Comments Thread For: Thurman: Mayweather is Very Vulnerable in First Three

[chardrnm]

The way I see it Floyd uses the first few rounds to examine and tire his opponent then he will make his move. But against Pacquiao he will have a problem primarily because of PEDS that's right PEDS - "Power, Endurance, Dedication and Speed". It's PEDS vs XYLOCAINE.

Thurman is an idiot. Floyd hits hard enough to make fighters gun shy. Once they get hit by Floyd, they stop attacking and focus on surviving, not getting knocked out. When Floyd connects, fighters don't see the punch coming which stings. It's always the punch you don't see that hurts.

Yeah Floyd puts his opponents in survival mode. Do you even watch the fights?

The only chance mayweather has in this fight is if he can take mannys punches and throw enough of his own to overcome mannys volume punching. Most of the time when an opponent feels the power and speed of Manny pacquiao, they shell up in their guard and just hold on so they dont get knocked out. I think mayweather will not be able to adapt to mannys speed. And Thurman is right, Floyd is not able to knock out Manny pacquiao, unless he uses a **** ton of that xylocaine and doesn't care about breaking his hand. Floyd doesn't throw hard punches because he is scared of he breaks his hand early in the fight then he would have to fight the rest of the way one handed. I believe this gives Manny the advantage because he doesn't have to worry about getting koed, so he can toy with Floyd like he did with Chris algieri and clown him all over the ring and cruise to an easy unanimous decision or possibly even knock out mayweather. If Manny know he is down on the cards in the final rounds tiu better expect some fireworks and Manny will try to knock out Floyd. I feel this is the biggest advantage Manny has is because he has knockout power he can be way down on the cards and still Ko Floyd where as if Floyd is way down which he will be, he cant come back and Ko Manny pacquiao. #war pacquiao #war arum #Floyd is still scared

Pac cant 'clown' floyd. If he tries, he will get countered badly. He will have to be on point at all times.

it will be TBE down the drain. Pac will score a KD on a surprised floydie early rounds. Then floydie will adjust by biking till 12.

Bradley wasn't outboxing Pacquiao for 4 rounds. Those were even rounds in which Bradley barely won two of them while Pacquiao dominated the other two.



Floyd didn't hurt Maidana and the only reason he stunned Cotto was because Cotto was so tired.

Floyd's punches will sting at best. Meanwhile, Pacquiao's punches will certainly hurt Floyd and it's going to show, possibly throughout the whole fight.

Lmao OK buddy

Lol more fans deceived by the algeri fight. Floyd hits harder than JMM and he is faster. Thurman forgets jmm actually adjusted in the first fight. After the multiple kd's in the early rounds, jmm came back and earned a draw. Roach is not fooled like a lot of fans are. I cannot wait fot this fight to happen. A lot of these smoke fans will disperse and there can be real boxing discussion.
