Comments Thread For: Mosley: Pacquiao's Best Shot is To Drill Mayweather Early

[Nightfall]

If manny can stay very busy early on and be able to steal those early rounds. The next couple of rounds pac should be more defensive, be on his toes and let Floyd come to him while pac tags and move like in the rios fight.

If manny can bank In on the early rounds then mid rounds fight more defensive stick and move then the later rounds come back out and be more agressive. If pac is just gonna come out and attack non stop he will not beat floyd like this because floyd is gonna catch him coming in.

pacquiao does'nt know how to fight going backwards

Everyone is talking about what Manny should do and not do. Let me tell you all this, Manny will fight the same way he always does. He has always fought one way, even when they say Freddie did this and that to change him, it is a lie! The only difference in Manny's game is his stamina changed. He became a better conditioned fighter with more experience. Manny's advantage has always been that he is an unorthodox southpaw. If Manny is able to corner Floyd and let off his flurries he might have a chance. If Floyd shows up super-conditioned and well focus Manny is royally f_ucked. Everyone talks about Mayweather's recent fights, but as Roy once said, it is really hard to get up in from your silk sheets and silk pillows to go train your but off, or something to that effect.

This fight will be motivation for Mayweather, who relishes attention, even the grander the better for him. The key to this fight will be adaptability, and that points in Mayweather's favor. Manny fights the same way throughout his fights, whether he's losing or winning. It is laughable the way a few posters are attributing qualities to Manny fight game that he's not effective at or just plain non-existent. Dude doesn't have an effective jab, doesn't know how to cut off ring, doesn't go well to the body, doesn't have good footwork, albeit quick feet, no lateral movements other than jumping sideways, and no inside fighting to rough Mayweather up when he's clinched.

He does have a sneaky left hand when he dips to his right and shoots it down the pipe, but I am sure Mayweather is preparing for that. Can't wait for this fight, because some ppl will be disappointed and some will be vindicated.

Why are you manny fans so salty everytime someone picks Floyd to win? Their opinions are more reliable than yours .

Why?.............

Man, I am waiting o the responses. You forgot a few things.
1. Trainer doesn't have the ability to adapt. Freddie will say, "okay son, you gotta put him on his azz ".
2. Can't fight off his back foot.
3. Reacts to every feint.
4. Lost his power.
5. Cannot follow a game plan unless it's attack, attack, attack.
6. Lacks defense.
7. Telegraphs his left hand by dipping his right shoulder.

He does have fast feet, throws a lot of punches, and will fight. It is NO way he deviates from what has made him Manny. His training camp is all about punch count and endurance so he can sustain the volume of punches. If he's working on anything else, i.e., not dropping his left when he jabs, not lunging, inside fighting, counter punches, defense, etc, then he is toast.

Exactly! PAC is still a great fighter even with his Flaws! But he wins by overwhelming his opponent with angles and speed and punch output. Floyd only flaw is punch output, but he nullifies that with his D!! Yesterday someone said that he will throw 800 punches! That's a lie! He threw around 580 punches against Marquez and Bradley! He landed 25% by landing about 170! Floyd will make him throw about 450 which he will land around 75. I don't think that PAC fans give Floyd credit which even after the fight if Floyd wins they will not give him the credit. They week come up wit something!! I personally think that PAC is great! I UST don't think he can beat Floyd

[TrueBoxingFan23]

Why?.............

Because they have been in the ring with both and are able to compare them better than we can!!

[SkillspayBills]

You have to get to Floyd before he gets your timing distance and speed down. One he does that he gets more comfortable and starts to implement his offense.

[Heavy Heart]

Mosley is right!!! Manny needs his best shot on early rounds. Pacman by KO 1st Rd.

I know their fans have watch Pacquiao low punch and connection % against counter punches. Every true boxing fan knows that a good counter puncher makes you hesitant to throw. Floyd is a great counter puncher. He also is a master of distance deception. He'll establish HIS range, then lean on his right foot deceiving you into thinking you're in range, and setting you up for the right hand counter. With Pacquiao, he'll bite, but will throw two punches, which will open him up for the check left hook.

There is so many different ways Floyd can expose Pacquiao's flaws. I think he win the fight by systematically breaking Pacquiao down to the body. I also think he'll get hit more then he has before. Not from slippage, but because Manny is a good offensive fighter. But, Floyd rarely get hit flush, or hit with 2 clean shots.

pacquiao does'nt know how to fight going backwards

Who says anything about going backwards?? Just stick and move like what he did in most of the rios fight. Let floyd come to him and let floyd be out of his comfort zone and look to capitalize on any mistakes floyd makes.

I'm not saying this will work, but this is something that pac needs to do, mix it up. He can't just come straight out gun blazing for 12 rounds, floyd has just as much stamina as pac.
