Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Breaks Down Mayweather/Pacquiao Power

[mike1010011]

Pacquiao will NOT land anything flush the whole fight. Book it. Answer me this, if He cant land the left hand, what else can he do? Hes a one handed fighter. Jab is not a factor since he has none. Manny cant adjust midway through a fight, the same punch that hits him in round 1 will hit him in round 12. Mannys gift is the explosiveness. Floyds defense is too air tight, hes too discipline, boxing IQ too high, under no scenario do I see Pacquiao winning. He only has a punchers chance just like everybody else. Floyds accuracy and timing is sick, and nobody can really argue Mannys defense is grade A trash. Hes constantly reaching, always tripping over his own feet, off balance after a combination, they say styles makes fights, well Manny is tailored made for a Mayweather boxing clinic.

Didn't Pacquiao drop hatton the first time with his right hand...?

I have always said that floyds power is very underrated. He's just not a volume puncher. What amazes me the most is how Manny carried his power up to WW. I would love for pac to go down to Jr ww, and clean out the divison. You got Danny g. Broner, mathysse, peterson, provodnikov. I think we would see the best of pac at that weight.

Yes he did, before he was with Freddie roach he was a left handed fighter and still destroying people, he is known for having power in both hands idk what that guy was talking about, I would also like to add de la Hoya has said many times that pacquio was the hardest opponent he ever faced

You are right he is a very small welterweight which makes his feats that much more impressive. He would be unstoppable at 140. Also if Manny doesn't respect your punching power you are in trouble. Manny will lay in the ropes and let his opponents hit him with body shots and if he doesn't respect it he will throw caution to the win a little more like he did with algieri and start unleashing his furious combos. That's why he had a hard time in Marquez 3, because Marquez is a ko artist and he knew he had to keep his guard up more. I still feel he won that fight though simply by the agrgresion although the rounds were almost dead even I gave that to Manny because of the aggression although I could see how people thought Marquez won, but Manny landed more

But Pac on PEDs during that time.

Floyds win over Oscar was more impressive considering the circumstances. At 154 with Oscar coming off the brutal KO of Mayorga. Pacquiao beat a half dead looking Oscar who looked terrible vs Stevie Forbes in the previous fight, his facial bones were exposed, thats how drained he was.

And the fact that Pacquiao NEEDS to land the perfect punch is why Arum doesnt want the fight to happen. Manny will NOT land anything flush. Floyd takes away his opponents strenghts. Oscar couldnt land one left hook on him until the last ten seconds of round 12. Shane never landed a right hand after round 2. And Maidanas looping right hand never found its target. Whatever your signature punch is, Floyd will take it away from you. Pacquiao is really a one handed fighter, his straight left is what fighters lookout for. He has no jab whatsoever.

Floyd tramples Pacquiao in lopsided fashion.

So Floyd pulled everyone's leg when he demanded the PEDs test.

Hitting some regularly is going to mark them up even Malignaggi achieved a TKO against Senchenko.
