Not sure if his posted in this thread yet...this was from last night Manny Pacquiao Camp Sets Two-Week Deadline for Floyd Mayweather http://boxing.fanhouse.com/2010/06/...adline-to-accept-pacquiao-deal/?synd=fanhouse
I honestly think Manny wins the first 2.5 rounds cleanly. After that, Floyd should have him figured out. Considering Manny isn't really all that versatile in terms of his style, it should be easy pickins after that. Then I can't wait to hear all the bull**** excuses from Pactards, about how the blood testing drained Pac blah blah blah. Everybody keep in mind, Floyd is undergoing the same exact tests. I think Roach is smart enough to be able to come up with a good plan to beat Floyd. A very good one in fact, problem is once Floyd starts picking him apart, Manny won't know how to execute it. Every boxer has a plan until they get hit. Floyd on the other hand, adjusts to you as the fight progresses. That is what makes him superior in intelligence and boxing ability. Floyd doesn't have to be stronger or faster than you, because he will be smarter than you, without a doubt.
I'm with you on a lot of points but I honestly don't think Floyd gives away more then the first against Manny. I think Manny will win on sheer activity in the first and around haalfway through the second he is going to get hit with a clean counter and the beating will commence. Manny comes forward when he's hurt and that plays right into Floyd's style. Once Manny gets hit his game plan always flies out the window and Roach won't be able to bring him back in against a fighter as smart as Floyd. Manny is a brawler at heart and has never showed the ability to overcome elite boxing. Morales toyed with him in the first fight and JMM survived three knockdowns to pretty much sweep the reast of the fight. Pacquiao fighters don't realize that JMM is a great counter puncher (thus Manny's trouble) and Floyd is twice as good. Not that it matters because 75% of his fans never saw those fights anyways. The internet will explode similar to how Sherdog basically shut down when Fedor got beat. I will skip all the excuse posts because as you already outlined, we know what the excuses will be before hand
I think Manny can get lucky enough in the 2nd and catch Floyd with something. The fight will be almost exactly like the Mayweater-Mosley fight. Only I think Manny will get counter-punched a hell of a a lot more. He is gonna lean on Floyd's left shoulder once he starts getting tired and starts throwing those weird angled hooks. Then Floyd is gonna rock his ass with a clean right uppercut. I think Floyd will definitely go for the KO. He isn't gonna toy with him like he did with Marquez.
that would be nice...but i'm sure it will be another decisions like usual. Thats what turns me off most about floyd
No, you can't. The 10 mil is designed as punishment. It'll only be felt if either of them do something they're not supposed to do. So to say that Floyd's actually conceding anything is to pay him not to cheat. The PED test, meanwhile, exists on the assumption that Manny is cheating. It's intrusive and, as even the NSAC has found, can impact performance if carried out too near before the fight. I. e. all the concessions are on Pacquiao. I imagine the reason he caved in was because he was elected and wants to be able to commit himself to his political duties.
Floyd certainly won't carry Manny like he did Marquez. I think Manny is going to get caught with the same check hook that Hatton got caught with coming in.
Manny doesn't even throw jabs, and the ones he throws are weak as hell and have no snap. Everybody knows Manny has no jab. Now if he suddenly develops one or learns how to throw his correctly, then Mayweather could have a problem. Key to beating slick boxers is a good jab. Refer to round 1 of the Mosley-Mayweather fight. Shane was landing jabs to the body, it was keeping Floyd off balance and was actually kinda making him mad. But that is what you have to do. Manny can't do that. Jabs to the body are punches that BOXERS use, not brawlers. Manny doesn't have a jab developed enough to be effective against Floyd. So scratch that.
Manny's jab is non existant. He throws it out there in a pawwing fashion to try and get inside. He doesn't throw it with the intention of scoring points. His overhand left and rights are his bread and butter
Are we betting on the fight or if Mayweather is going to back out? I think Mayweather doesn't have any excuses left unless he somehow "hurts" his hand before the fight. I'll put $100 down for Manny to win the fight if anyone wants some action. I think Gayweather will do his typical hit and run gay fight style to try to win by points, but I'm hoping Manny can engage him.
I hope this fight pushes through. As Manny's fellow countryman I am rooting for him. He's a humble and nice person but i have to admit that he lost some honor, by sticking too much with the drama of this blood superstition rather than just accepting Floyd's demands. Maybe he's afraid of Floyd, maybe he doesn't like being pushed around. Who knows, perhaps Floyd feels the same way too. In any case i just hope everything is settled once and for all. These two boxers should never be afraid of losing their stature. A true boxer fights for the fight, not for what remains after.
Bet. I'll put up $500 on Floyd against your $250. I will still do the bet if you only want to go $100 against $50. Is Manny still scared of needles? Oh, and money has to go to Clutch in advance. My side of the bet will be donated to Clutchfans tip jar. You can do whatever you want with it. If I lose, I'll either donate $500 or $100 (depending on your choice) to the tip jar. So bsically you are either donating $250 or $50 to Clutchfans. Good for you
