Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao is Reckless, Makes Many Mistakes

[ELPacman]

Not a betting man, have too many family obligations. What I am is a 20 plus year fan of the sport of boxing.

I believe all of my posts, I have provided insight, and reference facts. Not only have I watched all of both fighters entire fights, I've payed attention to the business side of boxing which I'm 50/50.

What I will say, is Pacquiao team has done a great job of building him up. You can't be a P4P champion with such brutal knockouts on your record.

I left out a lot of advantages, i.e., size, reach, body work, chin, etc. It's great to discuss the fight with intelligent boxing fans, which is the only reason I joined the forum.

Give me your reason(s) that Manny will win the fight, if that's who you're picking.

What about will power? Can we agree a lot of Jr.'s opponents were mentally weak and gave up once they couldn't make contact? Now we can agree some of those opponents were common to Pac and Pac either had similar results as Jr. or KO'd them sooner.

Pac's mental will power is tremendous and he gives it his all even in losing or close battles (Bradley, Marquez fights). I don't think Jr. has yet faced an opponent whose will was strong to the very last round. Judah, Mosley, Canelo, or the likes of Cotto, kind of get frustrated and feel defeated to the point where they just want to get to the end without being KO'd.

No matter how many times you Pac Stans say it won't be true. Pacquiao was the one that walked away over drug testing.

The test of TRUTH:

A. Pac walked away because he was doing drugs and didn't want to get caught.

B. Pac being the man that he is was INSULTED and for that reason he said no to JR's "DEMANDS" of drug testing.

Which is it , because its ONLY ONE !!!!!!!

Add the heart with the will to win +speed, power, footwork, aggression, picking fighters apart when he's on his A game. That's why I think he can win.

[stuff jones]

Uh, no. It was that Manny didn't want to take the test.

The same one he's taking now for the fight.

Yeah no. Floyd is on record saying his health comes first when talking about fighting Manny. He was scared.

Ill answer this for you. Manny is a southpaw,one of the best that I've seen in a long time. He's got both hand,and footspeed,something that Floyd hasn't seen since Judah,only that Manny is far better. He's got enough stamina to pressure Floyd for 12 rounds,and not gas out like maidana did in the 1st fight. He's an awkward fighter, who throws from unexpected angles with speed,and can position himself to land 5-8 punch combos,and be outside of the other fighters range as soon as he's done. Manny has just as much,if not more expierence as Floyd,so he won't fold under the pressure like canelo. He has power in both hands,not just the left,and the power doesn't fade,even in the later rounds. This fight is honestly verry close,and for anyone that thinks that Pacquiao doesn't have a chance,and he's going to get embarrassed by Floyd, you either 1 Just recently started following the sport,and know verry little about it,or 2 you're a blind Floyd fan,who's going to be in for a rude awakening on may 2nd.

While Pac isn't as disciplined as Floyd, I see Floyd giving away rounds waiting around to capitalize on Pac's mistakes. Pac is the type of fighter who although he tends to make mistakes, everything else in his arsenal usually compensates for it.

Pac needs to use smart aggression and not give Floyd room or time to think. Keep him on the defense and just stay busy. Switch up your punches and always have him second guessing. Pac can definitely win this fight so long as he doesn't get reckless.

GL with that one. That's who he is at this point. It's part of his "whirlwind" persona as a fighter that's got him this far and you want take it away and have him think more. He isn't gonna stop over extending himself and stop being sloppy over the course of 1 camp.

Yeah no. Floyd is on record saying his health comes first when talking about fighting Manny. He was scared.

Why do people leave out the rest of conversation when bringing that up he said his health come first on the steroid accusations and want to be on even playing field if you ain't got nothing to hide take the test

Lmao! Floyd watching tapes of Manny.

I thought Floyd doesn't watch tapes of his opponents doe.

Yeah! Lmao! Who watches tape of the person that they're fighting!? LAMOPWN!

I love how you guys pick and choose which Floyd quotes to believe.

[johnm is...]

And why does every goddamn Floyd/Manny thread have to turn into why the fight didn't happen before? It's happening now. The past doesn't mean anything.
