Pacman is vulnerable to what type of punch? Does Floyd have this?

    Only applicable if he uses his straight left or left hook.

    Coz when he throws one hook the other hand is guarding the other side.

    But on a side note. It takes split seconds for Pac to move his arms back to defend and throws another incoming punch.

    i don't think that first one landed on Pac. I think he ended up pushing his arm off and thats what made him off balance.

    I agree with this. He could give Manny a boixing lesson if he choses to do this and Manny really won't have an answer for it. IF he chooses to pot shot manny is ****ed he doesn't have the jab to keep PBF honest.:deal

    One the first one it didnt really hit Pac that much but it took him to be off balanced. Even if Pac did get hit it won't really matter because he has an above average chin which is still prone to cuts.

    Only way to catch Pac is to counter him within half the split seconds when he throws the left.

    Although ppl find mayweather boring i find it interesting to see if the other fighters can break him down.
    mayweather doesnt have to beat a fighter they have to beat him.
    Thats what makes pac v pbf interesting. Pbf is the challenger.

    did anyone notice how in the clinches it was Pac pushing Hatton backwards? His legs are incredibly strong

    as far as Manny vs PBF goes the style matchup definately favours Floyd as does the size but just the overall ability favours PAcquiao.

    the straight right hand (mayweather's best punch) is definitely the punch that could really trouble pac.

    i just dont know if mayweather could deal with pac's movement and punch volume. not to mention pac's power is pretty damn good at the highter weight. his physical and mental toughness are also big factors that i think floyd would have a lot of trouble with.

    Floyd will find a way to use the aggression of Pacman against him. In the process pacman will receive a re-opened cut, which will slow him down severely later on. Any punch will do.

    Watch 1:33 mark of HBO time Round 2.

    Hatton was gonna push Pac back to the ropes again but Pac was wise enough to use(not really hit, more like to use as a defense) his elbow to sway off Hatton back.

    Pac is now learning new tons of tricks.

    very true. i thought he would be stronger than hatton, but i wasn't really sure. he's a beast.

    I really can't see Manny getting in close without being rocked heavily. We all saw what a great boxer like JMM did to Manny, now you take an even better boxer and bigger guy with a longer reach and you think it won't be domination on Floyd's part?

    I find it very hard to see this fight being as competitive as people think it is going to be. Floyd can touch Pac all day without worrying about anything in return because he won't be in Manny's range.

    not the punch but the timing...and pbf has (had) some of the best counter-punch timing in the game...what will be interesting is that IMO timing is something which is severly affected by time off, unlike most people's feeling that fitness is the issue, PBF without his perfect timing and alos accuracy may have more trouble than expected vs. JMM...but if he is still in possession of those I think he'l catch Pac or JMM with any number of punches

    right hand. left hook to the body, left hook. Everything. But Floyd might not want to take the chance because he will be countered.
