does sugar have a better chance to beat manny than he did to beat mayweather

[gauze]

thinking of mosley's losses...all of those guys had great jabs. i dont consider pacquiao to have a great jab, or even a good one. for that reason alone, i think mosley has a better chance in this fight

[Champ Is Here]

The answer is yes

He's going to lose though

[Danny Gunz]

About the same. He could catch Manny the same way he almost caught Mayweather.

[Ray*]

Nah, Mosley is just a name now.. i wouldnt be surprise to see him twitching already towards the end of the first round.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Mosley has a very little chance of beating Manny, so it's pointless to note that he does.

[Mega Eggot]

A small percentage higher maybe? I think Shane will connect more against Manny. So there is still a big possibility that Sugar can devastate Pac with a haymaker...

BUT

...I also think Manny will connect more against Shane than Floyd did. Shane has a higher chance of being stopped by Manny.

[1believer]

Yes because Manny is easier to find in the ring compared to Floyd, but still saying that though Shane will still take alot more punishment than he did against Mayweather.

Pacquiao certainly throws more punches than Floyd and that's why he lands more than Floyd on common opponents. But as far as connecting goes, Mayweather is the far superior accurate boxer of the 2.

Landing 44% on a guy like Shane Mosley, is not an easy task. 30% of your punches landed is already above average. 208 of 477, that was target practice for Mayweather.

Pacquiao threw 1,200+ punches on Joshua Clottey and only landed 20%[246 of 1,231], on a guy who literally stands right in front of you. Mayweather landed on Mosley almost the amount Pacquiao landed on Clottey, but Pacquiao needed 754 more punches to do it. That is horrible aim. While Clottey landed 27% of his punches on Pacquiao, 108 of 399. Pacquiao not only has horrible accuracy, he's very easy to hit. But lucky for him, he caught Mosley at the tail end of his career.

There's really not much else to add after the bold. Punches landed is punches landed. They still hurt. Punches missed and punches NOT thrown....don't hurt. It's not the end all. I mean, it also depends on how effective each punch is, that doesn't change the fact that there will be more connects in this fight.

You said Pacquiao connects more punches than Floyd, he clearly doesn't. Connect in boxing is about accuracy. You have to be more clear and say Pacquiao lands more because he throws more, slightly at that.

There is not a big disparity on punches landed on common opponents anyways, except for Marquez. Mayweather landed 59%, 290 punches out 400+ thrown, while Pacquiao threw 600+ and only landed 150+. Every other common opponent they landed just about the same while Mayweather throws way less to get there.
