Comments Thread For: Chambers: Mayweather's Power Will Shock Pacquiao

[Str8 Right]

You have no idea what is going to actually going to happen on May 2nd. Pacquiao does sometimes back away when hit with a good shot (Morales, Marquez). And he doesn't fight well backing up. Floyd is going to be the hardest puncher at welterweight Manny as fought in four years.

Anything can happen

Really..Floyd hits harder than marquez? That's laughable. And even as a Jr ww, I doubt Floyd hits harder than rios. So no, that's false sir.

Floyd is accurate and has what I would call average punching power for a guy his size and weight, its the quickness of the punches that surprise and stun his opponents. Not the power behind them.

For Floyd to have success he will definitely have to increase his punch output. Over the past few years Floyd has turned into a 1 and done puncher. Granted he is accurate with that 1 punch but its going to take more than 1 punch at a time to beat Pacquiao. When is the last time Floyd has even thrown a combo in a fight?

Seriously? He doesn't do it a lot, but he certainly does throw combinations in every fight.

I agree with chambers. I think a lot of pac fans and even roach are underestimating floyds power. I think just like pac, floyds power comes from his speed. Only difference is that Manny throws in bunches and Floyd throws no more than two at a time. I could see Floyd landing the same punch that marquez knocked pac out with, but I don't think it will have the same effect. He just doesn't have that kind of power, but enough to get respect even from bigger dudes. If Floyd can land that same punch repeatedly, and land serious body shots early then pac is is trouble in the later rounds.

I may be mistaken but I cant recall the last time I've seen Floyd unleash a multi punch combo in a fight.

Floyd has power, he simply doesn't throw enough punches to pile on damage. Look at how few times he hit Cotto and he still hurt him.

He was able to hurt Robert Guerrero with just three hooks. He nearly stopped Shane to and backed him up several times. He has power, he was also able to push back Canelo several times to give himself space.

He can and does hurt people he just doesn't throw nearly as often to get a knockout.

He combo'd, Maidana, Cotto, Mosely, and Ortiz, but not the Ghost, of his most recent.

I think Robert was really strong and Floyd would not open up on him.

i do recall floyd throwing combo's but its nothing like how pac throws his. when floyd throws his combo's it looks like a seal flapping his flippers together. and im not trying to be funny either. floyd throws it like he's hitting the side of his fist on his opponent.

Definitely against Mosley, Maidana, Canelo and Cotto. Admittedly, they're few and far between, as he doesn't really have to throw a lot of combos to beat most guys.

This is true. You can tell the combos don't have much on them. They're certainly not on par with Pacquiao's combinations.
