Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[johnm is...]

The promoters cant tell the MGM how to run their business.

If you order the PPV from your room the MGM gets nothing out of it.

Shit. I hadn't even thought of it like that.

Mayweather is the better fighter

But at the elite level, the adage that "styles makes fights" becomes more significant.

Floyd has had problems with:

- southpaw (Corley, Judah)
- fast (Judah)
- awkward (maidana)
- active (maidana, Castillo)
- variety of punching ( Castillo)
- cutting off ring (cotto)
- counter punching (Judah)
- combos (maidana)
- body punching (Castillo)

Manny has all of the above except:

- great jab (Oscar)

Problem IS: Manny doesn't cut off the ring very well. Even Freddie Roach said he followed Algieri way too much. And Manny isn't much of a body puncher, he's more of a head hunter.

And you have to include the things Manny has trouble with when trying to see how this fight will turn out.
He has issues with
-Movement (Marquez, Bradley, Morales)
-Counter Punching (Marquez, Morales, Bradley)
-Body Punching (The two guys who Ko'D him early in his career)
-A straight right hand lead (You already know why)

All of these Floyd has in abundance.

Floyd has overcome everything you listed while Manny hasn't always been successful overcoming the things I listed.

Manny also drops his left hand whenever he throws a right handed punch, doesn't adjust, is imaptient in his attack and damn near bites on EVERY FEINT.

Maidana and Castillo are a lot rougher and bigger than Pacquiao. He may be active like them but it's a different kind of active from mid range compared to on the inside.
