How will Pac counter these Mayweather tactics?

[Nonitard]

Describe what Manny could do to counter or avoid these Mayweather tactics:


1. The shoulder roll

2. The arms up defense against the ropes

3. Pull down Manny's head with his elbow and arm

4. Left check hook

5. Lead right hand, duck under

6. Elbows into Manny's face

1. Won't work great against Manny. Floyd usually changes up his defense against fast southpaws because the shoulder roll isn't as effective.

2. Working the body. Pacquiao has to make sure he remembers this. He has shown an ability to mix it up to the head and body, and should make this a focus.

3. Same as the second point. Never seen Pac do this though, so he better learn now.

4. I actually think Pacquiao's right hook and straight left are plenty good enough to take advantage of the times Mayweather throws the left hook.

5. Biggest problem for Manny. He's a sucker for right hands. This is Roach's job to make sure Pac is prepared for this above all else.

6. Pacquiao doesn't like to get close, doubt this would be a huge issue in this fight.

The roll is not effective against southpaws. If he tries it he will eat a straight left.

1. straight left down the pipe.
2. Ease up then resume attack when floyd comes forward
3.guard up and any ref besides cortez
4. Guard up, up jab
5. Head movement, close distance so floyd cant get full extension, feints. (pac is notorious for doing the same with the left but marquez countered him to pieces)

good post, Roach is definitely going to emphasize a lot of this

the fight has to be one in the center of the ring, and Pac cannot expect to penetrate when Floyd's on the ropes though where he's virtually unhittable

He used it against Ortiz at times for close up action if I'm not mistaken.

Manny is not Ortiz.

Oh you said how would Manny deal with Floyd? Never mind.

Manny is unlike any other guy out there, this fight has to happen. No one is sure of the the result including the fighters imo. You have to favour floyd 60-40, based on his skills, size, defense, but honestly manny has the equaliser and can turn the fight on it's head at any time. Also his tremendous workrate will cause mayweather a lot of problems.
