Mayweather vs Pacquiao might be closer than you think

[puga]

pac is shorter then JMM, pac is MUCH smaller then ortiz.......mayweather would control him in the center of the ring with jabs to the body & head. pac will get discouraged & the look of defeat will be on his face. he'll look scared to jump in with his shots....mayweather waiting to counter you is a MYTH. mayweather is like the guy with little box knife........he PICKS at your head & body.....picks at it & then he starts slashing with sharp deep cuts. this is why even a tko is possible in floyds favor....it's the styles.


DO NOT GET THIS MISTAKEN. floyd will not be waiting on manny..........floyd will be picking at manny with jabs to the head & body from the start of round one.........

wtf does the bold have to do with anything...jesus chavez was way smaller than floyd and still was able to give floyd problems...big deal...floyd does not have a great jab ..when he jabs he ususallly does not follow up with anything, that is why he is known for his LEAD right hands and left hooks...like i said , i can see floyd frustrating pac with his right straight but again the question goes how many times will floyd throw it, for he is known for not throwin much....floyd cuttin pac is highly unlikely , he is just not a power puncher, he does not have a razor type of punches either...

I think you're reaching just by using the Baldomir fight. Baldomir is a non-stop pressure Boxer, Manny isn't that type of Boxer. Floyd averaged 38 punches thrown per round in that fight[458 total], 22 more punches than JMM threw against Manny. I guess we'll just have to disagree then.

baldomir is slow, robotic, fighter and still was ablke to back floyd up and able to minimize floyd's workrate.....pac is is not your typical pressure fighter where he follows you whereever you go, but he is a pressure fighter who does throw nonstop...i dont belive your stats vs baldomir...i'd love to see the stats again if you have it...

I predict pbf stopping him late AFTER punishing him in the pocket. Long and Short range belongs to PBF. Mid-range I give a slight edge to the puppet.

Many will be shocked if they fight how pbf destroys this guy in the pocket.

But we all know they will never fight becuz TR has one of the best matchmakers in the sport. So, they know!

the whole boxing world would be shocked if floyd fights pac on the pocket....a pure boxer, who is not a power puncher with minimum punch output stopping pacquaio?......shhiiittt...

Baldomir is an "In your face" type of pressure Boxer, he's always there to be hit. Manny Pacquiao uses constant in and out ambush attacks, and will only go for the kill if he hurt you enough to knock you out. Manny leaves himself open whenever he jumps in and misses with his ambush attacks[off balance and out of defensive position]. If you have good timing and throw sharp punches, then you can time his rhythm and feeds off of his mistakes[Counter-puncher].

chavez? what the **** are you yapping about. mayweather tkod chavez.....& that fight was 10 years ago. i thought we were talking about floyds last 4 fights......10 years ago Medgoen Singsurat knocked pac out. the bold points towards the reach & size disadvantage........

floyd has a great jab......he was landing it nicely against ortiz & marquez. that marquez fight was a jab fest.

also. floyd has MUCH more power then marquez........ i wouldn't be surprised if pac goes down from a quick laser counter. it's not the big lumbering blows that hurt pac it's the quick accurate lasers that hurt pac.

PAC WILL BE SCARED TO JUMP IN AGAINST MAYWEATHER BECAUSE HE'LL HAVE HIS HEAD SNAPPED BACK. pac gets discouraged, picked apart. & stopped. it's not even a hard fight.........easy win.

I don't see how it would be close, what Manny brings to the table Floyd has answers for and Manny really no answers for the advantages that Floyd possesses.

If Manny was bigger or better inside I could see him winning if he was good enough but he isn't either of those two things.


Floyd stops him on a body shot after stripping away any illusions people may have~

It really confuses me how people say Floyd will stop Pac, when Floyd dont stop anyone, yet somehow is supposed to not only beat the best fighter of the last decade at least, but stop him in savage fashion as well.
What has floyd done since his comeback to make people think he will stop Pac? Is it how he stopped SSM and bloated JMM in his last fights that make people think he will stop Pac, or maybe the powerful KO punch of Ortiz?

Englighten me, or stop trying to be funny. Khan would beat Floyd.
