Comments Thread For: Tarver: Pacquiao Will Test Mayweather Like Never Before

Exactly. Speed and stamina are key, as well as a good straight left hand.

Khan lacks the stamina aspect, and chin.

This post is so ******ed.

So you're saying Khan has the speed and the straight left but lacks stamina...and a chin but according to your keys to victory a chin is not necessary right?

Gtfoh lame!

And i'm waiting for examples of why the straight left is so key?

That was more of a flash KD. He wasn't hurt from the check hook. The straight left that landed and had Floyd backing to the ropes definitely got his attention, but he wasn't hurt from that shot either.

It's a fair assessment from Tarver.

I like reading these comments where everyone is saying how Manny will trouble Floyd without giving a shred of thought as to how Floyd would trouble Manny. It's interesting, to say the least.

Did I say Floyd was hurt? No. He went down though, his glove touched the canvas.

Floyds jab will give Manny problems, straight right hand catching Manny coming in.

But Floyd would give up rounds. He will lay on the ropes and Manny will beat him like CalSlappy did Jones.

Floyd went down from a Judah left hand.

It's not Pacquiaos power, it's his speed. He is faster than Floyd.

It was a Judah right hook actually and it was more balance than anything.

I think a Judah/Pacquiao comparison is silly. Both are fast and are lefties? I guess. Whitaker and Pacquiao are both fast lefties and they fight nothing alike. We need to analyze a little deeper than that methinks.

I like Tarver's assessment and I don't think he's far off at all. Pacquiao is fast, powerful, crafty and has experience in big fights. He is Mayweather's biggest test. I think this fight looks a lot like Pacquiao-Morales I, which was a very underrated scrap. I watched that again recently and suggest everyone do the same. Very telling bout. Maybe Floyd wins a wider decision but it'll be interesting to see how he counters Pacquiao's bursts of punches, if he can at all.

floyds defense is meant for an orthodox fighter. That shoulder roll is meant for a righty. Pac will come in all sorts of angels.

No he specifically said a straight left hand. I want to know why?

pacquiao can't make floyd miss.he's just a one dimensional fighter looking good against low skilled nobodies and the bradley paid off to lose toprank scam. when this fight happens. floyd mayweather jr is going to show his ass off in front of the world.guaranteed.

Was it a right hook? Been a while since I've seen that fight.


Floyds far too inactive now. He's going to need to really fight Manny, 3 punches a round won't work.

You're a ******.

Yes by the letter of the law it was a kd but he clearly wasn't hurt. I thought Tarver was referring to the left he landed in round 4 but again he wasn't hurt.

I agree his speed is more of an issue than the power but whether he's faster i don't know, they have different types of speed.

I would say Mayweather is slightly faster throwing one punch.

Pacquiao is quicker when it comes to move and throw combinations.

Floyd will beat down the Pacman. Write it down.

Yep it was a right hook.

And Floyd isn't inactive at all. Not sure where that comes from. Is he as active as he was in the past? No. But inactive? You're overstating it. Anyway, Pacquiao's activity has dropped off too. Happens with age but both throw enough.
