Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather's Leg Slowed Up, Pac a Big Favorite

[TommyToughNuts]

As the fight goes on Floyd is going to walk Manny down. Just wait and see.

True but the thing is.... Floyd understands he is the bigger guy and has the longer reach and I think he won't let Manny dictate or push him around because physically, Manny is just not an imposing fighter. Movement throws Manny off too because he is off balance at times and throws punches at weird angles and likes to jump in and out. Floyd should treat Manny like the smaller guy he is and impose all of his advantages over Pacquiao by making him miss big and pay big taking Manny's confidence as the clock ticks because if Manny has little to no success connecting on Mayweather he is going to abandon every strategy and fight his way and get careless. Manny is not a thinker and that's the biggest advantage Mayweather has over Manny. That and defense.

Excellent point. Pacq can fight at a single range only. Mid range. He can be beaten to the punch from long range. He can be mauled from close. I just hope it's more competetive than anticipated.

Arum, Manny, and Freddie cherry picking an older, slow leg, Floyd.

Legs won't be an issue. Mayweather will be doing very little backwards movements, he will be planted or going forward for most of the fight. It's going to be surprising how easy mayweather will spin off the ropes in this fight.

Manny has been planning for this fight for five yrs. well maybe he should have focused on the fights he was really fighting in the moment and maybe he would have not lost twice. Ouch. Btw manny fought rios and Algieri last. 2 cab drivers. Manny is not physically as strong as chino or Canelo, thus good luck pushing flyod around. Straight right all day to manny's face. He has not stopped that punch his whole career, so will he now? Nope. I respect manny but cannot stand his camp.

Really?

Any unbiased boxing fan knows Pacquiao did not lose Bradley 1

His last 2 opponents were Bradley (top 3 lb for lb) and Algeri, not Rios & Algeri.

One right hand from someone who had boxed 40+ rounds with him is the only reason Pacquiao has legit lost in 10 years. People talking about an 8 division champion like he's a bum is the first sign that they don't know anything about boxing. At least you said you respect him, there's hope for you.

No excuses when a past it Mayweather beats Pacquiao.

I am actually pleasantly surprised that most Floyd haters say they will give him full credit if he wins. Let's hope for a great fight.

I have to agree not justcoz I am Pacman fan. Love Floyd also. Floyd had been tagged a lot more in his last 3 fights. PAcman got Ko'd but had rebounded well and now more cautious. His speed and stamina remains the same. Power had diminished. Floyd is in a slugfest! I don't think he can run and hide.

Im not going to 100% percent agree with Arum nor Roach but lets keep it real.. Theyve seen so many fights and fighters and prob know more about boxing then anyone on these boards..

Could Floyds leg be a little shot, maybe.. But 5 years of aging does take a toll on a person.. Were all human and its not like Floyds zero means he is invincible..
