The Logic Behind a Pacquiao win...makes no sense

[the_PRODIGY]

Floyd is all kinds of favored to win this fight. But, Pacquiao is a relentless southpaw who throws a hard straight and snappy left that always seems to cut his opponent. There's no way the Philly Shell can block that. Floyd has to dodge and move out of harms way then capitalize on counter opportunities. It's very risky. The problem that Pacquiao poses is after a straight left and you are on the ropes there's more to come. And they're coming from all weird angles. Take note, it's not a left jab, which he is a sucker for, it's a straight left hand from Manny Pacquiao.

I'm curious on how will Floyd react to a nasty cut or a broken eye socket once that unprotected left side of Floyd gets hit. He can't avoid it using the Philly shell, he can't use the shoulder roll. I believe the most effective way to prevent that is by making Pacquiao allergic to a check left hook. He should stun him using that because if not, Pacquiao will keep coming. You have hurt him real bad on his feet or knock him out senseless like what Marquez did.

I dont think he uses the philly shell for pac, i think he puts his window up like he did against Shane and walks him back. I think Roach and Manny will try to time the right hook when maywaether shoots the right, becausehe leaves his chin open, but once floyd gets hit once, i think he takes it away from him.

I disagree that he should walk Pacquiao down. Nobody has successfully done that ever. Erik Morales tried to blitz Pacquiao because Manny's reaction used to step away and cover up. He couldn't fight backwards. But that's before and he has significantly improve on that aspect as we saw on the Cotto fight. And even before, Morales did it only in spurts. I just don't see anyone being able to constantly walk Pacquiao down. He's too good against that and that's what he wants you to do. The best option a Pacquiao opponent can take is to stand toe to toe but keep a steady distance and capitalize on counters as soon as he tries to attack. It requires patience, intelligence and an ample amount of willingness to get hit. Marquez did that and it took him 41 rounds, until he had the power to stop Pacquiao. Floyd can do it, the question will be is he willing to do it. Don't forget he used to be called Pretty Boy. Marquez's face wasn't so pretty after all Pacquiao fights, regardless if fans think he won all of it. That's because he was waiting for the kill when Pacquiao is going for the kill.
