[The Fukin Prophecy]

I saw some sportswriter mention that the way this fight went is how he always saw the hypothetical mayweather-pacquiao fight going. I can see that, with floyd giving him a boxing lesson, but also being more offensive down the stretch and inflicting more punishment.

I tend to agree with this...

I always felt it would have been a boring fight because Floyd would pot shot this dude to a UD...Pacquiao would have no answer for Floyd's pot shotting because his forward approach is easily exploitable for an intelligent slick counter puncher...JMM lacked the "slick" part hence why he found himself on the canvas soo many times which made those first three fights close...

Pacquiao has always been a sloppy one dimensional pressure fighter...His strength is in his unorthodox ability to throw power punches from off angles...From a technical standpoint he's always been raw and never progressed under Roach...Marciano was the exact same way, he was sloppy as fukk but he had that big right hand he'd throw from angles you don't see coming...

I don't think it would be that much of a landslide. I picked Floyd to win, but in the last 2-3 years there have been slight drops in speed / reflexes with Floyd which I think was Pac's best shot to give him trouble on top of Floyd getting the ring cut off easier than he used to (Cotto fight). Pac, though an offensive minded fighter, is much more skilled than Donaire and I think Donaire sorta underestimated Rigo (as did a lot of people).

I DO think though Mayweather vs Pacquiao would have been just a little more exciting, but a lot of filler rounds. If you think about it, how many "exciting" fights as far as action has Floyd been in? Styles make fights.

Not just that but Donaire is more of a counter puncher. He becomes aggressive in small spurts. Pac would lose to Floyd but it wouldn't be as bad as people make it to seem.

One thing I never understood about people who fight Floyd is that they never really attack his body. Cotto was the only guy I ever really seen commit to it but the problem with cotto was that he's too slow.

Floyd's D combined with his counter punching is the reason nobody tries to put in work to the body on may, if you do you're getting countered every time

Rigondeaux's Manager Talks Future Options, Scores, More - Boxing News

By Rick Reeno

Gary Hyde, the manager of WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (12-0, 8KOs), is in full celebration mode. On Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Rigondeaux won a twelve round unanimous decision over Nonito Donaire in a high-stakes HBO televised unification showdown. The scores were 114-113, 115-112 and 116-111.

Hyde, like some others, had Rigondeaux well ahead at the end.

"I thought the scores were too close. I had it 9-3. Maybe they scored a few rounds for Donaire because he was coming forward, but I thought the scores were too close and I had it 9-3 for Rigondeaux," Hyde told BoxingScene.com.

There are plenty of options out there, although most of the big names have moved up to the featherweight division. Some of the names mentioned by Hyde include Vic Darchinyan, who recently signed with Rigondeaux's promoter Top Rank, the winner of this Saturday's fight between Victor Terrazas and Cristian Mijares - who battle for the vacant WBC super bantamweight title, and recently crowned IBF champion Jhonatan Romero.

"Rigondeaux is not going to move up to featherweight. He's been fighting at this weight for about twelve years and he doesn't have any problems with it. I don't see him going up [to 126-pounds]. Rigondeaux will not sit on the shelf. We are very confident that [Top Rank CEO] Bob Arum will get us the opponents and keep him active," Hyde said.

Because of the promotional cold war between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, Hyde realizes that opponents like Leo Santa Cruz or Abner Mares [should he come back to 122] will be difficult to secure.

One potential opponent, rising in the ranks, is overseas sensation Carl Frampton (16-0, 11KOs), who ironically shares the same "The Jackal" nickname as Rigondeaux. Because of Frampton's overseas star power, especially in Belfast, Hyde does not expect that fight to happen.

"I don't think it will happen. Frampton sells a lot of tickets over there. He can sell 9,000 tickets and I don't think he would come over [to the United States] for Rigondeaux," Hyde said.

Hyde expects Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner and widely regarded as one the greatest amateur fighters in history, to continue making his mark in the pro ranks.

"I think he showed it all. He is a complete fighter. He boxed, he moved well, he punched. And when he saw Donaire was hurt [in the twelfth round], he went after him to finish. I am very proud of him," Hyde said.

I guess it's fine to feast on the corpse of Mijares for a payday

Floyd's D combined with his counter punching is the reason nobody tries to put in work to the body on may, if you do you're getting countered every time

the best time to go to the body against May is when he is against the ropes doing the shoulder roll....but you must have tremendous speed to do it or you will be a sitting duck. Zab couldve pulled it off, but May never really went into that stance with him.

I think a FMJ-Pac fight would be much better than Nonito-Rigo. First of all, Pac would be a lot more busier. You think Rigo pot-shotted Nonito? Floyd would pot-shot Pac to death. Yes, May has lost a little speed, but his timing is impeccable, his defense is impregnable, he's ferocious...wait...lol...:roger:
