    Floyd has been more active offensively lately. I think he would land enough effective punches to win the rounds. I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd is able to force Manny to fight backing up by utilizing the jab upstairs to set up the straight right. What other punches do you think Manny would land on Floyd other than the straight left and right hook? Floyd has a variety of punches he can use against Manny, left uppercut, right hand sweep, jab to the body and upstairs, straight right, ect.

    Floyd showed he still able to get his offense off even without lead foot positioning in the Ortiz fight

    What caught my eye in the Timmeh fight was how often Timmeh was able to duck his head to make emmanuel's left miss.

    Floyd uses the jab, check hook, and right to the body to beat emmanuel

    Poor Ortiz with his **** footwork and targeting of the shoulder (wtf was Garcia thinking)?

    I don't think you can land the jab to the body without lead foot positioning, and Pac showed an ability to anticipate the check hook and counter it with his low center of gravity. But we'll see.

    It's the angle that matters though, for me at least; two punches with lead foot positioning is worth much more than 5 without it.

    I had the jab to the face and measuring variety in mind.

    While Floyd has the best jab to the body in boxing I'm still quite not sure if he would use it often on emmanuel. He's also very good at putting that right to the body.

    I didn't expect this poll to be so one-sided. Anyway, Floyd has always been the better fighter and would beat Pacquiao at any point and time during their careers. I think that's become more obvious for some people after Pacquiao's loss to Bradley and his gift decision wins over Marquez. He's simply not on Mayweather's level and never has been.

    Manny under-estimated Bradley I feel and he went to sleep in many of the rounds and he still won clearly.

    He wouldn't do that against Mayweather.

    I suppose it looks like Floyd's fight, particularly at this point. Floyd still looks sharp but Pacquiao is clearly slowing down. Damn fight should have happened years ago.

    However as a boxing fan there is nothing I would like to see more than for Pacquiao to hand Floyd his first loss, so I'm going keep clinging to that.

    War Pacquiao.

    I'm watching the replay on HBO right now. I don't care what anyone say, if that Manny from the Bradley fight show up against Floyd, I think Pacquiao would probably win three or four rounds. Whenever Bradley threw a sharp jab or double/triple jabs, he backed Manny up easily. There were times where he landed few left uppercuts and left hooks. The most times when Manny retaliated was when Bradley threw few lazy range finder-like jabs. Floyd would use the right hand sweep behind the gloves and left uppercut consistently against Manny.
