown, which is why Shane was able to land those overhand bombs because he first goaded Floyd into reacting to the flimsy jab to the body. There isn't a better more lethal combo thrower than Manny so I don't see how Floyd would avoid getting hit with a good deal of the constant barrage Manny would throw at him unless he did the Clottey and just curled up in a ball the whole night, but even then he would still feel the force of the blows as I don't think he's as physically durable as Clottey (lb for lb no one is).

Pacquiao in his last few fights has shown a penchant for countering jabs, which use to bother him but now is a liability for opponents. Just look at Cotto who has one of the better jabs in the entire sport:



Maybe if Floyd fought him in '03-'08 you could say the jab would be an issue for Manny but his footwork, timing, and countering have improved dramatically to the point that he probably is ecstatic when opponents come out with it early.

Manny would keep Floyd guessing and off balance the whole night and the counter right would be useless because A) Manny likes to turn his orthodox opponents to their weakside, away from their power hand B) Floyd wouldn't open himself up against Pac the way he does with other opponents.

So in summation, Pac's constant moving and turning would keep Floyd off balance, his combos, speed and angles would keep Floyd guessing, and Manny is adept at countering jabs and his straight left would find a home the whole night while the pull counter right would be ineffective.

Not to mention Floyd is turning 34 this coming month, has only fought 2X in 4 years, and we don't know how his reflexes, speed, legs, etc have been affected by the layoff meanwhile Manny is staying active and in peak form.

The Mayweathers know this all to well so instead of a megafight, we have:

there's no blue print to defeat floyd mayweather. he can defend,and counter with or better than the best.
