Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Has To Be Perfect To Beat Mayweather

[texasboi15]

It's Mayweather who has to be perfect. Every little flurry Pac throws, whether it lands or not, will draw a huge reaction from the crowd. Manny's star power will win him the close rounds. Floyd loses to Pacquiao same way Hagler lost to Leonard.

Unless Floyd is perfect.

i disagree.

pac has to make it wild and ugly.

throw as much as possible. try to make it a brawl. make it a war of attrition. fight at fast pace.

you try to be "perfect". try to box floyd, floyd will school him.

a boxing chess match is floyd's game.

If Maidana had the star power of Pacquiao he wins the first fight with Floyd.

v 12, 2011 - Stats. According to CompuBox, Pacquiao threw more shots (578) than Marquez ( 435) and connected*...

Pacquiao landed 281 of 790 (36%), Rios was 138 of 502 (27%), according to @ CompuBox #boxing #*...

Nov 23, 2014 - CompuBox -- Pacquiao 229 of 669 total punches; Algieri 108 of 469.

Pacquiao-Bradley 1. In that duel, Bradley was also the busier fighter, throwing 627 punches and connecting on 141 for a 22 percent rate.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, was also more accurate in landing 198 of 563 punches for a 25 percent connect rate. Though he appeared to dominate Bradley that night two years ago, he lost to Bradley in controversial fashion.

So where is this 100 punches a round guy u speaking of

your wrong roach, only the pac-tards know how to beat floyd. whatever they say is what will happen. ONLY the pac-tards know boxing.

This will be a good guy/bad guy fight. If the fight is close, Pacquiao will get the nod. Mayweather has to dominate, leaving no doubt, to get a decision win over Pacquiao.

you didn't read the article, he didn't go into detail but it's safe to say his meaning of "perfect" is a mean, aggressive pacquiao

and pacquiao isn't gonna brawl as he is now, he is way past that, and being wild will get him nowhere but off balance and unable to fire a combination, nor is making it ugly something in his repetoire

pacquiao's chances have declined from his prime where he wouldn't give a sht about floyds counters and would walk right through him

but he still has a chance taking the fight to mayweather like he did vs bradley in the second fight, use his legs to get close to floyd and keep his hands moving, pacquiao's own counter-punching skills will keep floyd tentative

what i dont like about the new pacquiao is his right hook has disappeared again, it would work great against floyd's lead rights to the body

This I agree. Pac has to let Floyd feel his power early.. Once Floyd does he will resort to back pedaling. Pac will be the aggressor all night and might even win the rounds cause of it..

Floyd wont go toe to toe like he did with Cotto and especially not with Pac..

The fight will be all about Pac chasing Floyd all night

We all cried bloody murder that night!

I think the circumstances will be different because of the magnitude of the fight and majority of the public's general dislike for Floyd, which will magnify Manny's chances of winning.
