Will Floyd Mayweather Come Out Throwing Bombs to Shock Everyone?

[brocktonblockbust]

so true that manny doesn't seem to have that massive punch anymore all juiced up maybe? In the past? All I know is that manny can still sock it to him and Manny still has a nice pop in his shots. Floyd has never had the type of chin in my opini that could withstand more than one shot from a guy like Moseley or Pacquiao. If mosley had been in his prime he would have knocked Mayweather out in the second round. Pacquiao is still close enough to his prime to get the job done.

Floyd will be more aggressive because he has no choice. He needs to get Pac's respect and make him realize that he can hurt him, which he will do. Floyd and Pac are both lightning fast, but the difference is Floyd is always technically sound and defensively aware. I don't think most people realize exactly how much of a skill advantage Floyd has over him. Pac has a TON of bad habits that he gets away with when he's fighting the typical slower, one dimensional fighters.

When Pac is going to throw his 1-2, he drops his left hand as he's jabbing (it got him KTFO vs JMM). Guess who LOVES to counter jabs with lightning fast straight rights? Pac will throw a combination and drop his hands and admire his work. No problem against guys like Rios and Margarito. Guess who has the best counter punching and timing in the business?

IMO it's going to be the straight right and a big focus on body punching by Floyd. PBF is going to counter the fuck out of him and bang him hard to the body, and IMO he's going to stop Pac. People keep focusing on the troubles that Pac presents to Floyd. He's a big challenge, but people are forgetting the troubles Floyd presents a guy like Pac. Manny is going to get hit from angles he's never been hit from, he's going to get countered doing shit that he has always been safe doing, and people are going to be surprised when Floyd get tagged hard and doesn't go anywhere, doesn't fold up like people think he will and instead fires back and gets the better of the exchanges.

Floyd might get desperate, but I doubt it will be early on. Once he sees how tricky and quick Manny is, he is going to be covering up and relying on power. In a funny way, I can see it being a bit like Pac/Bradley 2. Floyd cannot keep up with the work rate or the combinations and so he is going to have to lay something big down the middle. Floyd doesn't hit hard, so I don't think he can keep Manny off. There is every chance Manny will destroy Floyd and everyone will be in shock. Floyd was only squeaking by Cotto and DLH and Hatton years ago and Manny destroyed these guys. Floyd is in for a hard days night.

If you think Floyd squeaked by those guy you don't get what he does. He was incompete control every minute of every one of those fights. I suspect you're being sarcastic though.

foo-foo Foo-Loid gets cold-cocked by the Pilipino Cock-Duster, he will dust his cock.

Hate to gang up on Gandalf, but you are right.

I can be very sarcastic, but no I wasnt being so here. Floyd loses a lot of rounds against people far more limited than Manny. Manny wont gas, Manny wont shoeshine, Manny will apply it until Mayweather can take it no more. Manny crushes all common opponents except Marquez. Marquez was fat against a weight cheat Floyd. Those Pac odds are fantastic and boxing fans should cash in. In an age of central bank criminality Manny is the only value investment out there.

To put it bluntly:
FLoyd will do the very same thing he'S always done: try to win doing the minimum possible and winning rounds one punch at the time. He will try, though. Personally, I also think that Manny has all the tools to beat him with speed, movement and a nonstop flurry of punches. Won't saying he will but I really think that he can. Floyd did slow down a LOT and got punched by stuff he would normally have avoided against Maidana, Cotto et cie.

On a second thought Floyd might actually attempt to do just that. He might be thinking that Manny will come charging in as he usual does and the only way to counter that is to go for a KO. I'm not sure if that is a good idea for him but I can say that his power is pretty under-rated. I've been thinking that Floyd would instead be running and countering, which is a legitimate strategy, though people might not like it. I still think this is the better strategy for him, run-n-hit.

To burn Floyd's kingdom you must use fire and Pac hasn't had fire in years.
