    None and for good reason. The guy wants to fight guys who are one-handed with slow hands, no defense and plodding footwork. He's never in his career faced a slick fighter because he won't have all the advantages over his opponent and they can exploit his flawed style.

    That's because everybody was surprised that Pacquiao could do things people thought he couldn't do against bigger opponents.

    I don't want to pull up old threads where people would say that Pacquiao's opponents are good counterpunchers, has a good right hand, can cut the ring easy etc. It's not worth my time.

    Why don't you just give me your own opinion? Tell me what opponent(s) Pac has faced that has good lateral movement, or that's a good counterpuncher, or has a good right hand. This should be easy for you. You just have to give your own opinion on the matter. I'll help you out, Clottey actually has a solid right hand, and is a relatively good counterpuncher. Unfortunately, he's flat footed, and doesn't have good lateral movement.

    Floyds a great fighter but that clip does'nt show it!

    He lands with a big right and then misses with his next four punches and the final two hit the guard.

    No you can land punches on mayweathers shoulder, hip, back, stomach and chest until you land the lucky punch on his head. All of the punches you land slow him down and thats all mosley has to do.

    it's also not taking notice of the fact that Marquez and Mayweather have completely different styles.... Marquez's matches up well with Manny... we don't know how Floyds will. I am guessing he doesn't enjoy the same success of Marquez

    Hitting a guy's guard for 12 rounds is not a good way to win a fight. It's a good way to wear yourself out though. And get countered for your troubles. Shockingly, I don't believe that the BOXMASTER has ever actually boxed.

    I think fights like those are eye opener for Floyd. That is why he is fighting more defensively and cautiously.

    If he tries to open up and be aggressive, Pac chances increase exponentially.

    I would hardly call that HURT he was SHOOK theres a difference, he was hardly on ***** street,

    Pacquiao's agressive multiple punchng style is somthing Floyd should be able to cope with but i wouldnt be surprised if Pac won, I would however, favour Floyd.

    Pac will beat Floyd with straight lefts, right hooks, and most importantly body shots. Pac will throw 5 punches to every one of Floyd's. When Floyd hits Pac, Pac will come back with 4 or 5 of his own. Floyd could barely handle Judah's offense. Pac is too much for Floyd.

    Nope. Pac doesn't have the "trigger" like Chop Chop did, he is nowhere near as "slick" as Chop Chop was, and Mayweather would probably never stand in the pocket with Pac anyway. So it is a crap comparison.
