it's pacquiao's lead, it elminates alot of his openings, and when he uses it he usually gets himself into range pretty well beforehand, if he can get off with that punch and circle, he can work a combo from there
he shouldn't try to change too much about pacquiao no, he's gonna leave him confused and forgetting what he was suppossed to do, but then again pacquiao is a veteran, he'll figure out himself what he needs to doComment

I know he's a superhero and can fight any way, so fast, so strong. Manny has to get really close to Floyd to land a hook, look at how Floyd resets to high guard against southpaws. He fully utilizes his length. The only thing that is going to get Manny to where he needs to be is that left right down (or up rather) the pipe.
but like you said, it's not the punch he needs to rely on, that would be the leftComment

It began at the third Allen fight just before he hit his 40s
And continued with the Eastman, Oscar and Taylor fights
And up at LHW
Big part of it is his legs and stamina.
He can't fight going forward anymore because of his legs. He isn't athletic enough anymore to jump in. He can't dance around the ring. He tried to vs joe and gassed. Then he started dragging his feet around the ring like an old man should starting with the pavlik fight.
Mentally, where Hopkins and Floyd differ are that Hopkins thinks a lot about his opponent and his gameplan, whereas Floyd has claimed he doesn't watch tape and I believe him . Hopkins thinks about the things to the point that he overthinks . He starts seeing things that are not there.
And he is more of a chess player than Floyd. The right hand was open vs Taylor. He didn't throw it early on because he didn't want Taylor to realise he's open for it and then adjust. He waited until Taylor tired so that his onslaught would be more effective and Taylor wouldn't have time to adjust .
Floyd can rely more on his natural abilities.Comment
