Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[IR0NFIST]

"Pacquaio is a guy that specialises in beating counter punchers"

Well that's something I thought I'd never hear but this is NSB.

How many times did he wobble and knockdown Marquez? How about Morales? Clottey? Bradley out countered Marquez and Pac made him a human pinball, don't get me started on his win over fleet footed Algieri. All of the aforementioned are counter punchers.

You were saying?

Happy 38th Birthday FLoyd!

He's 38? I thought he is 11.

None of those mentioned are good counter punchers other than Marquez.

Morales is the only one that'so a decent counter puncher.

The only good counter puncher he's fought is Marquez and he arguably lost 4 out of 4. At the very last struggled in all 4.

So, no, not quite a master against counter punchers

Floyd said PAC is not versatile

In reality, This is not true at all

I'm beginning to sway back to pacs favour based on activity and throwing, not really landing clean

But Floyd shelling up and giving away too many early rounds

Controversial decision for pac

Vegas judges are notorious for favouring come forward agressive fighter who throws more punches

If that were true nearly every guy who's ever fought Floyd would have a win over him

It's crazy to me how either fan base could claim the fight to be a walk in the park for their fighter. Honestly, that's the furthest thing from reality and we will soon see it with our own eyes. Even though the "whoa" factor of the fight died a long time ago for me, it's good to see these two greats finally facing off... Although they are damn near grandpas at this stage.

Pacquiao has a lot of good things for him on this fight. His stance is one that has given Floyd tons of trouble in past bouts, his workrate is unlike anything Floyd has ever faced and his speed and angles are not only awkward but they veil Manny with an unpredictable aura... Something a cerebral counterpuncher who relies on accuracy and superb timing would not find too amusing to deal with.

Floyd on the other hand can capitalize off of Manny's mistakes and actually hurt Pacquiao with a well timed and precise right hand on the smaller southpaw(once he manages to time him), especially if Manny is caught lunging in. Floyd also has a better inside game and great defensive skills that could frustrate the smaller southpaw into a disadvantageous predicament. Aside from defense and general skill two of Floyd's most underrated attributes are his extremely strong chin/recovery and power. He may not have had a ko in many years but he man has enough power to keep bigger men off of him for 12 rounds and strong enough to secure victories. His chin is something else... Seriously. He has been buzzed and hurt but his recovery is also great, those may be two key elements Pacquiao and his legion of fans may be overlooking.

I have no idea who would win but I just can't see it being an easy fight for either side. Truth of the matter is we have two amazing talents at the tailend of their career putting a lot more than their records at stake, this is about legacy. Although I throw up every time I read Flowmos and *******s posts I can't deny the fact that these two men are amazing talents and we are extremely fortunate to have them in the sport. Both men display the amazing aspects of boxing, although they are on polar opposite sides of he spectrum.

Can't wait till May 2nd! Not for the fight but for the aftermath I'm excited to see one legion of morons finally dissipate cheers, enjoy!

Floyd should get Zab, Erol Spence & Rigo(highly doubtful) or even Kendall Holt as sparring partners all fast southpaws with great straight lefts. Most Mayweather opponents get Karl Dargan & Steve Forbes.

Corley trains out there now. He will probably be one of them.
