Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[joseph5620]

Yeah he looked very different after he got clipped in the third. Accuracy off, unable to maintain control of the center of the ring. Interesting stuff. But somehow he found a way to win and by the latter rounds was starting to put it on Maidana. Pacquiao is no Maidana. Getting clipped like that against him might mean defeat. But I wonder if Manny can handle straight rights from a strong, legit welter that are sure to land.

That's what makes this fight so intriguing. I have big question marks for Pacquiao as well. How will he deal with the reach disadvantage? He's always looked vulnerable against a skilled counter puncher. Mayweather will bring that and more than Marquez, Bradley, Rios, or Algieri.

There are question marks for both that will be answered on May 2nd.

I'll say it now and I'll say it again. DISTANCE. Distance will be the key. Whoever controls the distance controls the fight. Manny is wayyyyyyyyy faster than JMM but the reason JMM could see his punchers and counter is because he stayed just far enough away to avoid those punches. Plus he kept feinting over and over and over and over again making Manny impatient.

Picks for Floyd: Sugar Ray Leonard, Kieth Thurman, Chris Algieri, Pauli Malignaggi, Marquez

Picks for Poochiao: A dog

For the Oscar fight it was the same. The dog was right the rest were all wrong!

I agree that with distance Mayweather has major advantages. Using those advantages for twelve rounds against a fighter like Manny Pacquiao will be the challenge.

Floyd- "I'm going back to basics."

In that interview- "I'm not changing anything."

Bruise under Manny's right eye. Looks like he's getting beat up by Rigondeaux in sparring.

Mayweather better make weight. Pacquiao shouldn't accept extra money if he doesn't. We've seen that trick before!
