Needless to say, Patrick Wyman and I have watched an awful lot of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao footage lately. As we come ever closer to Mayweather vs Pacquiao itself, we decided to look at the fight from a strategic perspective. Each of us compiled, in order, what we thought to be the three most important keys to victory for both Manny and Floyd. On today’s episode of Heavy Hands, we compare notes.

It’s too easy to forget what an incredibly compelling style clash this fight represents, but the fact that Pat and I came up with nearly a dozen “key points” between us is a nice reminder. Tune in to hear for yourself, and enjoy the show!
