Faulks Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 OK OK im being a little premature as the fight hasnt been officialy announced yet but i have a feeling that PBF will simply stick Manny on the end of that reach of his and pick him apart all night... Why??? Because thats what Floyd does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yep, 40 people have consistently tried to get inside that reach so far and failed. Not only that he makes them miss and punishes them for doing so even when they do get there. Just for those that say he can be troubled by southpaws. DeMarcus Corley 5' 7 1/2 Reach 70 Zab Judah 5' 7 1/2 Reach 72 Manny Pacciow 5' 6 1/2 Reach 67 Whilst Mayweather himself is 5' 8" Orthodox Reach 72. All except Pacciow are long armed, whereas he is wide in the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapevine241 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i agree with you. the thing i keep asking people is this: what gives pacquiao the most trouble in the ring? ---- counter punching who is the best counter puncher in the sport? ---- floyd mayweather jr. styles make fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Top Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I thought Floyd would win this fight comfortably because Manny will not stop him, but then I thought to myself, Manny doesnt have to stop him does he, he can win it on the cards too. A couple of months ago Floyd won this comfortably for me, now though, although my moneys still on floyd, Im coming to terms with Manny getting a decision of work rate, even if he doesnt land all that much flush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You could be right Bricktop, he can win on points. Just cant see how though when he wont have the handspeed advantage, and a much smaller reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre00 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well lots of people keep mentioning, that Manny will rush him, will keep coming at him, but that is exactly what Floyd wants, just like Hatton/Hoya, all kept coming, rushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faulks Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 After seeing hin destroy Cotto Brick i left thinking jesus this man will destroy anyone but i think Floyd will have the measure of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre00 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 IanF69 what does Manny beating Cotto have to do with "Floyd" ??? it`s a complete different fight, style, movement, strategy, completely different. It`s like saying i beat Mike Tyson, means i can easily beat Winky W. !! makes no sense right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faulks Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Andre, what i ment was him coming up in the weights. We're talking about a freak fighter here who is taking his power and speed up through the weights.. I truely thought Cotto would be to big for him at 145, similar to how Floyd would of destroyed him at 147.. After seeing what he did to Miguel, Which in all honesty was pretty much beat him up after round 3 i no longer feel the size is an issue. More that Floyd will keep him at the end of his arm and pick him apart and get a UD . Agree entirely that it a completely different fight stylewise etc. I was a firm believer that Pac had beat a washed up and drained ODH, an unhealthy Hatton & would soon be exposed...

gemmell100 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 pacman will bring out the best in mayweather. he will walk on to too many punches and get stopped late on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofo2 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Ive taken the same line everytime a fight between them has been mentioned...PBF has every skill and tool in the bag to dominate the pace,smother Mannys in your face style and spoil his tempo and movement to easily outpoint him!! But after Hatton was destroyed and Cotto Dismantled, i'm no longer so sure...he just seems to be getting better and better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
