Boxing: ‘Pacquiao punches like a woman’

ATLANTIC CITY: Manny Pacquiao’s technical flaws will prevent him conquering Floyd Mayweather Junior if the two ever meet in the ring, according to Mayweather’s father and celebrated trainer Floyd Mayweather Senior. Mayweather Senior is credited for providing his son with a flawless defensive technique. Speaking out on Pacquiao’s flaws, Mayweather Senior was critical of the boxer’s lack of agility. “It’s not a guy like Pacquiao who can beat Floyd,” said Mayweather Senior. “He just comes in throwing punches like a woman. I would have him jabbing a lot more, and I would have him moving his head.”
