Comments Thread For: Photos: Pacquiao in Top Form, Ripped - 9 Days Out!

[jjsmyth87]

You can tell on those 2 pics alone, floyd is coming in top heavy and going for KO, Pac is going for speed, which means Pac will be nimble in his feet and hands.

While, Floyd obviously is trading a little bit of his speed for power.. Floyd must have forgotten that to beat a fast fighter you must be fast too. sacrificing speed is a no no in my book.

Floyd looking heavy will be his demise. This will be a an easy target for Pac, a slower brawny floyd isn't the way to do it. PAc will blitz this big tub of lard full of hamburgers.

Floyd's hands alone looks heavy, just lifting that before throwing will burn unnecessary energy lol wrong game plan floyd. Your in trouble.

Good points, and also its worth noting that for the extra upper body mass Floyd has gained, his legs still look like tooth picks. It looks like Floyd gained weight, but alot of it appears to be fat. His six pack always looks way more ripped than that, which is one of the easiest ways to judge body composition. The less body fat a person has the more his abs will show. Floyd looks like he's getting a spare tire around his waist. Anyways, in that picture of Manny he looks more ripped than any of his weigh in pictures for his welterweight bouts. I'll be getting on my computer soon to post pictures of all of mannies weigh ins at welterweight to show these idiots Manny has looked more ripped these last couple fights where he has undergone random testing than in his fights with cotto, margarito or any of those guys back then. He definitely was more ripped in the lower weight classes but since his move to welter he has stayed about the same every fight

You have to love the dudes on here breaking down each individual muscle and its influence on the fighter and why that muscle is going to help them win. Manny looks good as always.... he's never been very thick which is why his lead looks big lol, as does Floyd.... the whole bulky thing is the angle of the picture, look at how big his arm closer to the camera looks. Watching his training footage he has definitely not slowed down, so all you wanna be Arizas and Memos need to stop it. Fights aren't won on who looks "better" in pictures.

Exactly, Floyd's tooth pick legs can't support that added heavy weight on top which will result to slower movement. That will makes it easierfor Pac to get to him.

You can build muscle on top with all the strength and conditioning an athlete does, but all the exercise in the world can't make your legs bigger, It takes time and years to develop thick strong legs like Pac.

Pac is like a building with strong foundation (legs are sturdy and thick) that he can carry his upper body very well resulting to nimbleness in both feet and upper body. Floyd, having a heavy torso with tooth pick legs will result to a slow version of Floyd.

Wrong gameplan Floyd, hiring Memo and Ariza late in the game just fuvked you up. Why fix what is not broken Floyd? Trying something new and making yourself heavy fighting a typhoon from across the pacific is not the way to go. I truly can smell an easy victory for pac.

Anyone know his 30 day out weight , I didnt see it anywhere did they withhold it on purpose ?

heard from an inside source that he was 152.4, 30 days out.

Unless something is drastically different with their physique, which there isn't, I don't think its gonna play out come May 2nd.

You know why you should only bet after a weigh-in?

A fighters physique tells a bit of the story before you wager your money to bet. It tells a bit of the story.

Pac looking lean and ripped like Bruce Lee is, means he really is going for speed. Floyd in the other hand looks bulky and top heavy even stevie wonder can see that. Means he is willing to trade speed for power.

There is always a trade off. IF you really know the game, everything counts before you bet. Same us betting on a horse, you look at it's phsique and history before you bet.

fought at 154 heavier than any 147 frame can hold...is jump roping in a a speddy genius fashion..i'm going by the fact u mention magic peds...he's running 8 miles...and even better who in the hell says he has to run from a one handed fighter that cannot fight on the inside or force him anywhere in the ring? did jmm run? did bradley run? hell bradley had no legs and stillb eat the man and then went another 12 rounds without touching the cavnas..and has been on the canvas multiple times in his career...please do yourself a favor and realize that before u put money or points up and get slaughtered

Since when has Mayweather ever had toothpick legs? lol

Not that it matters much for this fight but Marquez definitely has toothpick legs and he had tweety birds flying around Pacquiaos head after thier last fight.
