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

[PAC-BOY]

Floyd realizes you can't just pot shot pac, you have to fight him like Morales and JMM have done.... guys who try to box get outworked.

And fighting for 12 straight rounds is something he isnt use to doing. Hes gonna try to win the first half and run the second. Steal rounds.

floyd threw combos against zab,baldomir and marquez.even against canelo and cotto at times.and in sparring he's been throwing lots of combos.

Zab, six round fighter mentally weak.
Marquez, dumb as the aggressor hence picked apart by floyd.
Baldomir, cotto, canelo all lacking in foot speed and dynamic movement.

Pac will have all the answers, floyd will struggle to win a round. He will have to rely on memos juice to win a ko.

Of course he has to be aggressive when he comes out. If you noticed in recent fights, he's generally lost the early rounds or gotten off to slow starts. He can't allow that this time because Pac can sweep the early rounds and make rounds very close in the later half of the fight putting Jr. in jeopardy of losing a decision.

Jr. will definitely fight out of his character for this one I think and that's because Pac is going to force him. If he's already talking about being aggressive early, he's already out of character. I think he is a little worried about this fight because he realizes if he doesn't start off fast, Pac can take it from the beginning and run with it to a 12 rd decision.

You couldn't be more wrong as to why. Just tune in.

Floyd is going to shut the haters up 1 more day

Bitter bitter. Yes Pacman will silence the haters like you. Bet you sajd the same when it was Cottos turn. Your new fav. Fighter gonna find out why he ducked this man all this time.

As for this fight, nothing but hype. He wont be engaging. If he does, manny wins. Much faster hands and better movement. Fraud will have to use his great jab. Moving to the head and body. Keep him off balance while circoing to Pacmans right. Thing about manny, he can lead with either. His footwork will be his most important assest, followed by his rapid combos. I see it ending 10th. Tko or ref stoppinb the onslaught. Maidana got to him. Manny wont hwve even more success with his workrate ans speed?? Coupled that with his movement and strange angles. Extremely intriguing fight. Happy its finally upon us.

Smokescreen.

Exactly, tell the fans what they want to hear and then once you have their cash, run for your life.

floyd is always more aggressive against southpaws,throws more punches,and lands at a higher percentage.

I will not argue about that or dispute it, but this is Manny Pacquiao, a guy who loves it when people come to him as he has said many times. He might fight different vs left handers but, forgetting the hype, Floyd will know that electing to rumble with Manny is foolish.

I think Floyd is well aware that one or two punch combos will not be enough to keep Manny from wanting to attack, unless he hurts him a few times. It is unlikely that Floyd will honestly think potshots or small combos will win this fight, hence his comment on attacking. I would understand that, but having an aggressive mindset and approach to fighting tomorrow is wrong in my opinion. It is not who he is as a fighter, and I would be extremely, extremely surprised if Floyd fights all night in an aggressive method and chooses to fight Manny. That is all I am trying to say.

Please, enough with the smoke screens Jr. is good at and provide your insight. I'd love to hear it in an honest response. Give me reasons I'm wrong.

Are you saying that because you believe Jr. just coming to KO Pac early and there is no need to fall behind in the later half? Say it.

I admit I was being a bit sarcastic when I said he doesn't throw anymore, but the Floyd that dismantled Gatti doesn't look anything like the Floyd that fought Zab, Baldomir, Marquez, Cotto, or Canelo. If you watched 2005 Floyd side by side with 2013 Floyd, they're two different fighters. Pretty Boy Floyd was an offensive fighter. Money Mayweather is a defensive fighter. People paid to watch Pretty Boy Floyd win. Now, a whole lot more people pay hoping to watch Money Mayweather lose.

These aren't my ideas, these are Floyd's. He said in an interview with Dan Rafael once that his only job is to win fights and how he does it is up to him. He went on to say that he doesn't want to end up like all these fighters who've taken one too many shots.

Hell, I don't blame him. Who wants to get punched in the face? Not me. But Floyd saying he's going to come out aggressive is like Roger saying he's going to come out reciting Shakespeare.

It ain't happenin'.

a good strategy against an opponent robbed of his oxygen

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.
