Despite the sensational knock out by Juan Manuel Marquez to Manny Pacquiao on their 4th fight, I still believe that Manny PAcquiao will beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Why?
Manny Pacquiao was over confident and was too careless when he went down. You might have noticed Pacquiao was leading in the score cards before he dropped his face into the canvass at the last 10 seconds of the 6th Round.
Marquez, on the other hand, is way off to almost to a 2nd knock down in the 5th and 6th round. Didn't happen because, as what some boxing experts suspect, Marquez took enhancement drugs before the fight.
This what made Marquez so strong that his nose broke and bled but still still standing and bouncing from Manny's straight lefts. But of course, those are only speculations until they prove Marquez guilty of doping.
Going back to the 3rd fight, well, it just proved Pacquiao won because he was the aggressor, and not just the one who always seem to run for cover.
Marquez was playing too safe on their third fight. If Mayweather will do what Marquez did, for being known as a defensive fighter, then it would be a Deja Vu for Manny.
Now, let's analyze the two Pacquiao-Bradley fights, the Pacquiao-Rios and Pacquiao-Algieri fights. I don't have to explain and prove why Manny won, even should have won on the first fight with Bradley.
Rios? No Contest.
ALgieri? No Contest.
Now let us see the statistics of these two of the best fighters in the world.
Record and Statistics
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a five-division world champion with 47 fights, all are wins and 26 TKO's. That means he is undefeated as a professional boxer. He was chosen 'fighter of the year' by Ring magazine twice; one in 1998 and one in 2007. He was claimed as the best pound for pound boxer by boxing experts and sports media.
Manny Pacquiao is an eight-division world champion. Fighting from lightweight in his younger days to light middleweight or super welterweight in current times. He has 57 wins, 38 knock outs, 5 losses, and 2 draws.
He was crowned as "Fighter of the Decade" in 2008 by BWAA (Boxing Writers Association of America). He is named "Fighter of the Year" in 2006, 2008, and 2009.
He was claimed as the best pound for pound boxer in the world in recent years. He is even considered as the best fighter of all time in the history of boxing. Probably better than the legend Muhammad Ali.
Let's talk about skills
Mayweather is an orthodox defensive boxer, particularly using his shoulder as a shield against any kind of punches. Mayweather's hands are quick and has a power punch that can knock a guy out in split seconds.
Manny Pacquiao, on the other hand, is south paw offensive boxer. He has hands as fast as a speed of a typewriter. He's got power left punch. And most of all, he has tremendous movements of the feet, making him punching the opponent in many different angles and many offensive alternatives.
A mega fight indeed
Now, if these two boxers meet in the ring, it would be one hell of a fight. It might not be a brawl as everybody wants to expect, but it sure is going to be a scientific fight.
Not the fight like the last 2 Pacquiao-Marquez and 2 Pacquiao-Bradley fights, but boxing on a higher level. On the first few rounds, I predict Pacquiao will read first how Floyd move his body and hands.
When Pacquiao can figure out Floyd's style, then this will be the time for him to get his rhythm going.
If Manny keeps on attacking Floyd with jabs and leading left straights, chances are Pacquiao's going to score more than Mayweather. If Mayweather won't throw punches or would just throw his usual single punches until the last round, he won't win the boxing match.
But if Pacquiao is careless, meaning if he won't protect himself from Mayweather's strong punch, then Pacquiao will go down, as Mayweather is known for being a knockout puncher. Remember that these two boxers are two best pound for pound boxers in the world.
So either way can be dangerous, either of them who is careless will go down. Do not run, Floyd.
If the fight goes like a cat chasing a mouse it would be a boring fight. Pacquiao would keep on finding ways to hit him with his punches but can't seem to get on his way because Mayweather is going to defend and retreat as much as he can.
Or he would do what Marquez did on his last (4th) fight with Pacquiao. If the fight goes something like this, it would be a tiring fight.
If Mayweather wants prove to himself that he is the best pound for pound boxer in the whole world and remain undefeated, then he should do more offense than defense. He should prove to the world that he can beat Pacquiao head to head.
He should forget about his shoulder roll technique. If he keeps on defending himself with his shoulder, Pacquiao is going to break it.
For me, it's 40% chance for Mayweather to win against Pacquiao if he fights more defense than offense. 60% win if he fights more offense than defense.
What about you? Do you think Floyd Mayweather will beat Manny Pacquiao on May 2?
Do you think Manny PAcquiao still has the speed and power to beat Mayweather should their fight takes place?
Do you think the heydays of Pacquiao are over after beating Brandon Rios, Bradley (on rematch) and Chris Algieri?
