I do watch Floyd... before he bores me to death and puts me to sleep. But here's another "vision" for you:

Floyd's strength in this fight, is too STAY in the center of the ring and use his high guard to pot shot/counter Manny. Then circle around the ring and NOT get near the damn ropes. Which is why I brought up his legs.

At the same time your neglecting Manny's exceptional footwork. Floyd is NOT fighting a slow plodding donkey (Guerreo, Canelo, Maidana). Manny uses ALOT of lateral movements to get where he wants. He's gonna jump on Floyd and set the pace of the fight.

Manny's gonna be pretty much everywhere in the ring. Just hope and pray Floyd doesn't decide to lean against those ropes.
The real question does Floyd have the power to put Manny away or at least keep him off bay? Margarito, Cotto, Rios, Bradley, etc... All these guys couldn't do it. So Floyd gonna knock Manny out all of sudden? Why's because he's smaller? He's gonna make Manny fight backwards? Really?

How is Floyd gonna respond when he feels Manny's power? What about those feints, speed, and movements/angles? He gonna dodge all those punches dawg?

Watch Sugar Shane who has a respectable chin. He took Floyd's punches and kept coming. He didn't do that against Manny. That fukker was roller skates the whole entire night. Even admitted after the fight "he never felt that kind of power before."


"He (Floyd) will not be running on May 2nd" Okay dawg, we'll see........

You lost me and everyone else with Manny and exceptional footwork. That is something that he does not, has not and in May, will not have. He moves fast and many times, moves without purpose. His inability to cut off the ring is why he never finished Shane, just followed him around the ring like a lost puppy. Now, Shane and Floyd? Shane was visibly broken by the 7th round and was on his shield till the rest of the fight.

Rd 7 – Mosley launches a few soft jabs, Steward calls them “jiggly punches” and Mayweather retaliates. He goes for a big right but Mosley clinches to avoid it. Mosley looks exhausted. Mayweather is looking for big shots. He is really opening up now and pelting Shane with straight rights, 1-2 combinations and more. It almost looks like he’s toying with Mosley, who is just visibly gassed. Mayweather of course knows it and feels it. Mosley is g-a-s-s-e-d, 10-9 Mayweather.

7. Mosley now not enjoying any control at all, throws wild looping right hands. Left-right, left-right from Mayweather, Mosley’s head rocked back again. Mayweather walks away to his corner on the bell, looks into Mosley’s corner and nods, as if to say ‘It’s mine now’.

Let's explore this exceptional footwork Manny possesses.

It really surprised me that Manny appeared to be having trouble cutting off the ring against Chris Algieri," states James Gogue.
"It looked like he was merely following Chris around the ring at times. Manny's going to have to do a much better job of cutting off the ring against Floyd Mayweather Jr. if he hopes to have any chance in beating him."
"Floyd is a much greater athletic talent than Chris Algieri."
No offense to Chris, but he's not in the same league with Floyd Mayweather Jr. when it comes to hand speed, reflexes, footwork, ring intelligence or overall athletic talent."

"In every category, Floyd is just a better fighter than Algieri. If Manny thought he had a hard time catching Chris Algieri, he'll be in serious trouble when he sees Floyd Mayweather in the ring."

Even though many people were impressed by Pacquiao’s latest performance in Macau, China, there were others who saw certain flaws that can be detrimental in a bout against Mayweather. One of them was the inability to cut off the ring effectively.

In his latest fight, Algieri was continuously allowed to freely circle around the ring while not putting much of an offensive attack together, and for the first half of the contest Pacquiao was unable to land anything truly effective. It wasn’t until Pacquiao landed a big shot in the 6th round that the outlook of the fight shifted from: Pacquiao is going to walk away with an easy UD, to is Algieri going to survive all 12 rounds?

Algieri ended up being on the canvas six times, but remarkably still managed to make it through all 12 rounds. The reason why he was able to last the entire fight was not only due to his durability, but Pacquiao’s ineffectiveness to cut off the ring, thus allowing Algieri to recover whenever he got caught with a big punch

Marcos is more of a pure pressure fighter than Manny, far larger than Manny and comes in behind a jab, unlike Manny.

We've been waiting for this fight for six years so anyone can be entitled to their own opinions, but facts are a different thing and bulllshyt isn't flying through here unchecked. Floyd clear UD12

WTF? I just gave you a rundown of why I think Manny wins this fight, and the best you can do is go around finding random articles about Manny's opponents? Is this a f*** joke?

Dude just get lost. It's obvious I'm arguing with another 15 year old Mayweather fan that fantasizes about his cars and $500 per hour hookers.

 

[seemorecizzy]

"he(pacquiao) fights my leftovers." ......"but he beats them worse than you do."

"black people ride for you but i see the truth."

"undefeated means dikk, muhammed ali wasnt undefeated and he was a thousand times the fighter you are."

"here's the problem, you're not a very good offensive fighter so you gotta talk a gang of shyt outside the ring to get people to give a fukk about you."......so true

Watch Sugar Shane who has a respectable chin. He took Floyd's punches and kept coming. He didn't do that against Manny. That fukker was roller skates the whole entire night. Even admitted after the fight "he never felt that kind of power before."


"He (Floyd) will not be running on May 2nd" Okay dawg, we'll see........

flord bores you?
Floyd should stay in the middle of the ring?
Pacquiao has exceptional foot work?

just admit you dont watch boxing and keep it moving I aint bother reading the rest of your post just based off the first part

you were 0-3 by the time you hit your 3rd sentance




















edit:

Manny cant cut a ring + gets frustrated quick + is horrible against defensive counter punchers. Theres a 0% chance this fight is even competitive unless Manny gets a lucky knock out.

 

[Big Boss]

No, He has two more left with Showtime. I'm sure it's going to be a rematch with Manny again.

he has 1 more left after may 2nd

 

[LeVraiPapi]

Manny Pacquiao is Ready: I Love Being The Underdog!


WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao may be facing the biggest fight of his career in undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather but he is taking it all in stride.

"This is just like any other fight I had before," he told reporters as he went through his regular training regimen in his hometown in the southern Philippines.

"I've been in this kind of situation many times in my previous fights. It doesn't scare me. I love being the underdog," said 36-year-old Pacquiao amid reports that oddsmakers in Las Vegas, the site of the May 2 fight, are giving his opponent the advantage.

"It even motivates me to train hard and go for the crown."

Boxing fans have been waiting for years for the match between the two men, considered the best "pound-for-pound" fighters of their generation.

After years of squabbling and negotiations, the two fighters announced on Saturday that they would be facing off in a match that will unify the world welterweight crowns.

Pacquiao already began light training for the fight weeks ago and was seen running laps and punching bags in preparation for Mayweather.

Following reports where the Mayweather camp was quoted criticising his fighting style, Pacquiao said the American would soon learn the difference between watching him on screen and facing him in the ring.

Pacquiao, who has parlayed his boxing fame into a fortune as a commercial pitchman, election as a member of parliament and even being named coach of a professional basketball team, also said he would likely fly to the United States by February 28.

The 38-year-old Mayweather has never lost in 47 fights while Pacquiao by contrast has 57 victories and five defeats -- including two suffered as recently as 2012.

Pacquiao's American promoter Bob Arum confirmed that the two fighters had not made any provisions for a rematch.

"That wasn't even discussed," he said.

@BOBN sky will get it and put it on ppv

But what about the April 25 O2 card with maybe Degale-Direll etc.

2 Sky PPVs back to back? You need to address this on the pod
