Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[jas]

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.

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)

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.

The rumor is that 1000 or less will be made available to the general public.

The rest will be reserved for the whales, high rollers, celebrities, etc. I guess.
