Not so much. Infact, that favors Floyd's pace of a fight. That allows Floyd to get comfortable and find his rhythm.
I always felt the 2009 version of Pacquiao has the best shot, if not does, at beating Floyd.
2009 to 2010 Pacquio beats Floyd but the shoulder roll won't work on a moving Pacquiao the shoulder roll works on guys who just stand there that's why Floyd fights Mexican with no lateral movement
Cotto cuts off the ring well and he's got a nice stiff jab, Pacquiao doesn't have those attributes, it's ridiculous that people even go there.
That's just it though, if Pac doesn't chase and chooses to "box", who is to say that Pac will have to cut off the ring? All I am saying is that if Cotto and Mosely were able to buzz Floyd, I don't see why Pac can't.
This was the same Pacquiao, he just wasn't as aggressive as usual but it was very clear that Rios was a tailor made opponent.
Pacquiao will always beat come forward fighters while looking good in the process, but he'll struggle against smart counter punchers like Marquez or Floyd.
People who say "you can't box with floyd" are wrong. In fact, the only chance you've got with Floyd is boxing. Look at what Zab Judah did. They think that Floyd is some superhuman or something. They must think that there's a 1200+ punching Jose Luis Castillo with a great chin and hand speed and power. It's a flawed idea.
Oh you mean when Floyd was analyzing Judah and once he did he dominated Judah so badly he ***dah hit him in the crotch and went into complete meltdown mode?
Sure guy
as he analyzed Judah, he got dropped. Manny would finish him.
It needs to be a combo of the two thinking when necessary and opening up on him when the opportunity presents itself..kinda of like what cotto did but a better natural athlete
