Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Working on 'Perfect Style' For Mayweather

May and jmm are two completely different counter puncher. JMm is pretty much the only cp that manny struggled with.

All the other cps like Clottey, Cotto (gameplay was to cp PAC), Algieri, Mosley and Bradley all got destroyed.

Floyd is much, much better than those guys. He's in a different league than MP, Bradley, and JMM.

Already have your excuse prepared, huh?

how is it an excuse? weren't floyd fans the one who wanted to clean up boxing now he's working with the biggest cheater in the sport. he still probably won't even win by ko and will hold his way to a boring decision and cement his status as the best ever by beating a guy that was just ko'd by a lightweight lol. this is called cherry picking and its what he does best.

One thing you can rely on for Floyd is that what he learned in boxing is all he knows. He's been doing what he's doing since he started the difference mainly is the speed as he has evidently slowed. He is still well-schooled though, his moves are quite innate. This also includes panicking when he gets hurt, clinching for dear life alternating with Clottey turtle defense. He will also fight back, his hand speed has carried him well. Floyd can fight but he prefers not to. Pacquiao has to make Floyd fight as it is when Floyd is at his most dangerous but at his most vulnerable too. Pac don't have to worry though, Floyd won't fight like that for prolonged periods. Ebb that tide and he can knock him out. This is when the aggression and usage of angles will put Floyd on the floor.

I've never seen Money panic when he's been hurt. He's almost always has a smile on his face. Everything else you wrote is spot on.

pacquiao wants this more!

happily retired without facing manny.


pacquiao UD .

someone said it.


manny is too good to lose to a pot shot fighter


mayweather is going to need to change up his style to beat manny
not the other way .

[GRUSTLER]

Training for one style don't cut it with Mayweather because he adjusts to whatever you are doing or trying to do. Fighters who had the most success against him were fighters with size advantages (Castillo, Maidana not Canelo) which Manny don't have. In order to beat Mayweather you have to be able to out think him on the fly. Manny can only fight one way because even post Marquez KO Manny can't avoid the right hand counter shot. Mayweather by UD or Roach stops fight from Pacquiao eating too many clean counter shots.

If manny goes balls out, I think he will take it. I mean literally leave it all in the ring like JMM did in his 4th fight with Pac. IMO juan was ready to die on the canvas that night in front of his family, the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world! It paid off for him too, that's the mindset PAC needs, certainly not what 99.9% of fighters can ever truly prepare for. Floyd has more to lose than manny (comprehensively)... I see floyd doing what he always does (which is to produce boxing perfection), but some boxers can dig to an almost supernatural determination to win and I think PAC is that someone so floyd better watch out cause I believe Mannys coming this May 2nd, and Hells comin' with him!

[torosboxing75]

I just can't wait for this fight. I can't see how it will be easy for Floyd. Manny by UD or SD.
