    He's a 33 yr who relies on speed, stamina and applying pressure.

    He's not getting better at nearly 34 years of age.

    That makes me chuckle, too. The robbery in the JMM fight doesn't count as win, but the one in the Bradley fight does? Despite it being a more blatant, corrupt one?

    This video can't be any more wrong and I was specifically LMFAO when it repeatedly played "counterpunchers with a good defense".
    If anything, the only boxers who had significant success over Pacquiao are counterpunchers with good offense and lateral movement, a.k.a Morales and Marquez.

    We all saw what happened to Bradley and Mosley, two boxers who only retreat in straight lines or lean back to evade punches and tried to counterpunch Pac.

    What Floyd got going on is not simply because he is a counterpuncher with good D, but because his ring IQ is off the charts and Pac don't know how to adjust. (That and illegally dodging below the waist :rofl)
    I can easily envision the first 4 rounds of the megafight going for Pac, then Mayweather eating him up for the remainder of the fight or as soon as he solves the erratic rhythmn of Pac.

    Too bad that Floyd is a scared little ***** that hides behind drug tests despite having the size advantage and the perfect style to beat Pac.

    Other fighters didnt have a problem fighting Pac without blood tests and they are still alive and healthy and some you can make a case that they even beat him(JMM) so what is Floyd scared of?

    He's made improvements, they just weren't able to overcome Marquez's lateral movement and mid-range counter-punching.

    he's improved a fair bit with his right hand and uses his jab more and gets better angles but he couldn't overcome JMM's feints and clever lateral movement, he frustrated manny beyond belief.
