    1. Pac is not effected by weight gain

    2. Pacs defence looks far superior to what it was.

    3. Pac is a southpaw

    4. Pac throws straight punches

    5. Pac can punch!




    but.....Pac has to get past an exceptional counterpuncher in Cotto.


    One thing that has always impressed me about Floyd is his stamina/ coolness in the ring....he is the best with Hopkns at conserving energy.

    what really impressed me was mayweathers left look and his jab they were the most noticeable punches in the whole fight. though i think he could have press the action a lil more he was TOO cautious fighter the smaller fighter in marquez

    It all depends on the outcome of Pac-Cotto. Pac seem to be still improving...

    If Pac brawls will Cotto, even if he wins, then I do not want to see him against PBF as I do not like his chances.

    But if Pac displays movement, in and out and ring generalship in the same manner he did again DeLaHoya, then I say let's get it on!

    Mayweather is very patient and i don't see him forcing the pace in a fight, so Pac would need to come looking for Mayweather,when he doe's i think he'll get blistered with counters.
    Yet again Mayweather would be the physically bigger fighter.

    seeing a stright powerfull counter left from a soutpaw stance is totally different to defending against a stright right from an orthodox stance.

    Pac is also far fresher and younger than Juan, I also beleive that Marquez peaked 3 years ago where as PAcman has shown an amazing ability to adapt

    i need to see pac adjust to cotto. if he can take cottos punches and wobble cotto or knock him down then floyds in trouble.

    mayweather takes Pac apart, he had trouble with JMM because of his boxing skill, **** me mayweather is in a different league, he put a boxing clinic on Pac man or cotto

    This.

    Mayweather got hit enough last night to suggest that Pacquiao could land a crucial punch if he keeps carrying that power up with him.

    i notice that mayweather lunges when throwing a left hook maybe pacquiao can use his right hook (aka MANILA ICE) to knock mayweather cold.. IMO....

    I think it all comes down to is how Pacquiao deals with the speed of Mayweather. How close are they in speed?

    Marquez is not the same fighter as 2 yrs ago. He looked much slower in the Diaz fight. Pac will be all ever Mayweather and hits much harder at WW. It will be a great fight.

    Got hit enough??? Marquez landed by average under 6 punches per round...If Pac could get a couple clean hits on Mayweather he would probably put him in trouble but lets not use the example that he got hit enough against Marquez to prove a point.
