    You do realize that Pacquaio is aware of this, right?

    Say Pacquaio manages to take away Mayweather's right hand, what else does he have?

    Pacquaio has a variety of deadly offensive weapons.

    What happens when Floyd gets countered when he throws the right hand?

    To make matters worse against southpaws mayweather can't walk down 90% of his offense is the lead right hand.

    Watch the guerrero fight. He basically just spams that lead right. Pac's no slowpoke like guerrero. His two best punches which is the lead left hook and the jab to the body is not as effective because of the angles.

    It's basically this he fights like the way he did guerrero but run the risk of being outhustled or he rolls the dice and fights pac aggressively like he normally does against southpaws and run the greater risk of getting hurt. I can't wait.

    Floyds jab & lead hook > Pacquiao's jab and lead hook

    Pacquiao is the offensive fighter in this fight...yet his jab probably won't even land all fight long...he doesn't really use his jab to do damage...more of a fient & range finder.

    Floyd is going to try and control the fight with his jab and keep Pacquiao out of range

    Floyd also knows Manny is going to throw a right hand or a left hand too

    It's about when floyd throwa it...will Manny be ready to block or will he be walking right into it? Floyd is about timing .....every fighter knows he's going to throw the right ....it'd a matter of floyd timing it and he usually does that perfectly

    lead left hook is not as effective against a southpaw because of the angle. Mayweather has a good jab but pac proven to counter jabs effectively. He is sneaky with his counters off of jabs.

    Floyd doesnt really use his jab well against southpaws, he usually just paws with his jab to set up the right hand.

    Floyd wont be controlling anything with his jab

    And why isn't anyone talking about Pacquiao's straight left?

    People say Pac won't be able to land it, but you all do realize when Mayweather fights, his opponents' landing % drops to an avg of 20%. Pacquiao's opponents' drop to an avg of 24%. They're both hard to hit. People just don't think Pacquiao is because his offense overshadows it.

    Chris Algeria was landing the right all night on Pacquiao. Pacquiao is open to the right and can't seem to get away from it. If Bradley can stun Pacquiao, Floyd can too with that right he will land with ease.

    How i see the fight playing out. Floyd will pot shot like he does, land the right tie up or get on the bike out of the way. Pacquiao use to just fire off combos from every angle without a thought. Now he's more of a thinking boxer, which favors mayweather as that's what he does. It Floyd can land his pot shots and upset Pacquiao's rhythm it's going to be a long boring night.

    Different gameplan. Pacquiao knew Algieri couldn't hurt him, so he let his guard down and was more open to take one to land one. It allowed Pac to bully him basically. He'd use a completely different gameplan against Floyd unless Pac finds out Floyd can't hurt him.

    Pacquiao has been so blazing fast over his opponents 'Rios' he lands and is gone before they have time to react and get off. Or they just don't want to get off in fear of being stopped.

    With that being said Pacquiao's last three opponents have been hand feed to him. Rios and Algeria had no Business sharing the ring with Pacquiao, and Pacquiao arguable beat Bradley the first time. So it's hard for me to measure what Pacquiao's true level is right now.

    Bradley was Top 3 P4P regardless of whether Pacquiao fought him before? If anything, that gave Bradley an advantage because he was in his prime, undefeated, coming off two huge wins, and had experience fighting Pacquiao.

    Algieri is a great boxer, speedy, and would beat a ton of 140 fighters today.

    Rios is a heavy puncher, and him vs Maidana would be a great fight. I could see Rios winning. Mayweather fought Maidana twice.

    Pacquiao has the tendency to make good fighters look like amateurs, but don't judge them based off that.

    No fighter is going to get hit if they can help it. It just doesn't make since, if you can slip the punch that's what you're going to do. Pacquiao has always been open for the right, but a guy on Algieri's level made PAC look like easy pickings for the right.

    Algieri didn't have anything on those shots.

    When you plant your feet and put something into a shot, it leaves you more vulnerable. Algieri wasn't trying to fight. He was trying to tap and run.

    Algieri didn't land anything serious all night.
