    i wouldn't say "doesn't know", maybe struggles is a better word more or less.

    Would be interesting though. Pacquiao could use his straight left like a jab, and that's hit best power punch!

    He is more vulnerable to a good jab no doubt, but to beat floyd you need alot more

    Ha, Cotto landed 30 jabs over 12 rounds against Mayweather. Mayweather does a good job of avoidng all punches.

    :lol:
    Everyone will have problems with an educated jab. FFS its the best punch in boxing(...well a KO punch is better).

    Floyd can block a jab like the best.. that's the point of a good jab.. you can go forwards against it and backwards against it etc..

    Oscar and Cotto are left handed fighters so they think their jabs are strong etc.


    To have a good something is to use it in attack and defence.

    Lennox Lewis would outpoint him easily then. He should lose 120 pounds and lace em up asap.

    Why did Oscar not just outjab Floyd in their fight for 12 rounds then?

    He's taller and has greater reach - what was the impediment?

    According to Oscar, "It wasn't the night of the jab"

    Good skillful and Good hearted..

    Not to be confused with no skills both types of good and "a good heart".


    Luke Skywalker has a bit of Princess Leia in him.. he's good hearted.


    The ones with a good heart are usually the bad types.. but not like MJ bad.

    Floyd is uncomfortable when a fighter is within jabbing distance. He rather stay on the outside, shoot a 1-2 down he middle(maybe even 1) and move. Repeat....

    Old Oscar nearly beat Floyd.... Imagine what a prime version does to him. Oscar would have won if he stuck to his gameplan anyways.
