Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[pseudoware]

Losing wouldn't hurt Pacquiao's legacy too much at all. It's pretty set, and he's the underdog, expected to lose by most "experts". Clearly, there's more at stake for Floyd. Everything he's tried to build himself up on, the "zero" could be gone.

This kind of pressure, and lack of it in Pac's case, can have a significant impact on each fighter's approach and ability to execute their game plans.

Not making a prediction, just saying. I think Pac's gonna take more risks than he has since the Marquez KO. How Floyd responds is just one aspect of this fight that is so compelling. There are many others, but going in, the pressure is on Floyd in this fight. We'll see if and how that manifests once the bell rings.

Can't believe you don't cover boxing for the wall street journal or the ny times.

I think you are on a roll tonight starting with the post about the guy being an "analyst". I got some laughs.

How is this any different to any one of Floyd's previous fights? he is always the overwhelming favorite, and the pressure helps him rise to the occasion. I thought this was well understood by now

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SIZES UP MANNY PACQUIAO AND TALKS MAY 2 SHOWDOWN: "THIS IS A DIFFERENT LEAGUE"



^ Mayweather talking about the fight.

Who's bright idea was it to regulate one of the biggest fights in History to a Mega Thread, that all the information is just mashed together and lost.

This place is beyond dumb now. First video I see of Floyd really breaking down the fight, and people cant make a thread about it.

LA Times don't know their Mayweathers from their Bradleys

Pacquiao will win this with footwork alone.

Floyd's defense will be exposed. It's effective against slow plodders and only if Floyd uses his legs.

Floyd's legs are shot. This is going to be a one sided UD for Pac

well well well ..... it's finally here, mayweather, tmt, tbe, pretty boy floyd, money may, cinco de mayweather.... the greatest american boxer of this millennium, of this century and of this decade will take pacman to the highest degree of the american school of boxing and suffocate him with skill, IQ, and legendary tactics.... it's not just the defense, it's not just the shoulder roll, or the counters that'll do it, it'll be, in my humble opinion, the versatility of Floyd, the ability to hide his intentions, lead his opponent to fight the way floyd wants them to fight, in order to force his opponents to do certain things the moments they're suppose to be done on floyd's terms inside the ring, floyd doesn't just dictate what goes on outside the ring but he'll dictate what goes on inside the ring, floyd will walk down pac in certain moments of the fight, the way he walked down canelo and everybody else, even if pac has some success it's all fine and dandy, floyd will adjust and catch pacman's azz slippin on the job and ****! ****! shots fired! man down! MAYday! MAYday! man down!!!! "he's not getting up Jim!" Pacquiao down and counted out!

I would love to see Floyd try to walk down Manny. Hahahaha can't wait for this fight to get started.
