Manny always willing to get hit to land his shots. It's unfortunate he run into that straight right from the beast Marquez. Like I said, Floyd will land those straight right on Manny's face. The question is how he will react when Manny land his shots to his face.

Last 3 fights, Manny shows some good foot works, he shows that he can box. But box against Floyd will be his downfall. If he do what he said he'll do when he fight Floyd then he have a better chance of winning that bout.

The video is showing Pacquiao's flaws, the things he does in every fight when attacking. Forget that it's Marquez.

On his last three fights, did Manny uses angles and footworks to get close and shoots his left? You think that because Marquez was able to time him that Floyd will do exactly what Marquez did? They fought 4 times, of course he knows what exactly Manny flaws. You think in one fight Floyd will Figure out Manny's style? It's easy to say yes Manny is susceptible to this and that, how come only Marquez solves Manny's riddles? 4 freaking times, that's 42 rounds total.

Marquez goes through hell to get his shots in vs Manny. He was almost knocked out himself before he landed that bomb.

Floyd isn't willing to do that. He's low risk.

Its not comparable at all.

Easier said then done. Plus that guy in that video is a straight clown. Anyone can slow down and take vulnerable moments of a fighters career in the ring and talk about how they are beatable because they've been hit and "look" vulnerable. You wanna talk about how to beat Floyd? Maidana the snail showed us how by countering Floyd's signature weapon, the pull counter right hand. Unless Floyd somehow makes Pac succumb to his pace and distance then this is all Floyds. But I don't see that happening, and as soon as Pac starts to connect Floyd will cover up and be a sitting duck. Not sure what happens from there but I think Pac's tenacity and killer instinct will be too much in this fight.

How many counter punchers has Pacquiao fought? How many with the ability of Mayweather? Counter punchers see flaws like Pacquiao's because that's what they've been doing their entire career. He'll watch Pacquiao's fights and have him figured out before he even steps in the ring. He might have problems with Pacquiao's speed for the first couple of rounds but once he adapts and gets his timing Pacquiao is going to outclassed.

already making excuses.

So that is a yes, Floyd should be allowed to cheat.

I wonder if he put that in the contract.

There'll be no next to no hugging in this fight. It will be fought at mid range.

Easier said than done. Like I said, if its that easy for Floyd to beat him, how come he didn't do it long time ago? Why the hesitations? 42 total rounds, that's how many rounds before Marquez finally won against Manny. I know Floyd is a great fighter a risk taker on his younger years. But those days are over, he's content on pot shots, clinch, shoot his one-twos, straight left down the gut, then move around.

Marquez was the only real counter puncher that Manny fought, and for that I think it'll benefit PAC tremendously since he fought a counter puncher for 42 rounds. Difference is Marquez doesn't cover up when get hit, he fight fire with fire. I don't know about May though.

Don't pretend that Maidana and Cotto landed flush to Floyds face. We will see a great and very tactical close fight.

Can't beat a fighter like Mayweather with one hand.......if a jab isn't part of his gameplan, he loses.

Doesn't have to be a great jab. He doesn't even have to throw it too often. But he does need to use it to take away one of Mayweather's best strenghts, the ability to control space. Manny throws high volumes of punches. But for them to reach the target, he will have to box a little using the jab enough that eventually he can feint it and get inside without being countered.........

Ah...........what's the use of arguing with Pac fans........to them Floyd is a horrible fighter and 'scared'........even though his last loss was in the Atlanta Olympics and an outright robbery........(ref raised Mayweather's hand he was so sure he'd won).......

In 1996, Manny was also having trouble.......a gut shot from Torrecampo resulting in a KO.....

You just don't get it do you

And Pacquiao superior footwork will allow him to control the space. And the jab will just be there to neutralise Floyds jab, and sneak a right hook in every now and again and 45 Floyd.

How much are you willing to bet on that statement of yours? No hugging? You just took away one of Floyd's great assets fighting a whirlwind like Manny.
