Here's my reasoning: 1 - less pressure on Pacquaio now as he is seen a the underdog, he was by many anyway but even more so now. 2 - if there was some shortcuts (not saying there was) then they will know they can't take them anymore 3 - more focus will go on his technical flaws rather than just relying on speed and power 4 - if ever pacquaio needed something to put the fire back then he has it here in order to prove the doubters wrong All this could mean **** and he could still take a beat down of Floyd but as they say you can take positives from anything and its better for their camp to have learnt them against Marquez than against Floyd
