    Zab could beat PBF to the punch and he was a natural counter puncher with a good jab. He picked his shots and brought educated pressure against PBF. Pac doesn't bring educated pressure nor does he have a jab. He's can't throw one shot as fast as Zab could.

    Watch Mayweather vs. Cotto.

    Floyd landed 26 % of his punches, got roughed up and looked slow against a shot fighter. Pacquiao would fight in similar fashion, but much more elusive, relentless, faster, with more stamina, more power.

    Pacquiao would have murdered Floyd in 2009.

    With the exception of SRR and Hearns no one in the history of the sport murders PBF at 147. Fools like you once again overrate offense and over look things like defense and ring IQ. PBF is arguably the best defensive fighter in the history of this sport not only that he can flat out box and has never been knocked down or out. I bet you thought Canelo would murder PBF to?:lol::rofl When will you realize that complete fighters like PBF with a high ring IQ and great athletic ability would murder Pac?

    Lastly PBF dropped JMM and tooled him and shut him out. JMM put Pac in a coma and made it the KO of the year. See how that works?:hi:

    Nothing complex as far as Manny's style is concern. Does the same thing in every fight. Bounces in and out, throws punches in bunches from different angles.

    But Floyd has more tools in the shed than an automobile repair man.

    If Manny bounces in Floyd can simply step into him to smother his punches or tie him up and beat him up on the inside.

    If Manny on the outside Floyd can jab him to death and use his superior timing and reach to counter the **** out of him.

    Manny has zero ability to adjust, so what chance would he have to win besides a puncher's chance.

    Hit your head all you want to PBF is light years ahead of these guys he's fighting. You'd be hitting your head again if PBF ever gets that limited and flawed Pac in the ring.:hi:

    Canelo is a boxer-puncher. He tried to outbox Floyd and is irrelevant to anything I brought up. You're on six topics in one post, you're all over the place.

    Pacquiao dropped JMM 3 times in a single round and has had that guy badly hurt many a time. Marquez's punch resistance is the only thing that has allowed him to stick around with Pacquiao.

    I'm sorry but if Mayweather is landing 26% of his punches vs. a tomato can like Miguel Cotto. How would he have kept Pacquiao honest back in 2009?:patsch Guy would have just walked through him the entire fight.

    Most people think that Floyd could beat Pacquiao! All except FLOYD! Why don't all you deluded *****'s go on a million man march to his house you all paid for and tell him that it'll be a walk in the park. I'm sure that you'll all convince him that he should'nt have any worries, easy nights work, yeah! If only Floyd had your confidence that fighting a midgit ain't half as dangerous as fighting bigger men.

    In 2009-2010 was his greatest chance.

    But then he was PED'd up, of course.. he dismissed $40.000.000 for some random blood and urine testing, THINK ABOUT IT.
