My boy Donaire demonstrates why Floyd is scared.....

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Damn man, I see you're still putting lipstick on that pig huh?
UnTested Manny is a threat, but what about the "Tested" Manny? You're circle talk & constant contradictions makes me wonder about you man.
Let me explain how hard Floyd is making the fight...

From jump all Floyd has asked for is "Random" testing, seems pretty hard to do to me.
I won't go into the reasons/excuses Manny used to NOT take the test, cause we all know that (It's not Manny NOT wanting to do the test that's stopping the fight)

Green K is on the way for your sig bruh. I agree with your sig to the fullest.

Good post...

Pacquiao's in and out footwork, combinations, stamina, and foot & hand speed is a nightmare for the high guard too though... It can take too long to transition from defense to offense from the high guard, but if someone has the ability to time and transition effectively, it's Jr. Still he won't be able to transition as seamlessly as people would want to believe.

Anyway, if people believe a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would be a wipeout for either fighter, they need to wake the **** up...

Imagine if Floyd looked like Clottey, blocked up all night Two completely different fighters but I'd have to say Clottey's high guard > Floyds, however, Floyd's ability and willingness to actually turn those blocks to counters is completely different.

Exactly! Point is Floyd would be without his best defensive weapon which is the shoulder roll that just frustrates the hell out of opponents. He won't have that against Pac. And a high guard isn't exactly the best defense against Pac's offense because Pac can leave you in a shell before you can counter because of his footspeed.

Floyd would be better served getting off first because of it... If he sat back trying to counter, he'd lose because even with his timing and speed, he wouldn't be able to catch up with consistency...

True, but it also puts him in the line of fire more often against an offensive juggernaut, who shoots powerful rapid fire combinations from different and awkward angles.

And that plays right into Pac's strengths...he want's people to throw so he can take advantage of their openings.

Yup! And if he did that.. the fight would definitely live up to the hype. If there's anyone that can stand and trade with Pacquiao at this time it's Floyd. He's the fastest/most accurate puncher in the game and one of the best of all time.. IMO. He can through fluid combinations with ease (used to atleast) However.. Pacquiao has the intangibles that he has displayed over the course of his career.. heart/will/determination (not saying Floyd lacks it)..

I'm sure that's what Floyd sees as well. Pacquiao feasts on fighters that try and trade first and is even willing to take a couple to give a lot more..

For some reason there is this belief that Floyd has issues with southpaws and I just don't get it. The man has no losses on his record. I want to see someone breakdown how southpaws give him trouble because from the fights I have seen he has dominated southpaws.

he's never dominated a southpaw on Pacquiao's level. the southpaws he's fought were decent fighters, but not world caliber level like Manny or Ortiz. if there's one thing Mayweather is good at it's adjustments though, and it'll be interesting to see how he adjusts to both of them. not to say that it'll be his downfall but he will have problems with them, best believe that. he got rocked by Corley and his glove hit the canvas with Judah.

[Sin City]

This vid goes to show how Floyd makes adjustments to give himself the best possible chance of winning. He switches up the stances depending on the tempo of the fight and how the opponent is reacting. Floyd isn't a one-trick pony.

he isnn't. but that's one less trick up his sleeve.

Is this why victor's and manny's defense sucks? Are there or have there been any successful slick southpaws? Seems like if you're a southpaw you have to be an offensive boxer because your defensive options are limited. Just wondering.
