Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[The Big Dunn]

So, basically.... PAC vs. Rios.


Floyd's going to be just a tad bit different.

read this is the Stephen A. voice.

Floyd is just a tad bit different than RIIIIOS, you are SOOO DISS REEE SPECTFULL!

[Divine Hammer]

I dont understand how this poll...

How can anyone really expect pac to tko or ko mayweather?

I'm a huge pac fan and all..but if pac has any chance of winning... its purely by UD or SD surely

i can definitely see pac winning by stoppage. i think either by tko or rtd. floyd is all about that health, right? so what happens if he starts eating hard quick punches from pac and his nose and mouth fill with blood? if floyd's nose is broken from a straight left and he is dropped (which isn't out of the question imo) and badly bruised do you think he will have the mental fortitude to keep fighting on? again remember he is 38 years old now and has talked a lot about leaving the sport with his mind and body intact.

pac on the other hand has been through fire many many times and has shown to fight on no matter what and go out swinging if need be.

why is it when people post video of pac exploding on a punching bag there are always a dunce or two who has to say "well a punching bag doesn't hit back!!". well DUH!!!! it's just meant to show how great of a shape he is in and that's it. and pac is in incredible shape so far.

quick lightning hand speed? check
explosive combination punching? check
high intensity? check
quick foot movement/speed and angles? check
etc. etc.

and it's not even april yet!! deal with it.

it was a dumb joke.

I'd like to see Floyd constantly throws the straight right to the body against, Manny. That punch can nullify Manny's aggression and stamina. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Floyd operates better against southpaws when he uses his lead hand/left hand to set up power punches, coming forward, and controlling the distance and pace.

The lead straight right hand upstairs is the only punch that he doesn't need to use his lead hand to set it up because it's not a punch that he telegraphs and he disguises it behind feints, but he sometimes like to just lead with the straight right hand downstairs against southpaws and that can be dangerous to do against a fast southpaw who can counter-punch like, Manny. This was how Judah caught Floyd with the right hook that technically knocked him down.

Floyd did managed to landed the lead straight right hand downstairs, but Judah still caught him with the right hook. Imagine if Floyd had used his lead hand to occupied Judah's right hand or to momentarily blind Judah's frontal vision before he threw that straight right downstairs, he would've been able to landed that punch without getting counter the way he got countered. Sometimes all you need is that split second window to get a punch off and the lead hand can be used as a decoy to set that punch and it's quite an efficient tactic that Floyd likes to use, but sometimes abandoned even it when it works well for him.

I know it's terrible comparison and that Manny is in a whole different galaxy compared him, but watch Floyd's 9th pro fight against the southpaw Jesus Chavez. As I said, he's not in Manny's league, but some of those tactics that were used against him can to work against, Manny. Round 4 of the fight was a great display of how fluidly Floyd can set his power punches when he chooses to use his lead hand to control the fight.

Am I the only one that thinks Floyd is looking faster than Manny... Manny is looking SLOWWW on the heavy bag... I mean, wtf... Check out his older heavy bag video where he looked like lightning... I hope this is all smoke and mirrors on Manny's part and not an indication of where his speed is at.

[bigjavi973]

Maybe because he hasn't stopped anyone in over five years and hasn't stopped anyone at the full 147 ever.

Floyd has been hurt by judah, mosley and corley. You think pacquiao can't hurt him?

Also... out of those opponents that pacquiao didn't stop ( you know the ko drought that ya talk about) name one, besides plasterito, that has been "stopped" in their careers?

[TheRoger]

pacquaio knows Floyd cant hurt him so he is going to rush in and pummel. Floyd will try and run but many will force him against the ropes. He will try and slip puches and weave but will eventually weave straight into one of mannys short lefts and down he goes.
