(Photo credit: Stephanie Trapp/Mayweather Promotions) By Yannis Mihanos: This is part 2 of this fun article series based on what the fans from each side want to happen in the Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao mega-fight on May 2nd at MGM in Las Vegas Nevada.
Last time I presented some of the strongest desires and wishes from the Pacquiao fans. Respectfully this time is the other way around. So I advise you the Pac fans to look elsewhere before it is too late.
Okay. I warned you but you didn’t listen. Did you? It’s alright. Let’s move on and now see what the Mayweather fans most want and let’s have some good fun tonight:
It’s been quite some time (since 2009) that this kind of talk has been going on from various circles and sources. Since then, after each fight of Mayweather the same question from someone will pop up:
Hey Mayweather, when will you fight Pacquiao? Hey Mayweather, when will you make it happen? Hey Floyd, what do you think about this? Hey Mayweather, what do you think about that? Blah, blah, blah, boo. Mayweather fans have been sick and tired hearing this over and over again through the years and they want now Floyd to give the ultimate answer.
Mayweather fans want Mayweather to give the ultimate answer in the ring loud and clear. The way he only knows better to answer. The way that all his previous 47 opponents got to taste first.
Mayweather fans want him to enter the ring against Pacquiao feeling fearless, calm and relaxed. Boxing is not only physical but also mental. Mayweather must be ready fully and completely from the inside out.
Mayweather fans want him to demonstrate the sweet science of boxing at its highest level. For 18 years Mayweather has been teaching his opponents and fans lessons. Timing to its finest detail, defense in perfection and counter punching at it is best.
Mayweather fans want Floyd to show his genius in the ring. Whatever team Pacquiao has in mind, Mayweather knows always how to adapt and bring the match towards his favor. All previous 47 opponents executed plans but in the end they were all caught up in his web. Because they all failed to match his ring IQ.
Mayweather fans want him to completely disarm Pacquiao. By now they all accept that Pacquiao will attack first but Mayweather has mastered the art of defense like no other and now it’s the best opportunity to display it to the world.
They say in driving as a warning that speed kills. I have seen these road signs before. But here in boxing, speed is a good thing, very good, it absolutely wins the fights.
Mayweather fans want Floyd to be faster than Pacquiao. Pacquiao will try to catch Mayweather with his fast movements and punches. So my advice to Mayweather is this: Be faster than the speed of light.
Mayweather fans want to see him handle the pressure and make Pacquiao look like a B class opponent. Whatever Pacquiao may try, in the end depends on whom he may try it. We all know that Mayweather is neither Tim Bradley nor Chris Algieri.
Mayweather fans want to see him win again and go to 48-0. Preferably by a wide unanimous decision.
Mayweather fans want to see Pacquiao leave from the ring like an empty shell; along with his coach Freddie Roach looking very distraught.
Sensible Mayweather fans might accept the possibility of him getting defeated. Win, lose and draw are part of the game. Boxing first and foremost is a Gentleman’s game as they say.
So there you have it, I pretty much exhausted what I have gathered from all of you: the Mayweather fans. I’m pretty sure some of you have even better ideas, you can add them in your comments bellow.
