    I Honestly think that Basilio is made to order for Pac-Man. Pressure is not the answer for Pacquiao. Basilio was a converted southpaw without a big righthand. He also had a tendency to cut easy. Pacquiao won’t have to look for him. Pacquiao UD

    Manny had those angles that were amazing and just kept throwing so many punches while staying a step ahead for the most part. I may wind up being in the minarity if this thread catches on but I'm sticking with Pac UD. The foot speed combined with his angles and punch volume sway it for me. I know Carmen throws alot too but Pacs feet make the difference. Pac very tough UD
