Ray doesn't just do everything better than Manny, he's stylistically a nightmare. Pacquiao has trouble with fighters who can work effectively on the backfoot, and he often gets countered when he leads. Cotto was countering him with left hooks and the jab was landing at will. Ray has a faster and better jab than Miguel Cotto, and his right hand packs a lot more power than Juan Manuel Marquez's, who had Pacquiao stunned and hurt in both of their fights...which wasn't too long ago. If Ray forces the fight, I think he gets a stoppage. If Ray wants to box, stick and move, he can win every round.
Some people on here think that leonard will use a lot of lateral movement to outbox pacquaio, i don't really see that at all, he'd have no real need to, he'd dance a bit sure but i see him mainly staying in the centre of the ring, letting pac come at him and land shot after shot on him. Pac a great fighter but he has no advantages against leonard at all and with his less than perfect defence leonard would knock him out in about 8 rounds i believe
the question cannot be answered after the floyd fight ray leonard is a different fighter throws more combos dan floyd da floyd fight will measure how gud pacquiao is in my eyes
You're full of **** man. Blinded by your hatred for Leonard. Tommy fell apart because Ray took it away from him. Period. Pac is a great fighter and I think very shortly it could be argued that his resume could surpass Ray's, but head to head Leonard stops him. Too big, too strong, just as fast, better technically, equal (at least) desire and killer instinct.
