The fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is fast approaching and so are the analyses. arsenal transfer news Both fighters have a number of shared opponents from over the years, but all the focus has been on one in particular, Juan Manuel Marquez.
Marquez has one of the greatest rivalries in boxing against Pacquiao. They’ve fought four times, and in all but the last it could be argued that either fighter won. The fourth fight ended with a huge KO in favour of Marquez.
Floyd took on Marquez in 2009, a fight which Juan moved up to Welterweight to take. It ended up a Mayweather exhibition, with Marquez being knocked arsenal transfer news down in the second round and losing by unanimous decision.
All the questions are around each boxer’s characteristics; are they quick enough? Will Pacquiao swarm? arsenal transfer news Can he keep up the work rate? Can Mayweather counter the angles? Will he absorb Manny’s power and exchange?
Augustus, Corrales, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, arsenal transfer news Hatton and Cotto are Floyd’s most famous and entertaining fights to date. Mayweather showed his power and speed along with his strategic and technical prowess.
Marquez is a great boxer and his fights with Manny are legendary, but he is not the key to victory for the May 2 super fight. Roarer, we need your help.

Floyd vs Hatton. Hatton was robbed. Ref was awful. Continually telling arsenal transfer news Hatton to not punch in the back of the head. Where else are you meant to punch someone if all they do is bow down in the corner waiting for a small break to score points. Yes Floyd is fast, yes he is an excellent defensive fighter but he also, whether strategically or with the help of the ref, gets fights going his way. If this fight had of got off the ground 5 years ago Manny would have won easily. I think Floyd will be too good
THat fight was mayweathers comeback from ‘retirement’ , mayweather is a massive stature in physical size compared to most fighters in his division, arsenal transfer news look at the difference in reach and size when he fought marquez. Juan is a terrific counter puncher which suited him to manny who is a swarm punch from all angles kinda fighter, but on the other hand mayweather himself is 10x the counter arsenal transfer news puncher to what maywether is. Im gonna go out on a limb and say mayweather will win this UD, manny will be so hard for him, but mayweather hasnt fought as many soutpaws as he has orthodox but there is no way this fight would happen arsenal transfer news if mayweather didnt think he could win. WOULD LOVE MONEY TO GET KNOCKED OUT, MANNY IS THE PEOPLES CHAMP
Simple Manny needs to be super fit and return to the bloke that throws arsenal transfer news 900 punches in 12 rounds. His work rate is all that can win him the fight. South paw also exposes Floyds body on rope defence, this is where Manny must work to bring around arsenal transfer news Floyds age.
Floyd can’t run from this fight once he is in the ring, there is a reason he has avoided Pacman for so long. Defence won’t win you this match and Floyd does not have the power to stop Manny. So it will go to points arsenal transfer news and pacman if super fit will throw and land twice as many punches.
These are people that monitor both fighters training regimes and fitness levels before the fight. Pacman is said to spend twice the time a day in training to Floyd. The sentenced use was “looks like Floyd is training in slow motion” where as Pacman is said to be in super fitness and speed training.
A value used in by these people is time\intensity and workout styles to figure which fighter is able to last longer. Pacman is 48% fitter at this stage. The same formula is worked out across options for power, speed and aggression.
Pacman will go into this fight with the aim to punch 950-1000 punches in 12 rounds. Mayweather a defensive fighter will need to stop pacman to win, if it goes 12 Pacman will win on points. Some wonder if floyd has the power today to knock out Pacman.
