5 Major Reasons Manny Pacquiao Can Beat Floyd Mayweather

[skillswin]

Ok fine, who is say Floyd lands 50% on Manny? Because he's done it in other fights then he can't possibly do it to Manny. You're right, all the *****s are right. You can't use punch stats as a basis for an argument, with that then... Manny kills floyd with one punch, the first punch he throws in the fight because Manny never misses and he KO's with one punch in all his fights. My God you guys are idiots.

Pac vs Mosly and Clottey. What is your point that Manny won both fights and didn't lose a single round? Thanks for actually helping my argument. The Clottey fight is a perfect example of inactivity hurting you, this is too easy please respond so I can own both of you some more.

Floyd 40% 50% is something commun and manny is EZ to hit, how many times margarita hit him??? LOL

All Manny has to do is throw 70 punches a round and he'll win by UD. Floyd's doesn't throw enough punches, people say he is in great shape which I'm sure he is but if you only throw 40-50 punches a round and stand in the pocket its pretty easy to keep your stamina. Even if Floyd lands 50% and Manny lands 30% of his punches but throws more than Floyd Manny will win off of nothing more than activity.

Manny will be able to take Floyds shots if he can take Cotto and Marg's shots. He never takes a break during the rounds and his head movement won't allow Floyd to land at will like it did against Marquez, Hatton and Mosley as neither of guys fight anything like Manny. Floyds only chance to win a fight against Manny IMO is a KO.

I respect your opinion, but i still disagrees on few things that you posts. First of all, it depends on how much active Manny would have to be to win on activity alone because mostly every opponents Floyd has faced has out-thrown more punches than him[Excluding the Shane fight, and maybe few of his older fights], whether they out-thrown him by 100 more punches, 200 more, ect, but he still connected more enough to won those fights. I may have to check again, but Floyd has only been out-landed once in his professional career against Jose Luis Castillo in their first fight.


I don't think Floyd have to KO Manny to beat him[very unlikely to happen] because unlike most of the Boxers Manny has fought, Floyd has the ability to control range and fight tempo pace, and those would be enough to neutralize Manny's angle punches and make him Box. If Manny were to out-throws Floyd by 500 punches which is very unlikely considering Floyd isn't stationary target[*cough**Margarito**cough*], but it would be enough for him to pull it off on activity alone.

Here are some additional thoughts to consider:

1) Floyd has not really proven himself at WW. His six fights fights were against three B and C fighters, two smaller fighters from 1 and 2 divisions lower, and one 38 year old past prime fighter. Since he has avoided facing the bests in the WW division, how he performs against an elite fighter remains a big question mark.

And 2) Floyd has been hit before and, in a few occasions, wobbled by boxers with less power and less accomplished than Pac. Once he starts getting hit by Pac's bombs, and there's no doubt he is going to get hit by this relentless boxer, how will he react? Will he keep his ground and trade like he did with Shane and risk a KO, or will he start running, be mainly on the defensive, and lose his composure like what happened to most of Pac's opponents?
It is doubtful if can do to Pac what he did to Marquez for the obvious reason that a WW Pac is a lot different from a WW Marquez.
Floyd has also shown that he could not totally keep away from fighters like Castillo and ODLH, both of whom were a lot slower than Pac, and this was when Floyd was younger and more agile.
Even Hatton had his moments against Floyd and we've all seen the huge gap between Hatton and Pac.

If anyone would still insist that Floyd will simply school Pac, they better have their heads examined.

Ok. I respect your view. Here's the thing, Floyd has been fighting at C and B+ modes in those fights. If Manny can bring out the A-Game in Floyd, Manny will be in for a fight the likes he and you haven't seen.

But again, only way to know is if they actually fight.

I give Manny the first few rounds on the cards. Then it's show time.

yes ^^^^

pac has to start fast to win this one IMO....

[Dale Cardon]

100% agree

floyd has lost his legs

the only way to beat pacquiao is to run and counter him

beat him on points

if floyd doesn't have legs he's going to get KTFO

If a 39 years old Mosley can run for 9 straight rounds, I don't see how a younger floyd can't do the same.

The question is, does Floyd really have an A game hiding somewhere, something which he has not shown yet at WW? Or has he maxed out?

Like you mentioned, the only way to find out is for the fight to happen.

[The Gambler1981]

Floyd forced to fight is a dangerous man point blank, people talk shit but don't forget that and ain't no other boxer like Floyd so saying he can do this or that to him and it just work out especially given some key advantages Mayweather has is really being optimistic.

It could end up close, but really I think Manny is going to force the fight so either Floyd is going to beat the fuck out of him or Manny is going to really get after Floyd so I just don't see that outcome being that close.

Still it would never die if it ends in a close fight though~

I believe floyd still has the A-game in him. The fight with Pac will probably bring that out since he knows that is going to be the most important fight of his life.

He will prepare well for this career defining fight. The question is, will his A game be enough to beat Pacquiao.

I honestly have my doubts, but who knows? Floyd is a tactician. He might come out with a good plan for this fight.

The only way to find out is for the fight to happen.

I think all five of these are very legit, let me know what you guys think.

1. Shoulder roll dosn't work as good on a left hander
2. When Manny throws his straight left he always leans to his right it will prevent a counter right hand or upper cut that Floyd likes to throw. It will also keep him off balance.
3. Mayweather is accustomed to throwing 20 to 30 punches a round. With Manny he will have to bring that number up and at 34 years of age that will be difficult to do.
4.I doubt Mayweather chin will be able to handle one of Manny's bombs
5. Mayweather will lose in a toe to toe match, pace will overwelm Mayweather
