Because Mayweather wanted the big money fights. Would he have been as big as he is now if he fought paul williams instead of de la hoya? I doubt it.
Pacquiao fought clottey off a loss, and cotto only because he's top rank.
Mayweather hasn't fought the best, but don't act like Pacquiao has either.
im confused, pbf couldnt fight DLH if he fought paul?
he should have fought both.. and pac was trying to clean up the division, clottey was relevant.. he was coming off a loss to cotto which he was dominating the first half of the fight until he got bodyslammed or whatever happened..
pac was trying to clean out the division, pbf was ducking in the division.. big difference.
there were rumors of pac/berto too, before berto lost to ortiz.. cleaning up the division is much more respectable than sitting in the division and handpicking aging/crappy fighters.. pac will fight anyone, pbf will not.
were any of those pr's? just wondering.. perhaps the 4 double leg bounds?
double leg jump looked fine.. single leg bounds need a little more effort to get that combo of max height + max distance, that's more of a speed bound.
Pacquiao fought De La Hoya, Hatton and Mosley after Mayweather beat them all
He also ducked Paul Williams but that's more Bob Arum. Pac's next fight will probably be Miguel Cotto again instead of Mayweather or Amir Khan because of politics.
mayweather ducked paul/rito/cotto/clottey when they were relevant..... he's been at 147 far longer than pac.. he also ducked margarito when rito was on his tear.. pac fought cotto/clottey, both of whom are young/game.
mayweather has ducked young top talent since castillo BEAT HIM way back.
^^ he waits for fighters to age.. he waited for mosley, de la hoya, etc to age.. now he's waiting for pacquiao to age, WHICH HE IS DOING..
pac is so immersed in pino government, that he definitely wasn't the same in his last fight.. he'll never be the same now.. he's still a freak, and capable of beating MW, but he was much more capable before he got that job.. and MW knows that..
diet = coffee, dunks/50 sets of 3-SL-bounds/speed bounds (5 sets each, best of 12 strides left leg full court, 13 strides right leg full court)/SL hop dribbling/ATG-squat-iso-dribbling(3x3min), PB + cake, 5 egg burrito + meatballs/pasta, tons of stretching
some 3-SL-bounds.. these were set 30 lol.. annoyed at how much im being crushed after that first single leg bound off left leg, i just get smashed.. i was handling them better earlier on, but not MUCH better, so thats still indicative of force absorption issues.
a few dunks on four hours sleep.. legs had alot of spring given my fatigue.. eyes closing level of fatigue, sleepy.. happy with these dunks.. confident ill be able to fly without lifting.
Yo Andrew, I went in the park and did a little plyo workout, did some LR jumps with the baby ball (size 1), some jumps with the small ball (size 5) and I'm telling you, these were downright ugly. Whenever I plant I feel this total "overwhelming lazyness" occuring and my jump is bye-bye. Also, when I did consecutive jumps to the rim (standing on spot) I was landing in a totally different place after each jump and basically I was out of reach from the rim altogether after 3 or 4 jumps.
overwhelming lazyness? dno, can't make sense of that... i mean, once i shut down from hitting my max jumps, i get a feeling like that, but im able to jump max before it happens.. so im not sure what would be happening there if it's happening before your max jumps.
ya well consecutive jumps are really hard if you're reaching up to something 'too high'.. if you go submax, you can control..reaching up with two hands also helps to keep you from twisting and rotating away from your target.

Any idea on how to fix this stuff ^^^? On a jump or two I remembred you talking about jumping the best when you tried to jump backwards and it worked, I really jumped well, but then I turned back to my old self with sucking.
jumping 'backwards' always helps me.. i do it every session for months now.. when i cue it as im warming up or before my biggest jumps, it always helps.

How would you go along correcting all this stuff, all this uncoordinated jumping, and "lazy" jumping (immediately after I forcefully plant is like a "force" magically sucks away all my might, I know it sounds retarded but that's how it feels).
well that just sounds like weakness.. tons of double leg jumping should help, jump rope, reactive work, and heavy lifting..
i think you neglect reactive work/jump rope.. because of the cardio issue.
i will check it out and answer it in a bit.. promise!@$
lol
4 hours sleep last night, really tired, but legs felt so springy, from all of those MR halftucks yesterday... left achilles was a little achy too so i had to hold back.
legs felt so good that i tried a few dunks, landed a few nice ones.
diet = 2.5 hour bball/plyo session (tons of two leg hops while form shooting, 3 @ 10 x 10 MR halftucks to layup, 50 up and back layups), PB + chips, greek salad + chicken +garlic rolls, frozen yogurt huge, really good deep tissue massage for right knee
diet = 4 full court games, 2 large popcorn chicken, EDIT (forgot to list this): tons of single leg work + hop shooting + 50 up and back layups, 6 egg burrito + sea salt chips + peanutbutter, self massage (itb/quads/calfs)
self massage helped my legs alot... going to start doing more of this to see how it effects my legs.. before massage, the tissue feels alot more rigid.
i got mad today.. i get to 24 hour fitness, and instead of how picking teams is supposed to go, these 10 people decided to just start a game with their squad.. so i got next, and i felt like really playing, to shit on them, ended up winning 4 full courts, i was toast by the last game though.. need to get back into ridiculous bball/boxing shape.. i did one jump, unwarm, before the first game i played, easy 33 off 1 step, so that was cool.
those hopping drills ive been doing, have really been improving my conditioning and bball skills.. pullup jumper is disgusting, in game, which i wouldnt expect so soon.. those drills have brought my J back really quick, and im not even shooting actual J's when im practicing.. cool stuff.
all the people were amazed that i was playing in track waffles lmfao.
