Comments Thread For: Tarver: Pacquiao Fast Enough To Offset Mayweather

[Joe Beamish]

This fight isn't about speed or power. It's about skills.

The most skilled fighter that Manny ever faced was Marquez. Manny didn't do very well.

Floyd is a thousand times better than Marquez and he's longer and rangier. He's going to land.

So...while Manny is shooting hoops, Floyd is continuing to be a student of the sport for real, and going in completely prepared to exploit Pac's weaknesses.

I hear it of people say Pacquiao is fast enough to offset mayweather and I have to disagree.. Mayweather can match him in hand speed, he's more accurate has better timing has better defense and he is a smarter boxer.. Manny is a great at what he does but in this fight we have levels as well as in all boxing there are levels and this is two different levels of boxing. I have Floyd dominating and walking Manny down by mid fight. After the first couple of rounds floyd will open up and he will begin to pick his shots and pick Manny apart.#msboxingbaby

I agree and can see this happening as well. Manny is not just smaller but has the less skill of the two. This fight looks good because it's two of the biggest names in boxing but Floyd clearly is in another class from Manny.

Tarver was 99% correct with his assessment. Floyd got away with a win against Castillo, it is not going to happen again. This fight is all about the money ,a Pacman win means more money for Floyd and rematch becomes highly relevant but regardless of how i see it, Pac still wins just because he is quicker and a born fighter with lots of experiences. Floyd is past his prime, he is just a brand name now.

The best man wins right, no excuses?

Are you serious, most boxers have skills but not enough power and speed. You shouldn't be talking boxing, you don't know what you are saying.

Name one time I ever made an excuse on Boxingscene.

Every person that fought both said Floyd would win. Floyd will win.
