Pacquiao vs Mayweather Official Thread...May 2nd!!!

[The Knee Grow]

Pbf isn't gonna walk through that door

Money doesnt throw combos like pbf but he but he still throws them just not as often or as long. Money might throw a 4 piece combo at the most. I believe he feels 1 or 2 solid accurate punches are better than throwing 5 to land 2

Manny got a 67" reach, Floyd got a 72"
Manny is 5'6", Floyd is 5'8"
Floyd is naturally bigger/heavier

Manny usually does better against dudes who are taller w/ reach advantage, just sayin'.

Floyd has faster hands. His jab will land all night Mannys will not. Thats faster hands. Floyds straight right will land like BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....................

and Steroidiao wont be able to do shyt about it. Short combos when Pacman stalls and counter punches when hes active. He wont see these punches until they're hitting him in the jaw.

I think Vasyl getting 2 consecutive title shots with no real resume is criminal. I think his management team are gangsters to get him a title shot in 2 fights and equally gangster to get him another title shot after losing and i wouldnt be shocked if gary russel or the judges got paid to take a dive. His team stinks and so does he.

Wow, you're really making a run for that pink banner, huh?

Hows that?

You think Vasyl deserved a title shot after one fight. I think you need to hit the sack bruh. You sound touched.

Bored troll get a life.

Manny is 5'6", Mosley is 5'9"

"In the third round, Pacquiao knocked Mosley down, using a one-two capped with a left straight. Mosley was left dazed by the knockdown but managed to stand up. From that point on, Mosley backpedaled and seemed very reluctant to engage Pacquiao, throwing few combinations, trying to potshot with occasional counter right hands, and looking for one big punch. Mosley floored Pacquiao in the tenth round with a push, but referee Kenny Bayless ruled it a knockdown. None of the judges seemed to have agreed with this view, judging from the scores. Replays showed that Pacquiao was throwing a punch off balance, slipped and went down with a little help from Mosley's right hand and with his right foot trapped under Mosley's left foot. Bayless apologized for this mistake to Roach, Pacquiao's coach, after the fight. Pacquiao gained one-sided verdicts from all three judges – 119–108, 120–108 and 120–107."

Floyd is gonna get to a point...maybe 4th round and beyond where he starts to exhibit ring generalship. He can do it a few ways..if he wanted a easy win, he could jab and counter this guy all night. Coast on that shyt because Manny isn't gonna get Floyd too clean unless Floyd wants to mix it up or something from the stars align and Floyd actually gets caught.

Manny does better against dudes with slow feet that just stand in front of you.

The blueprint on how to beat Manny already exists in Marquez. The question is whether or not Floyd would be willing to sustain a little damage in order to get his shots off.

Pacquiao's only chance is a KO victory. If this fight was made a couple years ago, perhaps he could even take a UD victory, but not now when he is simply physically not the same fighter.

 

[H.I.M.]

Given the type of oppoents Pac beat who had him in height, reach and size...those fights tell us nothing about the potential problems Pac will have dealing with the way Mayweather uses his height & reach.

Margarito, Clottey and the ghosts of Dela Hoya & Mosley?

Not exactly the the type of opponents that are adept at fighting a "rangey" style of fight.

Jab jab jab right.

what do you call it?

Those aren't combinations. Floyd often uses the left jab to feint, measure, mislead and set up counters. Canelo couldn't figure out which shot Floyd was going to throw next. Instead of throwing the right hook, Floyd threw the uppercut.

Clowns who have diluded themselves into thinking this will be a competitive fight. They should realize its just going to be fun to watch manny get punched in a variety of creative way be Mayweather.

Nah man, Manny is an alltime great. If this was even 2 years ago I think it would have been a bigger mismatch, but Floyd's speed and power have diminished. His legs have slowed down as well.

u dont know that for certian... fight can go with a floyd lop sided win or floyd can get hurt... floyd hasnt seen someone with the hand speed that manny has, manny hasnt faced a fighter with the defense of floyds.

All those gifs show is that having gone 36+ rounds with Manny can pay off. Also that Floyd is great vs counter punchers. Doesn't say much about their upcoming fight though.

If Marquez fought Floyd four times, he would rock Floyd at some point too. Floyd knows this, that's why he stay giving fighters one rematch at most

AND Manny's a south paw


I do got Floyd winning a UD, but the straight disrespect for Pacquiao is outta hand.

This is the dumbest post I've read in awhile

I truly believe that Roger, while great for Floyd, got him thinking that he can just fukk everyone up by not moving and being more offensive and that has evolved into the potshotting Floyd that we see today.

Actually Floyd's offense was better when Roger had the reigns. Since returning to his father his offensive game has suffered greatly. Plus Roger made Floyd be more aggressive. I think the excessive potshotting may have more to do with him protecting his hands by lowering his punch output.

But you are right to me the only way to me he beats floyd is if his speed overwhelms floyd and he cant figure it out

That could happen. But I think Floyd will utilize a lot of high guard defense this fight. Eventually Floyd will time Manny and counter him. After that, Manny won't jump in with those 8 punch combinations

Why you hating on Marquez so hard? I didn't even say knock down or knock out. I said in 48 rounds I bet Marquez could rock Floyd too. How is that unrealistic? It's called learning from your mistakes and adjustments. Compete in a sport some time.

Floyd was too big, too fast, and too smart for Marquez. Marquez couldn't do ANYTHING against Floyd. Only 2 other fights where Floyd was that dominant were Gatti and Chico Coralez fights. No way in hell Marquez could ever hurt Floyd. EVER!

So who is handling all the particulars of the promotion? Is it Top Rank?
