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

[Arshad221]

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.

I just want someone to show me a video of Manny not putting a high guard up fighting backwards. Manny exposes his gut over and over. They talk about manny telling Marg to punch him but when that body shot landed he ran like hell.

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...

Pacquiao is a counter-puncher now?

I dont even get your point in your posts. First, Floyd is not Margarito so Pac is not going to feel the same level of power from Floyd. You're comparing 2 completely different boxers. Second, Floyd will be on high guard and have his body exposed against Pac.

Agree with that

Yeah just like he ran after Mosley, Corley and Judah stunned him....oh wait?


Floyd gets better when he gets stunned. That's one of the reasons that make him great.

Whatever happened had nothing to do with getting stunned. Floyd had a game plan going into those fights and stuck to it.

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.

Have you ever seen him vs Southpaws? Against Judah, Roger was screaming in the corner for him to crowd Judah's front foot. He stays in front of lefties

So are you saying staying in front of Manny is a good idea? Lets ask Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Shane, etc, how that worked out for all of them.

Pac is light years better than Zab.

All Zab had was freakish athleticism. His Boxing IQ and stamina were low.

Pac will force Mayweather to use his legs. He's going to circle Mayweather and find the gaps.

He'll beat Floyd on footwork alone if Floyd refuses to use his like he did the Maidana fights.

Hopefully Senior comes up with a better gameplan for his son against Manny than he did Hatton

His best plan is to throw the towel early.
