I don't even remember Mayweather walking anyone down.. or even being an aggressive fighter to apply pressure..

for the record.. Bradley and Algeari both have good head movement (1) and footwork the other.. and he tagged them just fine..

You're just blinded by the fact that you're boy is in for a tough fight..

Whoever positions their foot on the outside.. will have the more openings.. if not.. there's plan B the ref to rely on.. if all else fails, plan C.. the judges..

floyd walk down judah on the second half of the fight. he put the ear muffs on and move forward.
IF he will put the ear muffs againts manny he surely wont be stationary or wait for manny to attack his blind spot he probably move forward so he could see better.
i expect a lot of action in the middle of the ring. maybe some increase in floyds work rate. power would make floyd win the fight. speed is the key for mannys win.

lol can i borrow this?? it fits my sig

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

i wonder how Manny is gonna react when Floyd starts walking him down

Biggest mistake floyd can do! Manny is so good at fighting backwards throwing combos and power shots while being backed downn. He can turn floyd and hit him some more.

HaHa straight of Rocky yeah lol , let me tell you , a fighter cant train to be hurt , when a fighter is really hurt its his instincts controlling what he does , Manny has lost 5 times go and look at all those 5 loses and you will see Manny do more than fighting backwards you will him running and hanging on like a octopus .

Manny is no beast and no destroyer , just a very good fighter that was well managed early on and has been fighting JWWS to keep winning to secure this fight , you will see how this all translates May 2nd .

ok so can you put all your points on mayweather for a bet? found plenty of floyd fans but it's been hard for me to look for someone who is willing to shed all points for floyd. seems like they only talk but keeping doubts about it. i want to make money from your ignorance.

Is that why 2 of those 5 losses occurred very early on in his career when he was starved making the weight? Clottey and Margs and Mosley aren't JWW's and he beat them all easily. Rios weighed more than Pac did on fight night, he probably weighed about 10 pounds more than him at least and he got beaten to a pulp. Floyd's in trouble man...keep fronting but you know it's coming.

Since when does mayweather jab a southpaw to the gut?? It's actually a very risky move to jab a guy who has the opposite stance as you. Remember judah knocking him down with the right hook?

Guerrero, oritz, he never used them. I'm telling ya'll mayweather's offense is very limited against southpaws he can't walk down.

And because he can't use his shoulder roll his counters are also less efficient. People are gonna be surprised at how bad he will look against pac. I'm thinking of betting money on pac.

He did it to Guerrero, repeatedly, the 8th round is a prime example of him doing it multiple times and everytime, Guerrero slowed up and had to reset. He's going to Manny's stomach repeatedly. He's going to boss Manny around the ring. Floyd is used to being in the ring with people that outweigh him by 15+ pounds now he is going to be the big man in the ring? He's going to put the earmuffs on, go high guard and will trap Manny with superior footwork.

[Arshad221]

yeah I read an article where Floyd sr said their gameplan will revolve around going to the body. against a southpaw as quick and adept at countering as manny, that could spell disaster...

This myth of Manny right hand is a joke, Manny isn't counter puncher like zab but you're using a video of zab when all of you pac fans say zab ain't squat so which one is it? Lol show me a video of Manny not going into a high guard exposing his body while backing up, show me a video of Manny not getting hit to the body backing up and show me one of him fighting backing up.
