mayeather vs pacman

[Rocky Balboa]

People think Pacquiao is so much better after defeating Hatton. I thought myself something was strange. So I went and analyzed the fight, punch-for-punch, wrote it down, watched it in slow motion, everything. What I saw was very different than the first time when I watched it without expecting anything. I saw a Hatton that came in with all the right tools and doing everything right to beat PAC. Look at the start of the fight, Hatton bullies PAC to the point PAC is running away from him. Just like an animal who cannot resist when it sees its prey fleeing Hatton charges it recklessly throwing all skill and caution to the wind. Pacquiao instantly capitilizes and intercepts turning the fight around. Right until the last KO Hatton had the right gameplan and if you look landed some good hard punches that had their effect on Pacquiao. But it was Pacquiao who, with his speed and power, was able to intercept and combine his power with that of the charging Hatton to destroy him. This repeated itself over and over. If Hatton only listened, stuck to the gameplan and didnt charge, there might have been a very different outcome. After all that scrutiny I wasnt as impressed as I formerly was. I think that match revealed a lot of Pacquiaos weaknesses. Not to mention he drops his gaurd hand whenever he punches leaving him vulnerable to counterpunching.

Many people make a big deal out of Mayweather's defensive skills and they are pretty good, but not so good that he can't get hit buy even a slower opponent with less on the body movement boxing skills

I think people make it a big deal because he is yet to leave a fight with a single bruise to his face. There's a reason why he is called "Pretty Boy" and that is because he always leaves the ring "looking pretty", as gay as it may sound.

Mayweather likes to duck and cover a lot, I think it's to conserve energy

I wonder if that is why he is selective with his punches and not just throws them at will.

Fighting Pacquiao, Mayweather has three problems he has to deal with. First he has to deal with that southpaw stance which takes away alot of that reach advantage. Second Pacquiao has very good stamina and will have to deal with a lot of punches. Thirdly Pacquiao's speed. This combination is what will give Mayweather his first loss if he ever gets in the ring with Pacquaio. Even if Pacquiao can't get a clean knockout shot on Mayweather he's going to have more connects, and drive the pace of the fight to get a UD

How about if he just keeps throwing flurries of punches only to have Floyr shoulder-roll them, connect Pac with a straight right, and then slip away from him. That's his usual style.
