Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Spoon23]

I think this is the only legitimate reason why the fight isn't happening.

And this

Even though Tyson is not the same weight class, and from a different era, Tyson smiled that devious smile as he cracked his answer. A smile which communicated what we all know, "I'd like to unleash all my best combinations on this punk and knock his cowardly ass out once and for all."

Clearly, Mike Tyson, like the rest of the world, has had his fill of Mayweather' perpetual ducking and excuses and silly juvenile games in ducking the biggest fight in the history of prizefighting against Manny Pacquiao.

There are two ways Floyd can offset that combo. One is by moving to Manny's right and throwing left hooks kinda like he did to Hatton and Zab Judah. The other way is to throw a short right hand when he sees Manny's feint as Marquez did when Ko'd Manny.

Good tactic. I know he'll try to throw the straight right hand counter over as soon as Manny starts to set it up, but he has a bad habit of backing up in a straight line and if he's not careful enough Manny will make him pay. The longer the fight goes on, the more comfortable Floyd will get at figuring out Manny's punching pattern and will eventually systematically pick him apart.


A few years ago, i thought it wouldn't be a smart idea to walk Manny down, but i've seen in some of Manny's fights how it can work. Bradley did some good work in rounds 3 and 4. He crowded Manny's range and landed his punches, but he got caught a few times when he got a bit carried away, but for the most part, he fought well behind the high guard.

Clottey had better success with that strategy, but it wasn't enough. I notice that when a strategy works for Floyd, he doesn't abandon it, he just uses other strategies as decoys to set up that strategy that works the best.This is something that guys like Bradley, Broner don't too well. They don't disguise their best offense enough.
