Comments Thread For: Mayweather Ready: I'll Be Very Aggressive, Attack Early

[////]

How often do boxers actually use the plan they told an interviewer they would use? Definitely rarely enough to be statistically meaningless I'd say.

Last one I remember is Kovalev saying he would outbox Hopkins to a decision which everyone laughed at. He actually did that. But it's rare. Floyd will fight his usual fight.

I'm saying it's sad that so-called boxing fans think that Mayweather saying he'll come forward, or he'll be aggressive, means he won't be defensively responsible. But maybe you can't see that. You will on Saturday.

Junior said it
Senior said it
Roger said it

All the videos show it, left hook being thrown repeatedly in all of them

Floyd is going to be in Manny's face all night.

I mean...what other way would he fight a shorter southpaw? People on here have their head up their asses so hard. "OMG, no way does Floyd try to walk down the all-powerful Pacquiao!" Like Floyd is Margarito or some ****. OK, just watch, when he starts working his way inside and ****ing up and downstairs.

i know for sure chickenfloyd is joking...for how can he trade blows and attack early in the fight when pac is most dangerous between rounds 1 to 6...if chickenfloyd changes his gameplan, i would not be surprised if manny will ko him before round 6...

Smokescreen.

Smokescreen....he does this every fight. He gets in front of his opponent and is aggressive. Now when he gets hit that will determine how it plays out. If he feels he can take it well and picks up on Pacs speed he will stay aggressive....if he determines its to damn hard...he will back away control distance and attempt to counter all day.

The chicken ...very aggressive...when, where... are you kidding...will he be attacking a big ball of marsmallow? lol

You have understand Dazed most people think all you have to do is be aggressive and come forward no matter if its effective or not just come forward and you should be given credit for that alone.

Makes sense boxing today to most = back alley brawling and anything less are the actions of a coward

The problem with boxing...

I did not post in like 4 years, I used to be quite active on Estsidebxng before. Boxing is still the only sport I follow (the documentary ***8220;When we were kings***8221; got me hooked) but I slowly realized it kinda sucks for 2 main reasons, and I want to point them out.

But before that, a quick comment on Manny-Floyd. I like Manny as a fighter and as a person but I think Floyd is likely to take it. If Floyd didn***8217;t have the size/reach advantage***8230; then probably I would have went with Manny (thinking Floyd***8217;s skills not enough against Manny***8217;s heart).

In summary, here's the two main problems with boxing (will elaborate a bit on both):

1. Being an ego-maniac (that trains like a demon because nothing/nobody else in life interests him other than not losing) plays too big a role in boxing success. Imagine 2 guys are EQUALLY gifted at birth, but one is an ego-maniac while the other is a nice, laid-back guy. Who***8217;s gonna do better as a boxer? In boxing when we celebrate great achievements we might just celebrate a guy getting an edge because he's an ego-maniac.

2. Boxing will reward disproportionately***8230; exactly those fighters who need LESS courage to climb between the ropes and fight. The underdogs, who need a ton of guts to face a vastly superior/stronger fighter bent on taking their head of***8230; they will be rewarded a lot less than the supremely gifted athlete who knows the fight is just gonna be easy work. This sucks big time.

I just wanted to say this. I might elaborate in two more posts.

Tbf Floyd says this a lot, people laugh then he goes and does it. I believe him and think its the best strategy against any southpaw.
