Comments Thread For: Arum More Confident Now of Pacquiao Beating Mayweather

[JrX]

Pacs only chance is punches in bunches and i dont kno if he still has the stamina for it. He looked gassed a couple times against bradley. Mayweathers too long and big, i just dont c manny getting the left in enough but we'll c.

Like all of Floyd's opponents PACs work rate will be diminished.

People do not realize this. Not only do work rates drop, but accuracy significantly drops. Pac will tire out like a dog that's been running around with no water, once Floyd see that tongue hanging a little, he's going to pound that gut, until Pacquiao feet is gone, then he going to slow walk him to a concussion. This fight is going to be easy work because Pacquiao is pretty much

Southpaw stance will be troublesome for Floyd and his counters.

Troublesome for only 4 rds. Facts are right handed fighters have caused Mayweather more problems than South Paws.

[GRUSTLER]

You really think that is what happened?

Watch the fight again, I'm not explaining it to you

I know you guys are trying to hype Manny up and that's cool but to try to put Judah as an example that Floyd has problems with lefties is ridiculous considering Judah only won 4rds. Not to mention that he started getting stalked and walked down and found a way out by hitting Floyd in the nuts. Judah was on his way to getting stopped.

[GRUSTLER]

Judah lost steam...he had no stamina to keep up for 12 rounds.

Mayweather snatched his will after 4rds. Stop with the excuses.

Maybe you are right with Oscar but Pac was the favourite going in to his fights with Hatton and Cotto, there would be people who thinks Cotto or Hatton would beat Pac but majority had Pac... So your 90% ish is wayyyyy off.

There is only one big mistake you made that cost you your whole post.

I said back in the day when Pac was fighting Morales.

Reading without proper comprehension is like not reading at all.

Way off you say!

Had Roger not choke Judah, Judah would not be gassing out at the later stage of the fight

Had the commission disqualified Floyd's team for climbing up in the ring and choking Judah, Judah would have won.

Oh man.... sorry to insult you but this sounds ******. Roger didn't even get his hands on Judah not to mention before Roger jumped in the ring Judah hit Floyd in the nuts and then in the back of the head because he was on his way to getting stopped. I think the reason Floyd didn't get disqualified is because he stayed calm in a neutral corner. Pacquiao's fans love to make examples of how Floyd has had problems in the past but Floyd also won the fights against south paws. Manny has had the toughest challenge and biggest knock out loss come at the hands of a counter puncher (JMM) so I would say Floyd style is more problematic for Pacquiao than Manny south paw stance for Mayweather.

[GRUSTLER]

Mayweather has been fighting naturally bigger opponents at 147 and 154. Manny will not be physically capable of pushing Mayweather around. Manny doesn't even use his body as a tool in the ring. The fight will be like Mayweather vs that Chavez kid back in Floyd's early days. Floyd is going to look bigger and stronger and really all Pacquiao has is speed over Floyd but not even by much. Some will argue that they are equal on those terms. Mayweather's foot work and adjusting is better than Manny's. Every time Manny lets his hands go he will get countered. Bob should of had Manny fight the guys at 147 instead of moving guys up. Fights like Rios and Algieri should have never happened.

[GRUSTLER]

He is a southpaw that caused Floyd problems.

Caused Floyd problems but didn't win. I can't name one south paw who won more than 4rds not to mention beat him but can name a counter puncher who arguable won fights he lost and has troubled Pacquiao throughout 3 weight classes and knocked Pacquiao out cold.

[GRUSTLER]

I have stepped in a ring actually.

If Manny wasn't a cerebral fighter, he would not be able to stick to game plans or adapt his style.

He has continuously done so.

I could write I rough game plan on how Pacquiao should fight, and a plan b and c.

Manny can fight them all, because he has done so in the past. Obviously there a few traps to set just for Floyd.

If Manny was so good at adapting to plans and coming up with strategies then he would have figured Marquez out like Marquez did to him. Marquez figured out and timed Pacquiao with a perfect counter punch then I'm banking on Floyd doing the same.
