Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Evol]

DISTANCE. It's the reason JMM beat Pac. Distance can beat superior hand speed. Floyd will have the exact correct distance to be successful.

pac is also good at that.

[Biolink]

It's not going to be Pac's offense that makes it hard for floyd to walk him down, it's going to be his feet.

Agreed. Pacquiao can move laterally on a dime and before you know it he's gone.

[DARKSEID]

I agree with that. But Pac has been a lot more flat footed in his recent fights than he was in say 2009-2010.

Did you see the Algieri fight doe?

If Pac has declined since 09, then Floyd has declined even more.

They've both declined. The fight is 5 years too late.

Nah lol they're not shot yet. They're both still Elite level Prizefighters at arguably the number 1 and number 2 spot in the world.

I'd rather get it now than not at all.

[SplitSecond]

bro, dont u get it? floyd is not just gonna walk straight forward. he's gonna apply smart pressure.

he's gonna have trouble no matter what he does with pacquiao, these guys think he'll slowly come forward and keep the distance by taking small steps back when pacquiao chooses to charge, but floyd can't keep that up, he's naturally stylistically a fairly flat-footed fighter(esspecially now), and when he's on the offensive, he rarely even takes one step back, and when in that mode he will get boxed to bits

his best bet is keeping the fight as quiet as possible and taking rounds with single digit landed punches, while majority of the time walking away from pacquiao

Never said they were

Agree with all of this but they are still past prime and the fight would have been better in 2009.

[Jab-Slip-Troll]

his best bet is keeping the fight as quiet as possible and taking rounds with single digit landed punches, while constantly walking away from pacquiao, fighting an all-round negative fight

"But no...... he gonna walk him down doh. Doesn't matter that Manny is a killer in exchanges.... he gonna walk him down.... he got weak hands and no significant KO's after 140... but he's gonna walk Manny down and KO him.....cuz Marquez KO'd him"

if this fight happened around cotto-clottey-marg, i'd pick pacquiao to stop mayweather, his out-put along with his dynamism, fearlessness(threw every punch full force) would have wrecked floyd, even if it went the distance, i would have comfortably picked pacquiao

now i know it's a close fight

Yeah but he was more wreckless. He's a much smarter fighter now.
