Manny used it at times in their first fight some years ago.
But on the night Pacman cited injury after their fight after he lost on points to Mayweather comfortably on the night and mentioned he couldn’t get off because of a shoulder problem at the time.
That didn’t sit will at all with boxing fans at the time and still doesn’t years on with some.
The answer there is that Mayweather was the better boxer and won the fight on the night rightly so on the cards.
However sometimes when these fights happen between legends years later if can favor the loser of the first fight in the rematch.
Bernard Hopkins avenging his loss to Roy Jones later in his career comes to mind on this.
The factor why this can happen is boxers age differently in their careers and it is difficult to pinpoint how father time will react with them when they step in there.
Pacman on the night years ago had a tiny bit of success with the body shots on Mayweather in the first fight in terms of being able to get him on the ropes and pressure him a little.
But Mayweather when you go back and watch that was never really hurt, at all.
That said, the body punch can be more effective years later now for Pacman.
Mayweather is 49 years old now and if he can get some good digs into the body in round 1 to 3, that is something that may work well for Pacman.
Whether big body punches or jabs to the body.
Something Mayweather will be mindful of.
Mayweather first takes on Mike Tyson in an exhibition first up.
