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

[skillswin]

too bad pacquiao don't want to take the test....

anyway floyd don't need to use the shoulder roll against pacman cuz floyd has the reach and height advantage he is going to outbox pacquiao ass with range and good footwork, the PED's user is going to eat a jab everytime he try to come forward

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Great analysis from Donaire.

Just because Floyd is a great fighter doesn't mean he can't be hit.
Just ask Corley, Judah, Mitchell., Mosley.

Southpaws got a few punches that worry me for Floyd , and thats the straight left down the middle, the lead right hook, and the straight left right hook combo.

Yes Floyd does uses the Peek a boo style and that kind of neutralizes those punches.

However..............

When Corley landed on Floyd, it was a straight left down the middle while Floyd had his philly shell up, and the second punch was a big right hook that Corley landed only because Floyd was out of position after throwing his own punch.
Similar to how Ortiz got caught by Berto.

Hopefully Floyd doesn't make those mistakes in the Ortiz and Pacquiao fights.

But the good part for floyd is that he has the same advantages as the southpaws just in reverse.
His straight right hand and his lead left hook busted up Corley, Judah, Mitchell.
Also Floyds left hook lead followed by a hard right to the body does damage to southpaws.

And don't forget about the lead right left hook combo which is so fast.

So Pacquiao would have the same worries that Floyd would have.
Again, just in reverse.

Malignaggi said the same thing when he broke it down:

Pacquiao a genuine threat to Mayweather, says Malignaggi

MANILA, Philippines – Former world champion Paulie Malignaggi sees Manny Pacquiao as a genuine threat against unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.

He said this is because the 8-division Filipino champion has the tools needed to beat the slick fighting style of Mayweather.

“I always felt that somebody with fast hands, that throws punches in bunches and throws them in flurries… he has the ability to leave Floyd there,” Malignaggi, the former IBF junior welterweight champion, told *************.com.

Malignaggi said Oscar de la Hoya and Zab Judah were nearly successful in using such strategy against Mayweather.

“The problem is, you will very rarely hit him clean. So I think these guys get frustrated and get away from that. But in the meantime what they don’t realize is that they’re probably winning rounds because Floyd is not getting off,” he explained.

Malignaggi, however, said Pacquiao can employ this strategy with lesser effort.

“Manny Pacquiao doesn’t have to change anything about himself. He fights that way naturally.”

Fight fans are expecting Pacquiao and Mayweather to square off sometime in 2012.

The anticipated superfight is seen by many as possibly the most lucrative in recent boxing history.

But the Mayweathers know all this already, they may not be rocket scientists but they know boxing in and out. Hence, the constant 'vacations'. But we already saw how this fight would play out:



Except Floyd isn't as durable as Clottey and his high guard isn't as good. With his shot legs, he'd be a ****ing sitting duck in there.

I think its important to note that his land % against corley was roughly 53%...but i guess corely was a tough opponent..Its a huge myth that he has trouble fighting southpaws. Its true the dynamics of fighting a southpaw changes and they ARE difficult but really if you watched floyd's fights against them he does what he normally does....

Fighting pac is not a southpaw issue IMO its a workrate issue...but after seeing Many confused an frustrated with shanes movement im not sure if he will be able to give mayweather as much trouble as i once thought...

[F l i c k e r]

I agree.

I have said this from the beginning.


If Floyd can't adjust to the speed, **** if it's southpaw or not. If Pacquiao's speed proves to be too much. He gets his ass kicked. Pacquiao will be the best southpaw he has ever fought if Floyd does fight him.

Still isn't valid reason for Pacquiao not wanting to take a blood test.

[mathed]

of Pacman. Check it out.

Heck yeah, Donaire breaks it down. Floyd don't want none, Pac will be too much.

[iNDOLiFER]

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 not saying that floyd has issues with southpaws, he's saying with pac's speed, combo's and consistency plus being southpaw its gonna be hard for floyd. thats all he was saying.

doesnt all pacman's opponents have the reach and height advantages over him and look what happen. LOL!

[Ryannn]

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)

please. floyd agreed to 14 days. then for some reason "its off the table"

what changed? if a fight's not fair without unrestricted testing, then why budge then suddenly go back to no cutoffs?

oh right, you're one of floyd's children and floyd can do no wrong.

hey, i want pac to take the test if its gonna make the fight but don't act like floyd's team has gone out of their way to make the fight

[Ryannn]

Heck yeah, Donaire breaks it down. Floyd don't want none, Pac will be too much.

i don't even know why this is disputed.

floyd is scared of the roided pinoy. *****'s aren't even denying it, they are justifying floyd being a puzz by their overwhelming "evidence" of pac being on invisible steroids
