Mayweather can negate Pacquiao's Flurry

[pacfan]

There are lots of so called intangibles in boxing, something most casual boxing fans fail to appreciate. Most fans go by the simple, 1+1=2 therefore 2-1=1, type of reasoning. So many fans are probably saying, 'Geez, Floyd is superbly skilled, never been down, and he's never lost... but why the heck are most of the top boxers, trainers giving this puny boxer with so many flaws any chances?' I'll tell you why: it's because they can see what most of the casual fans and the so-called experts - of the armchair variety, I mean - fail to see. I'll tell it to you straight. Floyd's gonna get hit unless he runs and he knows that. I was thinking that Floyd would do just that, backing off and off and shooting his favorite pot shots, a legitimate tactic that can win him the fight but something fans will not like. But then, Floyd's camp has been saying they are going for a KO and I've been saying this is probably part of their mind game. You probably know that when one camp shouts to the public something, they are going for the opposite. But now, I've got just a slightest of feeling that they might actually do that. Maybe they feel that if Floyd's gonna get hit, he better hit hard in return. I'm not sure about that and I don't think that is a good strategy for Floyd. As far as I can remember, everyone who went toe-to-toe against Pac eventually backed down or got kd'd.

Morales in the first fight picked him apart.

You're right there but there were some issues in that fight which I will not waste my time debating here as I'm sure it will lead to nowhere. What's important is that Pac was able to prove his point by beating Erik twice after that, something neither I nor anyone else can do. All we fanboys can do is to just debate endlessly. That's why I hate discussing hypothetical fights. I usually come here to discuss upcoming fights - take my position, say my piece, and after the fight, face the consequence, right or wrong. Well ya, that part about facing the consequence was a bit of exaggeration though...
