Manny was always all wrong for Floyd

[DeadLikeMe]

Why do people think Manny fights ANYTHING like Maidana? Lol they don't fight similar whatsoever. So I really don't get where this is coming from.

You can't compare two orthodox counterpunchers in JMM and Floyd, but a southpaw boxer puncher and an orthodox brawler in Pac and Maidana have many similarities according to NSB.

Not disagreeing with you but the shots Maidana was able to land puts a clearer picture that Pac being more accurate and a combination puncher could/would pose problems for Floyd.

It's no different to people comparing JMMs style with Floyds to justify Floyd beating Pac..they fight nothing alike where the only similarity is JMM can counter punch well against Pac.

This didn't have anything to do with the fight the other night styles wise. Just got to thinking today at work that's all.

LMAO at Floyd counter punching skills is overrated. He counter punches by one punch one at time then reset. He will never win like that against a fast more accurate combination puncher like Pac because he either can block that one punch or slip and return 4-8 punches combination of his own while health comes first in shell mode. By the time he got enough Pac with his fast footwork is nowhere there to be hit but in awkward position ready to repeat the onslaught.

With his health comes first mentality no wonder he never counter punched in combination stood on his ground willing to get hit in returm even if he was cornered on the ropes. He is more corcerned of not getting hit than return the favor. Pac throws fast combination and Marquez neutralizes Pac by counter punching in combination. He is willing to get hit in the process so he can land his own. That is why their fights were always close.

Look at the way Marquez counter punched Pac and Floyd counter punched Maidana. Big difference! Now insert Pac with Cleto Reyes gloves instead of Maidana last Saturday night against pillow gloved Floyd.

LOL Manny would shut Floyd down. Wide UD.

[Fangedgrowl]

Clearly you are a floyd nutt hugger. Floyd's not dirty too. You must not be wtching the holding and hitting , the forearm and elbow across throat and face. Seriously dude if you think floyd won clearly you don't know **** about boxing.

Not my fault some user name Liu Kang decided to bust my balls and neg me with his 2000+ rep.



First of all Pacquaio will not get past Maidana jab and Maidana's head movement. Maidana body punches will crumble Pacquaio and we know Pacquaio can not take body shots. Pacquaio is also very susceptible to the overhand right and jab to the body as Marquez set it up ad Bradley hit him with uppercuts . They were both slow telegraphed punchers and Maidana is much more faster, hit harder and come with punches from all angles. He also can fight backwards. Maidana has the tools to beat Pacquaio and I hope PAC don't sign with Arum so this fight can possibly happen.

all of a sudden Maidana's a top p4p fighter.

So what is special fighting skills Maidana did tonight against Floyd other than punched him on the ropes to the head in body?

Pacquiao is faster, more accurate, and could last 12 rounds with 80-100 punches per round. But he will not rehydrate to 165 lbs just like Maidana did. And he would definitely not rough Mayweather up. Having said that, would he beat Mayweather? I say it will be as close but Pacquiao will get the majority decision

But if Pacquiao fights Maidana... it would not even be close. Pacquiao is an under rated defensive fighter. He could see those wild throws a mile away just like in the second Bradley fight. And imagine those straight right that Mayweather was able to connect but this time with Pacquiao's power. Maidane will always have a puncher's chance though

[FrankieClutch]

The same way Floyd is all wrong for him. Defense, counter-punching, movement, accuracy and a solid chin.

And this is why the fight should've been made in 09/10. They both have the styles to give each other fits. The fight would've been amazing
