    Pacquiao has the potential to throw 3 punches to every one that Floyd throws. I actually expect Manny, who's a very accurate puncher, just didn't have much of a target against Clottey, to hit at a better percentage than he did against Clottey.

    Headhunting Mayweather is a no go, but going to the body, really, Mayweather is not that hard to hit to the body, as Castillo fights show.

    If Pacq leaves all anger aside and plays it smart, he can win, because for all of Mayweather's skills and don't try to deny, Floyd has the best skillset in world boxing, for all that talent, Floyd never really showed the work rate. Even against ODLH, where on the biggest stage of his career, you'd expect Floyd to be active, but he never was. It's all good working on defense, but Pacquiao has that work rate (which Judah lacked), that accuracy (which OLDH lacked) and that determination (which both lacked) to beat Floyd.

    Never to outbox Floyd, just to beat him. I'm not saying he WILL beat him, but I see no reasons to why he can't do it.

    Floyd has the skills man, but Pacq's got the determination. I put determination above skills so, after the Clottey fight especially, I'm a believer that Pacq will beat Floyd.

    You should have seen the look on castillo's face after the first fight!

    You'll be even more surprised.

    Floyd and his fans make it too easy. I actually quite like Floyd but I probably come off as a hater, just cos I cant resist taking digs. I've have to bite my tounge a lot of times here :lol:

    Let if flow dude.
    It's hilarious to see people defend him.

    I literally laugh out loud at some of the defenses and **** I can get away with saying because floyd honestly said it.

    I want you to notice something about my post and yours. Mines is simply about facts. Yours is a bunch of assumptions. I dont think Clottey can beat Pac period. But I know Clottey had to do something else if he wanted to win. He didnt even try. So that forces me to believe he didnt try to win.

    Here is another fact for you. Floyd has changed his style in many fights to do what he needed to do to win. He wouldnt of been able to jab his way to a W versus Judah. So he took it inside on him. He had to stay busy against Hatton to keep him off of him, he did that too. Against Hoya he countered off the ropes. Against Corrales he had to stay off the ropes... So far he has done different things to win his fights. Ive never seen him NOT try to win a fight because it was out of his style.

    Apples to oranges. This stat means absolutely nothing. If you think it does, you're gonna be in for a huge surprise when Floyd schools Pacquiao the same way he schooled Marquez.

    1stly Floyd did the most important thing.....he won!

    2ndly he hurt his right hand in the early rounds.

    3rd Floyd tends to throw less than his opponents but his accuracy is nearly always higher!

    4thly Floyd has never lost a fight due to not throwing enough!
