    ...At 135lbs...he beat Morales. I think he was pretty much almost done by this point, but that only made Marquez the best there after he beat Barrera and Pacquiao took care of business...narrowly.

    You cornball. All boxers stand in a bladed position. The question is HOW ANGLED IS IT? Why don't you watch Josh Clottey fight and you tell me if his shoulders are bladed or square. Josh Clottey uses a shell type defense much like Winky Wright which brings his rear shoulder further forward than most fighters. You have to have certain physical attributes, wide shoulders, larger arms, good back flexibility to turtle up, but it somewhat slows down the right hand.

    Timing? The superb timing that it takes to go from standing to cracking a guy CLEAN with your rear hand before he is able to slip, parry, or roll with a punch. If you want to see "baiting" watch Toney or Prime RJJ. It ain't "by design" if you are eating flush shots. Pac just has no defense.

    Dude you don't know crap about boxing.

    Pac didn't take care of ****. His own country commentating team had him losing to marquez.

    He beat marquez with knock downs.
    He got outboxed by marquez in the center of the ring.

    Pac won the fights.

    Either way, it doesn't matter. Right now pac is settled and in his prime. His right hand is a tool now, and he is fast as ****.

    Pac vs May or bust.

    I had him losing too, like I had Mayweather losing to Castillo, but because the fights were so close...I can understand why the judges scored it the way they did. The fact still remains, regardless of how you scored Marquez II, Manny was too preoccupied with fighting the best fighters in his division to concern himself with taking on pure boxers etc.

    How good did you consider Jose Luis Castillo's jab?

    Seriously.

    He has lost rounds to guys near their primes. He has been hurt by them too.

    Pac is in his prime, and the best fighter floyd will have ever faced.

    Manny Pacquiao has looked infallible for awhile now. His combination of speed, power, and endurance has proven to be a winning one, and I feel Mayweather will have many questions to answer himself if the fight was to ever materialize.

    I went for so long doubting him. He's broken all conventions with how he has moved up to 147lbs and continually put the hurt on good, seasoned fighters. Joshua Clottey was a dangerous contender leading up to their fight, and now he's just a footnote in Pacquiao's illustrious career. It's ironic because many of these Floyd fans must have me pinned down as a Pacquiao supporter, I'm not really, but when greatness is staring you this blindly in the face...I have no answers.

    I don't fault Pac for anything under 135. Hatton was the best my ass. Anyway, he has the title why not defend it against "the best"? He only seems to want to fight Top Rank 147 pounders.

    Cotto was shot anyway.
