Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather-Pacquiao Happens, Floyd Will Win

[LeadUppercut]

Look back at punch stats, his jabs were crazy low but thats because he was pumping it to keep Clottey in his shell and to punch his gloves to create an opening. His power punches connected at a 34% connect rate, staggering considering how tight Clottey's guard is and if I remember correctly some 60-70% of those power punches were to the body, hence no bloody face.

Both have excelent footwork, that was actually something I noticed also in the CLottey fight. Normally Clottey was excellent at keeping proper foot positioning vs a s.paw (his lead foot on the outside of his opponent's) but everytime Clottey moved his feet into position, pac would correct himself and fire.

Well, thats a fair point..... but I cannot gauge anything at all from that fight. If Clottey had attempted to fight back instead of just defending then maybe you could take an accurate picture.... but as I said, you simply cannot compare the human punching bag with Mayweather, styles make fights.

When Clottey had Manny on the ropes (round 6?) and he backed up to the centre of the ring, waited for Manny to reset, then gloved up so that Manny could start up his offense again..... Clottey ignored EVERY INSTINCT that he possesses. Something was badly wrong with that fight. I have only ever seen that happen in the gym.

And it would be a huge mistake to compare Mosley with Pac either.

There's no telling who will win there's ****s to land on Floyd all the time and mannys the same but comparing fighters that they both beat some easier then the other one did don't matter it's not gonna tell you anything and when/If this fight happen it's gonna be game plan out the window and just fighting.
