John Scully: Mayweather Is Special, He beats Pacquiao..

[hugh grant]

How is it possible to dominate in a competitive fight?Hatton did ok because he was a good pressure fighter. Pac does not fight like that, he is not a pressure fighter. And if he tried to become a pressure fighter like Hatton to have success against Floyd he will get punished for it worse than Hatton did.


In my opinion its not a close fight, not a 50/50 fight. I'd say more like 70/30 in Mayweathers favour. I just can't see him ever losing to a smaller fighter with shorter reach. Pac has fight changing power and that's why he gets a 30 percent chance. If he had no power he would be no different than Paulie Malignaggi.

I think Pac is a pressure fighter, but educated and not reckless, he knows what hes doing and thats why hes so succesful.

Ha ha, comparing him to Paul Mallignagi, ha ha. Floyd can lose to a smaller fighter for sure, as long as that small fighter can fight at a weight hes comfortable at. I dont think JMM did too badly against Floyd considering how much smaller he was, so i think Pac would do extremely well.
Im not too convincned Floyd can stop Pac doing what Pac does so well. Rather than say Pac dont do this as good as hatton or do that as good as so and so. Concentrate on what Pac does do extremely well, and no one thus far has been able to deal with it.

Favorite Boxers To Watch: Muhammad Ali, Tommy Hearns, Nino LaRocca, Aaron Pryor. LaRocca was called "The Italian Ali." He was a welterweight back in the 80's that boxed a lot like Cassius Clay did against Sonny Liston. I also liked watching Tommy Hearns because not only did he put sharp, strong punches together extremely well but he was also a guy who, in his prime, could change a fight with one shot, just like that, in the blink of an eye. I admire him because he always, always came to fight as hard as he could but it did it with great skill.

Favorite Fights: Ali-Frazier 3, in Manila. Arguello-Pryor in Miami. The first Leonard-Hearns fight back in 1981 out in Las Vegas. I also actually loved my fight with Alphonso Bailey on USA Tuesday Night Fights, it's the only one of my fights that I have watched more than a few times because there was some very good back and forth action in it.

Man you gotta be HONEST...no need quacking.

Uh, just because someone thinks Mayweather will beat Pacquiao, doesn't mean Mayweather is their favorite boxer.

I know it's hard to grasp the notion that someone might actually be a fan of boxing, and not just Mayweather or Pacquiao, but let's give it a shot, eh?

Well I kind of touched on what pac does well, I said he likes to stand trade. That's what he does well, and it has worked very well against his recent opponents. Floyd won't be standing in front of him so standing and trading won't work. Look what happened when Mosley decided not to stand and trade, pac looked confused at times and all Mosley did was stay a small step out of pacs range and circle left. Basic stuff. Pac gave Mosley plenty of openings but he was just too shot to pull the trigger.

I've been trying to think of another way for pac to beat Floyd and I just can't think of anything that he does well enough. Does pac have a plan B? What he normally does works well enough for him not to need a plan B. But if him and Floyd do fight he definitely is gonna need a plan B and a Plan C

floyds legs are gone and he will be either trading, or standing there trying to dodge pacs punches and let Pac try tire himself out missing Floyd.

Pac will find the target at some point, and Floyd will panic some point in the fight.

Id say Floyd is still quite EXCEPTIONAL at using his upper body to avoid punches and to counter off of that...
