Comments Thread For: Video: Roger Mayweather Discusses Manny Pacquiao Fight

[sleazyfellow]

The interviewer says it's happening in may? No official word on it yet though, even if announced its not something I'm clamoring for....just like when mayweather fought cotto, I wanted it many years before.

Just like a 38 year old Marquez did against a younger (Pre devastating knockout) Pacquiao in their 3rd fight? Clottey walked towards Manny and Floyd doesn't fight that way. Floyd will fight Manny in a broken rhythm and that's how he'll avoid the straight left.

He'll have trouble adjusting at first but after a few rounds its game over for Manny

What are you talking about? Marquez has NEVER been able to consistently avoid Manny's straight left.

He was lucky there was no 3 KD rule otherwise their storied rivalry would've been over in 1 round.





That's what? 4 KDs from a straight left alone? Even in the 1 fight Marquez won, he still hit the canvas from a straight left and his face was being rearranged to the point Nancho wanted to stop the fight:



But yeah, everything else you said was true

All these analysis on how easy it is for Floyd to "walk down" Manny, "school manny" Yadi-yada. None of you been in there with Manny inside the ring. How many of you seen him fight live in a close proximity? If it's so easy to beat Manny, or some of you calling him midget, why the hesitation on fighting Manny? Why it took this long and some pressure from CBS head honcho for him to finally agreed and signed the damn contract? (yes, reports from Dan, lance and other boxing reporters tweeted it) he know deep inside that it's not gonna be easy to beat Manny. He have that doubts hence the ducking.

It's ok, those are the things that play out in your imaginations so be it. But after the fight I don't wanna hear no excuses. May fight the wrong fight doe, May didn't train hard for these fight though, the judges robbed him doe. I will give May his due respect if he wins, and I expect you do the same with Manny.

The fight is on, we are just waiting for May to announce it, supposedly today but idk what is he waiting for. I hope he's not having a cold feet and just walk away from it after he signed the contract. Fingers cross.

Again. Slooowww. You brought up Foyd's age being 38 years old as if that'll mean he'll have trouble avoiding Pacs punch and I brought up that Marquez was that exact age in Pac Marquez 3 and he wasn't dropped once in that fight and partially tripped in the fourth fight.

Marquez was nowhere near Floyd in terms of defense at any point in his career and he was able to make Manny miss. Floyd will certainly do the same. You also have to consider that Pac has slowed down noticeably too. he's not even the same guy of three years ago.

Man I can't wait to bump this thread when Manny destroys Mayweather. Manny will outwork Floyd and possibly drop him 1-2 times. Manny wide UD

Bodes well for PAC

Roach won't underestimate mayweather

Floyd sr and roger will underestimate pac

[Imatroll]

I like Manny the underdog. The guy gets really motivated to win and what bigger motivation than Mayweather? On top of that being the under-dog and proving everyone wrong? We will see Beast-mode Manny in there. May God help Floyd.

What this flowmos don't get is Pac's straight left is so lethal that even if his opponents gloves is covering their face. Pac's straight left still goes in between those guarded gloves. It's like the parting of the Red Sea it just opens up then boom your hit flushed.

Floyd will eat pac's straight left all night.

But to be fair, Pac will eat straight rights too. But pac's straight left is more lethal though. That said Pac wins in a close, exciting fight.

[Spoon23]

Now I know you dudes are drunk on that Floyd kool aid.

That little theory was already put to the test. Cotto threw his jab first at Manny, Manny countered with his straight left. Now you tell me which got to point B faster:



And that straight left is FAR more damaging than any orthodox fighters' jab and it was looking lethal against a tall rangy fighter in Algieri in Pac's most recent fights. Only way that straight left doesn't find a home on Floyd's face is if May pulls a Clottey.

Boom! That left is a beauty! Better bring your a game Floyd. This will be a long night for you.

Floyd is going to walk through Manny and there's nothing you can do or say about it. Manny is not strong enough to challenge Floyd physically and he's not technically sound enough to outbox him either. It's a tremendous match up for Floyd and he is going to make Manny Pacquiao look like Bobby Pacquiao.

Floyd isn't walking through Manny. Pac is not Hatton, he has a speed advantage, he's a southpaw (we all know Floyd has always had problems with them) and punches from weird, unorthodox angels.

floyd jr has seen every style. he sees what the opponent wants to do. then takes it away from them and scores at the sametime. pacquiao has never seen or been in there with anybody near mayweather's style. floyd's going to walk the midget down. and lay the leather on that ass.

No, Floyd hasn't seen every style, just like Pac hasn't. They both will be facing something new, something extraordinary. Neither man is easy to categorize.

My point is, there's no clear favourite in this fight. It will be a pick'em fight. At this point of their respective careers, they both can be beaten (Pac already has been).

Stop with this fan boy ****.
