Pacquiao dominated Bradley in both fights, even more so in the first. How can pacquiao outland Bradley almost 2 to 1 and have a higher connect percentage and also have the much harder punches and lose? There were rounds that Bradley got dominated and a judge would give the round to Bradley. Totally inept judging. Bradley threw more but pacquiao had a phenomenal guard and he was hitting pacmans gloves and forearms the entire fight. Bradley actually did alot better in the second when he was trying to take pacquiaos head off. And also Manny won the first 3 Marquez fights and was dominating the 4th so its not as if Marquez was schooling pacquiao, he happened to have memo who gave him peds and the power to Ko pacquiao

I disagree! PAC didn't dominate Bradley! Bradley has some very good moments in the fight but tired himself out swinging for the fences! The Bradley fight is what really make me feel like PAC will lose this fight. Bradley made PAC miss a lot! And opposite of what you said, they have PAC credit for shots that didn't land. Is PAC fights Floyd the way he fought Bradley I promise he will get dominated!

when your offense is your defense you automatically have technical flaws, pac is great but the fanatics act as if this guy is the perfect technical fighter. he has a chance at winning but he damn sure better not rush in with his hands down, and drop his left hand after he throws combinations. he will have to be technically sound for 12 rounds in this fight, its not impossible but ive never seen it and i study him.

if he can constantly hit floyd with the same punches for 12 rounds while walking through the counters he will definately win. if the counters start to make pac think then he will lose. we have never seen floyd hit with the same punch after it lands on him the first time over and over... so this will be very interesting as pac has the hand speed and a hell of a right hook

Nah no way....maidana came very close to beating mayweather the 1st fight....first 5 rounds mayweather lost.....boxing is scored over a number of rounds and each round is scored 10-9 that's how boxing is scored so maidana was 5 rounds up over 6....added with the 12th round this fight could have been given a drawer....judges don't wait for 12 rounds and say ohhhh that was he was slightly better in defence or counterpunched better...they score the round and then hand there card in...even a novice knows that........with pacquaio he is not predictable....he comes in low and with a guard and create angles which floyd has not seen in a very very long time.....he is explosive and can be very dangerous...he throws his left and has already moved to the left....mayweather can make adjustments to ordinary orthodox fighters but pacquaio is a whole different beast in terms of movement speed & power and stamina from a southpaw stance.....pacquaio is a n offensive fighter so it stands to reason he does get tagged sometimes but really compared to other offensive fighters pacquaio is very rarely bothered by a barrage of punches because he is never in range that long...may2nd your see just how difficult pacquaio will be for mayweather.....peace out

I agree with this entire post. It's intelligent. Dude sounds like a fanboy and isn't realistic. Manny is also smarter than exboxers and the experts are giving him credit for. He is a good defensive fighter and his legs and footspeed will be the keys to victory in this fight. Floyd is a bit overrated. He was in his absolute prime when he struggled against an old, flat-footed, and part-time promoter in De La Hoya. That told me a lot about him and how great he's not. He also struggled against Ricky Hatton. Hatton has very quick feet and Floyd had a problem with that. He was only able to hit Hatton with single shots. It took him twelve rounds to get a KO over a much smaller man. The same with Roidquez. So, I ask everyone over and over again, WHY do you think he's so great?

BIG factor.


Manny's going to be lightning fast in this fight.


Floyd wont know where the punches are coming from.

Lol! Really!! Overrated??? Roach doesn't think so! Roach said that they have to fight the perfect fight just to win and he's hoping that his legs are gone! That's doesn't sound like he's fighting a overrated fighter! Floyd just does a lot of subtle things that make him great! I've seen him turn his head a certain way to make a guy miss! I mean hate him or love him you have to respect skill! There's not another fighter now or in history with all of his skill sets!

Excellent post, once again!!!!!! Humans HATE the truth, man. They love to kick you when you're down but don't know FACT from FICTION. Smh. Manny beat Roidquez ALL three fights because Roidquez is this "cute" and perfect counter-puncher who waits for the perfect spot to throw. Manny DOESN'T wait!! He throws regarless of what you're doing. He outthrows and outlands everyone. The last time he didn't, was in 2005, against Morales. Now that is domination at it's finest. Floyd is a counter puncher who has a low output. He WILL lose this fight. No way he outpoints Manny and no way he KO's Manny UNLESS he's juiced to the gills. His affiliation with Memo has to be taken into consideration. He knows he has to KO Manny and that's why he is swimming, chopping wood, and lifting weights. Since when does Floyd lift weights and swim??????????? Hahaha! He's SCARED!

The fight with Marquez was close on the 1st and 2nd fight, but every unbiased fan felt like he lost the 3rd! And go look at output and punch stats with PAC against counterpunchers! He doesn't throw as much! PAC struggled with Marquez and Bradley. Nowhere of those fighters are on the same lvl as Floyd! Lol your biased, but I wonder what you will say after 5/2

I'm not a Mayweather fan, but get your facts straight. Mayweather scored a TKO over Hatton in 10 rounds, not 12.
