Pac in 2005




Pac in 2014



I guess Roach has solved it within a month

well floyd has adjusted since the first time Zab hit him with a left. from then on Floyd was never hit with a left hand again ever.

he adjust they say

The question is can he minimize how many rights land with this **** he's working on

manny gets touched with rights from low level opposition

It's a given that Floyd will land em

[GRUSTLER]

I think Floyd is going to stop Manny or Roach throws in the towel from taking too many clean shots and not being effective enough against Mayweather. I have analyzed this fight since 2008 and each time I didn't see a Pacquiao victory just because Manny cannot out think Mayweather.

He's not going to out think him he's going to out box him.

"Every time I set the trap, he steps away and puts himself in a neutral position."

"I'm having Manny working on not staying in the pocket too long and getting out before Mayweather hits you back,"

i think they will goad floyd to move forward by attacking floyd coming from the left/right and not in front.

boring fight if floyd do what he did in the 12 round of floyd-maidana 2- it will be 1 guy running and one guy just wont chase.

since manny will avoiding floyd traps, that will only be possible if floyd move forward with ear muffs on.

That punch is is greatest weakness, however, his strait left is his greatest strength. Have you not noticed that he is far more careless with that strait right when he doesn't respect his opponents power? Floyd's lead-strait is definitely better than Pac's opponents but keep in mind, he doesn't sit on it, its a point punch, a disruptor but not a knockout punch.

For every fight Pac has been that the strait right lands on him...please tell me, what was more effective, the strait rights, or his strait lefts? I can't think of a time where someone's lead-right landed more often and with more authority than pac's lead-left. I'm sure he'll eat plenty of Floyd's right, however, how many of Pac's left with Floyd taste?

Statistically, between the two, Manny is probably going to taste the lead right more then Floyd tastes the lead left. I don't think southpaws give Mayweather too many trouble as the general consensus says. I think he's had more trouble against right handers. Castillo, Mosley, Maidana, Cotto. I think anyone, southpaw or orthodox, has a chance to hit Floyd. The question is, will Floyd get hit with that same punch again? Even though Pac's lead left is effective, it is effective when it lands. If we know Pac's lead left is a threat, then so does Floyd. He will take that punch away from Pac.

So what youre saying is...He shoulnt get hit with a right...Ever? WTF are you that ******?

Floyd did make adjustments since Judah, yioure right. HE DIDNT FIGHT ANYMORE ***ING SOUTH PAWS!!!!!! (Except Ortiz...If you count that fight) Most dumbass Floyd fans do count a sucker punch a great win...i get it!

I guess Guerrero isn't a southpaw. Nothing to see her, not much relevance in this post.

That is one problem I see with Mayweather, he observes his opponent to get a better feel of patterns/timing before putting the gas on. When you have someone who's movements and timing is not only very quick, but very unorthodox that observation time is very dangerous. Of course Floyd is the best at what he does, at the same time, so is Pac.

That's very true. To me what is interesting is how Floyd will react in the beginning because more than likely he is gonna eat some really hard shots before he is able to adjust a bit.
