Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Maxwell007]

Apparently there will be only 1000 tickets available to public for mayweather-vs-pacquiao the news about the availability of tickets will be announced in the first first official press con.

When was the last time Floyd has scored a knockdown or visibly hurt an opponent with his right cross? Floyd's opponents look like they went through a sparring session after fighting him. Meanwhile, Pac's last three opponents left the arena either injured or bruised up. Pac is a guy who specializes in beating counter punchers, he went to war with the second best counter puncher in the game FOUR times. His power was on full display against Algieri and anyone who thinks this fight is going to be easy for Floyd are only fooling themselves.

Lol @ Pac being a specialist against counter punchers because he beat Clottey.

And by the way. Counter punching is one of MANY aspects of Floyd's arsenal.

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!

Well put. It Wil most likely result in a decision. I don't think most of Manny fans will disappear just from a loss 5/2, he has lost to lesser boxers before so a loss to Floyd is not the end of the world. I don't think the same can be said for Floyd's fanbase..so much stock is dependent on his undefeated record.

I think the fact that Mayweather is taller is actually an advantage for pacquiao. He's got short straight punches, instead of big looping punches that mayweather can easily duck so I see mayweather running a lot in this fight to keep his range. Mayweather will definitely land a lot of right hands in this fight tho

This is going to be a good match, but I just see MW pulling another Marquez and point him to death.

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

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