Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: If I Hit Mayweather Like Mosley, I'd Finish Him!

[Spacey1991]

On the flip side and I know this doesn't have much to do with the topic I do see Manny walking on to a few rear hands.

[Carpe Diem]

Definitely possible. Manny doesn't just throw 1-2s..



He throws 3-4-5-6-7s

He also has more speed than Mosley.. which may stun Floyd.

Would definitely be difficult for Manny to get Floyd out of there though.. IMO.

The way Mosley caught Floyd off guard was unusual. Mosley used his left hand as a bait and threw it on Floyd's body, then he quickly landed the right over the top. It's similar to how Floyd uses some of his punches to land something big. I don't think that Manny would've caught Floyd that same way because he doesn't set up his punches like that, he just throw them from different angles. Props to Manny for landed those 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12's combos, but most of those punches landed because Cotto was leaning forward more. If he had just made Manny came to him like he did in the first round, then only few of those punches would've had landed. Manny would've landed some on Floyd, but not without eating some off angle check hook on the inside punches from Floyd.

how do u open up someone if they have both their arms up covering their face the whole time?? its not like clottey was making pac miss. so u cant compare what clottey did with pac to floyd. floyd will have to throw if he wants to win.

Pacquiao total punches vs Clottey: 246 out of 1231 [20%] (Missed close to one thousand punches BY HIMSELF against a guy who was not making him miss WOW imagine if Clottey was just a bit elusive].

Clottey total punches vs Pacquiao: 108 out of 399 [27%].

Pacquiao power punches landed: 34%
Clottey power punches landed: 35%

Lets stick to the topic at hand people, Corrales got nothing to do with this. Also, don't think I need to mention that Mosley's a much better puncher than Pacquiao. Pacquiao may be more offensive minded at this point in his career, but Mosley still packs more one punch knock out power than Manny clearly.

Yeah right. Cotto admitted himself that he was in perfect condition before and after the fight.. If you wanna see a weight drained fighter you look at Corales when he fought Floyd, and that was Floyd's best win..

Corales was literally spending so much time in the sauna tryin' to make weight. And was documented even before the fight started so it was never an excuse on why Corales lose because he was really weight drained.

what happens when a fighter says 'im in the best shape of my life?' they always lose

This weekend (May 1) will mark one full year since Sugar Shane Mosley, now less than a week away from a fight against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, dropped a one-sided, unanimous decision to unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The question is this.....with a SSM fight not far away now, why are they suddenly bringing up Floyd's name so often......???

Cotto breaking through Clottey's defense...

You've missed the point, it's not just about numbers, geeez u floyd lovers like stats. Pac did what he had to do to Clottey in order to win. He shut him down with constant offense, doesn't matter if most of those punches didn't land clean, it got the job done. Boxing isn't about punch stats, it's about beating your opponent. Nobody has ever shut clottey down like that, so that should tell you something. Did you ever think how Floyd would do against Clottey? How would the fight go? Both guys hesitant only throwing only 20 punches per round, do you think the connect percentage of both guys would be anything spectacular? Come on man....

Marquez said 147 was not a problem for him. After the Floyd fight, he went back down to 135.

Actions speak louder than words.

Cotto said this and that about 145, after the fight he immediately moved up to 154. Yeah, 145 was not a problem, the guy couldn't even make 147.

Money fights can make a fighter say anything.

[johncs08]

impossible.

how will you finish floyd if he doesnt even wanna fight you.
