Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: If I Hurt Mayweather, I Expect He'll Run

[b Murphington]

Floyd is hard to beat on points but so is manny! Manny stay active throughout the round. Pot shots cannot win a round when fighting manny. I'm more curious on how Floyd will come to fight than manny. We know manny coming for knockdowns or knock out!

Manny will bring the flurries that's for sure. But Floyd, much like Hopkins, knows how to bring down the pace to where he likes it by throwing accurate counters and faints. Floyd weathers storms well, he does. That's an undisputable fact. He will answer whatever Manny throws at him.

Also how do you know Mannys going for the KO? You in his camp? He said he's confident and loves being the underdog and is gonna use his lefts and right, does that mean he's looking for a KO? Going for the KO leaves Manny wide open. If he uses those angles well enough he could give Floyd some trouble. But he's not gonna do it for a full 12 rds, not against Mayweather. People say Floyds gettin caught. Shyt what about Manny? You think he's not getting caught by sharp, cat like, snappy, tricky, sneaky rights? BTW, Floyds got the better chin for sure!

Yep, that's what I'm getting at. I think the 1st round or 2 will be feeling out rounds and then Floyd is going to get tagged. Pac is just too fast to not land something. Afterwards I expect Floyd to give the best performance he can give. I see Pac eating a lot of rights but I also see Floyd getting hit when Pac throws punches in bunches. It's going to be a good fight. I don't see either fighter getting beaten easily.

Exactly right my man...I couldn't agree more. The first couple may be cagey and a bit tentative from both of them, but they will both see what they can get away with and that will either result in Manny swarming Floyd with a couple of flurries/Floyd shooting some hard rights and darting off on angles (similar to his rights vs Guerrero) OR BOTH guys getting even shares of what they need...As you said, neither of these guys are going to have an easy night, it is simply not one of those fights. Manny will be outboxed at times, made to look confused in others while Floyd will be tagged hard and clean at times, forced to cover up and absorb flurries in others.

For either guy to win, they will have to face the best of what the other brings and still come through it, it is that simple we should all know this. Manny will have to fight his way through Floyd's incredible intelligence and defence, Floyd will have to neutralise Manny's speed/power and unrivalled offensive style. The only people that think Manny will not land on/trouble Floyd are fanboys. Likewise the only people that think Floyd can not find holes in/adjust to Manny's attack are fanboys, and neither should be listened too because the majority of them will soon dissipate in the aftermath of May 2nd.

The result of this fight is not easily decided on, that is why the world wants to see it...

Well NATURALLY the right think to do if you get it trouble is to GET OUT OF IT UNTIL YOU RECOVER! You move or clinch to by yourself time to recover...WHO THE **** DOESN'T DO THAT? Nobody is suppose to get hurt and just STAND STILL AND LET THEIR OPPONENTS FINISH THEM

Not really your opponent job to "MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER", they suppose to make it as hard as possible

You are exactly right. But Floyd is the only boxer in the world who clinched after he himself throws a punch and hit the opponent.

He does it mostly when he throw that right straight. If it miss he get on top of you hold your head and push you down. If he hits, then he clinch.

There's some hardcore ignorant fans of boy sides in this thread...

As a manny fan, I can't help but want to ask him "so what happens when he does run and starts to outbox you from afar?"

Will you be like many others who won't adjust and blame the loss on "he was running tho"

I hate mayweathers style but what I what even more is how boxers don't adjust and then blame it on Floyd. Canelo is the perfect example...

What maidana did the first fight is exactly what pac should do.. Unleash hell! If you can't get him in the first 6, you're ****ed and he's gonna beat you, period.

But if you do get to him, it'll make it hard for him to recoup in the championship rounds... All or nothing Pac, but please don't go out there and try to outbox the better "boxer"

Good to see he realizes Floyd might meet him right at the center of the ring! Hagler-Hearns style!

These Manny the beast posts are going to be boomerangs , they will be coming back to haunt Manny fanboys for mths after the fight .

Manny fanboys in reality are hype swallower's that cant see anything other than one guy beating another , the conditions of the fight is invisible , the class of opponent is invisible , the form the opponent is in is invisible , Manny is no beast WW unless they have a weight draining CW on them or they are shot , this is the first in form elite WW without a CW Manny has fought , there is a reason why Manny has avoided WWS for his last 5 fights in a row .

You will all see why on May 2nd .

Don't you get tired of 'preaching the gospel.' You're not even occasionally doing it, you are all out. Take a breather.

[Koljack]

The fight will be a boxing match wont be wrestling at all as Manny is not strong enough to grapple with Floyd .

Are you telling me Manny with his special KO Reyes gloves and blinding speed cant man handle old shot no legs Floyd , you need to have faith in your man kid .

You cannot be smaller lighter and physically weaker and unleash hell on Floyd , he dont have a CW weight that weakened him before the bell sounds , you boys ignore weight well your gunna see the difference in Floyd when he does not have to give his opponent 20+ pounds in weight .

Floyd has a very good chin better than Mannys , Manny wont be able to do anything with Floyd except lose .
