Ten Reason Why Pacquiao beats Mayweather

1) Stance, Pacquiao is a southpaw. Floyd has some difficulties with southpaw in the past, southpaws Judah and Corely both caught him with some big shots. Floyd Philly shell defence is more susceptible to being breached from the southpaw stance.

2) Speed, Floyd has great reactions and uses this to evade punches, but as scene with Zab Judah, he was too slow to counter with Judah's speed. Pacquiao speed would be too quick for Floyd to counter effectively.

3) Power, Pacquiao is a huge punhcer, bigger than Alvarez and other Floyd opponents and has the power to floor and stop Floyd.

4) Footwork, Floyd uses his footwork to dictate the range, and weather to engage or not, fighters with poor footwork end up chasing shadows. Pacquiao has great footwork, very quick and great lateral movement to create angles for his shots

5) Stamina, Floyd keeps himself in excellent condition, and is always fitter than his opponents and that why he normally does better in the second half of fights as his opponents begin to fade. Pacquiao is even better conditioned than Floyd, and is just as active in the 12th as in the 1st.

6) Work rate, Pacquiao throws a lot of punches, sometimes over a 1000 in a fight, all hard all meaningful, this will pressure Floyd get him flustered and he will make mistakes. Floyd like fighting fighters that won't press the action so he can dictate the pace this won't happen with Pacquiao.

7) Throw punches in bunches, Pacquiao is a great combination puncher and has a great variety of punches. You can't just throw singles at Floyd, you have to throw them in bunches, some will miss but some will land.

8) The straight left, this punch is devastating for Floyd, and Pacquiao got the best one in the game.

9) Experience, Pacquiao has tons of experience will not get phased by the occasion or imtimidated by Floyd's mind games.

10) Accuracy) Pacquiao has great accuracy with his power punches and averages around the 50%, that figure may drop a bit against Floyd, but Floyd will get hit and hit a lot and hard by Pacquiao.



Or are these ten reason why the fight between these two never happened.

Stats and my judgement are 100% right, and nobody has come close to refuting them.

6) Work rate, Pacquiao throws a lot of punches,
sometimes over a 1000 in a fight, all hard all
meaningful, this will pressure Floyd get him
flustered and he will make mistakes. Floyd like
fighting fighters that won't press the action so he
can dictate the pace this won't happen with
Pacquiao.
If you hit someone with a 1000 meaningful punches
in 36 minutes their head would come off. Get real
ya mug.
-----------------------------

I know, impressive stats hard to believe, but that is what Pacquiao is capable of doing.

Floyd maybe to elude some of these punches but enough would get through to put Floyd down or at the very least win the rounds

7) Throw punches in bunches, Pacquiao is a great
combination puncher and has a great variety of
punches. You can't just throw singles at Floyd, you
have to throw them in bunches, some will miss but
some will land.
But Floyd will just stand there an let him throw
'bunches of punches' and won't hit back.
---------------------

Floyd counter punches with singles, when his opponents just throw one or two punches they are easy to slip and counter, when someone throws punches in bunches, if he tries to counter he gets caught and if he throws back combos, it is a firefight and Pacquiao will win that.

8) The straight left, this punch is devastating for
Floyd, and Pacquiao got the best one in the game.
The straight right, this punch is devastating for
Pacquiao and Floyd has one of the best in the
game.
P.S Floyd does like the left hook from the back foot
to send people sprawling to the canvas.
----------------------

Pacquiao counter right hook is better and can take away Floyd's jab.

And right hooks to the body will make Floyd think twice about throwing that left hook.

9) Experience, Pacquiao has tons of experience will
not get phased by the occasion or imtimidated by
Floyd's mind games.
Floyd has no experience whatsoever. I'll give you
that.
----------------

Floyd has experience, but I was referring to Floyd's opponents lack of experience at this level. Pacquiao has no fear in the ring, Floyd will have fear when facing Pacquiao.

Floyd has stated that his health was more important than facing Pacquiao.

posted on 17/9/13

Again to emphasise my point earlier. Floyd will just
stand and let Pacquiao hit him without throwing a
punch back.

---------------------

Pacquiao wants Floyd to throw back, when he throws they are gaps in the defence, gap which Pacquiao will exploit by setting traps for Floyd.

At the end of the day even if pac was @ his prime he wouldnt be able to deal with the defence of mayweather, he has lost mayweather hasnt. And mentally hes not already he cant make adjustments like Floyd can.

Tyson Fury hasn't lost and David Haye has.

Guess that means Fury is going to win

Even at the post fight presser of the Canelo fight, when Mayweather was asked about fighting Pacquiao, Floyd replied he wants to take a vacation

Ask yourself why is Floyd so frightened of taking the Pacquiao fight.
